Hotel was right in the city centre. Trains, trams and buses were right outside the door (free travel for over-65s). Loved the ambience of this 1913 period hotel - it exuded a lovely old-world charm, yet wonderfully maintained. The "Classic" accommodation rooms were simpler in decor, but very comfortable. Excellent breakfast, and the adjoining restaurant provided a nice (not huge) menu selection for those dining in. The 6th floor had a dedicated ironing room, a convenient touch.

Not really a criticism, but in our "Classic" room, the plumbing hardware in the bathroom was showing its age. But everything worked fine. Otherwise, everything else was in great condition.

Very nice room, comfortable bed but pillows were too soft and I got a slight neck sprain. Room is big enough with a small balcony, which one can get out with city view. Breakfast was a good spread but would have preferred fresh juices. Made to order omelette was very nice. Good combination of breads. Excellent location. You can’t simply beat this hotel in terms of location. Access to public transportation is excellent since Astoria M is a major stop, shops and restaurants are all around, Danube is 15mts walk away, so is the Christmas market.

Housekeeping didn’t vacuum the room even once in my 5 days stay. The first day they shoved the dirt right below the wardrobe. There is a cobweb in the corner. The single sofa is dirty and unclean. They didn’t even make the bed properly.

The location. Loved the history of the hotel and the fact that many of the original features remain in the public areas despite wartime issues. This means that the reception area appears rather dark on arrival but opens up into the grand restaurant spaces, which we enjoyed very much. The breakfast buffet was excellent and very well serviced by staff. Loved having a relaxed breakfast with so much choice. Good service at dinner though a limited menu. The lifts to the rooms are super efficient. Our classic room was small but well thought out for a comforatable stay. Loved the bath tub. Our room on the 5th floor faced a quiet street.so no noise issues at night except for the emergency vehicle sirens which are inescapable in Budapest.

The seating in the reception area is very uncomfortable and unattractive . Replacement with something comfortable and brighter is well overdue. The carpet in the room was stained.

Breakfast selection was reasonable. More options would have been great. They had nice Gluten Free cakes in the front cafe. Bathroom floor was heated, so was the bathroom. Very nice.

I had to ask for Gluten free bread and it only came in the form of dinner rolls. I got nice rolls first day and 2nd and 3rd day, they were not the same (not as good) i had to complain to get the nice rolls. Also, no fresh fruit juice / no greek yoghurt - only the cheap yoghurt full of sugar. The coffee machines were a bit old and coffee tasted horrible. They could have given me some Gluten Free cakes ( like the ones in the front cafe ). I only got Rolls.

We upgraded to a suite which was very good indeed. In general the hotel had good services and the personnel, especially the 2 young people on the front desk and the maitre d in the restaurant in the evening were excellent. The hotel does need a bit of a face lift however. The room furniture and decorations were rather old fashioned and the wall paper in the passages needed changing. However the decor downstairs, including that of the restaurant, gave the ground floor a great feeling of atmosphere: please don't touch any of that !!!ª The breakfast was good: our only complaint was that for some reason or other the water for the tea and coffee was always lukewarm

That there was no room service available

We liked the location of this hotel given that it is a stop "ASTORIA" of the 100E Airport Shuttle. It is also a Metro Stop right in front of the hotel and easy to get to from anywhere in the city. It is within walking distance to notable touristy areas and realised on our last day that it is also so close to the famous ruin bar, Szimpla Kert. Another plus point is the buffet breakfast! It was delicious with numerous offerings that can cater to all tastes and preferences.

Noticed that the walls are quite thin and you can hear people going about the other rooms, and talking. We had to consciously whisper in our rooms at times especially when we are up so early getting over jet lag. It is not so much as a bother for us but it is worth mentioning in case.

The location is excellent in one of the busiest crossings in Budapest. The Astoria metro station is conveniently located outside the door and close to tram stations. The building itself is full of character. Walking distance to Pier 6 if you are taking a boat trip, and also close on foot to most amenities in the city centre. The room and furniture inside look outdated, but everything was very clean. Breakfast was very good with plenty of options to choose from. TV, WiFi, and A/C are working fine. The bed was comfy, and the shower temperature and pressure were great. The staff was very friendly and helped us with tourist information and booking tours. Overall, a great experience.

Room was a bit smaller than expected or in the photo, we've upgraded from Classic twin room to Superior Double room. It was modernised room and nice, but I think if we've upgraded to Classic Double room instead, it could have been bigger. On booking site, when you look at the photos of Classic twin room, it is misleading, it seems like there is one bigger bed and one is smaller (single), so I thought it would be fine, but in reality there are only two single beds, so I had to upgrade it. We did not have breakfast included, so cannot comment. One thing for sure it is a location of the hotel - it is very one of the best one, a lot of things around.

Wi fi was working bad sometimes, it would just disappear, other than that all was ok.

The room was nice. The bed was comfortable and the duvet was plush and warm. The room had air conditioning that maintained a comfortable room temperature despite the summer heat. The lobby is stunning and has a jewellery shop that sells beautiful silver and gemstone jewelry.

Everything in the breakfast buffet tasted good. That being said the selection is adequate but not much more than that. Refills of empty containers also took longer than expected when I was there, but to be fair they were very busy.

The hotel has a lovely well preserved reception hall with dark wood characterful decor. Staff are friendly and helpful and our room was tidied up smartly each day. The rooms are a very good size which really helped as we were on a long trip around Europe and bringing quite a lot of luggage. There were all facilities needed in the room too. The location is right next to a subway for metro line 2 and also easy walk to most areas of the old centre, including the food market and the river. All was good.

Very little not to like. If we had to find something - the water pressure in the shower was a little low, but didn’t really effect enjoying the hotel.
