    Simply the best boutique hotel in Budapest. There is no question why the Aria Hotel received its prestigious title for. The rooms are well-equipped, and the panorama is just stunningly beautiful. Location is 10/10, the best. The staff is expert, kind and helpful. Everyone is just so friendly and easy-going! Thank you for the experience.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this musical-themed hotel in Budapest, and I must say that my experience was truly remarkable. From the moment I stepped foot into the hotel, I was captivated by its unique charm and artistic ambiance. Without a doubt, this hotel is a gem that should not be missed if you're visiting Budapest. Its prime location, just a short walk from the city center, made it incredibly convenient for exploring the city's attractions. Whether it was visiting historical landmarks or enjoying the vibrant nightlife, everything was within easy reach. Every room in this hotel is a work of art in itself. The musical theme is beautifully incorporated into the decor. Each room is distinct and offers a different musical motif, which adds an element of surprise and excitement. From classical to jazz, every musical taste is catered for in this artistic haven. The rooms are not only visually stunning but also exceptionally comfortable. The attention to detail in providing a cozy and relaxing environment is evident. I felt like I was enveloped in luxury throughout my stay. The hotel's spa facilities were truly exceptional. After a long day of exploring, I indulged in a rejuvenating spa treatment that left me feeling pampered and refreshed. Breakfast: The breakfast spread at this hotel was simply divine. The quality of the food was outstanding, and the attentive staff made sure that every guest's needs were met. In conclusion, my experience at this musical-themed hotel in Budapest was nothing short of amazing. The attention to detail, the comfortable accommodations, the enchanting musical garden, the luxurious spa, and the delectable breakfast all contributed to an unforgettable stay. If you're visiting Budapest, I highly recommend immersing yourself in the unique experience that this hotel offers. It's a true haven for music lovers and those seeking a remarkable stay in the heart of the city.

    I rarely give reviews for any business unless I have the absolute worse experience. I have to say the hospitality and customer service of this hotel has been the greatest I have ever experienced. I travel the world for work and stay in hotels all around the globe and none of them can match the professionalism of the staff here. Every single staff member I encountered has been very polite, welcoming, and helpful. I been here for 4 days now and will be here until early next month. I have stayed in fancy hotels where the staff were rude and non-concerned but here, you don't get any better than this. The chef (Jason) has been preparing the best continental breakfast every morning and the rest of the staff has tackled every concern I had expeditiously. I hope management know that they have a strong team. Keep up the good work guys. Lamar Staples room 501

    The view from the terrace over basilica is amazing. And what about the lobby? Pure luxury!

    Absolutely excellent experience here. Right in the middle of the Pest side of the city, Aria provided an amazing place for us to visit the city on foot, trolley, and bike. We were here during the Christmas Markets, and we would walk out of the hotel into the markets in a matter of seconds. The staff were excellent the entire stay, helping us with reservations, where we should go and when, and anything else we needed during the stay. Breakfast was quite nice, with a good buffet + order menu. Wine and cheese went from 4-6 each day, and had live music on the piano. The rooms were clean and spacious, with very nice touches of Budapest designs. We also visited the spa, which was extremely relaxing, professional, and had a great pool + sauna. We loved our stay, would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay right in the heart of Pest!

    Excellent hotel! Kind, patient and attentive staff. Always ready to help. Varied and rich breakfast. A spacious, large and perfectly designed room. The spa is clean. There is a perfect gym. The hotel is central close to the basilica. Highly recommended.

    The Aria Budapest is one of the finest hotels in the World. The staff are exceptionally helpful and polite. The rooms are excellent spacious and done to a very high standard. The whole hotel is very clean, well positioned and honestly i can not think of any negative points.

    This review isn’t for the hotel. I haven’t stayed there. It is for the restaurant. The prices are insane for the portion sizes and the staff wasn’t that great. Would recommend Es Bistro that’s just around the corner in the hotel intercontinental.

    The hotel and experience was excellent overall. Spent a few nights here, loved the wellness and spa, the facilities were excellent and clean, the staff was fantastic and polite (thanks for the recommendation for the Rudas thermal baths!) and breakfast was top notch (and to those posting 1 star reviews about breakfast being small - it is made to order, learn to read!) . Highly recommended, definitely coming back if we visit Budapest again.

