Callas House, Budapest

Easy location

Hard bed

Lovely old building

No street frontage / no reception on ground floor

The view from the room was exceptional and the room was spacious, with a nice design.

Extraordinary location. Very helpful reception staff. Clean, large room with a lovely balcony. Good complementary breakfasts. Very enjoyable stay.

This small hotel is on a beautiful street,centrally located in the Pest side of Budapest. It is in an old building next to the Opera that has been renovated in a classic Hungarian style. The room was elegantly decorated with lots of comfortable amenities. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The included breakfast was in a lovely cafe on the first floor. I would highly recommend this charming hotel

Everything was great

Really lovely historical building with modern functionality such as a lift.

Worth staying just for the beautiful architecture and wonderfully restored huge and light rooms. Good location too just by the M1 which is a must see and super easy to link with the rest of the city. Unlike any other metro in the world.

The absence of a restaurant is perhaps a bit of a hassle and the breakfast quality is only adequate. Maybe eat elsewhere if you want. The BeefSteak place opposite is fabulous for lunch and dinner but I don’t know it is does breakfast.

Beautifully restored historic building. Comfortable room, excellent location, very quiet, very nice reception staff, excellent & iconic bar/restaurant. The room had a beautiful view of the opera house.

Breakfast room was filled with English speakers, yet there is only one American television station. International television channels were very limited. Breakfast buffet was good. Manager was very professional. But the blonde woman preparing the breakfast room should be fired: surly, rude, unwelcoming, no greeting.

Beautiful elegant room with exceptional attention to detail Friendly and pleasant staff and very well located. Breakfast was also excellent

NA

Great location in city center, near metro. Nice hotel building as well as room furnishings. We got an upgrade to a suite with a roof terase which was amazing. Staff was very nice.

Breakfast could be better

The location was perfect,idea to walk to all major sights in Budapest. The hotel was lovely,our room,two bed,two bath suite was fabulous. The room was very clean ,spacious and had a wonderful view of the Opera house.Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly and informative member of staff-she was very welcoming.

The breakfast let the hotel down as did the two members of staff in the dining area-not friendly and all too much trouble-we felt the food wasn’t worth it either-plenty of places to eat near by.

Great location, beautiful room in a classic building. Very good shower. Good simple breakfast.

There's no lobby where you can wait for a ride or airport shuttle if you need it.

Location was excellent. Housed on 3rd and 4th floor of a beautiful building next door to the magnificent Opera House. Friendly, helpful receptionist.

Breakfast was poor. Very limited choice.

Great lication

Breakfast

Amazing location and facilities, the presidential suite was perfect for 4 people with two bedrooms and two separated baths but a nice common room and an amazing terrace with a view of the opera. You can't really beat the location. The design of the room is very tastefully done and everything was clean.

Although we had an overall nice experience and were happy with the room and location, we did think that the hotel had those as its two big saving graces: central with beautiful rooms. We didn't have any particular issues and were satisfied with the breakfast, our requests were also accommodated for - but both breakfast and service felt a little "basic". While the room was luxurious, the breakfast and service did not fit to the exquisiteness of the facilities, maybe even brought down the vibe a little bit. However, we enjoyed our stay, the room was perfect for our trip, we would just say to manage expectations, the rest doesn't go "above and beyond". (Also, the mattress was a bit on the hard side for us, and the larger bathroom could maybe use a small dresser for storage or to put clothes onto.)

Callas House is in a fantastic location. The room was a good size with a large comfortable bed. Bathroom was big enough with a great shower and water pressure (something we have found to be lacking in other Hotels). Breakfast was limited but adequate and nice. Staff were helpful

The rooms were beautifully decorated. We wanted to experience a traditional Budapest hotel and the building did not disappoint. It has been so carefully restored in an art deco style with so much attention to detail. We loved our room. The reception staff were helpful and kind. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and the hotel team had gone to the trouble of decorating the room and providing a bottle of Hungarian sparkling wine which was a lovely touch and very appreciated. It was fun having breakfast in the restaurant next door which is also a lovely building. Being right next door to the amazing Opera House and located on Andrássy St was a real bonus. It was so easy to get around to all the main sights from there.

Nothing really, but would have liked some prepared fresh fruit on the breakfast buffet. That would have made the breakfast perfect.

Charming, beautiful, boutique hotel with accommodating staff. Excellent location across the street from the Basilica and Metro stop. Street is tree-lined, and very safe. Bed was terrific and HVAC was efficient and quiet. Breakfast 7:30am to 10:30am was plentiful and delicious. Can't wait to stay again!

Excellent location, super helpful staff.

Such a beautiful hotel. Architecture, location, comfortable bed, kind and helpful staff, price, all great.

A very well positioned hotel, with loads of character in an old building. It’s accessible to main sites being right next to Opera. Breakfast was plentiful and good quality. The best thing though was the staff; they are so friendly and so helpful, we couldn’t rate them highly enough.

There is nothing that I could think of to improve this hotel.

A main location in Andrassy street with its beautiful buildings and vicinity to restaurants, cafes and shops. A beautiful Art-Deco building with periodic features. Welcoming staff both in reception and dinning area. Good size of rooms. Comfortable beds. Large bathroom and generous amenities. Good breakfast.

Air-conditioning was not operated, although Booking.com's site indicates the hotel has air-conditioning. Our rooms were in the top floor and the heat was hard to support. Pillows were not comfortable enough.

Breakfast excellent - loved having a beautiful cafe and bar on property. Reception staff outstanding. She went out of her way to book us an airport shuttle and excellent restaurant reservation. Very walkable to all areas of central Budapest.

