reviews

Good: Excellent hotel, I would stay again

Bad: Everything was great, but the breakfast was crazy every day I went - Too many people, not enough tables, loud... Food was ok though.

Good: The location is perfect if you arrive by car and want to explore Budapest using public transport. The M2 metro line is 100m from the hotel entrance with good connections to other lines closer to the city centre. The ticket terminal is on the street level not down in the station. A large variety of buses and trolleybuses are also available next to the nearby metro station. I would suggest using the underground parking lot to park your car. Costs ~6€ for 24h. The payment machine is at the exit of the parking lot. The environment around the hotel could be a lot cleaner and better maintained. Lots of trash around and uncut grass. The room was clean but not very spacious. It had a fridge and a balcony (2nd floor). The internet is pretty fast. Around 200Mbps down and 160Mbps up. The AC is mentioned but doesn’t work even though you have a console in your room it doesn’t do anything. I asked the staff about it and they brought me a ventilator. That was pretty useful since it was 33 degrees C outside. Breakfast had a lot of variety and everything I tried was good. The staff in the breakfast room are always refilling everything, cleaning tables and setting tables when guests leave. So overall - good value for money. Bad: The AC that didn’t work and the surroundings around the hotel could be maintained better.

Good: The rooms were clean and well-stocked with amenities. It was a quiet room even though the hotel was crowded for an event, so that was nice. The staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful on a busy day. The location was perfect for events at the arena and the hotel was connected well with the Metro line. Bad: Our stay was during an unseasonable warm day, and the air conditioning was nowhere near strong enough even on full blast, so the room was slightly too warm for comfortable sleep. The layout for breakfast was confusing, cereals were of poor quality and milk was warm, and the offerings were limited for vegetarians.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Excellent Stay at Danubius Hotel Arena! We highly recommend Danubius Hotel Arena for anyone visiting Budapest! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by friendly and professional staff, and the hotel itself was immaculately clean throughout our stay. One of the highlights was the fantastic breakfast buffet – offering a delicious mix of local Hungarian dishes and European favorites. The hotel also has a restaurant with room service, though we didn’t personally try the food, so we can’t comment on the taste. The amenities are top-notch: ✅ Indoor swimming pool ✅ Well-equipped gym ✅ Sauna access with complimentary robe All included in your stay! 📍Location is unbeatable – right next to the red line metro, making it easy to reach most of the major tourist attractions. It’s also just a 5-minute walk to a major bus station, a few stops away from Arena Mall, and close to Budapest Keleti (central train station). 🪟 We were surprised (in a good way!) that the windows open, even on the 8th floor – something rare but very appreciated. 🛏️ The room is on the smaller side, but well-designed and equipped with everything you need. For drivers, there is convenient hotel parking available at £15, or a nearby arena garage for just £7. Overall, this hotel made our Budapest experience even better – a clean, comfortable, and well-located base for exploring the city. Would definitely return!

Good: Good location,close to metro station Bad: Nothing

Good: Great location and the breakfast buffet had a good selection of food Bad: Food in the restaurant wasn’t great at all.

Great hotel 4th time we have stayed here

Your continued patronage is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you back for many more visits in the future. Warm regards, R. János Danubius Hotel Arena

Good: Breakfast had varoius plates Delicious food Good service Clean rooms Comfort bed

Good: the metro near and the hotel of course

Good: All Bad: N/A

Good: Very close to the venue, we attended a concert. The breakfast was fine and had ample choices. Bad: The AC was not working and the beds were not that comfortable

In a good location for the puskas arena and keleti train station, friendly staff and a nice room.

This is my third time staying at this hotel. The location is absolutely brilliant – right next to the tube, and the red line is super convenient for getting around. That’s always been a big plus and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. However, there are a few issues that made this stay less comfortable. The Wi-Fi was very unstable, which was quite inconvenient for someone like me who needs to work and is often in online meetings. The gym and swimming pool had an overpowering smell of disinfectant, which made it quite unpleasant to use those facilities. This time, I’m not sure if it was due to a competition or just bad luck, but I ended up on the same floor as a group tour. From around 5 or 6 in the morning, I could constantly hear doors opening and closing, which made it clear that the soundproofing isn’t great – the doors might be too thin. I stayed for four nights and barely got any proper sleep. That said, the staff were lovely – very professional and friendly. The breakfast was clean and fine, but exactly the same every day. So after a few days, I honestly didn’t feel like eating it anymore. Overall, I’d still recommend this hotel, mainly for its excellent location and good service. But I do think it would make a huge difference if you could invest in thicker doors or better insulation to improve the noise situation.

