5 star hotels in Hungary

We had an amazing stay at The Corinthia. We received a warm welcome on arrival and a room upgrade as we were staying for a week. It was my birthday and Christmas during our trip and the hotel team left treats in our room for both occasions. All the staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. The bar area was a great place to relax after a day of exploring. Aspects of our room were a little tired...

Excellent stay at Corinthia Budapest! Beautiful hotel with elegant rooms, outstanding service, and a truly luxurious atmosphere. The staff were warm and professional, the breakfast was delicious, and the spa was perfect for relaxing. A genuine five-star experience in a fantastic central location. Highly recommended😍

What an absolute amazing hotel. Fantastic location, close to everything Staff were so helpful and friendly. Only down side was the room was so hot and nobody could help to turn heating off

We had a couples massage and spent several hours in the spa afterwards. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional from start to finish. The 90-minute couples massage was absolutely wonderful and deeply relaxing. The spa facilities are beautiful, with a jacuzzi, several saunas and a swimming pool. A calm and peaceful atmosphere that truly feels luxurious. Highly recommended.

Great historical building with very high ceilings in the foyers. Great breakfast buffet. Showers can go hot and cold but tolerable. Location is walkable to Hungarian state opera, high street shopping and good restaurants.

Good hotel in a nice spot - liked how I could walk to many parts of town or take public transit. The spa area is nice but at times not enough beds. Breakfast is superb with so much variety. Rooms were comfy and quiet.

Excellent hotel location, very comfortable stay. The gym was a pleasant surprise.

Kempinski hotels are consistently good, as always. The front desk staff provided enthusiastic service, and there was always plenty of water. My trip through Europe showed me that there are indeed differences between hotels, but overall, this one was excellent! Thumbs up.

Clean, tidy, and a superb location. I recommend it.

Great location, very close to where you can take Danube river cruises, and there's a Christmas market nearby, which creates a festive atmosphere. The staff are friendly and the room is spacious. The only downside is that the price was a bit high when booked for New Year's Eve.

Everything about our stay was wonderful and relaxing. The location is very convenient, and the hotel itself is spotless. The amenities include Diptyque products, and the service was superb. It's definitely a hotel I'd love to stay at again if I have the chance.

I found the hotel and staff exceptional. Well located and easily accessible

Intercontinental hotel was amazing. Service, check in was straight off no waiting. Food in bar was lovely and served till late. Reserve a river View room amazing views of the castle the bridge. If I was being picky bed clothes a bir light we went in February and requested extra blanket. Its a bit expensive but honestly we'll worth it when you see the other hotels around you. We will be back with...

The hotel's location is excellent, within walking distance of the Parliament Building, and very convenient for all major city attractions. The family view room offers beautiful scenery with stunning river views, especially enchanting at night. We will definitely return to this hotel after our trips to Austria and the Czech Republic!

Staying at this hotel made our experience of Budapest even more enjoyable. It's strategically located and the staffs are friendly. Although the hotel is a bit old, it's still very well maintained and clean.

The hotel is a bit old, but its location is excellent. The staff's service was decent, and the breakfast offered a good variety. The view from the window of Buda Castle was absolutely stunning.

Everything was great. I informed them that I was coming to celebrate my anniversary and the hotel gave me a surprise. The location is great and the view is very beautiful.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, but the highlight was definitely the view. From my window, I could see the majestic Buda Castle and the river — a truly stunning sight both during the day and beautifully lit at night. It made my stay feel extra special and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Budapest who wants a mix of comfort and...

Perfect place to stay right in the heart of the city in Budapest. The room was excellent bed was super comfy. We were here for a few days before we boarded our Viking Embla River cruise ship. The Christmas markets surrounded the entire area, we were directly in front of St Stephen’s Basilica picture perfect. This was a birthday/Christmas trip the hotel left the most amazing dessert and champagne in...

Wow I’m honestly super impressed with Al habtoor group, Service here was absolutely fantastic and they made my stay feel extremely welcoming. Every staff member was wonderful since walking in and they made sure that my stay was good, the hotel itself is beautiful, rooms are spacious, and breakfast was amazing. One of my favorite properties in Europe and that says a lot. After living in the UAE for...

