Callas House

When the cab dropped us at the hotel, we could see all kinds of high-end shopping and the Callas Restaurant, but only a large pair of wooden doors that had a smaller door cut into them. No significant entrance or signage, and the doors were locked. Fortunately, a guest who was having breakfast in the restaurant showed us where and how to get into the hotel. Inside, we were in a large room with some steps off to the right and a sign that said reception was on the THIRD floor. The he staff was courteous and accommodating, and regardless of anyone waiting, he took us up to and into our room. The room was as shown on the photos already posted, under the roof, with steps up to a balcony that is designed for smokers, but not for the scenic view of the opera house next door - the stone railing is substantial and high. The room and bathroom were kept clean and well supplied, and we had no complaints. The peculiarities of the structure is probably due to its age and previous usage. The stand alone restaurant next door served a nice breakfast and delicious dinner. Be a are that you should probably make a reservation, because on nights the opera house is open, they’re booked.

We have only one problem about our stay that should be noted for improvement to be made. The frontal door is not signed as it should be for a hotel that gets 4/5 stars. There is no display on lifgt that reception is on 3rd floor and the two lower floors - where embassy of ecuador and another firm have their offices - have nothing to do with the hotel. We are told this lack of signage has been pointed out to owner a number of times but he fails to do anything about it. Having said that the terrace room is marvellous, the receptionist staff are marvellous as is the restaurant on ground floor and we would stay there again

Rooms are very nice and the staff is super helpful and positive. We also liked the location. The hallways, stairs and elevator are all kind of dingy which is too bad as it gives a worrisome first impression

Nice but overpriced hotel, it has no visible front, the reception is kind of hidden on the third floor of a building with hard to find front. My wife and I got a single room key, which made it difficult to run independent errands.

Es un edificio histórico pero la entrada al hotel es patética. Hay que llamar a un telefonillo para entrar porque la recepción está en el tercer piso. Es incomprensible que no haya un cartel en la fachada y la entrada no esté en la planta baja porque es muy bonita y hay espacio. El ascensor es antiguo y necesita una reforma integral. Sin embargo las habitaciones son muy buenas, amplias y cómodas.

I had an enjoyable stay. The lady who checked me in was delightful and walked me to my room and was horrified that there was a single pillow case that hasn't been ironed and immediately took it away. I found it amusing, but it shows their high standards. The only downside was the entrance is not easy to find.

This is an Amazing hotel! The location can not be beat for the atmosphere and shopping/dining. Parking is a little difficult if you drive a car, but very doable. The staff is exceptional. The rooms are even better. We will definitely be back

Firstly this hotel is situated on the 3rd and 4th floor of an old apartment building, which is accessed by a lift or stairs. This gives it a bit of an unconventional feel, but which I loved. It is located on a main road, right beside the Opera house and within a 5 minute walk to St Stephen’s Basilica. As a solo traveler, the location was fantastic, I could more or less walk everywhere and at no time did I feel unsafe walking back to the hotel after dark. The Metro was virtually outside the hotel if needed. Staff very helpful, room large and clean. Rooms were cleaned and fresh towels provided daily. My only negative and it is a very small one, was the hotel itself was hard to find as it was not well signposted, only a very small sign on the front door of the building. This could definitely be improved. That saying, if I’m ever lucky enough to visit Budapest again, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Very camp, very comfortable, terrific coffee house/restaurant/bar, cool location, friendly and helpful staff, lots of stairs - a little difficult for heavy bags!

オペラハウスのすぐ横で、地下鉄の駅も目の前にあり、大変便利です。普通のホテルのエントランスではなく、アパートのようにロックされた扉だったので、ホテルにどうやって入ればいいのか最初戸惑いました。

Whilst the hotel itself is decorated to a very high standard, the cleaning really let the rooms down (see images for yourself). Rubbish left in the bathroom, hairs, dusty extractor fan, water marks, dust over all of the wooden doorframes/ doors, dirty floors especially in the corners which had been neglected for time, and worst of all under the bed and tv stand. I have NEVER seen a room more filthy than this. I only check under the furniture when we leave to make sure nothing was missed. Don’t know how it could get this bad - clear under the furniture had not been cleaned for years. If this the visible cleanliness imagine how dirty the things you can’t see are. Do NOT stay here. It also does not have air con.

We like historic buildings even if they are missing a little convenience. It was unusually hot the day we arrived and no AC, but there was good ventilation with the windows open and it was fine. The photos are the view of the opera house from our room and the imperfect but beautiful lobby. The towels were very very very old with holes. Otherwise, the room was Lovely

Terrible, absolutely not 4 stars! Limescale and mould in the shower, bad breakfast.

