Vac Holidays

Our unit is located in a historic building and just 1-3 blocks from several bus, tram and metro stops. It was clean and nicely decorated. It had a dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, toaster, Keurig equivalent, and microwave. The bedroom is a loft upstairs with a very modern bathroom downstairs. We appreciated the availability of a washing/dryer machine and the included Netflix. A Budapest Rick Steves guide was available, which helped us plan our next day’s trip excursions.

The hotel was recently remodeled and was very updated. The staff were helpful and pleasant, the breakfast was wonderful with many choices and the hotel was very clean.

Staying at the Áurea Ana Palace Hotel feels like stepping into another era — a time of imperial grandeur, timeless elegance, and exquisite European craftsmanship. More than just a five-star hotel, it is a beautiful reminder of Budapest’s Austro-Hungarian heritage, where historic architecture and refined interiors blend effortlessly with modern comfort. Just a short distance from the majestic Danube, the hotel offers more than a luxurious stay — it offers a connection to the history, culture, and romance of this extraordinary city.

We stayed here for 3 nights to escape the heat of Budapest, the resort is beautiful and well looked after. There is very little we could fault, the only exceptions was a rude man working at the spa who made us feel like we were interrupting his peace, and the automatic 15% service charge added whenever ordering anything from the spa. We asked for an icecream which they took from a freeze in the back room and yes 15% service charge added. The food was lovely for breakfast, and the dinner was good too, though the service was a bit slow, especially when you have children with you. Would definitely come back again though!