Amazing Hotel and amazing Staff to be honest. They are so kind and helpful.. they do their best. Miss Jazmin thank you a lot for your help and support and did her best to make our stay as comfortable as it can be doing everything and following even up next day really means a lot . Highly recommend thanks for ur Emirate touch . Dont forget to ask for the Balaleet when u having breakfast plzzz. The rooms...

We had a lovely stay at Habtoor Palace Budapest- this is our second time in less than a year. The location is excellent, very central and easy to get around the city. The hotel itself is elegant and beautiful, with a real palace feel but still very comfortable. The gym is beautiful well equipped, the pool, sauna and jacuzzi all added value to our stay especially when weather is cold. The staff were...

A very nice hotel in the centre of Budapest. Situated in the old Ritz Carlton, this hotel has been very nicely modernised! Rooms feel big thanks to the very high ceilings and modern decor! Bathrooms are spacious and all dine to a good modern standard. Service is top notch. A welcome drink at check in, staff always saying hi, and there also to ensure you are well catered for. Breakfast is a mix...

I had a great business trip to Budapest in December. The staff (particularly a gentleman named Akos) was amazing and super attentive towards my needs. The room service and location were great as well. The bar was fantastic and the bartender Oliver, was so gentlemanly and kind. I loved it so much. Only recommendation is that the hot tub could be a bit more hot!

Stepping in was a pleasant surprise! Such a beautiful hotel and a gorgeous room, with the enchanting Danube at night right outside the window. Truly lives up to the Marriott name – I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Budapest.

Location very nice, river view, Staff very warmful with great services. Buffet Breakfast very nice too, just need earlier wake up, otherwise long Q in line. Room very good with perfect view

Nice hotel at the Marriott Budapest that is located in city centre, good offerings and amenities in general - even offers the near Christmas markets directions

A clean and nicely located hotel with excellent river view. The rooms spacious, regrettably without a bath tub.

Before my trip, I spent ages looking for accommodation in Budapest, constantly debating whether to stay in Buda or Pest. I finally decided on the Marriott in the Pest district, and it truly was the perfect choice! ✔️✔️✔️ 🤩 Most of the main tourist attractions are in the Pest area. From the Marriott, it's super close to St. Stephen's Basilica, the Parliament Building, Liberty Bridge, and the Central...

The hotel boasts a prime location on the Pest side of the Danube, offering stunning views of Buda Castle and the river. Most major attractions are just a 1-2 km walk away, or a quick taxi ride. The hotel breakfast was also great, and the doormen provided excellent service. While the riverfront is vibrant with music and many bars, the hotel's soundproof windows effectively block out any noise, so you...

An unforgettable stay in one of the most beautiful hotels in Europe. My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Four Seasons Gresham Palace in Budapest, and the experience was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the grandeur of the building and the elegance of the Art Nouveau architecture. The hotel perfectly combines historical charm with modern luxury....

We had an amazing time at the 4 Seasons in Budapest. Hotel very good - it was busy due to Christmas, but still quiet and always available for residents. Spa was excellent and we were the only people in the pool which was lovely and relaxing. In terms of location - perfect for site-seeing of Buda and Pest. Looking onto the river and near all transporation. Christmas markets interesting and safe...

We had an incredible stay at this hotel. Anastasia at the front desk was particularly welcoming, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our conversations with her and her insights. While this is clearly a luxury hotel, what really stood out was the genuine hospitality from every member of the staff. You can tell they are proud to work here and they sincerely want to take care of you — it’s not an act, like...

Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest is an absolutely wonderful place to stay and truly lives up to its reputation. From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by beauty, elegance, and a feeling of genuine warmth that makes you feel instantly welcome. The building itself is stunning — a beautifully restored Art Nouveau palace — and the location couldn’t be better, right by the Chain Bridge...

If you don’t stay enough once, you will continue next time.