Didn't realize that 4th floor rooms had only skylights and no windows. Decor and refurbishment however, we're beautiful.

We had an amazing stay at Callas House. The staff gave us a warm welcome, and we had the pleasure of staying in an elegant, charming room with a balcony. Everything was spotless. The location is unbeatable—right next to the Opera House on Andrássy Avenue. An unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

We wish we could've stayed for longer!

Beautiful old building, full of character

It’s a bit eccentric, like me really. Noisy air conditioning. Standard continental breakfast

I can only recommend it. I’ve been to Budapest countless times, and this accommodation is among the best I’ve stayed at. Next time, I’ll be staying here again.

The receptionist was very kind. She upgraded our room for free. We have got a junior suite. The location is perfect. The room was quiet.

There were not so many choices for breakfast, but it was fine.

Great location

The hotel is in a neighboring building to the Opera House. It occupies the third floor of the building. There is an elevator. Friendly staff. Very clean. In the room Nespresso coffee machine, 4 capsules of coffee, tea, honey, bottle of mineral water 0,7. Breakfast is simple and it is included in the room rate. There are comfortable slippers and bathrobe. Thank you hotel management for the opportunity to be a guest of your hotel in January for a very nice price. And now I have a favorite hotel in Budapest where I would like to stay again and which I recommend to others

Couples weekend away, arrived late in the evening but well received by the receptionist who took us to our wonderful room. We stayed in the ‘superior room’ with balcony and it was magnificent. The design was gorgeous and the furniture was of good quality and robust. We requested some extra services from the reception (e.g extra wine glass/ironer) and were quickly answered and accommodated. The balcony was a nice touch but because of the high walls we had little view of the street. The breakfast was included in the price and while the callas café’s design is very beautiful, the staff working there was negative, cranky, and unhelpful and the food was stale and the coffee machine was bad. I would recommend booking without breakfast and enjoying your breakfast in one of the many cozy cafés in the area (for the same or less price). On our last day, the receptionist also kindly organized our trip to the thermal baths while we could leave our luggage behind. Overall, great stay in this unique and exceptional hotel.

Nice room in a boutique hotel on the 3rd and 4th floor of a classic appartment building (though there is a lift). Staff were very helpful and spoke very good English. Well located with M1 underground just outside as easy walking to most of the sites. Breakfast is available by using the restaurant on the ground floor. Bathroom was clean with lots of hot water. Air conditioning did not working (not on - although it was April) but the large windows opened allowing fresh air into the room. Feels a bit like a private room/appartment as once you have received your key you dont need to pass through reception to access the secure area for your rooms.

Shower was over Bath and we prefer a stand alone shower (minor).

Very kind and helpful staff. The only improvement I wish for, is more breakfast choice / home made instead of heated up and perhaps some pre cut fruit and not just a bowl with fruit, fresh juice was missing. And it would be quite good to access the breakfast room from within the hotel building without having to exit the building and walk to the other side outdoors. We were blessed that it was not raining.

The room (deluxe with balcony) was great and the the location excellent. Breakfast was good and covered all the bases (cold and hot food).

The heating / aircon due to the age of the building wasn't very flexible. We had one exceptionally hot day and the room was very warm. that was minor and in no way caused a problem.

This is an amazing place to stay. Location is perfect. Staff go beyond with their service. Breakfast has everything you could possibly want or need and fresh every day.

Breakfast was great. Also the staff is amazing, they upgraded our room for free and were super helpful and polite.

herbal tea options would be nice, also we don't like nespresso but in general that's are just personal preferences, nothing bad about the hotel

Decor, cleanliness,location, helpful staff and safety.

The breakfasts were of poorer quality meats and cheese which does seem to be the european standard . I would've liked more hot food choices.( only Mini frankfurters and scrambled egg) Yoghurts were low fat not full fat but bread and mini croissants were very fresh . Coffee creamers in room were not very nice. Milk would've been good as would an ironing board ( iron provided) . Otherwise great!

The room was beautiful, spacious, and centrally-located. Great value!

Nothing

It was splendid, thank you!

Nothing :)

The incredible fin de siecle/art nouveau/deco features of the room, from the period furniture and ornate window surrounds to the bathroom’s classic brass fittings — yet Callas House is completely comfortable and the staff utterly wonderful. It is also in a perfect location for exploring Budapest in every direction.

hello, room was very nice and clean but a little bit tight, beautiful bathroom, everything is furnished with taste. location is perfect and within walking distance to any attraction, breakfast was not so varied but everyone can find something for themselves. I recommend this hotel.

The hotel is at an excellent location, right next to the beautiful Budapest Opera with a metro stop next to it. However, don't let that stop you from exploring the city on foot. We found the staff very friendly, the room was beautiful and spotless and the breakfast was also good.

The pillows were very flat, that's a personal preference but I woke up with neck pain for a few days.

The location, the furniture, the kindness of the staff

Nothing

Liked the fact it was a nicely converted old building rather than a generic modern hotel.

Great location The staff were very helpful and the whole place was spotless

The hotel is very much central! Walking distance to amazing restaurants and shops, as well as the metro. The room and the bathroom is very well-designed. The breakfast options were limited, but delicious nonetheless. The receptionist is lovely and very, very hospitable!

Hotel is a excellent location close to public transport links

Perfect place to stay in Budapest! Very good location. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Good variety at the breakfast in the cafe next to the main entrance of the building with an exception view on Opera and Andrassy street. Highly recommended.

I liked everything: the position, the room, the aesthetic of the hotel, the staff and the restaurant.

Nothing

Location is fabulous.

Location, staff, charm

I missed a small desk in the room
