It may have a rich history, but it needs a modern day makeover! The first room we were given smelled of sewer gas...as if it hadn’t been used in months.
The air conditioning in the second room didn’t work (maintenance said they couldn’t do anything about it).
Would have moved to a third room but it was late and we had an early flight out.... happy to leave.

When you book a room in a hotel whether it be direct with the hotel or vis a hotel comparison site - you expect to get a room in the hotel.
I booked a three night stay at the Corinthian hotel through the website HotelTonight - with the only conditions that it was non-refundable and secondly the room would be allocated at check in.
At check in we found that the hotel had placed us in its resident apartment block which is linked to the hotel by a glass bridge.
Although the apartment was huge - if I wanted a stay at an apartment I would have book a room via AirBnd.
As we had arrived at the hotel in the early hours of the morning - o companies to reception that I had expected a room in the main hotel building and not in an apartment usually for guests staying for long periods of time.
The answer I received that I hadn’t booed directly with the hotel, my reservation was non refundable and that since I paid a low rate for the room - I was not able to be accommodated in the main hotel building.
The Corinthian is an iconic building and one on most people’s bucket list - I would certainly not recommend anyone wanting to stay at the Corinthian to book HotelTonight and secondly the way in which we have been treated I would recommend that you stay at other 5 star establishments that value their customers.
Loved Budapest - loved the hotel location but extremely disappointed by my treatment by staff at the Corinthian - the only bad thing we will remember about the Corinthian will be that they ruined our 25th wedding anniversary to Budapest
