Expert reviews
“The Corinthia first opened as the luxurious Grand Royal Hotel in time for the Magyar Millennium in 1896, and, despite being destroyed during Hungary’s 1956 revolution, it’s just as luxurious today.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Budapest.
“Set on the Grand Boulevard at the pulsing heart of the Hungarian capital, Corinthia Budapest blends the old and the new flawlessly. The original Neoclassical façade left over the historic 19th-century hotel merges nicely with the renovated rooms, suites and halls.”
“When the Corinthia first opened on busy Erzsébet boulevard in 1896 it was the city’s most luxurious hotel, favored by celebrities and royalty. It has been beautifully restored, and its 414 rooms (with marble bathrooms) are a welcome refuge after a day of exploring.”
“The impeccable Corinthia embodies true Old World opulence. There are inner courtyards with natural light streaming in from glass and wrought-iron ceilings, creating an impression of infinite space.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Budapest.
“The Corinthia carries itself with an effortless grace that no other five-star in Budapest quite matches. Its wide spaces, light marble colouring and glass-covered atriums give a lovely airy feel to the public spaces, and there’s nothing frilly or overly fussy in the design.”

Excellent stay, really warm staff, great spa, will stay again when I’m in the city for work.
It was for a business trip so just a short two night stay, but I thoroughly enjoyed my trip, the staff were fabulous and accommodating. Super professional, the food was great, room service was good. I used the spa after a long day of meetings and again the spa staff were great, I probably spent two hours in there just unwinding using the different rooms.
Nothing negative to report

Huge potential to be the most beautiful palace of the city
The building is stunning. Excellent location. Lovely spa. Most of the staff is incredible (kuddos to George who was serving breakfast. He is awesome).
Some rooms are very dated (special he Residence part). The weather was quite chilly and the whole hotel (public parts and our bedroom) was very cold. When we tried to put the heating on, we have been informed that the heating wasn’t available anymore. They did provide us with a portable heater but it was so tiny that it didn’t make any difference. The main restaurant is not opened for lunch. One option is the bar but the choice is very limited and the quality not great.

We really enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed the spa, used it every day ! Great location near the Jewish Quarter and very comfortable beds !
Be nice to be able to make tea, no kettle in room and only a not very good coffee machine . Also, our room sometimes was not cleaned properly, they leafy dirty cups and water glasses which was a bit annoying …

The room's size and the breakfest with A large variety of food.
The room was very cold (and the bathroom floor is marble!!) and even after 2 visits from the air conditioning technician, it didn't help. Quite by chance we found out from a nearby room that the hotel provides a portable heater which strangely wasn't offered to us. This solved the problem..in addition , at breakfast, there is almost no dessert on offer. Only stale croissants.

Stupendous accommodation.
Beautiful, spacious and luxurious. Staff all great. Arrived early at 10.00 am, and given our room immediately. Breakfast offered a vast selection of food, even an egg station where eggs are made to order. Executive option allows you to eat snacks and drink wine , beers, soft drinks and coffee from 12.00pm to 22.00pm. Heated pool, jacuzzi and sauna, plus spa facilities. Everywhere was spotless, bed super comfortable. Great value for money, especially compared to similar standards in other European cities.
Would have liked a riverfront location, but public transport and taxies are very efficient. It's about a 40 minute walk to riverfront.

This property is stunning both inside and out. The breakfast selection was superb, and the espresso is a straight 10/10. I was particularly impressed by the attentive staff, who never failed to offer a warm 'good morning.' To top it off, the spa is fabulous—my massage was nothing short of extraordinary."
23 March 2026
Very good
I like that you offered me a later check out, which was very much appreciated and not expected at all.
I did not like that I was told breakfast was served until 10.30am, but what that actually meant was you wanted us out of the breakfast hall by 10.30 and that every morning, and the host would start reminding the tables of that fact after 10am. I would suggest bring the serving time in by 30 minutes to achieve the same goal.

Cozy hotel with fantastic staff.
Beautiful architecture and interior decor. The rooms were spacious with separate bath /shower. The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to make a birthday special.
The rooms were still quite warm with aircon at its lowest. The spa costs extra if you don’t choose a deluxe room.
