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.”

Amazing Luxurious stay with great value for money
The hotel itself is really excquisite luxury, with amazing Spa, hospitality and fine dining cusine the stay was absolutely fantastic. Staff was so polite and accommodating, their concierge service is also exceptional and overall we had really pleasant stay. Location is in the heart of the city with all the landmarks reachable in 15 -20 mins via public transport
Nothing at all, everything was great

Comfortable and accommodating by the staff
It was a very beautiful property with great facilities. It was very big so a bit of a maze to find your room ! The staff were lovely and provided an Easter treat to our room as well as a birthday mouse and champagne, which was very kind of them. The bedrooms were spacious with good amenities and cleaned to a high standard daily.
If you want to be in walking distance of big attractions then this could be challenging for those who do not regularly walk. However there is a tram stop and metro station right outside the hotel. The transport is easy to navigate around the city.

Great hotel, location and very friendly staff
Great entrance , lovely staff, great breakfast selection and great room
The carpets on the corridors and in the rooms could do with a clean. When you stay in either room 1104 to 1112, you need to go through the “events” rooms which are dark and old to get to your room. That was a bit odd.

Best hotel I have ever stayed in.
The hotel was simply amazing - staff so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was spotless, bed comfortable and facilities excellent. The Spa was first class , the food brilliant and the breakfast was out of this world.
Sometimes the water in the shower changed temperature randomly …it wasn’t an issue but that was the only partially negative thing that I could think of.

We were really satisfied with our stay in Corinthia Budapest
We stayed in Corinthia Budapest for few days and were pleased with everything. Historical and architectural value of the hotel is on an exceptional level. We are looking forward to stay again. Special thanks to both Vanessa and Richard in front desk, they were always really helpful and professional.
Nothing that we didn't like.

Absolutely loved the Corinthia and would highly recommend anyone who wanted that extra special hotel
A beautiful hotel which looks like its freshly refurbished. The rooms are spacious and bed extremely comfortable and super large towels! Drinks in the bar are reasonably priced and its location is nicely central. The staff are courteous and make you feel special, a really exceptional stay and experience.

Great stay in Budapest
Extremely varied and tasty breakfast, it even includes prosecco. The hotel is located in a beautiful historic building.
Right from the start, they gave us the wrong room and offered us a standard one. We had to go downstairs and switch to another.
19 April 2025
switched to this hotel from the one we booked as the other was far too small. It wasnt too expensive
The SPA was great, Hotel room was spacious and very clean
I would of liked to stay there longer

Excellent hotel, in a good location to visit the city.
The room was very spacious and clean. The hotel in general was beautiful and very well kept. The dining are was also very spacious with the breakfast having a wide variety of choice. The spa was also very nice but you really need to get lucky not to go when there are too many people.
The air conditioning in the room whether turned on or off, made a lot of noise, also it didn't work when changing the temperature, we had cold air all night long.

Elegance and cozyness combined
Besides the place being beautiful of course and the room being super nice and cozy, what really stood out was the attention by the staff
The only small thing is the shower kept changing temperatures from warm to cold. But it wasn’t that big of a deal

Luxurious, Comfortable & Convenient Stay
Hotel facilities & location couldn't have been any better. You have Tram line 4 & 6 bang outside the hotel. with travel links to pretty much everywhere in the city including airport. in my personal opinion Spa & Breakfast were bit pricy, but probably appropriate with the quality and star rating of the hotel. Staff were extremely polite, friendly and helpful. the property is so huge, you would probably need a navigation assistance on your first day :). In house café and bar are excellent. There are excellent Breakfast cafes and restaurants nearby which are extremely good quality at very reasonable rate. World's best café, New York café is just 500m down the road (10min walk).
Pillows, I am not very picky about pillows and usually can live with standard hotel pillows. but I was particularly disappointed with the pillows. they can consider providing fluffier pillows, one soft and one medium firm. at least that's what people would expect from 5 star hotel.

Comfort, splendour and outstanding service and hospitality.
A great location for visiting the core sites of Budapest. Lots of bars and restaurants in easy distance so you can really step into Budapest vibe. Amazing breakfasts, awesome decor and building design. We were in an executive room which was very spacious and had excellent facilities. The house-keeping staff were so attentive; in fact all the team at the Corinthia are brilliant. Friendly, helpful and cheerful. Thank you for the gift of bottle of champagne and a cake to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary.
We used the hotel brasserie on the first night. The waiting time for our food was unacceptable especially as there were only 3 other tables with guests. The food itself was faultless when it came.

It was a great stay with amazing experience, staff always nice and with a smile, place stunning! Always bringing fresh new towels, water, made Birthday surprise as well! Best recommendations!
Sadly pool area wasn't heated enough - after sauna/pool/jaccuzi we couldn't stay and chill on beds cause it was a bit cold ..:) also was a bit weird while last day one of staff came to check mini bar (1,5h until our checkout) and other girl called to check ( 1 hour before checkout) to ask if we received robes from yesterdays request.. it seemed like they wanted us to checkout quicker :D

Close to the Opera House and the New York Cafe. Right on a tram line. Very nice spa.

Good value for your money. The SPA is a on the smaller scale but still ok. Rooms are of good size and clean. Location is the major bonus as most of the city attractions are at a walkable distance.

Really enjoyable City Break, staying in a refined and top quality hotel.
Quiet position, but central to access all the places of interest, by various methods of public transport. The facilities were accessible, and we benefited from access to the Executive lounge, and Royal Spa.
Quiet, clean and good accessibility to amenities.

Honestly had a great time staying at Corinthia Budapest. Staff, food, property - all fantastic VFM.
We stayed at Corinthia Budapest for a surprise engagement weekend. The staff were great (genuine, helpful, polite), the property is lovely (very spacious, nice decor, great spa), and the location was perfectly located for a long weekend. We didn't try the evening al la carte menu but the breakfast and room service were both excellent. All round great VFM you won't be dissapointed.
It is on a busy road so you'll occasionally hear sirens late at night, but the hotel is not to blame for that. It seems to be double glazed. I am a light sleeper and it didnt really affect me (but bring ear plugs just in case!)

Great staff, excellent themed restaurant, and a rich breakfast, though the spa wasn't the highlight
The staff is extremely friendly. At the reception, we were greeted by Zozan, who is very professional and pleasant. A big thank you for the gift and the surprise for my birthday. The best impression was the themed restaurant *Uncensored* located within the hotel. The breakfast is rich and diverse, especially for those who enjoy a hearty meal. The spa center was fine, but it wasn’t the highlight of my stay.
