Reviews of Danubius Hotel Helia's guests

Very good hotel on the bank of Danube. It has several thermal pools, perfect for relaxation. Service is definitely not at 4 star level, so if this is important to you then it's not recommended, otherwise it's a perfect place to stay in Budapest.

Good: Godt personale

Good: I loved the pool and the thermal water. The Thai massage massage was also excellent.

Helia Hotel is a well appointed where you have all the amenities you need for a relaxing, peaceful holiday from spa to city experiences close by. Easy to get around the vibrant city of Budapest thanks to its thoughtful staff.... Never any regrets!!

nice and clean rooms, rich breakfasts, excelent wellness

Good: Tout!!! Bad: rien

Good: понравилось абсолютно все

Good: Everythings.

Good: Spa and comfortable rooms As above as well as a nice quiet area of Budapest. A nice 20 minute stroll into the historic city of Budapest. Handy for transport if you don't feel like walking such as the underground metro which is only a 5 minute walk away. The staff at the hotel will only be too pleased to ring a taxi which will probarbly cost around £10 to the town centre. The breakfast at the hotel which will also cost around £10 is excellent with a large variety of healthy foods. Spoilt for choice!! All this and much more from the helpful staff make a stay at the Danubius Helia a comfortable and quiet relaxing stay as well as good value for money. I have stayed here twice now in the past 2 months an will be most definately bookig this hotel for a short stay again in June 2013.

Good: Peace and quiet, just the job after a long days work

Good: Nice hotel friendly staff Bad: Club is very clean and spa is very good

Good: All staff were exceptional. Bad: All good and would return

Good: A wonderful facility. Loved the thermal baths, massages, sauna in particular. Concierge was so very helpful. I was amazed at how casual and peaceful the hotel was. Transportation to city center was good. Bad: Everything was good , exceptional value for the money.

Good: Only 15 minutes to downtown by metro. Clean, friendly and inexpensive!

Good: We liked the spa fantastic. Don,t get it like that in australia. Would stay there again and recommend it to other travellers. Thought budapest was amazing.Loved the fantastic spread at breakfast.Bed was comfortable.

Good: Spa and location The Hotel was great with nice rooms and all the facilitys . Helpfull staff that speak good english. The Hotel was near Donau if you want to walk and see the river. Only 15 min walk fr.o.m. City center. Restaurant Tip: Troffea Grill awsome food

We stayed one week here and loved it. You can walk into town in about 15 to 20 minutes - down the banks of the Danube - and we loved doing that. Alternatively, get the 75 trolleybus outside the hotel and you're in town in 5 minutes. The leisure facilities are free for guests and we used them each day. You can book the spa facilities - body massages recommended. Hotel guests get crioissants and coffee free and can upgrade for a fee to a full breakfast. Hotel meals and drinks are relatively good value for a quality hotel. Staff are friendly. All in all we'd stay again certainly.

It was awsome!!! There is nothing else to say!!

Good: Centrally located and great spa treatments available. The cafe has great coffee, real espresso. Bad: The coffee machine was used for breakfast, not real coffee and the cafe only opens at 8:00am, so no real coffee until then. Location Tip: Very convenient location. Central in Budapest. The hotel was very convenient, there is a grocery store just across the street from the main entrance but the hotel staff didn't volunteer this info. There is also a pharmacy. The spa services were excellent. Great pedicure and massage. So many services to try, great experience. The rooms with the Danube view are amazing. The room service coffee was from a machine, as it was early in the morning, and not good.

Beautiful swimmig pools with thermal water. Breakfast included in the package needs some improvement. Upgrade TV with flat screens

Good: The employees were friendly and they speak excellent English. The swimming pools are perfect. Bad: There is some piano music in the bar but it finish very early in the evening. I would suggest to have some more entertaining program.

Good: There were a lot of things we liked a lot. If I have to pick one, I would say the food in the coffee bar. Bad: Cleaning staff knocking on your door at 8am to clean to room when you forgot to put the do-not disturb sign up Location Tip: While not immediately in the centre, public transport got you were you wanted to be. My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. While not directly in the city centre, it was very easy for us to get to any place in the city. Public transport was just brilliant. We move loved the spa. While we did not try the restaurant, the coffee bar served excellent food and wine. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Staff spoke very good English, which was very useful since neither of us spoke Hungarian. It is the first hotel where the prices of the minibar are the same as the prices of the bar. We will definitely go again

Good: СПА

Good: Very good location, friendly and helpful staff, clean and high quality.

Good: Loved the spa, and the location was good to attractions Bad: That we were required to pay cash for tour tickets.

