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 location and amazing hotel but the SPA is too busy.
Good location, big space, nice decoration and clean. It has thermal water in the SPA. Massage treatment was worth the money! I wish I could have booked more than one treatment.
SPA access is not included in the booking. This is not too clear before booking. The SPA is open also not to the Hotel guests. The hotel is huge and there are only 15 beds in the SPA. It’s really busy. When we arrived, we were informed that there was no space for treatments until 4 days later. They told us that we should have booked in advance. Unfortunately we were not informed about this.

Central location, close to sites and metro. I recommend and would definitely stay here again. The breakfast was fabulous

Expected a bit more given the price and the star rating
The main lobby areas, etc., are stunningly beautiful. In true Budapest tradition.
The rooms were completely underwhelming. Besides being small just carpets were not particularly new looking and furniture of course very dated…. Basically this is a very dated hotel and it does not deserve a five star rating in my opinion.

We had the best New Year’s Eve felt like we were in a movie, Hungarian gypsy band were brilliant!
Breakfast and cleanliness atmosphere
Too hot in the bedrooms! could not turn the heating down, we had to move to another room with a balcony that was so much better

Excellent location and stay, but could be better.
The location and how helpful the staff were.
The cleanliness for such a highly rated hotel wasn’t up to the expected mark.

Very good
Very nice location and high expectations. Unfortunately, although I have been upgraded, the phone didn’t work, so no Room Service neither Concierge, the coffee machine was Julius M but the capsules were Espresso…Also, please check the hot/cold water in the bathrooms to be certain nobody will have an accident .. All in all a very nice hotel but still a lot of attention should be allocated to details by management. Otherwise, pleased change the management….

We had a lovely time at the Corinthia which helped make our stay in Budapest excellent.
Beautiful hotel in a very convenient location. Staff mere very polite and professional.
Spa was extremely busy when we tried to use it so we only stayed for about 10 minutes.

Nice, clean & luxirious hotel located in a very good location. A little pricey though
Room was big, clean and quiet. The Spa was OKish.... could have a couple of options for Sauna and Jacuzzi. Breakfast was good with really many options
The Spa Day ticket could be included in the price of the room. 380 euro/two nights could also include the SPA pass

A spot of historic luxury in the heart of Budapest!
The hotel is a grand and beautiful Hungarian hotel . Staff were super accommodating and even sent us cake and champagne to celebrate our wedding anniversary- a lovely touch . They changed our room to a different room when we found it too cold on arrival and found us a lovely replacement room Immediately. Spa is fabulous and well worth paying the extra for .

Traveling over the holidays to help an aging relative was exhausting, but this stop in Budapest gave me the boost of com
The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The room was beautiful and comfortable. The breakfast had everything and the wonderful staff was working so hard to make sure everyone was happy.
The phone in the room wasn’t working properly, but the operator forwarded my call.

Fabulous
The property is located very central, easy to get from there wherever you want by foot, by subway, tram station is just in front of the hotel. It has a private parking but you also find parking places on the street. The stuff was amazing, very friendly and the hotel is very elegant, especially at Christmas time.
We booked a room with spa access so that we could relax. We stayed there 2 days and tried everyday to find a free sunbed but we didn’t have any chance. It is unbelievable to have a huge hotel and only 10-14 sunbeds. People blocked them and you didn’t find any free place. We couldn’t use the spa, even if we payed extra for that facility…

Great Christmas stay in Budapest
The hotel is very big and looks like a royal palace! Christmas decorations were lovely. Staff were friendly. Spa was nice, especially the saunas. Breakfast was delightful! Very rich and everything was delicious! All in all we enjoyed our stay very much.
Rooms are ok, spacious. For me the beds were not very comfortable. I wish the swimming pool and jacuzzi were warmer

Amazing 5 star hotel
Location was great, executive suite was amazing, spa was so relaxing and the lounge was definitely the highlight. Food was delicious and varied and unlimited amount of drinks. Staff were very attentive
Shower in room needed re-grouting. It let the room down.

You made us feel special!
The friendly hostess in the executive lounge was outstanding. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and every whim catered for. She is a credit to your organisation. The hotel was beautiful and staff made us feel very welcome. The Christmas atmosphere was magical and we will be recommending your hotel to family and friends in Australia

Beautiful Hotel. Would recommend staying there despite the minor housekeeping issues
Hotel was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The reception staff was thorough and professional. Room was as expected. Centrally located to Metro station.
Only downside was responsiveness to any request. We asked for an extra pillow which required three calls. Asked for wine glasses and 2 forks they never arrived.

High quality!
Everything!Excellent room,breakfast,customer service!Real 5 star!
Christmas decorations!and also the customer service was really helpful with all our needs!

Very comfortable, helpful and courteous.
We really only used our room and the breakfasts during our stay. It was extremely comfortable and the staff we encountered were helpful and courteous. We asked for extra firm pillows and these were delivered promptly and without any fuss. We had no issues at all.
Our visit was pretty straightforward and seamless, so the hotel didn't have to cater particularly for us as we were quite undemanding. We didn't use any special facilities, like the spa, so there was really nothing we could say we didn't like.

Very good
Stunning hotel in a great location.
Dissappointed to be charged 30 euros each for entry to the pool, you would take it as a given that you could go for a swim when you stay in a hotel with a swimming pool.
19 December 2024
Exceptional
Room was great, staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, spa was wonderful, definitely worth using, and absolutely not very expensive (about the same or less than public thermal baths, and less crowded too!)
Need better coffee for breakfast :) Very minor complaint, but the coffee was really not good :/ just go get one literally anywhere else.

Would definitely go back
Very clean and modern
Hard to find the toilets or spa…