Callas house is a lovely hotel right next to the opera house, so it is very central. The room we had was big and clean. The bed was huge. The bathroom was clean and lots of towels. The blackout blinds were great. They made sure we always had plenty of toiletries. The cleaners left the room spotless everyday. The reception was fantastic and really helpful. The breakfast was great but the only thing was that there could have been a slight change in the hot food offered e.g. bacon. The breakfast was perfect for us over a weekend but might get quite repetitive if you were staying for longer. The bread at breakfast was delicious and fresh. Overall a fantastic stay.

Excellent hotel - we stayed for 2 nights on a quick trip. The location meant we could walk everywhere we wanted; felt safe; and loved all of the architecture. We will definitely stay again - the hotel is gorgeous as is the city. Particularly loved the very clean bathroom and comfortable bed.

Everything was great other than the fact that we could hear the other guests in the hallway quite loudly. Location is central, room was clean and the people very helpful.

Yes spotless courteous

Nice and clean, very friendly and helpful reception.

Hotellet var mysigt och låg centralt. Det som var lite dåligt var hand duschen,nästan ingen stråle alls så man fick använda takduschen. Bättre om det var skjutdörrar i duschen/badkaret för det blev väldigt blött på golvet. Bättre rengöring av takfläkten så den fungerar bättre.

Lovely clean and warm room, surprisingly large

Everything was wonderful. We asked for dinner recommendations from our check in attendant, and happily provided some local cuisine suggestions and a wonderful cafe. The hotel is immaculately restored, with thoughtful touches throughout the rooms and hallways (including design schematics for the renovation and redesign). Of all the hotels we’ve stayed at in Europe, this may be the best one. Our rooftop terrace was so charming (great views after dark), the ac is SCREAMING cold (if that’s your thing) and the bed is EXTRA comfortable in the cold AC. Complimentary water tops it off, and a mini bar in room is a nice touch. The bathroom is the only complaint I had, as the toilet seat didn’t really fit the toilet it was attached to. I wish I took photos, but I did not!

The room and staff were lovely until Thursday night when apparently there was a club below, very loud music and bass until early into the morning, got not sleep before an international flight the next morning. The hotel could have provide some information before hand, too nice of a hotel for that.

Trevlig och originell inredning med fina materialval. Fin utsikt över Operan. Sköna sängar! Tyst!

Everything was great other than the fact that we could hear the other guests in the hallway quite loudly. Location is central, room was clean and the people very helpful.

Liked the older traditional look of the hotel except for the radiator noise which was continuous throughout our stay… Otherwise it was the perfect venue.

This is a quirky, unique property in a historic building. We liked our room, which has a comfortable bed, balcony looking out over the city, skylights, and antique furniture. The bathroom is small, but functional. Our only criticisms are that the wireless Internet did not work, and even though we arrived at midnight, the front desk person refused our request for a late check out. Free breakfast came with our meal, but we did not take advantage of that.

Amazing room with terrace with views Perfect location Friendly and helpful staff Comfortable bed Excellent AC Loved it

Two balconies, beautiful views of the Opera House, spacious, stylish, grand old building. Friendly staff and perfect location!

A solid property to stay but the rooms were small and lacked a place to sit other than inside one's room on the bed. The area it is located in is very central.

I booked a city view room online only to get a king with skylights. Charming older hotel.

Loved our stay! The staff is amazing, the location was wonderful - will stay here again.

We had a fantastic time at Callas House. The hotel is so beautiful and we got a view to the wonderful Opera House. The personnel at the hotel were very helpful and nice. The breakfast restautant is gorgeous. Thank you for our stay.

The staff were good, the internet was terrible, the place looked tired and we didn’t get the room we booked. One of the couples we were with had a terrible smell coming from the bathroom. They were given a new room the next day. We were disappointed in this hotel.

You cannot find a place like this hotel anymore. Great building, period room/suite with solid wood accents, and period armoire. Amazing view from large window of the Budapest Opera House. Close to the Rodéo Drive of Budapest with Gucci, Omega, Rolex stores. Adjacent to cozy bars and pubs featuring Hungarian dishes as well as all others. BUT, most appealing was the receptionist/conciege tandem of Laslo and lidikó. Beyond helpfu, beyond friendly, their responsiveness and timely introductions to Budapest made the start of our 50th anniversary travel memorable.

