Verdi Budapest Aquincum

The Aquincum Budapest is one of the larger hotels in Budapest, with a high accommodation capacity. It's located on the Buda side, around 5 km from the city centre. The hotel has a private paid parking area, which is definitely recommended, as street parking in the surrounding area is reserved for residents and parking cameras operate 24/7. The reception is open 24 hours a day, and the staff speak at least two languages. However, the rooms and furniture are clearly in need of renovation and still feel like they belong to the 1990s. The swimming pool area would also benefit from a fresh coat of paint. Unfortunately, I had an issue with the mattress: the springs on one side were worn out, leaving my feet noticeably higher than my head. I had to turn the mattress around to make the bed more comfortable. The biggest positive point is definitely the breakfast. It offers a very wide variety of fresh vegetables, cold cuts, bread, fruit, hot and cold drinks, cheese, yoghurt, cereals and hot savoury dishes. Overall, an average experience. The hotel has good potential and a convenient location, but it really needs some renovation and updating to meet the standards expected from a hotel of this size.

This hotel is a peaceful retreat, perfect for a relaxing holiday. The hotel staff was highly professional and helpful throughout our stay and the food was absolutely delicious!! Special thanks to our lovely waiter, Daniel, for his excellent service ❤️

This is such a lovely hotel! Although it is older and a bit dated, the staff, amenities and spa make it a top choice! The breakfast buffet is incredible! A real standout is the staff at the River Restaurant, especially Daniel and Vanessa! Their friendly professional service and genuine hospitality was so appreciated after long, hot days of touring Budapest. Highly recommend this hotel and don't miss out on the River Restaurant!

All right hotel for a shorter stay in Budapest. In terms of value it could be good if you’re enrolled in the GHA Discovery programme and actively stay at participating hotels, otherwise I wouldn’t really say it’s worth it to just book a stay here through other booking sites. Both the hotel itself and rooms were really dated. In terms of service it wasn’t really anything special. The receptionists working were nice but both check-in and check-out took quite a long time compared to other hotels. In terms of GHA status perks I received a welcome amenity in the form of a bottle of Hungaria sparkling wine and a bag of mixed nuts and dry fruit for my titanium status. The hotel is also located around 30-40 minutes from central Budapest which you definitely should consider when booking. In terms of close sights there was a synagogue located right next to my hotel which could be seen from my room which kind of made up for the bad location otherwise. Another great thing about the hotel is that it’s calm and quiet thanks to its location. Would I stay here again? Probably not. Is it worth checking out if you can find a good deal on it? Yes, if you can’t find anything better.