Good: Great place to stay and go around Budapest. Bad: Breakfast was fair; most of the food including eggs were salty.

Excellent staff and outstanding service.

We truly value your opinion and look forward to welcoming you back to the Danubius Hotel Arena in the future. Warm regards, R. János Danubius Hotel Arena

Good: The hotel's location makes it perfect for visiting Arena Budapest for concerts. Easy access, nearby parking—everything is made easy for a nice family Iron Maiden experience. I have already been here and will come again. Bad: The triple room is a bit small, but it didn't spoil the overall experience.

Good: Exceptionally polite, helpful, and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast with a huge amount of different types of food. Comfortable bed with nice linen. Bad: The bathroom was a bit tight on space, water pressure very weak, and the shower drain didn't work well causing water buildup. While the hotel itself is clean and well appointed, the gym equipment, while appreciated, could use a modern update.

Bad: No aircpn in the room despite it being functional in the hotel. We complained twice and were fobbed off by the staff - it appears they don't want to allow guests to have th option of having a cool room in very hot weather

Good: Awesome location, functional room with a great view, great breakfast with lots of food options.

Everything just fine no problems at all

Good: The hotel is clean. The staff is OK. The room was a little bit tiny but OK. Bad: The lack of space in the room

Good: The staff at the reception were very polite patient and helpful.we

Good: Very good location for concerts at the arena. Parking very close.

Good: I like that it was very clean, the beds were very comfortable, it had a sauna, and a swimming pool! Agi who works the bar sometimes was very kind and hospitable. She really was nice to chat with about Budapest and just super friendly which is not the case with everyone 😊. And Istvan at the check-in desk was very pleasant too! When others smile it’s welcoming! And best of all was the location. The metro was 3min walk nearby, lots of bus and even a mall 2 minutes by bus up the road. In addition it’s close to the most popular Thermal Bath which is Szechenyi. It was convenient. Bad: The rooms although clean needs a refresher and WiFi was dodgy as I worked in my room a few hours while there.

Bad: The temperature in the room was very hot and despite trying to contact reception they were not picking up the phone

Good: Friendly staff and great breakfast Bad: Nothing

Good: The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and the breakfast was good, we found options even for our two year old toddler. It has everything needed for a pleasant stay. Plus we had a very good risotto for dinner in the hotel's restaurant. Bad: No restaurants near by, except the one in the hotel, but there is a very close metro station.

Good: Excellent hotel at good location.The staff was very friendly and the hotel had great facilities. Bad: N/A

Good: All well, friendly staff, comfy room. Bad: N/A

Good: A decent hotel, in a good location - next to metro and bus station. Keleti railway station is also one metro stop away. There is a swimming pool, but we hadn't had time to try it out. Breakfast was very good too, with lots of choice. Beds were quite comfy. There was also a nice welcome touch - some cookies. Bad: As the hotel is quite big, breakfast room can become crowded, but it was OK - still enough place.

Rooms need renovation and elevators as well

Needed to get advice on best attractions to visit. I've been in Hungary for a few days now and it's my first time, but I have to say Bianka at reception was absolutely amazing. She was so knowledgeable and took the time to guide me on which ones are interesting. Honestly she was the best person I've come across during my trip to help and I've managed to plan a few more interesting things as a result. Thank you so much Bianka! :)

Good: Very good breakfast

Friendly staff

Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Danubius Hotel Arena in the future! Best regards, Réka K. Danubius Hotel Arena

Good: Breakfast, nearby metro and tram stations, helpful and polite personel, comfy rooms Bad: None

Good: The best :)

Rooms & Location are good enough for me. But in terms of service, the hotel lack of iron & ironing board. I have requested for two days and they failed to fulfill me and other conference member needs. Not recommended for big official conference group especially for those who travelled more than 7 hours to get into this country.