A perfect stay in Budapest. Excellent breakfast in a beautiful downstairs restaurant. Staff at hotel are helpful, so friendly and very responsive. They helped us with dinner reservations and recommendations, booking taxi to airport and overall tips on things to do and see. They made our visit very special. Great location near the Opera House and very central to everything. We easily walked everywhere but the subway is also at your doorstep. I’d stay again if I came back to Budapest.

Great support from the management. Special recognition to Ms Fruzsina, who was very helpful,and professional. Would go back. Great location.

The reception was a great experience. We were checked in early and treated warmly. He was very helpful in the booking of our thermal bathes experience and even offered towels to take along. We had a very early flight, he arranged transfer for 6 to the airport that was very prompt and reliable. We loved our room, it was large and well appointed. The included breakfast was better than expected with hot and cold options. We would highly recommend this confidently located and reasonable hotel.

This is a lovely little hotel right across the street from the Opera House in downtown Budapest. I believe they have 44 rooms. And the staff is excellent. They are helpful. We had an executive king size room that was exquisite. The view was wonderful. The breakfast in the morning was the best breakfast we have ever had. Any the staff The girl who worked the night of the third in the morning of the fourth deserves a huge race because she is so helpful so willing to carry a bag do anything and she is extremely talented and very calm and very, very, very happy to explain things to you I would recommend this to anybody and The cleanliness the hospitality was excellent. It used to be a home that was four stories, and the people lived there in the first two levels and rented out rooms and the other levels and then after the war, it was lost to the Germans and then I don’t know how many years ago they came in and established a hotel and if you’d like something that is not a Marriott a Hilton but a classy hotel that’s personalized and has so much history. It’s the place to go the callous house hotel is 10 stars plus we were there May 3 and left the fourth of this year if you’re going to Budapest or you’re going on a river cruise use this as a hotel because it puts you in Central downtown Budapest and it’s only a cab ride to where the biking ships leave. Thank you. Hope you enjoy it if you ever do go we loved it, Sally and Denny third fourth of May 2025.

We were greeted at reception by a lovely lady, she was very friendly and very helpful. The rooms are beautiful and very well equipped. The hotel is quirky with the reception on the 3rd floor and you have to go outside to access the breakfast but it’s a stunning find. We would most definitely stay again!!

Great location!

We had a fantastic time at Callas House. The hotel is so beautiful and we got a view to the wonderful Opera House. The personnel at the hotel were very helpful and nice. The breakfast restautant is gorgeous. Thank you for our stay.

Fab place right next to the Opera house ver central absolute a Gem

Wunderbares Hotel in Stadtzentrum. Schöne Zimmer in historischen Haus, freundliches Personal und ideale Umgebung.

In a great location on Andrassy Avenue and right across the way from the opera house. Friendly staff. Nice shower.

Perfect location for attend the opera event, just next to opera house. Spacious room with classical decorations. Nice breakfast in beautiful restaurant at ground floor of the building. The recieptionist was very friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel in a great location next to the Opera house in Budapest

Old world hotel in convenient location to sites, shopping and restaurants. Lovely staff. Very nice breakfast. Comfortable unique rooms.

Excellent stay. Beautiful property and great breakfast.

Beautiful room with a great dual terrace view to the Opera and to Andrassy. Staff were helpful and kind. Definitely recommend this hotel as the location is great and the on site restaurant was also beautiful with very good Hungarian fare.

Poor breakfast

Terrible, absolutely not 4 stars! Limescale and mould in the shower, bad breakfast.

Super lækkert værelse med adgang til tagterrasse, hvor man kunne ønske sig nogle bedre lounge stole etc. Morgenmad er lidt kedeligt og mangler aircondition i restaurant om sommeren. Hotellet ligger godt og centralt og gå afstand til de fleste seværdigheder.

We loved the Callas House! The rooms are gorgeous and extremely spacious. We enjoyed the morning breakfast, but also dined at the cafe for dinner, which was quite good. It’s a perfect location for sightseeing. And, what could be more magical than being literally next door to the Opera House?

Best location on Andrássy next door to opera house. Across from the W at half the price@ great breakfast is included. Excellent mix of old world charm with a every modern convenience

Very good location next to the Opera. Large and comfortable room. Hotel is on 3rd floor of building, but there is a lift. Breakfast is in café on ground floor, which is open in the morning just for hotel guests. Relatively limited breakfast selection.

The location is great in a very elegant area of town, walkable distance from many tourist locations but also close to transport options. The room was beautiful and clean. The breakfast (included in the price) at the downstairs Callas Cafe was disappointing and the ambience sad despite the beautiful decor. Reception area at Callas house is tight and could benefit from seating for waiting guests and a proper guest bathroom
