Reviews of Danubius Hotel Helia's guests

Good: Great hotel in a great location with great staff Bad: Nothing

Good: Facility is spot on. Well placed and easily accessible. Staff, always helpful. Bad: Room TV remote control was a pain so couldn't really figure out how to relax in the room watching TV

Good: Comfortable Hotel on side of the river Duna with wonderful breakfast and great spa

Lovely hotel, great food.Greay gym and spa service. Big pool was shut down for maintenance so small polos were packed with all Kinds including couples who were clearly unmindful of kids being there! Rooms were standard so nothing special. One good thing was the danube river view

A great beautiful hotel with a high standards, great rooms and a very good service! About the spa services I don’t know because the swimming pool was in reconstruction however the staying was very good!

Good: Very nice room with a splendid view of the river. Very tasty breakfast and dinner, with a variety of options Bad: The fact that the swimming pool is closed in August. Also the toilet near the pool area needs an update because it does not look good at all or at least not like the rest of the hotel. Also maybe the area around the hotel can be more green with plants and flowers.

The hotel is located not far at the center of Budapest. Easy access on everything, transportation likewise. Staff are friendly and nice. Food in breakfast was delicious and has so many options in the buffet. Rooms are clean and cozy. Overall, we did have a good time and total relaxation. Definitely recommended. I do not have any photo in the hotel as all photos are taken to the tourist spots only.

Good: I like the view, the breakfast was amazing and the rooms were spacious. Bad: /

Lovely hotel, large suit over looking river. Food was fair in dining area. Good location to town. Nice spa facilities.

Good: Close to river Danube, close to significant attractions of budapest including parliament, chain bridge, Margaret island etc. Outstanding breakfast which catered to all tastes and very generous sittings early 7.00 to 9.00 and 9.30 to 11 which facilitated early and late risers. Staff were excellent 👌. Very courteous and professional. Bad: Expense of bottled water in bar. No outdoor pool facilities while staying in mid-summer. Would have liked to have seen pricing in € as well as HUF.

Good: Very good breakfast, nice staff Bad: Cleanliness of the room, swimming pool in maintenance during my stay

Good: We had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of options, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Although we were initially disappointed that the pool was under maintenance, the staff was very kind about it and offered us a nice solution, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

Good: Very modern and clean rooms, friendly staff and always willing help, comfortable bed and delicious breakfast.

Good: The food in the restaurant. The fitness, gym is amazing, the best I met. The pools were great even though one was not available. The balcony met it standard and the view of the river. The staff very friendly. It was very clean and neat. The location was all right, the bus was really close and it was easy to access everything in the city. There was a supermarket just across the street, even Rossman. There were nice restaurants in the area. The facilities in the restaurant amazing, the sofas, chairs - perfect. The whole organisation of breakfast was exceptional. The salmon was served as well as great variables of eggs. Bad: There were three lifts but you sometimes had to wait to get to your room. We could not locate stairs, only emergency exits.

Good: Superb Bad: Nothing was amazing

Good: Superb Bad: Nothing superb

Good: Verey good 👍 Bad: I'd like my room, I liked the food.

Good: Location, stuff, number, spa, breakfast. All was good

Good: Everything about this hotel is great. Such a perfect hotel. Exellent breakfast. Great location - 5 minute walk from metro station and there is bus stop 100 meters from the hotel. The hotel is located in a very peaceful, quiet and safe neigborhood and close to supermarket. Great spa and swimming pools. Very clean, Comfort and well equiped room. And above all, great service from all the hotel staff. Bad: There are no English movie/series channels on TV

We stayed at the long stay apartment and it was a treat! A superb room, super comfy, excellent view! The furniture all practical and modern, the appliances high tech! The pics dont do it justice really! The pool warm and relaxing and the breakfast really tasty! Its fully recommended!! And the stuff really polite and professional!

Good: Great food

Solid 4.5 ⭐ in my book Hotel with a business vibe, a bit tricky location if you plan to use public transportation, because the majority of the routes require either switching lines or extra walking, but if you're looking for a dipped in green, quiet area, overlooking the Danube River, this would be the perfect one. And if you're driving that's going to be easy for you. The view of the river and Margaret Island are amazing. Amenities are pretty decent, spectacular gym with multiple devices, split to 2 floors. Has a best spa, including saunas, jacuzzi (with the varying temperatures), although the swimming pool was inactive during August, which was really disappointing especially for the kids. Breakfast was very good, though repetitive, but most will be very happy with variety and coffee and drinking options as well. Staff is very accommodating and is quickly attending any issue raised. We stayed in a Junior Suite room, that was very pleasant and modern and fully compatible for our 2+2 room capacity.

