Forget your soul-less stainless steel and pinewood “Superior” hotels! The Astoria Hotel in Budapest is a seriously “Grand” hotel whichever way you look at it. From the moment that you step out of its Metro station (how many hotels have a station named after them?) until you finally roll down the shutters and retire to your king sized bed you will be glad you chose this hotel.
Situated at a major crossroads with the historic centre of Budapest just a short walk away and with trams to all parts right outside (if you don’t care to use the Metro) this is an ideal location for a city-break hotel.
The Empire style reception and profusion of Art-work may have olden days charm and
romantic associations but, make no mistake, the appointments of your air-conditioned Bedroom will not disappoint you. All the recently refurbished Deluxe Rooms have been finished with the most meticulous attention to detail with superbly fitted bathrooms and large beds with individual duvets. Buffet breakfast is served in the Mirror Restaurant and provides an interesting and unusually diverse selection of hot and cold treats to fortify you for your day exploring the amazing contrasts of old and new that Budapest (and indeed this hotel itself) provides. The Mirror Coffee shop (on the street) and the Mirror Restaurant (tucked away to the rear) both individually make the “top-ten in Budapest” in the guide book. Don’t be surprised that they are so popular with the denizens of Budapest as well as visitors – just look at the cake stand on the way out, they constantly change the selections so you will want to go back into the café and start again!
The General Manager of the hotel Gabor Maraczi and his staff will do their utmost to make sure you have a wonderful and memorable stay. As they say, their motto is “Tradition and style…” which is exactly what you will find if you are lucky enough to stay here.