Good: You can make coffee and tea in the room, and you have air conditioning, which was very pleasant. My daughter spent a lot of time in the swimming pool because it was very hot then. The metro station is almost next to the hotel. Breakfast offers a variety of food, and the staff is very nice and helpful. Budapest is a very green city! We had a great walk around the area. To be honest, I like Budapest more than Prague - people are nicer :)

Good: The location is great. Breakfast was good.

I don't really understand some of these negative reviews here. I've had a beautiful stay. It was first experience for me with this hotel and our room was clean, beds were very comfy. Girl at the reception was very nice to me when I did a check-in. And we appreciated swimming pool for hotel guests. Plus metro is like 100 m from the hotel. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Budapest.

Nice and clean rooms, fantastic breakfast buffet. Stuff very friendly and helpful

Good: Staff were great Breakfast was good

Good: room and breakfast Bad: nothing

Good: Location, good food, clean, comfortable room, friendly staff

It is great location and hotel. The immediate area not so good

Very nice hotel Breakfast 10/10 Best hotel gym I ever saw xD Metro station is 30m from hotel 👌👌👌

Good: The staff were nice. Atmosphere was great Bad: It was a bit far from the city centre, but metro station being right next to the hotel made it easily accessible

Good: Very good hotel Good food and good staff

I could only suggest the best. Close to P+R ( underground car parking 6-7€/day) Metro M2 within 5 min you are in city centre( city centre metro doesn't have any lift so be carefull when travelling with stroller). The staff is great with 8 floors. The reception is always busy. The service is great. I can definitely recommend especially for families with toddlers or kids to stay at Danubius.

Good: Mic dejun excelent Liniste si relaxare la piscina

Good: Hotel was very nice, breakfast was great! Nothing negative to say :)

It's a very big hotel near the Ferenc Puskas metro station, and it's pretty easy to get to the center of the town. The room is big, with a very big bed, great service, and housekeeping at 9. The hotel also has a gym, a pool, and a sauna. Very friendly people who work at reception and in pool area. Great.

Five stars because they have a pool and sauna 🙃

Good: Great stay! The hotel has excellent facilities and is very clean. The fitness room is well-equipped, and the swimming pool is warm and spotless. I especially appreciated that the sauna was free to use. Parking in the garage costs around 6 euros per day, which is reasonable. The location is also convenient — the metro station is just 100 meters away, and it takes only 10 minutes to reach the city center by metro. Highly recommended! Bad: Bathroom is small

Good: Hotel was amazing, room was clean, with nice views of the city.

I would recommend this hotel to everyone.

We liked our stay at the hotel on all levels. The affordable price for a bed and breakfast, which is extremely diverse, everyone will find something for themselves. The room is large enough for two people and the special feature of the 4th floor is that the room also has a balcony. On the left you can see the Arena where we went to the Cyndi Lauper concert. Behind the hotel is a football stadium. Given the proximity of the metro, the entrance is immediately as soon as you leave the hotel, which makes this hotel special. You may not be in the city center, but with the metro you are there in less than 5 minutes. There is a garage under the hotel, which does not belong to the hotel, but anyone can park. We were parked for 4 days and I only remember that the amount we had to pay was ridiculous, so very affordable and safe parking. The bed is comfortable, as are the pillows, the rooms are tidy, there are more than enough towels in the bathroom. The price of accommodation includes the use of the swimming pool that is part of the hotel. The staff is friendly and ready to help at any time. There is also a Spar near the hotel if you need a drink or food, while the largest shopping center in Budapest is about a kilometer and a half away, in my opinion. We went home satisfied, simply getting on the highway to Croatia, with the desire to return as soon as possible, because it's not enough to see the beauty of Budapest just once in your lifetime.

Good: Everything?

Good: The location is excellent, in the center of city. We tried the restaurant, the food is of excellent quality. Nice, friendly staff

Good: Great stuff,friendly and helpful,i would recommend this place✌️You can use the pool and sauna from 6:30-21:30

Good: Comfortable room, very clean and nice

Good: Excellent hotel, rooms are really clean and the breakfast is great. Perfect location with a car park and subway station plus public transport 2 minutes away. Walking distance to the mall or Keleti station ( at least for us but we enjoy walking). You get access to gym, pool and sauna. 5 stars:) Bad: All was great for us travelling with kids. Nothing to complain about.

