    A musical masterpiece in the heart of Budapest!
    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
    Dear GandC1994, Thank you for having stayed in our musically inspired Aria Hotel Budapest! It gives me such a pleasure to read your comment as I feel you had a wonderful stay in our hotel and you could experience each one of our facilities from the Harmony Spa through the Liszt Restaurant to the High Note Skybar. We are looking forward to welcoming you back in the near future when you visit Budapest or any other properties of the Library Hotel Collection! Sincerely, Karoly Kun

    Great Weekend in Aria Hotel Budapest
    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. Best regards Ivor Ecclestone
    Dear Ivor, I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Aria Hotel Budapest during this special occasion and thank you for such a wonderful review. Here at Aria we love celebrations and it was a pleasure to be the part of yours. It was heart-warming to read that you were satisfied with the approach and service of our staff. I will definitely forward your motivating words to the whole Aria Team. It was truly nice to learn from your feedback that you highlighted the service in our award winning Harmony Spa and the quality of the treatments as well. I am also glad you liked our musically inspired and well-equipped rooms. Each room and suite celebrates the work of an unforgettable music legend. Room designs come in four distinctive styles inspired by Jazz (Olive), Opera (Orchid), Classical (Turquoise) or Contemporary (White with a pop of Orange) music. We are extremely lucky with our location, not just because of the most popular sightseeing places are with walking distance but also the spectacular view to the city and to the Saint Stephen’s Basilica right next to us. I hope that we will have the chance to welcome you back in the future to Aria Hotel Budapest or any other sister properties in the Library Hotel Collection Family. Warmest regards, Mark @ Ariahotelbudapest . com

The room is the cosiest one I have ever been and the view from the High Note Skybar is spectacular. The special treat of macarons in the room is the cherry on the pie. Make sure you stay more than one night.

This was our first time in Budapest, our first time at Aria Hotel. The hotel is beautifully designed, feels intimate, and a mix of luxury service in a relaxed atmosphere. Smart rooms with personalized amenities added the perfect touch to our stay. We visited the SPA, a perfect way to relax and recharge for the rest of our Europe trip. The High Note Skybar is a favorite in the city; the views and yummy cocktails and food make it a perfect spot. I loved the musical concept and great location. The breakfast buffet and the evening wine & cheese hour were some of the highlights of our stay. Hope to be back soon!

First rate. Staff was wonderful, as were the accommodations. My wife said she had the best massage in her life at the spa. Our room was on the 4th floor and it was very quiet. There is music playing in the evenings in the ground floor atrium as well as the rooftop, we couldn’t hear either on the 4th floor.

Too often when we stay in boutique hotels they don't live up to the hype. Aria on the other hand does. Really well done!! Great service, great food. We had a beautiful suite. Fabulous location. Right in the heart of the old city.

My recent stay at the Aria Hotel Budapest was a harmonious blend of luxury and musical inspiration in the heart of the city. The hotel’s location near St. Stephen’s Basilica offered convenience and stunning views of the dome. My room was a haven of elegance, with tasteful furnishings, a cozy balcony, and all the amenities one could desire. The rooftop High Note SkyBar provided panoramic views of Budapest’s skyline and the perfect setting for sipping cocktails. Dining at the hotel’s restaurant, Stradivari Restaurant, was a culinary journey, with a menu that celebrated Hungarian and international flavors. The Aria Hotel exceeded all my expectations, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit to this luxurious gem in Budapest.