    A truly outstanding, amazing, wonderful hotel. From the staff to the public spaces, rooms, the spa and pool and everything else in between, no detail is left unattended. We arrived after a bit of stress due to unannounced street closures around downtown. Once the lady at check-in realized this, she immediately dispatched a colleague to tend to our children, get them drinks and mocktails and make them feel comfortable and at home. The rooms are fantastic - large and spacious, beautifully designed and conceived with any amenities you might want. Some have great balconies facing an open courtyard. Breakfast (which is included) is very good and the complimentary afternoon happy hour featuring musical performances several times a week and great. The spa and pool are definitely worth a stop. Impeccably clean and gorgeously designed. The owners and managers really care about this place and it shows across the board. I cannot speak highly enough about this hotel and I will not look forward to trying some of their other properties.

    We stayed at the Hotel Aria as part of our silver wedding anniversay celebration. The hotel is amazing, the staff could not have been more helpful, music themed rooms, rooftop bar, entertainment in the afternoon with cheese and wine. The spa is worth a visit too. We will definitely be returning if we go back to Budapest. Thank to you all the staff of the Hotel Aria for all you did for us.

    The Aria is one of all around best hotels we have stayed in! The people and service are outstanding and rooms are so comfortable. We will be back!

    After a rocky start (driver miscommunication, wrong room assignment, charged incorrectly for the room) the hotel immediately remedied everything and made our stay excellent. We stayed in the hotel for 4 nights and 5 days and everything was excellent. The food, service and hospitality was some of the best I've encountered anywhere in the world. The location is right next to the Basilica and in the middle of downtown Budapest. Surrounded by excellent restaurants, coffee shops, and regular shops, you can easily occupy 2 full days without walking more than a block away. Lastly, my now wife and I had our wedding at their rooftop bar and things could not have been better. Anyone who has been married knows how important it is for the big day to go smoothly, and the Aria made that happen. I would 100% recommend staying at the Aria to anyone traveling to Budapest.

    Really excellent experience here. Travelled with my sister for 4 nights in June and we got the “Dreams of Love” special which meant one night was free and we had a 2 for 1 special for treatments at the Harmony Day spa each day of our stay. There is a lovely pool and sauna downstairs. Every afternoon there is a cheese and wine session. Breakfast was great and you order dishes from the kitchen - like pancakes, eggs Royale, porridge as well as a buffet selection. The rooftop bar has stunning views, there are external corridors typical of Hungarian style and a glass rooftop over the atrium. Staff were so friendly - particularly Balázs (hopefully spelt correctly). Fantastic, large room. Chocolates delivered every afternoon to your room. They organised a great personal trainer to come in to do a session. It was excellently located. The only faults were a slight mix up with our billing at the end with a new staff member and the decor which I found a bit glitzy / tacky. Even though this was a high end hotel, it felt like great value. Would recommend and would stay again.

    Great hotel, I stayed 3 nights room number 209. Room is beautiful, staff are very friendly, housekeeping doing a great job during the day. The Sky Bar has nice view, however I noticed at some corners the view is blocked by plants/ bushes and material under canvas. There are higher platforms to see and enjoy the view. The night shift security is really for the guest and safety , “ thank you of your concerns” I do recommend this hotel as it’s central location is easy to explore this beautiful city.

    We were staying for three night in outstanding room while the service was friendly and pay attention for the small details. The breakfast contains great cheese, fresh vegetables and lots of specialty. As for the location, super convenient and close for all the attractions. Highly recommend

    An oasis right next to the City Centre. Beautiful rooms and wonderful staff. Sky bar is a must with very creative cocktails

  • 5/5 David L. 9 months ago on Google
    No hesitation in a 5 star review. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff all of whom couldn't do enough for us. A very serene atmosphere. Immaculate all round. I could write a thousand words but you get the gist.

  • 5/5 Rick P. 6 months ago on Google
    Top class 5⭐ hotel. Friendly and professional staff. Excellent service, some nice touches plus a brilliant location. It can be a little difficult to book the High note sky bar if you want to be inside, or out, at a specific time. Great views and a cool vibe though.

