We stayed at Aria Budapest. The hotel was amazing for not only the location, but the hotel rooms and amenities were outstanding! The staff was also top notch! A big shout out to Matthew who always greeted us with a huge smile and made sure...we had the best service imaginable ❤️More

Fabulous venue, beautifully decorated but sadly did not live up to expectations. There was not enough staff, we waited an incredibly long time to order and then again for our food to arrive. When it did the salmon was overcooked probably because it has been...waiting on the pass for so long and the other meals were average. The manageress was apologetic and amended our bill accordingly.More

Very centrally located (right next to the Basilica). We sat outside and we were promptly welcomed by Ricsi, our server for that morning. The service was great so as were the drinks. A bit pricier than the Budapest average, but given the position and the...quality of the service, I find this understandable.More

We had breakfast here and the food was excellent. Very tasty. This is a bit of a Hollywood spot which some celebrities visiting from time to time (autographs on the wall). The service is friendly, but not vey attentive… we had to ask for the...rest of our food as they only brought some of the order, and they charged my card in USD rather than the local currency without asking me first. If you go here, and pay by card, make sure they charge you in the local currency as your bank will give you a better exchange rate. They might tell you it is not possible, but that is BS. Only American CC machines charge USD by default.More

Visited here on 2nd January for my partners birthday. The restaurant is small, just off the entrance to the Aria hotel, so it could be easily missed. It doesn't quite have the atmosphere of a high-end restaurant as you can't get away from the fact...that it is a restaurant within a hotel and you do get guests peering in for a nosy (not helped by its proximity to the entrance) but the quality of the food makes up for that. If you want to sample local cuisine this is the way to do it. From start to finish the dishes were delicious and the waiter was very knowledgeable in his descriptions. The homemade bread and butter was so delicious we had to ask for more! The staff were all very welcoming and friendly and at the end of our meal they were able to call upstairs to the HighNote SkyBar and reserve a table for us for after dinner drinks. All in all, it was very enjoyable.More

Extraordinary Fine Dining, exceptionally beautiful atmosphere and attentive service. We loved everything about our stay at the Aria Budapest but the cherry on top was our thoroughly enjoyable meal at Liszt Restaurant. Everything from the bread and butter to dessert was top notch. We loved...the varied Menu that showed extraordinary skill and creativity with vegan dishes as well as elegant takes on delicious local classics. Our Dinner here was a last minute decision prompted by by our stay at the hotel and convenience, BUT Liszt should not be missed when in Budapest. EXTRA EXTRA Extraordinary!!More
