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.”

Good stay but ruined by no heating
Very clean, very good staff willing to help and very close to many amenities. Very good food
On arrival it very cold which needed heating. Staff advised that the heating will only be switch on later in winter but this was winter. I felt really cold to the extend of catching a cold which ruined my holiday. Staff provided additional blankets and the heating was only switched on after 3 days into the holiday. Area that needs improvements

A great weekend !
We had a wonderful time : The concierge was very helpful . We had the pleasure and surprise to find a cake and drinks in the room with a birthday card . The spa is nice and great. Location was very convenient.
Some clients abandon their robes and towels in the spa .

The room are very large and confer. The stuff we meet was very nice, the breakfast was good.

Right place to stay to explore downtown Budapest attractions
Very clean and comfortable rooms. Rich breakfast with great variety of food, Hungarian and Mediterranean specialities. Kind and attentive waiters. The hotel itself looks like a real palace and visitors take great pictures on the main staircase.
Parking is a challenge to find. Its on the backstreet, not in the main building. And 23-25 Euro/night depending on exchange rate is a bit too much

A Grand Stay In The Heart Of The City
The Corinthia Budapest is a stunning blend of historic elegance and modern luxury, housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century building. From the moment you enter its grand marble lobby and sweeping staircase, the hotel exudes sophistication. Rooms are spacious, soundproofed, and well-appointed with plush furnishings, marble bathrooms, and modern amenities.

Luxurious stay at the Corinthia
The Corinthia was even better than expected. It is a very large hotel but in spite of this all the staff were charming and extremely helpful. The lobby looks stunning. My room was big and the bed very comfortable. Great bathrobes . The breakfast was fantastic. I have never seen so much choice. There was even a chef making you fresh omelettes.
Beware that it is about 2 km from the river.

Great short stay visiting both Buda and Pest, we purchased the on off bus ticket to get our bearings
The Hotel was in an excellent location, close to restaurants and within walking distance to most attractions within Pest. We enjoyed one evening eating in the hotel whilst being entertained by local musicians; the violinist was excellent and we would recommend this.
Generally, there are no issues of any great concern. There was one person in the Spa reception who didn't have a pleasant disposition when we asked for towels to take to the main Spa in the town; her attitude was unnecessary

Beautiful, historic hotel property in the heart of Budapest.
Absolutely outstanding property. The staff went above and beyond from start to finish. The location is central to everything, walkable except to upper Buda. Nothing of interest is more than a 25-30 minute walk in all directions.
Nothing.

Go hotel to stay at in Budapest
We’ve stayed at Corinthia Budapest before, and it remains one of our favorite hotels in the city. The spa is absolutely incredible such a treat whether you’re visiting in winter or summer. The rooms are always comfortable, with excellent air conditioning during the warmer months and cozy heating in winter, which makes it a great year-round choice. The Sunday brunch is lots of fun, and the location is ideal, close to many excellent restaurants and within easy reach of everything you’d want to see. A truly amazing hotel that we love returning to.

Absolutely perfect holiday, could not be better!!
Everything exceeded our expectations! The hotel staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay special. I had requested a bottle of champagne for my partner’s birthday, and not only did they have it ready upon our arrival, but they also surprised us with a sweet treat that made him very happy. Such thoughtful touches made our experience unforgettable! The room was very nice, everything was clean and polished, spa, breakfast, drinks at the bar, everything was without a doubt excellent!

It was a really enjoyable and pleasant stay. I would certainly return
It was a lovely hotel with very comfortable room. I loved having bath as well as a shower. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice.
Disappointed that the bed was very hard. The hotel provided a mattress topper but although it was promised in the morning it was not in place in the evening and we had to request it a second time. We were made to feel uncomfortable on arrival and when we were leaving. We had paid in advance through Booking .com and we were asked to pay again when we arrived. I understand that mistakes do happen but on check out we were again asked to pay for our stay. The excuse was that the system had not been updated. However, surely this should have been done when the first misunderstanding occurred.

Very good stay
I loved the hotel, it is beautiful. The breakfast was excellent. The staff was excellent, the location was excellent. The room was spacious.
I didn't like the fact that entering the spa, even without treatments, only brought additional mud for hotel guests. I got a nice room on the top floor - after an upgrade. In the shower and sink, the cold water flow would stop several times while showering - which caused frequent changes in the water temperature while showering. Additionally, the safe in the room is outdated and not secure.

Spacious room, elegant hotel. Amazing champagne breakfast. Staff were very attentive. Spa is lovely and clean. Just a beautiful hotel really! Make up mirrors and mirrors above the desk and wardrobes which so many hotels seem to lack now!
The location for us was a little bit too far from the attractions we wanted to see but we just got a taxi back if we were knackered walking. Also, there are trams if you can be bothered working out the ones to get. The pillows were terrible. We should've asked for different ones but we kept forgetting until it was late at night! The Spa treatments were far too expensive in comparison to other spas we have been to.
