    Amazing view and setting. Felt pressured and rushed by one waiter in particular. No draught beers and pricey for what they were. There are better places for sure but great views.

    Dear Paul Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the views but are sorry to hear your experience wasn’t as expected. We’ll address your concerns about feeling rushed with our team to ensure a more relaxed and welcoming atmosphere going forward. Regarding the beer selection, we focus on supporting local small breweries and offering unique craft options. We understand this may not be for everyone, and we appreciate your input on the matter. As for the pricing, it reflects the quality of ingredients, skilled staff, and the overall service we provide, which aligns with other 5-star establishments. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide an improved experience. Best Regards Csaba Palfi Assistant Director of F&B

    Not many cocktails, the view is not that good but the venue is really nice. Cocktails were ok but too expensive for the amount they give.
    High Note Sky BarResponded on February 4, 2025
    Dear Alessandro Thank you for your visit and sharing your opinion. Based on the many guest reviews and opinions, our guests find the High Note Sky Bar cocktail selection to be satisfactory, as well the view! Our 9 thematic and 4 signature drinks may seem small, but these drinks that you will not find anywhere else, each and every one of them is the own idea of ​​our fantastically creative Bar team! In addition to all these fantastic thematic and signature drinks, the team also prepares all the well-known classic cocktails, they even fulfill individual requests, if the right ingredients are at their disposal, that is why we do not list them all. Both our prices and quantities are in line with the similar 5 star Hotels and Bars. Thank You Kind Regards Csaba Palfi Assistant Director of F&B

    Service wasn't the best. Got rushed out of a restaurant at the end of the night. Views are amazing foid was as expected small portions
    High Note Sky BarResponded on January 15, 2025
    Dear Daniel Thank you for visiting and sharing your opinion with us and the TA community. We of course accept and respect your opinion, as our guests' expectations are completely different. I am glad you were satisfied with the view, and I apologize for the service and the food. I can assure you at High Note Sky Bar, the guest comes first, which is why we always ask our guests for a last round, 15 minutes before closing, so it was strange to hear that you were rushed, but I am sorry if you felt like that. Regarding the food, from appetizers to desserts, everything is available on our menu. Your choice of Steak and Duck is a full-sized main course on our menu, and we have not yet received any guest complaints about their size. Thank you Csaba Palfi Assistant Director of F&B

    Nous avons passé un agréable moment. Nous avons mangé sur la terrasse en hauteur. Le personnel était extrêmement sympathique et la nourriture un vrai régal. Mon compagnon a décidé de la vue magnifique de la terrasse pour me demander en mariage ! Lorsque le personnel du bar en a été informé ils nous ont offert une coupe de champagne ce qui était encore plus appréciable. Nous vous remercions pour ce moment que vous avez réussi à rendre encore plus joli. Nous ne nous gêneront pas pour donner votre adresse en France.

    Dear Florian, First and foremost thank you for this wonderful review. We are extremely happy, that we were able to live up to your expectations and you had a great time at High Note SkyBar. The pleasure is ours, to be part of your engagement celebration. Besides the wonderful views, we always do our best to give an unforgettable experience to our guests. We are looking forward to welcoming you again, whenever your travels bring you back to Budapest. Best regards, High Note Skybar Team

    Très belle vue mais pas assez de chauffage en extérieur pour boire un verre. Les cocktails sont décevants pour le prix, très sucrés et peu alcoolisés. Les plats Barfood sont trop petits, 2 croquettes de fromages par assiette, c’est exagéré. Les burgers sont très bons mais minuscules. 100€ pour 2 cocktails, 2 mini burgers et 2 croquettes de fromages … un peu trop cher meme pour une belle vue. Service impeccable. Dommage le grand écran dans la salle de restaurant . Rapport qualité-prix décevant.
