As the empire waned, however, the garrisons on the Danube were increasingly subject to attacks from "barbarians" from the east, and Rome evacuated Aquincum in the early 5th century.

The historic city called Aquincum, which was located in the first century AD at the place of present day Óbuda, was the capital of the Pannonian province, occupied by the Roman conquerors.
The two sections of Aquincum, a military and civilian settlement, were located between two amphitheatres whose ruins can be seen even today.
The name of the ancient residental area and of course that of the Corinthia Aquincum Hotel named after it can be traced back to two Celtic words ("aquae quinque") which mean five sources.

 Corinthia Aquincum Hotel (Budapest, Hungary) - Hotel Reviews - TripAdvisor
I stayed at the Aquincum hotel for a long weekend over the bank holiday, I thought the hotel was clean, the staff were friendly, the rooms were a good size and the facilities were excellent.
We only stayed at The Aquincum Corninthia Hotel one evening as our hotel of first choice, Danubius Gellert, was full for the first night so as we were staying for 3 nights we did one night at Aquincum and the other two at the Gellert.
Corinthia Aquincum is an excellent hotel, however, it is probably more suited for couples that are staying for a week rather than just a weekend break as the commuting into the city centre can get a bit over the top.