Good: The facilities and the location are perfect. The hotel is luxury. We loved the swimming facilities. The check out time is very generous as it is until midday. Bad: Despite the fact that we booked only one night, and therefore the staff should have known that we were moving out the next day, the cleaning staff entered the room twice in the morning (around 8am however, the check out time is until midday).

it was very nice in Budapest and your hotel - thank you for all

Huge buffet breakfast fulfills any wishes, friendly staff and spa make the stay really pleasant! Not to forget the marvelous river Danube view and the one to the city.

An excellent hotel with wonderful spa amenities - the steam bath, sauna and pools. The only thing is the lack of a Web corner with a computer. There's free wifi in the lobby but if no computer. Other hotels throughout Hungary have this. This hotel charged an exorbitant amount to use the business centre for one hour's Internet use; not good enough for such a classy hotel.

Dear Mr. Mecir, Thank you very much for sharing your opinion about our Hotel and for recommending it to other travellers. We hope to have the opportunity of welcoming you in the future again. Best regards, Viktoria Boriszov yield & revenue manager

Excellent bathing and massage oppurtunity -

Good: it worth each penny. Balance between price and offer is very perfect. For me this hotel represents a standard to be: reasonable prices, excelent conditions, various addtional facilities (spa, fitness, medical center, hotel shops, cofee bars, parking, good internet connection).

Nice hotel with friendly, English-speaking staff. Although the location is not central, there are 2 bus routes with stops just outside the hotel, and the Dózsa György metro station is just a few minutes walk away.

The hotel was excellent, clean, quiet, with very good spa and pools. There is absolutely nothing I can complain about.

Good: excellent staff and good location. free wi fi was a bonus Bad: none

Good: Nature,staff,other personel,rooms,restaurant and cafe,specially SPA perfect. Thank you again

We loved our stay in Budapest, the Hotel was very close to the DAnube River, so we had nice walks everyday. It was a little distant to the centrum, but we enjoyed our walks. They had a piano player everynight, the pools with thermal waters and the gym were great after a busy day.

Good: Great hotel, very nice spa, swimming pools and sauna. Friendly staff. The location is not so perfect, however, you need to walk 10 minutes to the metro station and then still take a metro. It is not the center of the city, however, close enough to everything with the public transport. Bad: Location could be better...

Good: Near city center. Easy parking. Big rooms.

Good: Excellent location, trolleybus nr. 75 stops in front of hotel and takes you directly to Parliament, and 7 minutes walk to nearest metro station makes it great for sightseeing the very centre of Budapest. Free swimming in a pool is very useful after a long day of walk around the city. Great pricing!

Hotel was slightly out of the centre but easy walking distance of city centre

Добрый день. Впечатление от вашего отеля у меня хорошее, мне все понравилось, но почему-то не было повторного осмотра врача, хотя на ресепшен мне сказали, что доктор будет и, еще один нюанс, два раза на обед был подан не свежий салат и десерт. Но эти, не очень приятные моменты не смогли уменьшить общее, хорошее впечатление от всего, что мне вы предложили. Огромное спасибо Агнес за физиотерапию, тренеру йоги, тренеру аквааэробики и всем, всем сотрудникам отеля, которые терпеливо выслушивали меня ( я не знаю ни английский, ни немецкий, ни венгерский языки) Желаю вам дальнейшего развития и процветания. Буду рекомендовать ваш отель своим друзьям и знакомым. Еще раз спасибо. С увжением Лариса Александрова

Good: spa Bad: cafe

Good: Excellent SPA-rest, clean rooms, friendly personnel

Good: everything was excellent,they gave us an upgraded room at the same price,reception perfect,room service perfect Bad: 10 plus

Good: Nice and clean hotel. Stuff very nice and friendly. Nice room, spa, breakfast. Bad: 10minutes walk from the station was a little far with lagguages but not bad

Good: The hotel is easy to find, I was able to find it without a map and GPS navigation. The location is good. The neighbourhood is not really classy, but public transport is very close and the Margit island is just a stroll away. The hotel staff are simply excellent. During our stay there from Friday night till Sunday afternoon I have met at least 6 receptionists/concierges and all were extremely friendly and helpful. A young lady concierge also helped us by searching something on the Internet for me. The SPA center is very nice as well, it offers a relatively large pool, a couple thermal baths, sauna, etc... Excellent for relaxation after a day of walking in the city. Breakfast is adequate, not really excellent, but you don't leave hungry! Bad: Internet access is not free.

We choosed Danubius Helia because of all the different treatments including sauna, warmwater pools etc. Trollybus right outside the hotel. A short walk to Budapests great Metrosystem. Just a few minuts to the city. Close to shoppingmalls because of the metro. Our second time in Budapest and we still enjoy the town.
