The Hotel Aria was somewhere we were looking forward to visit and felt buoyed by the reviews seen when researching for a place to stay. I can confirm that the reality far exceeded the expectations. The hotel is in a prime spot in Budapest, and is just the right size as its not so small as to be a boutique hotel but also not so large that you feel you get lost in it and are just a number, rather than a guest. The staff were the real winner here, their politeness, helpfulness and attention to detail are second to none. Nothing is too big or too small for them to deal with. I cannot speak more highly of them. |The hotel itself is beautiful, and the music theme throughout is a lovely touch. It is also absolutely spotless and the cleaning staff obviously do their work very well but are hardly ever seen. |We were served free cheese and wine every afternoon which runs from 4-6pm, and each time there was a different live music accompaniment. Breakfast was also delightful, with an extensive buffet, continental breakfast served and also an option for things like Eggs Benedict cooked to order. |The front desk helped me with tour bookings and advised on other things to occupy our time whilst there. The general waiting staff were always on hand as well, without being in your face too much as can be in some places. They were all also always happy to stop and have a chat with you which was a nice touch.|To sum it all up, I highly recommend Hotel Aria and cannot wait to revisit again.

The hotel is very stylish and music lovers will have particular appreciation - every room is themed by a musician! Also the view/balcony is facing inwards into the yard, so it's quiet. Location is excellent if you aim to explore Budapest by foot or public transportation. Staff was very friendly especially during check-in and at breakfast time. A bonus - there is live music and drinks/cheese from 4-6pm (think) every day! Would stay again!

We had an outstanding stay at the Aria Hotel, genuinely one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had on any holiday. The staff were incredible from start to finish, warm, attentive, and always one step ahead. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and it really made the whole trip feel special. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and great quality. The complimentary cheese and wine each afternoon was a brilliant touch and became something we looked forward to every day. The spa, pool, and saunas were spotless and relaxing, a perfect way to unwind after exploring the city. The rooftop terrace deserves a special mention, stunning views, great atmosphere, and a lovely place to end the evening. Overall, the hotel is just superb in every way. We’d stay again in a heartbeat.

This was one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in a long time. The service is top notch, the breakfast outstanding, the daily use of the pool, jacuzzi, saunas were a plus. The view from the sky bar was amazing. Our room was amazing as well. I highly recommend this hotel!

We spent three nights at the Aria as part of our 50th anniversary celebration. I cannot thank the hotel enough for their kindness, attentiveness and professionalism during our stay! Our room was beautiful, and spotless. The restaurant staff was so willing to accomodate my wife who is gluten free. Budapest is lovely and a tip for all...learn the tram system before you go. It saves walking and is also free to those over 65. A sincere thank you to the general manager Mate Tolnai for making our stay memorable. You have a beautiful hotel and an exceptional staff!

Great location and hotel. Staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms quiet and clean and well appointed. The suites Fe fantastic. Breakfast was great, loved the Hungarian sausage, not spicy like a chorizo. Drinks and food in skyline cocktail bar were amazing the cocktails well thought out and original and the food was super yummy. All in all great and we’d come back for sure.

Our experience at the Aria Hotel from start to finish was outstanding. The rooms, decor and setting are beautiful. Despite being in a city centre, the rooms are peaceful and calm. The little details they offer, like a huge bed, comfy pillows, and Molton Brown toiletries, add such a lovely extra. The spa is well worth a visit, as are the complimentary daily cheese-and-wine afternoon sessions with live music for guests. And the views from the Sky Bar on an evening whilst sipping a crafted cocktail are breathtaking. The breakfast was superb, and the only things better than the food and the hotel are the team who look after you and the service they provide. Shout-out to Jason, who was on hand to look after us each day. Keep up the good work, Team Aria. We will be back!❤️

Great boutique hotel in the best location in Budapest, close to all main attractions in walking distance. It's a genuine luxury-level hotel, so for those who seek 5-star experience but prefer to stay away from large crowds, this is the ideal choice. Staff is very polite and helpful. Rooms are spacious, very well maintained and spotless ! Breakfast is basic but sufficient. The hotel guests seem to be mostly elderly couples and those who seek peace and quiet. I didn't encounter families with children in the hotel, or loud young groups. Since the hotel is located in a restricted area for pedestrians only, and only some taxi companies are allowed to the hotel doorstep, If you plan to arrive by car, you should check in advance with the hotel to make sure you have direct access, which is especially important if you're driving a rental or arriving with lots of baggage. Otherwise, airport taxis will likely drop you off at the closest corner, which is fine, it's 1 minute walk. Bottom line - if you're looking for the best 5 star in the best location to explore Budapest and appreciate quality service and upscale experience - the Aria is for you.
