All round the Corinthia Budapest is a great hotel with good prices and excellent service from very friendly employees throughout the hotel. Excellent spar. Relaxed lounge areas.
The bedroom on fifth floor was very nice clean and comfortable. The heating system is set at a high temperature which can become quite uncomfortable in the middle of the night. Loved the Christmas decorations and Christmas Sunday brunch with free flowing beverages.
Very tasty food in the restaurant. The only issues we would highlight is the problem with the hotel being so big that the breakfast restaurant gets very crowded with delayed self service causing the food to become cold by time you sit down. This is also due to many guests leaving the Bain Marie food service warmer lids open as they are rushing to get food. Also the coffee is machines are not good quality or require servicing as the coffee was warm or cold once milk or cream was added. This was the case everyday over 5 days we never got a hot coffee.
Hot food and drinks are very important and this was unfortunately the only let down during our stay.
Hence the reason for a lower review score.
Aside from this I would recommend the hotel.
I have stayed at Danubius chain in Budapest before, Helia which is a spa hotel. This is more of a business location being beside the Puskas Arena and the M2 subway line and the 1 Tram line which gives multiple transit options if not using a hire vehicle or taxi. Breakfast was very decent, service attentive and professional. The room was clean with a few minor issues ie bathtub not draining quickly, furniture showing age (I understand so not an issue) and the facilities very good for my purpose - large gym with all required equipment, smaller pool but still permitted laps and a sauna all of which I used each day. As my last day had me leaving before breakfast, I was provided with a takeaway bag. All much appreciated. Front desk very helpful and kind. I enjoyed my stay very much.
Our group of five arrived at the hotel in the evening and entered the lobby. We felt the unique and warm decoration style of the hotel. The hotel front desk warmly received us. Although the room was not large, the facilities were complete, clean, and tidy. The only downside was that there was no shower room, and the surroundings were quiet, allowing us to enjoy a deep sleep. The breakfast on the second day was diverse and very rich. The restaurant environment was also very good. The staff were well-dressed and elegant. Sitting by the window, the sunlight shone in, and the mood for the day was bright. It is very close to the main attractions in the city. I will continue to choose this hotel when I have the opportunity to visit Budapest again.
Clean room, great breakfast buffet, nice pools. The only downside may be the distance to the center of Budapest but bus stations are close enough. So calculate around 25 minutes. Recommended.
The Dorothea is exceptional - beautiful, clean, and the staff is amongst the best and most professional we’ve encountered in our travels (even with a 1 am arrival!). Our next opportunity to travel to Budapest we’ll only book this hotel; do yourself a favor and do the same!
Большой минус - выезд в 10.00. Парковка бесплатная (хотя в приложении указано платно), закрытая - большой плюс. Больше не хотел бы останавливаться в этом отеле.
