    It’s a great view. Bit showy. We booked a table under the covered terrace and they put us outside (seems there was a function on). Pop in for a drink to get the view but don’t bother eating is my recommendation !

    The bar was empty and there were a choice of seating options. We asked to move to a higher table as we were originally seated on a low table. After we had ordered some drinks we proceeded to move and then were asked twice to move a different table even though there was about 4 people in the bar. Based on the attitude of the staff we wouldn’t return.

    Great place and service. Excellent food - and don’t forget the views. Wish we had been in the other side though and away from the door.

    Customer service wasn’t good for a 5 star hotel, staff not very attentive. Over rated for the price.

    Επισκεφθήκαμε το High Note Sky Bar για ένα χαλαρό ποτό με θέα προς την Πέστη και τη Βούδα. Η ατμόσφαιρα, η θέα και τα κοκτέιλ που επιλέξαμε ήταν εξαιρετικά, ενώ οι τιμές τους ήταν λογικές, δεδομένης της συνολικής εμπειρίας. Θα πρότεινα ανεπιφύλακτα το Blossom & Bubbles ως μια πιο γλυκιά επιλογή, καθώς και – από τα κοκτέιλ – το Frank Sinatra ή το Amy Winehouse για κάτι πιο ισορροπημένο. Το προσωπικό ήταν ευγενέστατο και εξυπηρετικό, και δεν αντιμετωπίσαμε κανένα απολύτως πρόβλημα.

    Food, service and atmosphere were outstanding. Cocktails are extremely small pours and quite watered down. My gin martini was -50ml and I’m guessing there were 10ml of gin. This aspect was quite disappointing.
    High Note Sky BarResponded on May 14, 2025
    Dear Joe Thank you for your visit. We are thrilled to hear that you were pleased with the food, service, and atmosphere. However, we are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the size and quality of our cocktails. As a cocktail bar, we focus on the quality and presentation of our drinks. Our Gin Martini is prepared with 50ml of Gin and 10ml of Dry Vermouth, unless otherwise requested by the guest, and we are always happy to adjust the recipe based on individual tastes. We take all guest feedback seriously, and we will look into this matter to ensure that the consistency of our drinks meets the high standards we aim for. Thank you once again for your valuable comments. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon. Best regards Csaba Palfi Assistant Director of F&B