    I believe Aria Hotel Budapest is THE best hotel in town. It is not cheap but it’s well worth it. Perfect location, fantastic staff, amazing view from the Sky Bar, outstanding rooms, delicious breakfast, super spa and pool….I could go on and on! Try it, experience it , guaranteed you won’t be disappointed 😘

  • 5/5 Eliot k. 1 year ago on Google
    This is THE place to stay in Budapest. Perfect location but more important than that, the staff are friendly, helpful, knowledgeably perfect and patient. The bed also is the most comfortable I have ever slept in and I have slept in many during the 25 counties I have visited and 49 of the 50 states in America. I can't say enough good things about the Aria Hotel. I have stayed here and you should also.

  • 5/5 Magda T. 2 years ago on Google
    This is obvious why this hotel was named one dy as the best one in the world. Rooms are super fancy and have a lot of great great features like tablets with guides etc. Wine break in the afternoon with the live piano concert is lovely. Definitely the best option to stay in Budapest!

  • 5/5 Brigitta U. 2 years ago on Google
    The best Hotel in Budapest! I can only recommend 🥰 such a beautiful place with highly professional staff.

  • 5/5 Kach H. 3 years ago on Google
    We stayed in The Beatles – inspired room and how I wished we can stay longer. Like what I felt in other Aria hotels, our stay was so amazing. From a range of 1 – 10, I’d give this a 10.5! The beds are extremely comfortable. In fact, it was hard for me to get up! And their rooms – definitely spacious. Let’s not forget the bathroom where I could spend hours taking a shower

  • 5/5 Ron D. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly staff. Absolutely 5 star in all sense

  • 5/5 Anna H. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Fanni M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience at the day spa, wonderful 60 minute massage and the nicest staff. Definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Da C. 1 year ago on Google
    A true undiscovered pearl! Rooms are made more private by automatic rolladin (metal shades that cover the windows better than curtains). A wine and cheese reception from 4-6PM with local talent. Don't miss the only terrace dining/bar area in all of downtown with a premier view of St. Stephens. Kitchen staff are well-skilled; front desk were extremely friendly.

  • 5/5 Cera W. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Staff were amazing very attentive, I lost my luggage & they sorted me out with essentials. I travelled with two young kids & the hotel were very accommodating. The design in the hotel is stunning, rooftop is worth a visit

    1,my trip was spoiled at the last day by stolen money from my bag.I had 1500 Singaporean dollar with me prepared for my next trip in the hidden pocket of my travel bag,I left it there and was not checking on it ,when I started packing I noticed that much less notes left ,when I open and counted i,1000 was missing ,very smart not to talk the whole amount so I will not notice at once,I did not spend it or use for obvious reason,it is not euro ,it was there all the time .I approached the security and all that they investigated is questioning 4 maids that entered the room during my stay and as they said ,they are working there for at least few years ,they are very trustworthy so it is my fault .Obviously it is partially cause I had to put it in the safe box as I did with euros/jewelry /cards but I would never expect them to search my bag intentionally! That is not what u expect in this level of hotels !i guess I am supposed to hide my brand bags and clothes as well if this is a case !spoiled mood at the end of the trip ,so be super cautious if you are staying at this property !

    The staff is great and the rooms and public space is unbelievable. The roof top bar - is a bar! Great views! Highly recommend hotel.

  • 4/5 Kirill K. 1 year ago on Google
    Always bad service at the roof top terrace. Girl downstairs is arrogant and makes a "we don't have a table" face though interior is great and the view is amazing

  • 5/5 DRV W. 2 years ago on Google
    Our favorite hotel in the world. No joke. Such an elegant place with such class and fantastic service from all the staff. We love everything about this hotel. From the high note bar on the roof which we have a drink at every night, to breakfast which blows away any other hotels breakfast that is included in your stay. The rooms also have there own inspired theme an genre of music and musicians. The spa is also very nice with thermal spas, steam rooms and saunas and jetted jacuzzi. We have stayed here twice and any time we're in Budapest again it's our go to hotel no doubt about it.

  • 5/5 RR K. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding views from Sky Bar and dinner there is also terrific. Room are themed for contemporary, jazz, classical and opera artists. Fun place, well located and smaller, which we prefer. Live music, wine and cheese served in the afternoon to guests. Lobby is gorgeous.

  • 5/5 Harvey C. 1 year ago on Google
    Location Location Location, this hotel is ideally located in the heart of the city, all the tourist attractions are within walking distance, we visited Buda Castle, Parliament buildings, Grand market and best of all basilica church which just happens to be next door to the hotel. We highly recommend this hotel, the staff we all very polite. And the sky lounge was stunning with a further two viewing platforms to see the city.