Good: Helpfulness of staff, cleanliness of hotel.

Good: The different pools. Especially for the afternoon when it's 38-40° outside! Bad: The bathroom is a little small, but functional with everything needed

Good: The breakfast was excellent, the spa was also great, same as the gym. Receptionists were lovely and accommodating. We stayed during Sziget festival and it really helped us have the best festival experience. Bad: I know the cleaning staff were only trying to do their job but we had a Do not disturb sign on the door and yet we were disturbed when trying to sleep, once at the door with knocking and another time I guess we didn't respond so our room was called about the cleaning and we were woken up again. And even though we booked and paid for a late check-out, had the sign on the door, cleaning staff entered our room while we were asleep on the last day, way before our late check-out time.

Good: We were at the Sziget festival and location is fantastic Breakfast is so good with so much choice - service cannot be faulted Housekeeping are excellent- our room was well serviced Spa was still adequate even without the big pool

Good: We have been at Hélia many times. Big SPA. Super breakfast with absolut everything.Lovly big foajé.You can walk by the Donau to the Parlament and to Margareth Island. Ca 20min 👌

Good: Clean location, good breakfast, helpful staff Bad: The price :)

World recommend to everyone coming to with the pest and will definitely return Stayed in: Premium Twin Room with City View Stay length: 2 night(s)

Good: The property was newly renovated and was incredibly clean and looked amazing. The staff were so helpful and pleasant. Bad: The rooms didn’t come with an iron or steamer and I had to wait a few times for the ironing room. Also, the walls were pretty thin. Even though it was quiet we could hear everything that happened in the hallway.

The only slight negative is the hotel's remote location. Bolt, Uber and buses are readily available and fairly inexpensive. Cheaper still is the enjoyable riverside 30-40 minute walk.

Good: Location, breakfast, staff

Good: Perfect location, nice stuff, incredibly good food. Bad: There was an inch of dust on the furniture and the carpet wasn't vacuumed

Good: Room, pools, staff, food, location Bad: None!!!

Good: Amazing breakfast buffet.

Good: Everything except the price. Bad: The price

We had a wonderful stay at Danubius Hotel Helia in Budapest with my family last week. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, with friendly and helpful staff who made our stay enjoyable. We loved the relaxing atmosphere, comfortable rooms, and great facilities. It was also a convenient place to stay while exploring Budapest. Overall, we had a great family experience and would definitely consider staying here again. Highly recommended for families visiting Budapest!

Great hotel, highly recommended ❤️❤️

Wonderful stay with beautiful Danube views ❤️ We’ve just come back from our holiday and absolutely loved every minute of our stay at Danubius Hotel Helia. The hotel has recently been beautifully renovated, so everything feels fresh, modern and sparkling new. Our Premium Double Room with Danube views was superb — comfortable, spotlessly clean and with the most beautiful views. We had lovely, restful sleeps and waking up to the river and Margaret Island view was such a treat. Watching the sunset from the room in the evening was equally lovely. The daily housekeeping was excellent, and breakfast offered a great variety of both hot and cold options, with plenty of choice throughout our stay. The staff were also consistently polite, friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the swimming pool was being renovated during our visit. However, the hotel kindly offered free access to their sister hotel, Ensana Thermal Margaret Island, which was a lovely alternative. The rooftop outdoor pool was perfect in the summer heat, and the indoor thermal baths and sauna were fantastic. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend the Helia. Personally, because of the larger spa facilities at Ensana Thermal, I might choose to stay there next time, but the Helia is equally lovely and has fantastic access to Budapest city centre. We would definitely return! ❤️

Good: The location was great, the staff was friendly and professional. Food was always good quality and although the swimming pool wasn’t operating, we were able to use their sister hotel’s spa as well on the island.

Good: Location, design Bad: -

Good: Breakfast was exceptional, liked the location and view, even if the location was little bit far from downtown, otherwise everything else justified it

Good: Very good hotel Bad: Nothing

Clean rooms great facilities wonderful breakfast and food in general. Massages were amazing the lady is brilliant ! The pools are great too. Definitely recommend the hotel ⭐️

Good: Breakfast was amazing Staff were always helpful, polite and friendly. The spa was great - quiet and clean. Using the spa after check out was very uncomplicated and appreciated. The room was clean and well stocked. The shower was big and a pleasure to use. The complimentary flavoured water/ice tea in th foyer was great - we used it multiple times a day.

