The Aquincum Hotel Budapest - Budapest

Although location is not terrific, the access to public transportation, indoor pool/spa and friendly staff make this hotel a value.

I wouldn't rate this hotel 5 stars, it is probably 3 1/2. The rooms were comfortable but smelled like cigarette. The bed was hardly a full size and the bathroom was rather small. Breakfast was about 10 euros pp and was really good. Parking was about 17 euros pday.

Location is too bad for the traveler. The hotel smells too bad.

The bed was a little hard, but otherwise a nice hotel. Easily worth the 4 rating. I didn't get to use the pool and spa but it looked great.

Genuine Expedia guest review

spa is exwelent

Genuine Expedia guest review

the main good thing is that it combines thermal pools and residence with more or less central location - actually i used a car so that distances were minimal

Best value I have had in a long time and I travel a lot!

I think a five star hotel can't afford to give out a strictly non-smoking room which stinks of penetrating cigarette smoke. It came from the furniture and from the walls (the bed lining and the towels smelled good) - I suspect they used this room as a smoking room for years. This is a major failure which prevents me to give five or even a four star […] rating... It's a real shame. But if we could forget this cigarette smoke issue, the hotel could be good, with a silent and nice surrounding and a sweet but a little too spacious Spa. Read more

Low level service, the jacuzi had too much chlorum in it

This is not a 5 stars hotel but 3 stars . It is clean and the breakfast it si very good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel overall is very nice for being in the older part of town, but truthfully (being a frequent 5* er) not what you would "expect" from a 5 star - with the exception of the lobby and the SPA. The SPA / pool facilities are great as advertised - tailored primarily for adults. Rooms were clean, comfortable (not spacious), staff were friendly. The […] surrounding courtyard blends in with the neighborhood - no 5 * frills here. If you are expecting to jump out and buy some snack / drinks - be aware there is really nothing in walking distance, except a very overpriced mini market at the Hev station. The hotel is about 10 minutes from downtown on the Hev - which cones about every 5-10 minutes - which ends at the major transportation junction, or the trolly car can take you to the pest side, where you can also catch the metro. Either way I would recommend on buy a daily transportation pass as you will need it if you stay here and expect to see the sites (available at the major transportation junctions). Would I stay again, yes - as this facility represents value for the cost, and I would rather spend my money on the beautiful sites of Budapest !! Read more

Would not recommend, following are pros and cons : Pros - Close to Margaret Island, Good thermal pool n jacuzzi. Cons - Service non existant, Reception very inhospitable, Executive lounge not manned continously and stocked adequately, Breakfast big spread but not to expecte quality. Concierge only interested in selling tickets and not really helpful […] otherwise. It is about 15 mts by train to Chain bridge and 15 mts walk accross the bridge to Margaret island Very very over rated 4 star and very avoidable!! Read more

If you want to be in the old city, this is the hotel for you. Our air conditioning didn't work, and the surrounding neighborhood is somewhat seedy, but otherwise a nice hotel - and a great price with Hotels.com!

The Ramada Plaza is an OK hotel, but not more. An advantage is the spacious Spa area with a workout room, swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam bath. The whole place, though, seems to have seen better days. It is CERTAINLY not the 5 star hotel it claims to be. I had a plumbing problem in my bathroom sink, which was not taken care of, although I did […] complain at the reception desk. I chose the hotel because it was close to the business I had in town, but it is quite a ways from the shopping and entertainment district. Read more

The stuff was organised and kind. Everything worked fine. Spa was real nice. Food could have been a little better. City center easy to access by public transport. Food could have been better. Hotel decoration a bit old fashion.

I am a 25 year Captain for a major airline and I travel the world and see many nice hotels. I traveled to Budapest on a personal holiday. I am here to say that this hotel has it all--Thermal water spa-- free breakfast and drinks (on executive plan) Quiet clean room, and close to Margarate Island (great jogging path) Bus /train service within 100 meters […] of the hotel provide quick access all over town. I suggest an all day or all week bus pass to see the city. I will stay there again. If you are afraid to use the bus then stay at a downtown hotel and pay 3 times more. The bus is so easy. And just behind the hotel 300 meters is a great Hungarian resteraunt. I think the name is "Keli" great place too. Take taxi to from airport about 25 Euros . I enjoyed it very much! Read more

The Concierge and front desk staff were excellent! The Spa was beautiful. The only down fall to the hotel was the restaurant. We got to the hotel late on the first night and had no choice but to eat there. No other restaurants were in the local area. The hotel food was extremely over priced and did not taste good. Two people in our group of six got […] sick after eating there. Other than that it was a nice place. Read more

Positively the best hotel experience we've had in Europe for the money. Clean, rooms above avg size for Europe, staff friendly & helpful. Restaurant excellent quality and prices reasonable. Excellent pool/spa layout. Not close to attractions but train station only about 150 yards away allowing easy connect to Metro, trams, and buses. Cannot imagine […] better deal for the price. Surrounding area not scenic but clean, safe, and view of Danube. Read more

Booked this hotel for a 4 night stay. The quality of the hotel was to the highest standard definitely a 5 start. The staff were extremely polite and very friendly.

