The Aquincum Hotel Budapest

It is an ok hotel to spend one night, but not more. It is far from the city center and you need a car to get there (or use the public transportation). It is definitely not a 4 star hotel and everything is a bit outdated. The rating of 8 from Booking is a fair one..

Overall, it is a good hotel. The hotel staff will treat you with respect and a smile. He had a very good breakfast. We had fun. It had a very good pool and jacuzzi. Our room was very nice and quiet. But the bathroom was not very clean. We paid 180 euros for a double night.

Our overall experience was not so bad but there is room for improvement.
The thermal baths and the gym are really nice and the coffee ☕️was good. The view of the Danube is also pleasant and the hotel is in an excellent location close to public transport 🚋 that quickly takes you to the city center and popular touristic destinations.
The worst part of our stay was the fact that there was a Latin music “party”/dance event going on on the -1 level of the hotel which kept us awake all night during the first night of our stay. We heard loud music thumping underneath us from 11:30 pm until 6 o’clock in the morning!! When we booked our room, there was no mention of such an event, and we were also not informed of this event during our check-in. But, the next day, after mentioning this, the staff kindly offered to change our room and placed us in the quietest part of the hotel. We in fact, were able to have a good night’s rest during our second/final night.
In terms of cleanliness, the rooms had some markings on the wall sand on the curtains 💋, a the toilet brushes were in suboptimal conditions, and paint was peeling from the bathroom ceiling since there is no ventilation to remove humidity in the bathroom. Furthermore, there is no proper shower door (only a half glass panel on the bathtub) so it is guaranteed you’ll create a small lake in your bathroom while taking a shower (see picture). Also, both showers did not drain the water properly.
In general, this is a shame because the hotel has the potential to be truly “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”, but what is missing is overall cleanliness and attention to details.
