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.”

The hotel was excellent like you have stepped back into another era. But the best is the royal palace pool and spas
The stairs leading to reception and the spiral staircase to the palace spa and pool

A wonderful few days in a beautiful hotel
The room was very smart and spacious with a very comfortable seating area. It was clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable. This Art Nouveau style buildingl must be one of the most beautiful hotels in the world! The spa is stunning with a lovely colonnaded swimming pool. The breakfast is great with lots of choice. the staff are so polite and helpful. The bar staff went out of their way to create a private seating area for the football watching guests... so considerate.

A very luxurious hotel in the heart of Budapest.

the booking itself. This may be a problem with booking.com, but I am not sure. When trying to book, the price kept changing. Finally it, didnt and it remained the same until I completed the booking. Later, I discovered that the price had gone up again on me, and because when doing the booking I was not charged, I apparently didnt get my price locked in as it should have been. I do not like that kind of "switcheroo", but I suspect that the problem is with booking.com

Decent value for money, but a refurbishment is needed
Corinthia Hotel never disappoints, especially if you don't have a 5-star luxury expectation. The location is amazing in the city center, the rooms, bathroom and the beds are big. The sheets are high quality too.
Would need a good refurbishment and remodeling in the rooms. You can feel that there is the same furniture in the rooms that was 15 years ago. They try maintaining it but the cheap and old "luxury" is still visible, especially in the details. Slow service at the hotel's lobby bar, and a bit rude personnel in general. A staff member came at 11.30am to check what has been consumed from the minibar, even before checking out while having the "Do Not Disturb" sign on. Anyway, decent value for money due to the location and the big bed.
