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.”

Fabulous stay in a junior suite

Beautiful building inside and out with fabulous staff and amazing breakfast selection and the executive area was brilliant with lots of lovely snacks and drinks with a great place to relax. Lovely clean spa which was included in our stay and beautifully clean communal areas will 100% return

I loved everything about this property but there was only one thing I would say and that is perhaps our room wasn’t as clean as I would have expected. The shower blocked up and when I lifted to see what was going on under the shower plug it was rammed with hair and muck so hadn’t been cleaned for a while. Also whilst I was stood in the dressing area drying my hair I could see a LOT of black hair all over the floor (not mine) this didn’t upset our stay at all but I definitely would have rated 5 star instead of 4. I am a house keeper myself so perhaps why I noticed more and I did see the maids hoovers which were indeed

Lovely hotel and spa

Location and reception staff were great

Left on Sunday morning, guy who opened the doors ran out after me saying he'd get me a taxi. Told him no need but he followed me to the taxi rank and tried to get me to say where I was going. I got in the cab and the taxi driver said he was being rude to me in Hungarian.

The staff were outstanding, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. In particular Dominik.

Unfortunately the room was far to hot even with a fan in the room. As it is Winter they can't turn it down! However, the staff did everything to help and moved us to a different part of the hotel which was cooler. Thank you.

We enjoyed delicious food, the beds were very comfortable and the hotel has alot of charm.

The Michelin Star restaurant was EXCELLENT, presentation, quality, taste beyond expectations! The sommelier provided wonderful recommendations and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Chef Schmidt visited our table after the meal and he truly deserves the Michelin star. Without hesitation, we recommend this restaurant

Not recommended if you are staying beyond the second floor as there is no elevator beyond that.

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.

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.

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.