Good: Comfortable, clean, spacious room. Great breakfast. Lovely spa. Gowns and slippers given. Water always available to get hydrated. Luminous spaces in the hall.

Swimming pol was not perfect. And the cleaning of the room was not good. Stayed in: Premium Double Room, City View Stay length: 1 night(s)

Good: All round an excellent hotel, great breakfast. Wellness centre well equipped and all staff were excellent. Near bus routes and Margaret Island Bad: Nothing really good stay

Good: Everything Bad: Nothing

Good: The staff were so polite. So clean. The spa was excellent. Bad: Nothing

Good: Schon 3 mal in diesem Hotel. Für Autofahrer super. Verbindung in die Stadt auch praktisch. In der Nähe ein gutes Restaurant. Ein Hotel, wo man sich entspannen kann.

Good: Interior is great! Bad: Exterior of hotel needs some freshness :)

Good: Spa, Gym, Breakfast, Location

Good: Position,breakfast Bad: Nothing specific

Very good hotel with comfortable rooms. We stayed for four nights in a modern, well-equipped apartment that included two TVs, a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine, two bathrooms, and air conditioning. The breakfasts were very good, with a wide selection of food. If we visit Budapest again, we will definitely choose this hotel again. I highly recommend it.

Good: Central location, newly refurbished and very Clean. Bad: N/A

An unforgettable stay! The hotel is modern, spotless, and offers stunning views of the city lights. The thermal spa is pure bliss. Breakfast was delicious choices at every meal. Top-tier service and incredible overall quality. 10/10, highly recommended

Good: Clean and spacious room with a beautiful view to Danube river. With an excelent breakfast

It was a wonderful experience that we had at the Danubius Hotel Helia. The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable, the service and food were excellent. And last but not least, the time spent at the spa was wonderful, perfect for escaping the 37° C heat from outside. We only stayed one night but we will definitely come back. Budapest has won our hearts ! 🫶

Good: - Pool area was grear, heated pool, open from 7am to 10pm. - Nice location at the river, so walking to city center is conformable, it is a bit too far, bit if you like to walk it is not a downside. - Big breakfast selection. - Conformable beds. Bad: - Rooms are bit too small, but we were two adults with 4 year old.

Good: Staff very kind, good food, clean hotel. Bad: Nothing really

Good: Fantastic hotel. Clean, comfortable air conditioned rooms. The best breakfast selection I’ve ever seen at a hotel. We had tea once in each restaurant. Both lovely each time. Used the swimming pool facilities once. Plenty room in changing rooms. Lovely area. The saunas are in the changing rooms, incase like me and my partner you expected to be sitting in the sauna together. Staff friendly and helpful. We were allowed to leave our luggage there on the last day as we had a nighttime flight. Close to supermarkets and transport links. If you have the choice ask for a river view as it is beautiful.

Loved this hotel. Rooms were great - decent size and incredibly clean (premium balcony with river view). Swimming pools were fantastic - there different pools at different temperatures. Lovely lobby with comfortable seats and a nice outdoor seating area. Breakfast was reliable - hot cooked items (bacon, sausage, egg, beans, etc), cold meats and cheese, breads and pastries and more. We had travel cards for getting around - bus stop outside by the Prima store (also helpful to have nearby) and a 10 minute walk to the metro m3 line.

Good: special staff i like them . Bad: no thing

Good: We absolutely loved the whole Danubius Helia experience. Gorgeous staff, amazing and big variety of food, magnificent spa and gym, wonderful classes, spacious room. Everything was just so kindly and with lots of care and intelligence organized. They even upgraded our room, since we returned. Loved the design, the scent of the hotel, free extra mineral waters in the room and flavoured water in the lobby. We return definitely, especially if the keep their proce and quality ratio so good and affordable. By the way, if somebody could tell me where could I get the same scent, would love to have it in my home to remember always of the hotel. Bad: We absolutely l9ved everything.

Good: Excellent location and public transport connectivity

Good: Hotel provided all the facilities we needed and more. Would not hesitate to book again. Bad: Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Bad: Very bad smel in the bathroom

Good: Big parking quite well located Bad: Quite old , walking in the neibourhood not feeling so safe

It was amazing stay .