We got this on a mystery hotel deal, and were really happy with the stay, particularly the use of pool/spa at the end of the day. On the map it seems a bit out of the action, but its minutes away from a light railway station that gets you downtown in 10-15 minutes. On the other end of the same rail line is the Dunabe corner with its picturesque villages. […] There is also a great restaurant just around the corner (Kéhli Vendéglő). The upkeep of the room was slightly worst than average for this category. The hotel seemed to mostly cater for people on business conferences/meetings. Read more

Hotel has many 5 star features ... but there were things that let it down. The spa / pools were closed for some of our stay. No towels in rooms for two of the days ..laundry problem. Generally the staff were pleasant but struggling to cope with so many complains from coustomers. The hotel is a little way out of town. Hired some bikes from the hotel […] but they broke down. At first the management were unconcerned with our spoilt trip . But when we continued to complain eventually we got an apopolgy. Read more

Wonderful Spa - shame about the air conditioning in the room which couldn't cope with the very hot weather.

Everything fine except the computers in the business center, which werent from this century and to expensive to use.

Helpful staff. Extremely good value for money. A potential minus is its distance from the main attractions. However, to offset this problem there's a complimentary shuttle service which I don't recall seeing anywhere on your web page. Sumptuous buffet breakfast. The complimentary spa is quite wonderful!

The whole hotel was clean and well kept. The spa pools were impressive and open in the evening as well as the day. Food in the resaurant was good.

Stayed here when visiting friends and myself and girlfriend could not fault anything with the hotel. Reception staff were very friendly and check in/out was very quick. Bar staff also very friendly and very reasonably priced in comparison to other hotels I have stayed in. Spa facilities are fantastic and treatments were also reasonably priced as well […] as free WIFI throughout the hotel. The only downside was the air conditioning unit not working and the heating in the room was too hot but as it was winter, opening the window solved this. Would definitely recommend the hotel and when I am back in Budapest this is where I will be staying. Some reviews claim that the hotel is too far out but this was not a problem as the tram is outside the hotel and in the summer it would be a lovely walk along the Danube. Like the title says, you won't find better value anywhere. Read more

Although I am a frequent supporter of the finest accommodations around the World, I couldn't resist staying at the very neighbourhood I grew up in during this recent Business trip. This property would have 4 stars by most international standards, as it doesn't have the traditional extra glamour and the distinct pampering we accustomed at the top level; […] however it provides excellent amenities, service, comfort, ambiance and very friendly staff. I booked king room through hoteIs.com with the full breakfast at an exceptional price. i got my river view room on the executive club level, which brings up a good point. If I were offered the use of the Executive club for about the same price as the breakfast I definitely picked the club access. Unfortunately that is not an option on any of the web based booking sites, making this great service the best kept secret of the hotel. Solution: book without breakfast online and pay for the club upon arrival. I stayed 9 days and most of my observations below were relatively consistent. The hotel lobby was really welcoming upon arrival and the check in process was fast and painless, something you'd appreciate after a 20 hour journey. The elevators, hallways and generally all common areas had a "newly updated" feeling. The room had an average first impression, except the definite smell of prior smoking there. Nevertheless, it turned out to be a comfortable, clean and quiet room. The flat screen TV had most local radio and TV stations, plus a number of German network TV, a couple of French, Italian, Russian stations, however indeed, if you'd only speak English, you could be stuck with the news, and one British travel channel. The internet service (free) was exceptionally efficient for any hotel. I had several long video conferences and heavy internet usage without a hitch. My personal favorite of the hotel was the spa. It is open from 6:30-22:00 and offers a perfect sanctuary before, during and/or after your busy business day or sights Read more

The spa and pool were exceptional. However, there were a few small issues with the room. Firstly, in this quality hotel you would expect a flat screen tv and some english channels apart from the bbc news. Secondly, the shower screen was too small, hence every time the shower was used the floor and towel were left wet no matter how careful you were. Finally, […] the bar showed particularly bad service both slow and didnt run there advertised happy hour as the till wasn't discounting the drinks. Otherwise all the other staff were particularly helpful. Read more

Overall a great hotel. On this occasion, breakfast was a let down (for the money paid) and no towels were left when changed. Not a huge issue but you would expect better for the money paid.

The hotel was very good, clean, comfortable, and with all advertised amenities. It is close to the suburban rail line to downtown, and overlooks the Danube.

Excellent value otherwise, thanks  […] hotels.com Read more