The rooms booked by Ctrip are always in the worst locations, and the hotel will not change this status even if there are many vacancies. What's more terrible is that for the same price, you can get a good location through ***********. I don't understand. This time, two different rooms, with the same price, were booked through different companies, and the result was like this. Ctrip should think: why

We had a beautiful stay at this hotel. The room was very spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. The service and facilities exceeded our expectations—excellent value for money. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The reservation process was smooth and flexible, and check-in was quick and informative. We especially enjoyed exploring the hotel building...

The room I was given was on the very top floor of the second floor, which was too low. There was no "No Smoking" sign outside the door, while most other rooms had them, so I naturally assumed it wasn't a non-smoking room. I asked the front desk to change it, but they said this was a non-smoking room… Everything else was fine. The hotel's hot spring pool was fantastic! You must soak in it! I also really...

A wonderful vacation! The hotel's forest greenery was beautiful, the environment was lovely, and there was a lively band performance by the pool every day, adding to the ambiance. It's not far from the town, and I would definitely stay here again if I have the chance to go back! ( ˘ ³˘) ❤

The location of the hotel is very inaccessible by public transport, car rental is recommended. The best part of the hotel in my opinion is the spa facilities and the amazing view The jacuzzi is good with strong pressure and the thermal pools are good Lack of drinking points and cold water in the lobby and lack of clocks on the walls in the lobby areas and while waiting for the massage The view of the...

Lovable place with great personnel and awesome kitchen. I can't complain. 3rd time there, still perfectly satisfied. 5/5

We had an excellent stay in this charming hotel! It’a a very beautiful building, an old palace with a lot of history, with the most wonderful breakfast room and the most complete breakfast we ever had! Very friendly staff at the reception and breakfast and very beautiful rooms with all the amenities to make you feel comfortable. We recommend it to everyone visiting Budapest!

Convenient location with good service

The hotel was just incredible!

This hotel is close to restaurants and other attractions. We stayed in the Sissi Suite. One of the very best rooms we have ever stayed in. The photos don’t convey the attention to detail. Amazing location for breakfast.

Fabulous hotel. Superb rooms beautiful decor. Loved it.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful hotel with excellent service, great location and good breakfast. We will definitely stay again when we come back to Budapest one day!

The Greenfield Hotel Golf & Spa is a nice hotel located in a very quiet and peaceful area, which makes it good for relaxing. The rooms are pleasant and comfortable, and overall the hotel has a good atmosphere. The food is also good, typical of a hotel buffet, with a reasonable variety. The restaurant staff were friendly, and the housekeeping staff were also polite and helpful. However, there are a...

Clean room, tasty foods, wellness is fantastik i offer this hotel for everybody staff is nice spacious places good value for money

Golf and relaxation, pleasure and leisure. Well-maintained and beautyfull golf course, modern hotel. The cuisine is impeccable, the selection is adequate. On the golfcourse the greens could be harder, faster, the bunkers softer, but it's still above average.

Excellent place, nice people and very stylish hotel. Love it

Me and my bff had really good time at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, both the breakfast and dinner were tasty. The hotel's surrounding is beautiful, and well-maintained. There was always available parking spot in front of the hotel. The staff was kind to us. The wellness area was perfect. We are definitely coming back.

Newly renovated hotel with many entertainment options. They also thought about how you can spend your time in case of bad weather (spa, sauna, bowling, inside golf, ect…) The hotel is child-friendly, but there are quiet zones ..

The hotel is worth all 5 stars. The service is excellent, it really feels luxurious. Whatever i wished they acted on it immediately. Amazing food, amazing staff, and the wellness spa is also nice. Not too big though, so when the hotel is full it does feel crowded. But for this price, we will keep coming back... Side note, the sensors in the garage are not 5 star... we hardly could get out, you have...

Love thos hotel in the quiet town of Debrecen. The staff were helpful. The room we booked was a family suite, very reasonably priced. 2 rooms, a sleeping area, and living room type area. Two balconies as well. Breakfast was buffet. Lots of great options.

Being in this bar, after a long journey in the work is like an oasis where you can relax yourself thank to the nice and familiar atmosphere which this special place has to offer. Mainly because of the personnel, who with the most finest treatment, respect and friendship is handling you. Every time while I am on a business trip here in the city, being with this incredible personnel is like coming home...

