“Just wonderful”
Reviewed 2 weeks ago

The Aria is an amazing hotel. The rooftop has no parallel, and the staff, location, and especially the beautiful rooms are top notch. Possibly my favorite hotel stay of all time. We spent almost 2 hours in the jacuzzi, enjoyed our morning coffees on the roof, and slept like babies in the comfortable beds. It's worth the money- I go to LA frequently and would pay double for these accommodations in that city. You can pay less at other hotels in Budapest, but your experience will be cut in half. Don't miss a chance to stay at the Aria Budapest!

Room Tip: Enjoy the music selection on the TV, and the toilet seat warmers, and be aware that there is no smok...

We have travelled a lot and stayed in some fabulous hotels and this is one of the best. Pre arrival communication was excellent and they arranged for a car to meet us at the airport and indeed return us back there.
The location is excellent very close to some major attractions like Chain Bridge, the impressive St Stephens Basilica, Jewish quarter and the moving Shoes by the Danube memorial. We walked miles aided by directions from the very helpful concierge. They also booked us a night cruise, a trip to Széchenyi thermal baths and a restaurant.
The staff here, make this hotel so special. They are friendly, helpful and enthusiastic about their hotel.
The hotel itself looks unimposing outside but inside its incredible. The interior designer who got the brief to decorate it has made a lovely space with a very individual feel to the whole place. It's slightly quirky and we loved it. We were on the 6th floor of the classical wing in the Franz Josef Listz room. It was magnificent with an enormous bed and wonderful print of the great man himself next to it. It is described as a sun room and has a partial glass ceiling. The room was spotlessly clean and housekeeping staff were friendly and attentive. The bath was huge and there was a good size walk in shower in the bathroom plus it had lovely Molton Brown toiletries,
We ate here on the first night in the library room and the food was excellent with a dessert to die for called The Great Gatsby. We also went up to the roof bar every evening after we returned from dinner. This is a popular place with the "beautiful people" of Budapest and we found that we needed to book a table to ensure we could drink outside with the magnificent floodlight backdrop of St Stephens.
Another lovely offering of the Aria is complementary wine with cheese and biscuits every afternoon from 4pm until 6pm with a very accomplished pianist playing.
I cannot rate this hotel high enough. It far exceeded any expectations we had and we would like to thank all the staff for making our 3 night stay so wonderful and memorable.

Room Tip: Room 606 is magnificent!

Dear Gilly T,

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences about your stay at Aria Hotel Budapest and your praising words.

Indeed, we find it very important to have our concierge colleagues contact our guests prior to their arrival, to see if we can ensure a smooth arrival for them to the hotel. Also, it is a great way for us to find out if there are any special arrangements they would like us to make. If we have the chance, we would like our guests to start their stay by the time they get off their plane, which is why we organize the luxury transfers for them.

Being in the very center of the city is a bless for us because not only we try our best to provide the perfect memories for our beloved guests but we have many places around with a similar mentality and you are able to see the best side of the city and the country. I was glad to read that you’ve enjoyed our wine & cheese receptions, it can truly be a relaxing haven after a tiring day exploring Budapest to listen to some fine music and have a refreshing glass of wine.

I would especially like to thank you for pointing out the helpfulness of our team. Whether it is the ready-to-serve attitude of our housekeeping, to make you feel at home by coming back to a clean room every day, or the friendliness of our concierge and front desk staff with the purpose of understanding the needs of our guests to the fullest by welcoming and open communication. This way of thinking is reflected on the design and construction of our rooms. Sleeping quality is a thing we place a great emphasis on, since we would like our guests to start their days with a smile on their face and so they can fully enjoy the complimentary breakfast in our Music Garden. In the Liszt Studio you’ve stayed in, you are able to top this experience with letting a lot of sunshine in your room with the partly glass ceiling. This is one of the perks of this room which makes it one of our guests' favorite.

I am pleased to see you mentioning about the little things that sometimes can really make the difference such as the High Note SkyBar's handcrafted cocktails and the desserts served by our Stradivari Restaurant. The Skybar really is one of the hotspots of Budapest, so it was a wise decision to get a reservation so you can sit at your desired table with the best view, however our hotel guests are always a priority and we make sure that they get served no matter what.

Dear Gilly, I hope that in the near future we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Aria. If you would like to make a new reservation or you’re in need of any assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me personally.

With warm regards from Budapest,

István Lukács

Dear _barnabasmutua1998,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feelings with us. We are delighted to see that you liked all our facilities from the Harmony Spa's gym and swimming pool to the Room Service. We are blessed with our location, in the heart of the city at the same time not on the most touristy rather in a protected area, where only selected taxis and limousines are permitted to enter and it is more of a pedestrian zone of Budapest. I am glad to see that you recognized our attention to detail and our genuine service paired that can make a difference.
Once again, thank you for your precious feedback and for choosing Aria Hotel as your home away from home.
Should you require anything from us please do let us know and we are very much looking forward to welcoming you back soon.

Warm regards,
Istvan Lukacs
