Good: Immaculately clean, warm and comfortable, loved the pool area and the breakfasts were amazing, lots of choice, beds were very comfortable and the shower was perfect.. A little way from everything but the metro is a 5 minute walk, we walked to the main area twice and it’s a lovely walk along the river, took about 40 minutes, Ubers are cheap enough and easy.. i would recommend this hotel

Good: We love our stay here. Highly recommendable. Bad: Nothing

Absolutely a great motel. Great facilities, friendly staff, clean rooms. You can set your own a/c temperature . The pools are so nice. Meals at the Cafe are reasonable. I would recommend

Good: Good breakfast buffet Bad: Location is little too far from the city centre

Good: Great spa, nice room. Good bistro with delicious food and desert's. Cosy common areas Bad: A bit far from city center

Good: Hotel Helia is well located on the banks of River Danube, and our room had fantastic views of the river and hilly side of Budapest. On a clear day, it was an amazing sight. The breakfast options are extensive and have all sorts of options to meet all kinds of palettes. It was sumptious enough to give you a healthy and hearty start to the day. The Hotel Spa and health facilities were amazing and exceeded my expectations. Kids love the pool, adults loved the relaxing massages and spa facilities. There is a big super market and a drogerie market right opposite to the hotel, in case you would like to choose any extras of your choice. The staff at the reception, yellow bar and the restaurant were all welcoming and went beyond to make your stay memorable. Bad: We travelled with a toddler, and it would be nice if there was a small indoor play area that little ones could enjoy while the adults are making use of the Spa facilities.Apart from this minor thing, it was an excellent stay without any issues.

Good: The view from the rooms were really nice. The breakfast had a lot of options. The restaurants at the Hotel were also good for dinner. Overall we liked our stay. Bad: Nothing that we can find during our stay. Everything was according to our expectation.

Good: The hotel is really excellent, with great facilities, including a very relaxing spa. The breakfast was great, very good variety of food, everything was fresh. The hotel is very well located, around 30 minutes away from House of Parliament. The city center is easily accessible by bus (across the street) and subway (8-10 minutes walking). All the staff was professional and friendly. We will return to this hotel next spring.

Stayed with partner and a baby for 2 nights. Hotel has a great location near a bus stop and metro, facilities were great, pool ( kids friendly)and gym . Good breakfast and dinner. Overall a good value for money

Good: Very good value for money! Sparkling clean newly renovated rooms and lobby, excellent breakfast and amazing staff. Nice spa area. 20min walk from city centre. We had a perfect stay, highly recommend.

Good: Location was nice - not far from metro station and bus stop was 3 min away. Hotel next to the river. Breakfast was very nice with wide range of options. Spa area with saunas (men and women seperately), with nice pools. Bad: -

Bad: massage at spa

Good: I liked everything. Bad: Location is bit far from the center

Good: Rooms were v comfortable and breakfast was plentiful Bad: Location

Good: Amazing breakfast, welness, service. Bad: Innthe bathroom, shower on one side and the shower controls on the other, why?

Good: Location, clean, Hotel contents, very helpful and polite staff Bad: There could be more fish based products for breakfast

Good: Spa, friendly Staff and good selection for breakfeast Bad: Shower could be improved

Good: Fantastic hotel, extremely comfortable, very classy. Spa facilities and pool are brilliant too.

Good: the room had beautiful views and very confortable size bed and room

Good: Beautiful. Clean. Nice staff. The cleaning staff was so friendly and always left me extra things. Bad: The food for breakfast and the lunch were not clearly labeled. And when asking the staff if things were vegetarian it wasn’t clear either. While the staff was very kind and helpful, it was mentioned some foods were vegetarian but it had sausage in it. . So I did not eat too much lunch time for the conference. But there were great places to eat 15-20 min walk away.

Good: The hotel is located 25 mins walk from the Parliament, in a not so touristic area. The room cleanliness was very good and it was also quiet (no noises during night from the neighbours). The breakfast was good, with plenty of choices. The staff was friendly and super responsive. Bad: Some of the breakfast products' freshness was questionable - the shredded carrots salad had a strong fermented taste.

Dear Catalin, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated our hotel's location, room cleanliness, and the variety offered at breakfast, as well as the friendliness of our staff. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable stay. Warm regards, Dóra Danubius Hotel Helia

Good: Friendly staff, good breakfast, excellent location. Bad: Gym a little bit outdated except for the treadmils and other cardio machines.