We stayed here with our kids, and it was a great choice. The location is perfect — right next to Nagyerdő Park and just a 5-minute walk from Aquaticum. The staff were friendly and helpful the whole time. Our room was clean, big, and very comfortable. The kids really enjoyed the playroom, and they loved the little sightseeing train that leaves from the hotel. Breakfast was tasty with lots of fresh...

Excennt location, beautiful view near Nagyerdő. Great facilities, amazing breakfast room, massage room, rooms A1.

The hotel is like a resort, insanely comfortable. The staff has been amazing. The bartenders (Zsolt and Zoltan) have blown out minds. Better craft cocktails than we get back home, at less than half the price, and a smile on their face the whole time. I would happily stay here any time in in Debrecen.

Great hotel with an excellent location. The rooms are beautifully designed, modern, and very comfortable. The atmosphere is stylish and relaxing, and everything feels well thought out. Overall, a lovely stay with both convenience and aesthetic appeal.

Overall, I was extremely satisfied. The location is excellent, just about a 10-minute walk from Budapest-Nyugati station, which is convenient for those arriving by direct train from Vienna or Slovakia. However, it might feel a bit far if you're lugging a suitcase, and the surroundings can be a little dark at night. There's a bus stop nearby though, so you might be able to avoid walking much if you...

Beautiful beautiful hotel. Great service from all staff encountered. Location convenient. Super comfy bed.

The idea of staying in a castle monastery is appealing, especially if you prefer a quieter side of Budapest. The room was pleasant, but not overly luxurious. The breakfast was simple, and the music was too loud when I woke up. The location wasn’t convenient for me, and the monastery experience didn’t live up to my expectations. I stayed on the other side of Pest and had a much better time.

Very good service also they offer a valet parming which is very useful because difficult to find a parking. Staff are very friendly also and food is amazing! They have excellent rooms.

This hotel is very classic classy and clean. I love the haircare and bodycare range - by Rituals. I love the Spa too, good for relaxation after a whole day out. Will strongly recommend to family & friends.

Buffet is good with nice service & staff

Very good service, super big and comfortable room. Can skip the Q outside New York Cafe. I had an enjoyable breakfast with 130years old building to ending my Budapest journey.

Very kind and clean hotel. Rooms getting slightly outdated and tired. Would highly recommend when in busapest

The restaurant features a luxurious Baroque style, with dazzling crystal chandeliers, exquisite murals, and a resplendent gilded dome. Every detail reflects the opulence of the 19th century. Especially, the new york café is the most beautiful café all over the world. In room facilities are kind of old. Strongly recommended.

The Antantara Hotel is Gorgeous!!The lobby is beautiful and a lovely place to relax. Our room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast delicious and NY Cafe delish especially the pistachio raspberry tart. We had reservations at the other restaurant in the hotel and had some kind if mix up with our orders…1 1/2 hours to get our food. Mark stepped in for our waiter and was so kind and friendly it made the...

One of the best hotel experiences we’ve had anywhere in the world. Perfect location in Budapest, huge rooms and bathrooms (it’s worth the upgrade for the city room with balcony), and excellent cafe / restaurant options. The lobby and spa are stunning. I loved that this hotel was walkable to all the best neighborhoods / nightlife in Pest. It’s also ideal for families given all the amenities and food...

What we really liked was the playhouse and the water world. In the cool area, there is a waterslide complex just for kids. The water is pleasantly heated, and the jacuzzi is warm. The entire hotel is modern and newly built, and the rooms are practically furnished with a bathtub, microwave, and Nespresso coffee machine. The animation staff (young female animators) do their best to entertain the children...

The hotel is clean and well-maintained, and the cleanliness and staff deserve the highest praise. The facilities for children are excellent — the large playroom is spacious, tidy, and spotless. The water in the pools is warm, and the pool hygiene is at a very high level. It would be nice if the pool were a bit larger, but everything is kept in good order. The only real drawback is that the pool is...

The hotel is quite nice but definitely not 5* hotel. We have a junior suite with a view. Room is nice but there is no dishes and they did not changed our dirt sheet in three days, they took our small towels, but did not give new. The treasure hunt for Halloween was disaster, not enough sweets and kids were so disappointed. Should be improved.

