A fabulous hotel in the perfect location for exploring the sites of Budapest. The service, staff & amenities were outstanding & we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this hotel! Exceeded expectations, which is a rarity these days!

So on our first visit to Budapest, we wasn’t sure where to stay, but after reading the rave reviews about the Aria, it was decided. The hotel is situated on a private road, so there are no noisy cars driving up and down. We were greeted warmly as soon as we stepped out of the cab, checked in quickly and offered a coffee while we were waiting for our room. The hotel is very unique with a stylish indoor courtyard with a piano and lots of light and mirrors everywhere. The whole theme is music and it is very well suited indeed. The attention to detail is spot on. We were shown to our room, which was huge. The bedroom was huge, the bathroom was huge, the shower was huge, hopefully you get the picture.....it was huge!! There are two windows which look out on the main road, so not really a city view as such, but it’s good for people watching. The hotel is very nicely situated very close to all the main sites, so very easy to explore by foot. The staff are super friendly and helpful and nothing was a problem. Breakfast was nice with a small buffet with hot food cooked to order. We had dinner in the Liszt restaurant one evening which was very nice with great food and amazing desserts. We also had a massage in the spa which was very, very good and the spa itself is very well equipped with a large pool and various steam rooms/sauna. The rooftop bar has a big selection of drinks and good views of the city, but it was too cold for us to venture outside to get a proper look. All in all a 5* experience and highly recommended. Thank you everyone at the Aria G and C

I booked a few days To Budapest in February 2020 at the 5 Star Aria library Spa Hotel in central Budapest to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday. I chose the Aria as it was very central and positioned right next door to the Basilica. As it was our first trip to Budapest I wanted it to be special. We had a great flight from London and was picked up at the airport by a private chauffeured car. The immaculate driver/car was superb and he was very informative. He offered complimentary water on the journey to the hotel which took approx 30 minutes. On arrival we were greeted by very friendly, smart concierge and reception personnel who were extremely efficient. The hotel is small in comparison to the large international chain hotels but where it lacked scale, it made up for it with its personal touch. Our room/en-suite was fantastic and very modern and spotlessly clean. All the mod cons. Electric window blinds, chandeliers and beautifully decorated. The hotel decoration was exquisite and based on a music theme with a large bespoke contemporary grand piano central to the main lounge area. My wife and I had 6 spa treatments whilst we were there and the Spas were lovely. The pool, sauna and steam room and shower facilities were 1st class. I travel worldwide regularly with my work and privileged to stay in 5 star hotels where ever I am. However I can honestly say the Aria Hotel is on par with any 5 star I have been in. All the staff we met during our stay were very friendly and very professional in every way. I would certainly return to this hotel and have already recommended it to many of our friends. Budapest was also a very great choice. Wonderful site seeing. The Basilica is a must. Great restaurants and bars. We both throughly enjoyed it and will return in the near future.
