The Aria in Budapest is an excellent hotel. We had the pleasure of staying there two nights earlier this month (June 2017). Communication with the hotel staff before our trip was easy and reassuring. They arranged for an early check-in and for a car to pick us up to bring us to the hotel as well as bring us back to the airport. The concierges were always happy to supply information and recommendations. The Harmony Spa was excellent. We enjoyed a couples massage and later the jacuzzi, pool and sauna. (My partner is a massage therapist, so we know when we've received a great massage, and we did at the Aria.) Attention to detail abounds and all of our needs were met. The breakfast was tasty and well-organized, and in the afternoons we enjoyed the wine, cheese and the piano music in the lobby. We stayed in the Jazz wing, and loved the colors and decor. The room-darkening shades in the room were very much appreciated, and the room was well-appointed with all the amenities we could want. We did not figure out how to use the towel-warmer but that was our fault for not asking for more help. The hotel is in an excellent location right near Saint Stephen's Basilica, and interesting shops and restaurants as well as walking distance to the Budapest Eye. The Aria's restaurant was wonderful and we were delighted with the inventive dishes we had. The rooftop deck had awe-inspiring views of the city, and the bar had unique cocktails, presented artfully. Part or parts of the deck did seem to be off-limits , I gather due to reservations but we still had enough access. Each of the staff we met was friendly and eager to help and professional. I can see everyone works hard there and is dedicated. I recommend this hotel to anyone.

In one of the best locations in budapest this hotel the aria is a great choice when coming to the aria. A mix of modern and pop the hotel and its staff work to make you experience a good one and a safe one. Good security at the door keeps out the posers. Nice rooftop bar and lobby bar. Rooms are just okay size-wise you would expect larger. bathrooms also not great but very nice. Breakfast is weaker for them not great but acceptable with staff overwhelmed when its busy. Overall a good choice in budapest and would stay again.

When we are searching for hotels, we look for a boutique-size hotel in a prime location, with a few extras thrown in. To say we were thrilled with Aria is a complete understatement. Our trip had a 24-hour delayed start due to the British Airways fiasco at the end of May. We immediately notified Aria and they told us not to worry. They would extend our stay on the back end by one day. We took advantage of the car service offered by the hotel, and though not inexpensive, it was worth being transported in style, after the rough start to our trip. We had booked the Luxury Room with 1 King Bed in the Classical Wing and we were given a large room with a balcony overlooking the Music Garden. (Not sure if all the Luxury Rooms have balconies but ours was Room 207). The room was beautiful and impeccably clean. And since we were celebrating our anniversary, champagne and fruit were waiting for us upon arrival. The bathroom (separate tub and rainfall shower), complete with chandelier, was spacious and opulent.

The hotel is located within a stone’s throw of the beautiful St. Stephen’s Basilica. There are so many restaurants (and sights) within a short walk that we never needed a cab. We literally walked everywhere (using even public transporation only once to get to the Szechenyi Baths) Arriving earning in the evening on the first day, we asked Tomas at the Front Desk for a few dinner recommendations. We chose Café Kor and Tomas made a reservation. We were very happy with this casual (but very attentive dining experience) with great local selections and wine. Tomas ended up making reservations for us the next 2 nights (Evidens and Etterem) and we enjoyed each restaurant he recommended. After dinner, we headed up to the Sky Bar for a drink and the incredible view looking out at the massive St. Stephen’s Dome, lit up at night with Buda across the river.

Starting off with the complimentary breakfast in the Music Garden each morning was relaxing and peaceful. We tried all of the made-to-order egg dishes and were pleased with each. The buffet selection of fruits, breads, cheeses, etc. was more than ample and the service was spot-on. After breakfast, we toured the Pest sights (St. Stephens and a climb to the tower for a great daytime view of the city), a walk along the Danube Promenade (where you come upon the Shoes on the Danube memorial), continued to the Parliament Building (but no a tour because our timing was off. I understand the tour is worthwhile for history buffs but not a must-do tour. But if you’re interested, get tickets in advance). We did do the Hungarian Opera Tour, which was very interesting (definitely pay extra for the private mini-concert by one of the opera singers at the end). We tried to visit the Great Synagogue, however, a sign was posted on the ticket window that they closed early and would be closed the following 2 days. Be sure to check in advance if this is on your to-do list. We were at least able to see the Tree of Life through the open fence. We made it back to the hotel in time for the lovely Wine and Cheese hour, with entertainment by a talented pianist in the Music Garden.

The following day we concentrated on the Buda sights but wanted to make it back in time to go to the colorful and worthwhile Szechenyi Baths. The hotel provided us with some spare towels so we wouldn’t have to rent them, which was great. On the way back, we found the Szimpla Kert Ruin Bar (worth a visit) and had a drink. We also visited the revitalized and very lively Jewish District which offers many pubs and clubs. If we had more time, we would have hung out here a while longer. Tomas set us up again for dinner on our final evening at Etterem, a restaurant that was “off the beaten path”. In fact we were the only diners there (sat outside). Though that made me nervous initially, both of our dinners were delicious and the service was great. It was also incredibly reasonable for all of the food, drinks & dessert we had.

We were sorry to leave the Aria the following morning to head to Prague. But we would stay there again in a heartbeat. If I “had” to pick one thing for them to improve, it might be to invest in some fluffier bath towels. Otherwise, I wouldn’t change a thing.

This is the third Library collection hotel that we have stayed in and it maintains the quality and distinctiveness we encountered in Prague and NewYork. Also, it is a perfect location for public transport to get around Budapest. The staff were extremely friendly and truly interested in making our stay as good as possibe, when we had suggestions, such as providing an extra piece of furniture in the bathroom, they acted on them immediately. The quality of the breakfast and snack food was great. Our suggestion is to make the dinner menu and options clearer, and perhaps 'more Hungarian'.
