    Lovely atmosphere with beautiful views. Gorgeous food and cocktails. Only complaint would be the constant in and out of the doors and people not closing the doors made the inside very cold! It is expensive but it is a beautiful place to have a drink.

    Loved it, was my Father’s birthday and they made him feel very special. We went down to the reception area were we were magically entertained by the pianist which actually made our afternoon. Ambiance and service and juice made it so beautiful. Would definitely recommend, one of my highlights of my stay in Budapest xx

    Views looked great bar area was very nice but we were shown a table right opposite the bar which was very crowded ok if you just wanted a drink but unsuitable for dining we asked to be moved but the staff said they were too busy and offered a table downstairs which we declined and left never got to sample the food
    High Note Sky BarResponded 3 days ago
    Dear Paul Thank you for your visit sorry to read that we were unable to fully meet your expectations, about your dinner and found the bar too crowded. Looking back at your reservation, there was no comment/request or message about your intention to have dinner, so my colleagues chose the table according. After an internal investigation and checking the camera footage, I believe that my colleagues did their best, by making a table for 4 people on the Bar side for you, but you did not accept it, as did the option of our restaurant downstairs. On the day of your visit, even though the a large number of reservations, my colleagues did their best to provide the best possible service, when we served 250+ guests, despite the inclement weather. Kind Regards Csaba Palfi Assistant Director of F&B

    The bar is charming and has a good atmosphere, but I think it is a bit excessive to pay more than €120 for a couple of cheese croquettes and some duck with mashed potatoes. Without wine, we only had a couple of beers and a glass of local prosecco. I think they are taking advantage of tourists.
    High Note Sky BarResponded 7 days ago
    Dear Carlos Thank you for visiting us and speaking highly of High Note Sky Bar. However, I am sorry to read your opinion about our prices and that you feel we are taking advantage of tourists. High Note Sky Bar is a special place, in a special location, and we offer a selection of food and drinks made from quality ingredients, served by excellent staff! We emphasize providing a memorable experience for our guests with both food and drinks. Considering the positives mentioned above and the fact that we are a 5-star hotel, we believe that our prices are in line with similar 5-star establishments. However, we know that we cannot please everyone, but if someone does not like something, feels bad, or finds us expensive, we respect that. Kind Regards Csaba Pálfi Assistant Director of F&B

    Second visit to the Sky Bar. The views are great and I think this is what you are paying for, although the large TV screens spoilt it a bit for me. The food and drinks were nice but very expensive for what they were and the service was ok but not the best , especially given the prices.
    High Note Sky BarResponded 7 days ago
    Dear Rosalind Thank you for your visit, especially for coming to us for the second time in a short time. High Note Sky Bar is not only open during regular opening hours, as we are also an excellent event location, considering the characteristics of the place. We host many small and large events, where the televisions that bother you can be part of the package if the dear customer requires it. The quality of our food/drinks and service, as well as the wonderful panorama, have determined our prices, but we believe that they are in line with the same 5-star establishments. Thank You Kind Regards Csaba Pálfi

    If you want a quiet rooftop bar with the Basilica in the background, just go, and have a drink. :)

    Dear Jakub Thank you for visiting us and writing your opinion. The opinions of all our dear guests matter, but since we do not have the same taste, they are completely subjective, we accept and respect this 100%, but based on the majority of other guests' comments, different strokes for different folks. :-) Thank you Pálfi Csaba Assistant Director of F&B
