Corinthia Hotel, Budapest

Budapest, Erzsébet krt. 43-49, 1073, Hungary (show on map)

Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“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.

Forbes review:

“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.”

CNN review:

“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.”

Frommers review:

“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.

Telegraph review:

“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.”

Great stay!! Would return for a third time.

This is my second stay here, I really enjoy this hotel. It’s beautiful.

Due to the weather temperatures outside, the room was warm. Due to central air, you cannot cool the room. Thankfully, they had portal fans. Note: you do have to ask for them to be delivered to your room.

Wonderful!

The staff are excellent, friendly, helpful and very well informed. Zille who worked in the Executive Lounge epitomised the hotel, really nice, helpful, socially adept and exceptionally organised and professional. Breakfast is exceptional, reception are incredibly helpful and we just loved it all.

A couple of minor issues with room service but nothing major.

The parking is behind the hotel, and with the one-way streets it’s easier, if you’re arriving by car, to go to the garage first and enter the hotel from the back. I did it that way and it was simple. I’m not sure whether the hotel has valet service. Based on other comments, I would guess it doesn’t. The staff is professional and helpful. For example, when we asked for restaurant recommendations, they suggested a few places nearby in addition to the hotel restaurant, and the one we visited was excellent. The room was nice and spacious, with complimentary water, tea, and coffee. Some elements of the room could use a refresh, but nothing that should worry anyone. Breakfast was great. Although the restaurant was packed on the first morning, the staff helped us get seated. They work hard to clean tables quickly and ensure nothing is missing. One touch my wife really appreciated is that the hotel has fresh, well-maintained flowers everywhere. It takes real dedication and attention to keep that up. The hotel’s location is excellent. It was quiet at night, and during the day we were able to reach the most interesting parts of Budapest quickly. We didn’t check out the spa this time, but we will on our next visit.

For some reason Chromecast didn’t work, and I’m a tech-savvy person. We didn’t spend much time in the room, so it didn’t really bother us, and I guess that if we had asked at the reception, someone would have fixed it.

Fabulous

The building is impressive, the location is great !

The rooms are a little bit old, + you had to pay separately for breakfast and spa.. I really think these kind of luxury hotels shouldn’t allow reservations to be without breakfast and spa.. it looks cheap this way. The room came with down duvet which I consider to be old fashioned ..

Excellent experience

Our experience was fabolous. The architecture pf the hotel is real amazing. The rooms are very confortable. Personal so friendly. Ubication is strategic, nearly to the Budapest Castle, Subway, históric Center and Saint Esteban church. Other important thing is the breakfast in the hotel is buffet and very varied.

Nothing. Well, the personal just speak english...

My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful. I visited with my girlfriend, and we both felt very welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. The hotel restaurant was excellent, offering delicious dishes and a pleasant atmosphere. What truly made our stay special was the thoughtful birthday surprise in the room – a bottle of sparkling wine and a mousse au chocolat cake. This personal touch added so much joy and showed great attention to detail. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel for its outstanding service, excellent dining, and warm hospitality.

Very good

The hotel was clean and most of the staff were excellent.

Be aware there is a noisy construction site along one side of the hotel. These rooms appear to be second rated rooms as the air conditioning would work .the temperature stayed on 35 degrees. The only relief was to open the window overnight to freezing temperatures. On the positive side, after one night in the room, the reception staff graciously moved me to another room with no issues.

Was nice and enjoyable.

Upgraded due to faulty air conditioning - room was too hot and no fans were available. Kind of them to do that. Breakfast options were great also! Staff were nice!!

Spa was nice but didn't stay too long. Found it a bit cold after coming out of the jacuzzi but maybe its just me

A Palace stay in the heart of the city.

I grand hotel with beautiful architecture of a time passed. The spa option was very good, they have several hot tubs, sauna's and a steam room. This along with a very nice pool made visiting the spa a daily ritual.

The bathroom could have been cleaner. It was nice to have a bathtub and shower and they provided nice toiletries,

Excellent Hotel/Staff/Facilities

Spa,Staff and ambiance. Restaurant was good.

Room was at front of Hotel and overlooked a main arterial boulevard ; was considerable traffic noise . Hot food at breakfast was lukewarm at best ( though breakfast in general was good) Breakfast service was busy and sometimes staff were overstretched Is a little bit out of the centre so if you want to walk a lot it is ideal.

Fabulous

Me and my girlfriend visited Budapest for her 40th birthday and couldn't be happier with the hotel. The staff was amazing no matter what their job was, from the reception desk, to the inhouse restaurant(s), breakfast station (the breakfast here is excellent), room service and so on. The spa section was wonderful as well. Pool is large enough to do laps in and a selection of different saunas to enjoy. We also opted to get a massage each and it was heaven. A special thank you to the girl in the reception who found a room early when we arrived before check-in and just wanted to use the luggage room, and to the hotel manager for the wonderful birthday present that was waiting in the room when we got back from a long day exploring the city. We have already said we will return to Budapest to see more of the city, and when we do we will definitely stay at Corinthia again.

Fantastic hotel with wonderful staff in a great location! Definitely recommend!

Our stay was one of my favourite trips, the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful and the hotel was beautiful and in a great location. We were celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday and the staff upgraded our room and arranged a little cake and champagne to be delivered to our room while we were having dinner. The breakfast and dinner in the restaurant were totally delicious.

Nothing, it was all wonderful.

Budapests Best.

Had a fabulous few days in this hotel . Excellent facilities including a lovely spa,pool, sauna, steam room, all spotlessly clean. The hotel is very comfortable and worth it's 5 stars . The breakfast is truly exceptional with everything you could desire including champagne 🍾 . The location is very central and all attractions can be walked in a half hours brisk walk. The staff were excellent without exception .

I had an issue with my room being too hot( in October) but it was sorted without any fuss or delay.

Incredible hotel in a great location. Would definitely stay again

The help from the staff was lovely (carrying bags, holding doors etc). It was in a great location. 10 mins to New York Cafe and 20mins to parliament, St Stephen’s basilica etc. The room was lovely and spacious and the shower pressure was great. Caviar and Bull attached to the hotel was one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten in.

The bed was very soft and the pillows were incredibly thin. They were feather pillows so could fold them easily but they were thin.