Good: The staff is nice and helpful. The food is plenty and delicious. The bed is very comfortable. The pool is open from early morning to late evening. Housekeeping is regular and the ladies very nice, always making sure we had everything we needed. Bad: -

Good: Modern, clean, conveniently located. About 30 minutes walk by the Danube river to parliament square. Easy access to public transport by metro (10 min walk) or buses (2 min walk). Great Gym and swimming pool. Has 3 different pools different depth and temperature. All staff are helpful. From episode restaurant, front desk, spa to housekeeping. Bad: Nothing to mention here.

Good: The whole hotel facilities were good, it had a great view of the danube River. The availability of the parking slot is another good thing. The breakfast was exceptionally good. The staffs were also very nice and helpful. I can recommend this hotel to any one coming to Budapest.

A good and safe choice in Budapest. The hotel was very clean, the staff were kind, and the spa facilities, including the pools, sauna, were great. The room and windows were quite small, and unfortunately, the towels often had stains. Overall, I had a good stay and would choose this hotel again.

Good: Updated rooms, comfortable bed, great dinner and breakfast

Good: The room was generous. The breakfast was diversified. They were kind and everyday they put a bottle of still water in our room. I recommend bus 15 to the city center. Bad: I booked a room with Danube view. In reality we stayed at the 2nd floor and we didn't have a view to the Danube because of the trees. Maybe if we were at a higher floor we could see the Danube. We couldn't acces YouTube from the TV, we called staff for this problem but persisted. When we arrived we found in the shower cabin a plastic cover for a razor, probably from the previous guest. This makes me think that the bathroom wasn't cleaned properly before our arrival.

Good: Everything was great, comfortable room, good location, nice breakfast, everything was better than expected! Bad: Nothing

Good: Super staff, modern, clean and everything you needed. Bad: Bed wasn’t the comfiest

Good: This was my next visit to this hotel and I was satisfied as before. The staff is very helpful, the facilities are modern and the spa is perfect. Will come back again. Bad: I don't have anything specific to say here. However, it is always a way to improve.

Good: I came back again as the hotel is good and comfortable. Large parking, good spa, restaurant, etc. I believe I am already supposed to be the frequent client of this hotel network, however, I was not informed about this 😄 Bad: Nothing to add here.

Good: Very kind and polite staff, great breakfast buffet. Bad: No complaints.

Bad: Expensive food at restaurant

This was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had in recent years. Everything was thoughtfully prepared, from the comfortable room to the excellent breakfast and outstanding customer service. The hotel was quiet, clean, and provided a welcoming atmosphere throughout our stay. Every interaction with the staff was pleasant, and their attention to detail made a real difference. I left with very positive memories and would not hesitate to stay here again whenever I return to the area.

Good: It’s decent hotel a little bit overpriced Bad: Small rooms

Good location

Good: Good breakfast, and clean room. Bad: Too many people in pool, no room to swim.

Good: Amazing hotel! We stayed with our family for 6 nights and had a wonderful experience. Every day there was a great variety at breakfast, and it was absolutely brilliant. We had an extra bed, and even that was comfortable, just as good as the main bed. The hotel was very clean and had an excellent swimming pool and spa. The location and the view were amazing, and the staff were kind and helpful. The hotel is also close to many public transportation options. I strongly recommend this hotel! Bad: There was nothing major we didn’t like.

Good: Amazing hotel with many facilities. I would love to visit again. Bad: Nothing 👏🏼

Good: Breakfast was perfect.

Good: Very clean, very good breakfast and great location

Grt room and service is grt

Good: Everything! Bad: Nothing

Good: Close to Margarita Island and Donau

Nice hotel. Service is good.

Location is out of town, but very good bus service 75/79 1 stop and you are ar M3 ( blue line) or 75 towards parliament or margarita island bridge. Staff excellent everything with a smile,and not a fake smile but a genuine happy to help smile. Room for us is great we got 1 with a balcony so coffee in the morning over looking margarite island, or a beer at night watching the sun set. All in all a fantastic 10 days stay.

Absolutely great. I was there for a few days, and had time of my life. Service is very friendly and helpful. Food is great, room standard is also great. I can't say a single bad word about my stay, and I will surely come back and tell others.

45 minutes from the center, 5 minutes from the bus station to the ice rink and the city park, for those who like to walk, the location is great, a nice walk by the river, Vaci Street is very close, maybe 5 minutes the food is fantastic, the pools are good, the gym is very good

Good: I like the front disk staff , they were professional and good English, the staff in the restaurant i didn't like their work, breakfast was good the room is clean but small and the most important think the view of the river was not that cleaer even I paid extra

Good: I liked the SPA, the food, all good value fot the money. Bad: -
