Mini moon Review of Aria Hotel Budapest by Library Hotel Collection Pending review We spent 3 nights at this stunning hotel in August. Situated in the heart of Budapest, we didn't use any taxis, we were able to walk to everywhere we wanted to visit. We were greeted by the lovely staff on visit and special welcome from Kornel the musical director who congratulated us on our honeymoon and on my Wife's pregnancy which was a lovely touch. We were given the Michael Jackson room, which was stunning and a lovely balcony to relax, we were also greeted with a bottle of champagne. The complimentary cheese and wine was a lovely touch. The breakfast every morning was fantastic, wide range of continental and cooked breakfast. My wife was missing her morning pancakes there for weeks on our return. The staff would do anything they could to help you enjoy your visit. A huge thank you to one of the staff members (unfortunately can't remember her name) who kindly made a reservation for us at a local Italian restaurant from their recommendation which was lovely. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her relaxing pregnacy massage and we both enjoyed the spa facilities provided. It is by far the best hotel we have ever stayed in, we felt very privileged to be there and can see why it attracts the rich and famous. Steve Aoki visited whilst we there. A big thank you for helping to making our mini-moon one that we will not forget.…

Dear Cillian B, We are truly amazed when again and again we realise how inspiring it possibly can be to stay in the Aria Hotel Budapest for a couple of days. Your subtly composed review is indeed music to our entire staff. Thank you for sharing your experience, seasoned with your comments of the most sophisticated taste. It was my personal privilege to meet and greet you in person upon your arrival. Budapest is striving to achieve a touristic gem status, and there is still so much to see and enjoy here. Aria is in the heart of the historic city centre, so it is a perfect starting point for walking tours, seeking the most popular spots as well as those little romantic corners off the beaten track. Music is in the focus of our concept, so among other services, the melody and pace of our wine & cheese reception is made perfect by the play of our signature pianists – and indeed, you never know which of your favorite music stars is coming across your way in our Music Garden courtyard lobby :-) I truly hope to see you returning back to us – please send me a message beforehand so I can personally take care of your arrival and stay, in accordance with your preference, up to the nifty details. With my heartfelt best wishes: Kornél @ AriaHotelBudapest . com

Hotel's Favorite
Our stay at the Aria Hotel Budapest was fabulous! From the moment we arrived, we experienced incredible hospitality, customer service, and warmth from the hotel staff--specifically Csaba, Vivian, Anna, Jason, and Paula. I have stayed in fine hotels all over the world, but none surpassed the welcome and dedication to us that we experienced at the Aria. I have grown accustomed to fabulous staff customer service in my many stays at the Elysee Hotel, New York City, another Library Hotel. However, all of the Aria staff all get a 10 out of 10 for excellence. The hotel has incredible accommodations and features in a terrific location. Jean and I would love to stay there again! Pictured in the included photo are my wife Jean and me with Aria staff members, Anna and Vivian. We consider these lovely ladies our friends now.…

This is an amazing hotel - really nicely themed, lovey sized rooms with great amenities. The location is perfect and last, but most importantly the staff are very friendly and all willing to help with whatever you need. We loved the breakfast and afternoon cheese and wine. The Spa facilities were spot on, and the massage was a nice way to end our holiday. We were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and would recommend to all couples looking for a special hotel in Budapest.

We loved our stay here. This stylish hotel has a musical theme, from the piano keys on the lobby floor, the unusual piano in the main reception room and the names of the rooms (ours was Vivaldi). The decor of this hotel is striking and tasteful - splashes of colour throughout make it visually appealing. The sky top bar offers stunning views of the city. The basilica is a stone’s throw away so the location is ideal. Food great and the staff were wonderful. Can’t say enough good things about this hotel

Wonderful hotel. Beautiful throughout. Spacious rooms decorated with great attention to detail including music piped into the bathroom. Moulton Brown toiletries provided together with robes and slippers. The breakfasts were delicious and served in the calm and beautiful hall. The spa is great and spotlessly clean. We loved the rooftop bar and used it everyday! The staff are so knowledgeable about cocktails and would make any we asked for and would suggest alternative ingredients to add their own twist! Great position near the Basilica close to many restaurants and cafes. Very friendly and helpful staff often going the extra mile to help for example when giving advice about public transport. Highly recommend!

We visited several hotels and resorts all around the world and I can say Aria is far the best Hotel we have ever stayed in. I have no words to express my experience about the Hotel and services.just one word: Amazing! The building is a masterpiece, the location is central and perfect and the staff is the most professional and kindest in the world. I would highlight the service and the kindness of Dominic. He did a lot for us and treat us like a family member. He was helpful with programs and recommend us perfect restaurants and places. He is a perfect representative of the quality of this place. I hope everyone will have the chance to enjoy the caring of these people. Benedict is also an exceptional gentleman. Jason secure us the perfect breakfast. All in all, all of the member in the Aria are the best in the Hospitality business. Definitely, this place deserves 5+ stars and Service and I would love to recommend for everyone to stay here in Budapest. Totally worth the price and hopefully we will have the chance to come back as soon as possible. Thank you for everyone in the Aria! See you soon! Best regards!…

We travel quite a lot and yet we would say that this hotel rates among the very best we have stayed in. It is in a perfect location and can be found behind an unassuming door behind which lies an oasis of beauty and calm. From the moment of arrival the level of service was so impressive. The interior design of the hotel is spectacular. Our room (James Brown) overlooked the internal courtyard and was beautiful. We were greeted with a bottle of fizz on ice in our room on arrival, which was a lovely touch. The bed was immensely comfortable and the room provided everything you might need. The rooftop High Note bar is spectacular and the reception staff always ensured we had a reservation when we requested one. Each evening they offer complimentary wine and nibbles between 4pm-6pm, which were a lovely way to cool down once you came back in after a day of sightseeing. The staff were all so lovely, helpful, friendly and fun. A special shout out to Anna and Vivienne on reception who helped us on so many occasions. Thank you to the wonderful Jason who looked after us at wine reception and again at breakfasts. We loved talking to him and he ensured we wanted for nothing. A final thank you to Benedict who organised for us to store our cases and order us a taxi to the airport, when we returned for a couple of hours from Lake Balatan before heading to the airport. The only problem with the hotel is that one is now spoilt for when you try anywhere else. …

Aria is a fabulous boutique hotel very well located in Budapest. The decor and music theme with wings devoted to different types of music are a delight . Our room was spectacular--Frank Sinatra inspired--wonderful. But what makes it really special is the staff. All are great but most especially Barbara who made us feel so much at home. The Sky Bar is lovely with great views of the Basilica and beyond. We tried out the spa and both had lovely treatments in a very inviting atmosphere. Great indoor swimming pool. The breakfast each morning was tasty and got us on our way in a city we love. We were sorry to leave but the hotel provided transportation to the airport topped off a great experience. We would highly recommend the Aria as the hotel to stay in Budapest!

Dear Susangal, On behalf of the entire Aria Staff let me thank you for staying in this musically inspired gem in Budapest. Even we could not have phrased it better than you what an experience it is to spend a couple of days in the Aria. We appreciate your kind words about the decor, the services and our super friendly staff (including the spirit of the house, Barbara :). Our top priority is our guests’ satisfaction. We are so proud of our central location. The fact our guests can visit most of the sights of Budapest on foot gives a huge additional plus to everyone's stay. We very much hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on your next visit to Budapest or perhaps to one of our sister properties in Prague, Manhattan, or Toronto. In case you wish to prepare your new reservation, please feel free to let us know next time that you are already a member of the Library Hotel Collection family and we may offer the best rate for you as our returning guests.
