My Honest Review of 5-Star Hotel | Anantara New York Palace

A trailer of of Anantara New York Palace Budapest moments that truly lifts my spirits. From the bellhop to the front desk receptionist.

Every detail surprised me from the moment I walked in, when the lifts took us up, it was yet another wow, wow, wow moment. The hotel’s service was top-notch, 100% truly the best! I've travelled to many countries in Europe, but this place is where I experienced genuine hospitality.

Our room number is 507, Executive suite with terrace was incredible and worth every penny.
When I opened the door, I was totally surprised. The tea table had everything I could ask for, with a fantastic selection of high-quality teas. The kettle was spotless, just like the new ones you buy. I loved brewing the teas, relaxing on the sofas, and reading the books provided by the hotel.

The chocolate cakes are freshly baked every day, and the strawberries are sliced and brought to our room accompanied by a warm smile and joyful birthday greetings. I celebrated my birthday with my husband ItalyPaul on this expansive balcony that provides 360-degree views, resembling a rooftop. It’s truly incredible! This experience is unforgettable and totally worth it!

JING Tea Jasmine Pearl and Jade Sword Green Tea are hands down the best flavors ever! The only hotel we stayed at offered a selection of premium brands and flavors that were genuinely delightful, especially since we're tea enthusiasts! I discovered that the UK also sells JING TEA on the website jingtea.com/collections/chinese-tea. I spent £60 to get free delivery in the UK. I'm so thrilled!

The pillows at the hotel are super comfy, and I had a great night's sleep. The bathrooms are spacious and exceptionally clean, featuring a large mirror, hand wash, soap, shower, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, and a hairbrush. The toilet paper is of premium quality, and all the amenities provided truly reflect a genuine 5-star service. I was also pleasantly surprised by the jacuzzi and all the impressive features!

The spa here is incredibly relaxing. The pools are sufficiently warm and appear to be clean. Additionally, there is a sauna, a gym, and massage services available. When we arrived at the pool area, there were a few couples who graciously allowed us to enjoy our time together. They were all very kind to us. Before back to our room, we noticed they were in the sauna, and we expressed our gratitude for their kindness, saying thank you and good night.

The hotel staff are exceptionally friendly and always willing to assist with a smile. As hotel guests, we were able to bypass the long queue outside the iconic New York Café, gaining immediate VIP access as guests of the hotel to the most renowned café in the world!

The most unforgettable 5-star hotel, café and restaurant I've ever been to was absolutely the leading luxury hotel in the world. I gave it a perfect score of 10 out of 10!

I will create a separate video showcasing the hotel’s breakfast. After we finish our breakfast, we can choose to check out either online or at the front desk, depending on our preference.

We also made a reservation for lunch at the New York Café, but since we aren't feeling very hungry, we opted for something light and ordered two glasses of iced tea, which is quite delightful! So refreshing! After that, we plan to take a walk to a large supermarket for some snack shopping, and I will also feature Hungarian supermarket snacks in the next video.

Ubers in Budapest are roughly half the price of those in Paris for a one-way ride. On the other hand, Ubers in Copenhagen are the priciest. Overall, Ubers in Budapest are super polite and helpful, and the fares are quite reasonable for multiple trips.

We are bringing smiles back to homes, and we will definitely return very soon.

Looking forward to seeing you in the next episode, which will showcase the local supermarket and snacks. Thank you for watching :)

The most beautiful café in the world – New York Café, Budapest

The most unforgettable 5-star hotel in Budapest, I've ever visited was simply incredible. From the bellhop to the front desk receptionist, Gergo was both professional and courteous. He even allowed us to check in early, which we truly appreciated. Our room wasn’t ready yet, so as hotel guests, we could skip the long line outside.

The staff that served us had big smiles, and you can see it in the video as they repeatedly said to enjoy! I ordered the famous New York café chocolate cake with freshly cut fruits, which were absolutely delicious and of high quality! I requested a candle to celebrate my husband's birthday, but the staff surprised me with a live rendition of the happy birthday song! The atmosphere was amazing and unforgettable!

We thoroughly enjoyed everything at this most beautiful café in the world.
The coffee tasted great, and the small cookies were adorable. The coffee, named 24-carat gold cappuccino, left your lips sparkling with gold after just a few sips. The live musicians were fantastic, and the beautiful atmosphere provided an incredible experience.

In this lovely café, you can relax with a drink without being pressured to order food, and a 15% service charge is automatically added to the bill. It’s all worth it for the luxurious experience! It’s like buying a ticket to a museum, but it includes drinks and desserts.

The pot of jasmine green tea had a lovely fragrance. I ordered an additional jasmine green tea, as it is quite enjoyable before checking into the hotel room.

Do not miss this iconic moment; be sure to capture some photos :)

Look forward to seeing you in the next episode, which will feature our hotel's room tours and the nearby supermarket. Thanks for watching!

Is this the most beautiful restaurant / café in the world?

This is a true 5-star luxury hotel, café, and restaurant in the world! All the staffs featured in the video were amazing—very polite, well-mannered, professional, and knowledgeable.

We enjoyed a romantic and unforgettable dinner in Budapest. It was our first trip to Hungary, but certainly not the last; we will be returning soon :)

We stayed at the Anantara New York Palace Budapest hotel which was absolutely fantastic! I will be uploading a room tour, breakfast, and afternoon tea at the New York Café Budapest, known as the world's most beautiful café.

Our dinner reservation was set for 9 PM. We took an hour and a half, until 10:30 PM. Once again! The staffs were exceptionally polite, friendly, professional, and well-mannered. The live music played by musicians from morning until night was incredibly soothing.

The ambiance was enchanting, almost like a dream. Surprisingly, the pot of Jasmine green tea and sencha teas were authentic and delightful! The food was perfectly balanced, not overly salty, and made with very fresh ingredients.

Shockingly, the prices were quite reasonable. I celebrated my husband's birthday at the world's most beautiful restaurant in Budapest. The service from the staff, pricing, food, and drinks were all perfect—10 out of 10. It was an unforgettable dinner, reminiscent of a dream holiday.

ItalyPaul's mentioned that his birthday is also mine. Thank you for tuning in to our birthday dinner vlog. Everything is freshly made and of amazing quality. It's honestly the best atmosphere, dinner experience's I've ever had, and it instantly brings me so much happiness :)

A big thank you to the server named DOMOKOS. To my surprise, I have never encountered a server as so kindly as he is; he even took the time to clean my iPhone screen before capture multiple photos and videos, which truly astonished me. His level of thoughtfulness is remarkable, and any hotel would be fortunate to have him on their team.

Overall, this restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience, featuring high-quality meals, delightful desserts, and a selection of drinks. The beautiful interior and historical art create a stunning atmosphere, complemented by the outstanding staffs. I will certainly return and highly recommend it!!!

We're a bunch of happy couples just wanting to spread positivity and share all the good vibes with you all. Goodbye, my friends. I wish you all the luck and the very best in everything.