Great location, right next to Lake Balaton, parking outside the hotel and in the garage. 1. Spacious, clean rooms, daily housekeeping, minibar refilling, staff re-checking the room before the evening to make the night comfortable. 2. Excellent childcare, children's corner with lots of activities during the day, playroom, child-friendly toilets, safety features, dinner menus, family park with lots...

The best family-friendly hotel we’ve been to. We didn’t want to leave. Simply amazing!

Amazing Stay at Mövenpick Balaton overall it was an excellent experience – a great family hotel, very clean, well-maintained, with a fun atmosphere and good service. The only downside was the pricing of extras – lunch at the restaurant, drinks at the pool, in the room, and in the restaurants were extremely overpriced, which feels unreasonable. Since it’s clearly a kids’ hotel, of course parents will...

The service was good, the lobby was beautiful, the restaurant food was also good, the rooms were spacious, and the location was convenient.

First of all, you get the apartment at four and leave at ten in the morning, and I discovered this fact the night before when I received the complicated instructions for entering the apartment. On the day of departure at 10:10, a scary woman was waiting at the door. Communication with the host was very unpleasant and took a long time to respond.

I love the hotel which is big and nice and staff are very friendly!

The room is OK. The location is very convenient. The service is good. Just remember to book a table in advance when eating.

Before I went there, I asked a few friends. They all recommended the Hilton in Fisherman's Bastion. But after doing some research, I felt that the facilities were old and it seemed that I could only take photos. I had a purpose for this trip, which was to experience the glory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. So I wanted to stay in the castle and finally decided on Hyatt's Choice, which is as famous...

The hotel is in a great location, very beautiful and the service is very thoughtful

The location of the hotel is perfect: next to the shopping district and the famous St Stephen church. The staffs were really friendly and welcoming, and never was there once a bad service. The hotel has a fantastic bar on the top of the hotel, High Note which has a wonderful ambience. The only downer for me was the lack of kettle in the room and the compact gym with minimal equipments. Oh yes! The...

I stayed in a deluxe king room on the 6th floor. It had a balcony, and overall the experience was very good. Breakfast was served hot, so it had to be cooked to order; other meals were buffet style. The environment was nice, the location was good, and it was convenient for getting around.

Very nice hotel in Budapest. Excellent cafe Liszt and Kindly managers 😄

This is probably the best hotel I stayed in during my three-week trip to Europe. The environment, breakfast and location are all good. There is a great view restaurant on the top floor, but reservations are required in advance.

Good location, next to the cathedral, with a SKY BAR to view the top of the cathedral. But the price/performance ratio is poor. It's a small hotel with a small facade and no obvious signs. It took me a long time to find it.

This Aria in Budapest has been in my mind for many years. It is in a very good location in the city center. You can reach many attractions on foot. The hotel has its own style, elegant environment and good service. It is worth staying.

Room was perfectly clean and well furnished. Our room had a balcony which had 2 sets of doors which kept any noise or cold out at all. House keeping is excellent and the staff very happy to help. The rooms are exactly as you see in pictures. A little darker than other hotels but it sets the scene and is easy forgotton about. 24 hour reception/concierge is helpful. They speak excellent English. The...

Great hotel, it was beautiful however I feel hotel had some very beautiful and non practical designs. For example in the bathroom, they have a very nice rain shower but the design was in a way that whole bathroom floor was like a puddle after a shower. Also one day we asked for an iron and the next day we came to our room and iron was taken away without telling us. That being said, staff were extremely...

Lovely hotel, first class service, nothing too much trouble for the staff there. Great food in the restaurant and good bar on the first floor.

Very nice hotel in the middle of the city! Everything was just a short walk away! The service was excellent and our room was perfect.

Very nice hotel with a superb location. The rooms are clean and cosy, the decor is spot on and the overall Asian theme spreads through the hotel. The breakfast selection is adequate and the food is delicious. The restaurant prices are in line with the overall venue pricing. If I had to complain about something, it would be the opening hours of the spa. 1 PM to 9 PM is a bit limiting it you want to...

