My husband and I love the breakfast buffet and the relaxed feeling of the hotel. We also loved the small restaurant, "Yellow," where we had two excellent meals with family. The health club is a wonderful opportunity to work out in the exercise rooms. There are two floors: one for weight training and the second for cardio exercises. bikes, treadmills, and ellipticals. Most of all, we love the three pools of different temperatures. The hotel has all we need for a wonderful getaway.

Good: I came to Danubius Helia for the first time in 2003. Then again in 2013. And now for the third time in 2023. It is a great hotel, with a great location near the Danube and a great thermal spa. Thermal pools are the best thing about this hotel as you get this Budapest experience in a clean and quite environment unlike public spas. Bad: Room had a funny odour but I couldn't figure out what it was. Breakfast is pricey but that is known in advance. Room design is dated so it's good that they are working on refurbishing it.

Good: Thank you to the hotel for making our stay in Budapest more pleasant. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious buffet breakfast, fresh food was waiting for us even at the last minute. Cozy and clean room with a beautiful view of the river. Fresh towels every day. Spacious wellness with pleasant pools. Parking is possible in front of the hotel, 12€/day. Bad: The bathrobes we had in the room were of one size, rather smaller for ladies. Would like to add a larger size for men.

We loved this hotel! it was one of the few hotels that we stayed in while in Europe that had a refrigerator. The in hotel Dining options are amazing. we ate 70 percent of our meals at the hotel restaurant. The spa is incredible and the staff make you feel so comfortable. The hotel is right on the river with walking trails along the road. It was a great experience and we hope to stay there again!

Good: I read some bad reviews on this hotel so I was a little worried but wow nothing could be further from the truth. From the moment we arrived to a smiling concierge gentleman, who dealt with two very tired travellers (over 10hours driving). We were a little dishevelled and no judgement was taking, only the warmth of a welcome, the most comfy bed, room with aircon and a much needed sleep. The bed was so heavenly we forgot to wake up for breakfast lol. Parking was only 13euros overnight in a barrier carpark. We could have used the spa facilities but we were just so tired so we will for sure return. Even just for the receptionist & comfy bed lol. Bad: Not a complaint but the bathroom a little small, my husband has a problem with his leg and struggled to get into the bath for the shower but he did it.

Good: The spa facilities, comfortable rooms, good breakfast and dinner Bad: I would appreciate if the hotel will find a better way to manage the usage of the parking. It is not very pleasant for the guests to have to wait in line at the reception to validate the parking tickets everytime they want to go out with car during the stay at the hotel

Good: Big whirlpool (automatic pauses and starts) Bad: Just a little confusion at check-in. The lady was very nice, but asked for my payment method for the mini-bar - which later on proofed to be nonexistent "due to corona situation". Then, the light for breakfast room goes out at 10:00, which wasn't common practice to me, but we were allowed to take the unfinished sandwich withus, that makes it alright again.

Good: The breakfast was great, met all our expectations. The room was nice and comfortable and very clean. The staff was nice and polite. The spa is ideal for relax also with kids, its included in the price from 7 am to 10 pm anytime. The location of the hotel is also great-just a 8 min short walk from the Metro station, but far enough to not see the omnipresent tourist crowds. The view on the Danube, Margarethe island and Buda villas was in nice contrast with the metropolitan rush. Bad: The bathroom was a bit outdated and small. The spa was crowded in the morning with elderly locals, was not able to swim, but that can happen anywhere (it was nice to see the elderly taking care of their bodies and exercise to be able to walk and function in everyday life). The spa shower had some mould in corners..

Renewing for your comfort
Dear Guests,
We're delighted to share that Danubius Hotel Helia's renovation is moving into its next phase, commencing in November 2023. During this stage, we'll be giving a modern makeover to the rooms on the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors of the south wing. These updates align with today's standards and reflect the style of our lobby and conference floor.
We anticipate that the renovation will continue until the end of March 2024. While we work on enhancing our facilities, rest assured that our experienced and skilled team will ensure your comfort is a top priority. All of the hotel's services will remain accessible throughout the renovation period.
We do understand that there may be some daytime noise due to the renovation, and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused.
Your understanding is greatly appreciated as we work to improve your experience at Danubius Hotel Helia.