Good: Perfect conditions all great. Bad: Nothing to mention.

Good: The room was nice, clean, had a great view, quite big room. It had everything you need. We could not complain of anything. We went to a concert at the Budapest Arena and the location of the hotel is just perfect for that. You just have to walk 5 minutes and you are in your room. Bad: -

Good: The location , cleanliness of room, and staff were very helpful.

Good: Everything at the pool and gym was 10!😍 We loved it. My son enjoyed very much our short stay and we both liked your staff and everything that was provided there.

Good: Breakfast was good and location is perfect since metro is 10m away and you are connected with center of city by metro. Bad: We asked few times for room cleaning and it wasn't responded immediately. We waited for day-two.

Good: Location was next to metro so easy to travel. Staff and hotel was excellent for £127 for 3 nights. Pool was lovely as well Bad: Everything went very well no complaints

Good: Great location and

Good: The kind stuff Nice buffet Bad: Had a problem with the bathroom facility

Bad: The swimming pool temperature was not 27°C as stated on the wall. It was colder and we could not take our child into the water.

Good: Not my first stay here, it was perfect as always, the staff is polite and kind and the room is comfortable, clean and well equipped.

Good: Location (next to the metro) and breakfast was really great! Bad: The water in the pool could be warmer.

Super friendly staff at reception and everywhere. Always open to help. Breakfast is delicious, freshly cooked and plenty. Dinner was marvellous and I can only recommend to enjoy the great taste. They also have a huge training gym with a size I have never seen in any other hotel. Spa is just next door to enjoy. Easy to get there with public transport.

Good: Good location. Bad: Close to the main road.

Very good stay would recommend to fellow travelers would like to see a reading lounge

Very nice staff and nice facilities.

Shopping (close to 2 Malls )& transportation, 1 station to train station!

Good: breakfast Bad: autopark

Good: Good location for Hungexpo and city access. The underground service is right at the hotel. My room was clean and comfortable with tea, water and biscuits treat. Breakfast buffet was very good - only peach juice, my favourite normally in Hungary, was missing.

Good: Location Bad: No thermal pool

Good: Abundant breakfast, clean and comfy rooms.

Good: Excellent location, attentive and friendly staff, good breakfast, hot water. Bad: Nothing

Good: The hotel is nice and clean. The breakfast was great with a lot of different food options and it was tasty. It’s well connected to the city center with metro station M2. Bad: In the room we could hear the other people next to us talking. I think it was trough ventilation. The pool is clean, but a bit cold. The water is cold as well.

Good: Great location (50m from metro station), and very nice staff. We used sauna and pool and it was very clean. Breakfast was great! Bad: Me and my girlfriend had a two single bed room. We could probably ask for one bed for both so i think this is not hotel fault.

Good: The hotel is right next to the metro station. In less that 20 minutes you are in the heart of the city. The staff are very nice, friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was great. We were traveling by car and there is a big parking just behind the hotel. Also, if you like to run, there is an awesome park/stadium just behind the hotel which was great for our training. We really enjoyed our stay.

Good: The staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. Bad: The swimming pool water at 26 degrees was a bit cold, and it was hard to get a spot in the parking lot.

Good: Pooool! Bad: -

Good: The location worked for me because I had a dog and the park across the road was handy. The breakfast was excellent each morning. Europeans have mastered pastries. Dinner restaurant food was excellent.

Good: The location was great, as it is very near to all types of public transport. Regarding the room, it was extremely clean and well organized. The staff was efficient in fast in keeping everything tidy during our stay. The staff in general was super friendly, kind, and helpful. To add, the breakfast was phenomenal, with a great variety of options for all types of diets and tastes. Would definitely recommend, as well as, visit once again! Bad: /

Great location!

Good: The hotel is very new and quite modern, and clean. Price is exceptionally good. Bad: The location was not very convenient. There's almost nothing within walking distance without taking a cab.