Amazing hotel, awesome service and 2 great restaurants. Had a room with balcony and bathtub. Coffee machine and a phone on every room for use outside the hotel with tips, great concept. Didn’t had the breakfast (pp 25€) but the restaurants were both awesome. Very good spot for sightseeing and shopping.

I was impressed by the staff; they were all very friendly and helpful, with a special shout-out to the front desk team. The hotel's design is also a huge plus. My only note is that the standard rooms are on the smaller side, which might be an issue for extended stays.

Clean rooms, great location, and what really sealed the deal was the hotel's exclusive complimentary wine and chocolates. I'll definitely return!

This beautifully designed hotel directly overlooks the Chain Bridge and is incredibly close to Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion. The views are stunning, and it offers a peaceful escape from the city's hustle and bustle. A wonderful touch was the complimentary wine and chocolates we received upon check-in!

Excellent location. Bus stop next to the hotel. The staff are very nice and helpful.

Fantastic from start to finish, superb room, great location, great food and wine.

Overally it was good. The view and location was the best .. the breakfast doesn’t worth it. My room was too small. It gives you the vibe of a 4 star hotel than a 5star one.

Location is excellent, neighbourhood is safe and upscale, all of the staff are friendly and professional and very welcoming. The rooms are large with high ceilings, big tv, big bathrooms. The thing about this hotel is the crazy decor, looks like Euro Barbie’s Hotel, crazy silver chairs and couches in the lobby, red and white bedrooms. If they changed the decor/furnishings to contemporary with neutral...

My wife and I were in Budapest for a quick 36 hours and the Iberostar was out of this world! The staff was very helpful when we arrived around 10am. They greeted us with water (or sparking wine) and stored our bags for us until we could check in. The rooms view was amazing and the room itself was stunning. The rain shower and deep soak tub were exactly what we needed after a long few days of travel...

Great stay. The staff were very helpful and warm. Really liked Balentine and Norbert - they really went out of their way to discover what we liked and then made suggestions. The hotel location was great - there was a festival going on outside, but we only really heard it when we opened our windows. Lots of sidewalk cafes and pubs right outside the hotel. Our room was updated and the bathroom was...

Wonderful and gracious staff. Very professional. Beautiful rooms. The breakfasts were just perfect, not continental but, full. Food was delicious. As a mixed couple, we were received well and treated well. This hasn't always been the case in our European travels.

A beautiful boutique hotel close to everything Fanrastic helpful staff clean large rooms a restaurant bar and spa available at the hotel .We will definately be staying here again when in Budapest and we highly reccommend it. This hotel us a non smoking hotel.

Beautiful hotel, very friendly personal, lovely rooms! The only thing I did not like so much was the scent in which they immerse the complete hotel.

Great hotel and staff were amazing. Would recommend. 

We had an amazing time staying at Kozmo, they had fantastic service, room in really good condition, definitely would recommend it.

This is the best hotel! Absolutely everything about it is perfect!!! From the staff to the room!!! Superb!

The best hotel ever - beautiful, clean, quiet, good service .

Loved it - very comfortable. The terrace was lovely. Had a great time.

The hotel environment is great, and the staff are very welcoming. I'll definitely be back!

Room was spacious and spotless. Very beautiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent location and a highly recommend.

Rooms were great, staff, amenities. I would have liked for the thermal baths open longer.

We spent two nights at Queen’s Court Hotel and were genuinely impressed from the moment we arrived. We booked the King-size Suite, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The suite was very large, tastefully decorated, impeccably clean, and came with a balcony and a small kitchen, which made the stay even more comfortable. The furnishings and overall design created a very elegant and cozy atmosphere...

Staff were super friendly , hotel location is great really nice and room is exactly as photos show

Staff are extremely helpful and ready to help with anything. Really clean and great location. Just to mention a few… I’ll come again

We originally planned to stay here for one night but changed it to two nights because of how much we loved it. The staff exceeded all expectations, if I could I’d give more than five stars for how wonderful they made our stay. Our room was the king suite, which was spacious and had its own kitchen. It was clean and the bed very comfy. We also spent a few hours in the spa, both pools had perfect...