Good: Great value for the buck, rooms are great, probably been renewed not too long ago, very good breakfast offering Bad: Not a complain but pool and spa showing age, it's a huge hotel but did not get too crowded

Great hotel, great people, spa great👌, my new favorite hotel in budapest😍

Good: The room was clean, the food great, the lobby was spectacular Bad: The pool wasn’t renovated yet like the rest of the hotel

Good: Directly located at the Danube river and with a Bus station nearby within a 3 minutes‘ walk, the hotel provides an ideal starting point for each day‘s trips in and around Budapest. Rooms were quiet and clean and staff exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Good: Neat and pleasant. Parking was not included in the price, which was a small issue. The room was quite cold during our 4-night stay; the heating wasn’t working well. They tried to fix it, but we were told it’s because the room is on the fifth floor and can’t get warm enough. The staff was friendly.

Good: Excellend location, clean rooms, great facilities. Breakfast choice beyond expectation. Staff was wonderfull, professional and friendly. I never travel twice the same location but I will be back in this hotel 🤩 Bad: I would like to be shown around on arrival to see and explore my options within the hotel, otherwise everything great.

Bad: Maid’s cleaning of the floor in room

Good: Spa. Bad: There was no internet at pool area. We told to reception but nothing changed. It’s a bit noisy hotel because it’s surrounded by roads.

Good: Wellness centre/spa....spacious, clean and relaxed. Breakfast choices Nice bar area Bad: Evening meal, buffet, was poor for the price. Quality perhaps not great due to it being later in the evening, so food not freshly served. No offer of wine or drink after initial glass. Bathroom in our room was tiny Tea/coffee in our room not replenished, had to find housekeeping to ask for more Location was not bad, but wished we were more central

Good: Central hotel, great facilities and food really good. Bad: Nothing to fault.

Good: Spa, breakfast Bad: AC controlled by reception. Room was warm they said they had programmed acs to be on winter mode therefore I wouldn’t be able to turn it on, instead they said i should’ve opened the window. Come on a 4 star Hotel budgeting ac usage? Ridiculous

Good: Liked everything. Modern, clean, comfortable rooms and nice view to the river, helpful staff. Bad: In breakfast kids ( probably on job experience from school), cooked omelettes, waiting time too long. We stayed for 6 nights and the breakfast area was always very busy. The hotel is around 1h by walking to the city centre. But it's not a big issue,as Taxi drivers are always available.

Good: Excellent hotel, would recommend. Room: We stayed in the cheapest room. It was spacious, large TV, wardrobe space and sliding door shower that was larger than the pictures suggested. Food: Breakfast had excellent varation of fresh baked breads, pasteriers, full English, range of eggs options, deli meats & cheeses, fruit & yogurt and then a hot option that changed daily. Evening buffet was also very good with range of vegetables and meats. We ate in the Bristro and thought the food was very good. Spa & Fitness studio: Two story gym with good selection of weight equipment, yoga studio with TRX, and variation cardio machines. The spa was pleasant, it had 2x pools and gender segrated sauna and steam room with were hot. Service: Staff were very friendly, the front desk staff pointed out a range of tourist attractions and good restaurants. The room was tidied daily with fresh towels & new coffees. In addition, the staff saw we'd put birthday banners up in the room and very kindly left us a complimentary bottle of prosecco to find when we came back that evening. Location: 2 minutes from the Danube river, 20-30 mins walk to the city. Num 15 bus near the hotel makes it easy to get into town. As it's out of town it was fairly quiet at night. Tourism from the hotel: We recommend day trips to Margaret island (walkable), City park (30min walk away), Buda castle & Fisherman's Bastin (40mims bus). BudaGo app was great for public transport and buying tickets. We would happily stay again. Bad: Room: Only note was we couldn't turn the temperature down past 21 and in the end had to turn it off and open a window. Evening buffet: Puddings were okay, but as a Brit it's argue it would have benefited from a hot option rather than lots of miniatures of things.

Good: The pool, the spa. Staff were so accommodating and helpful Bad: Nothing. It was all great.

The best thing about this hotel was the staff, very professional, attentive and accommodating. The location is good too, bus ride to downtown is only 7 minutes and you can potentially walk by the river. Public transportation is super easy. The spa makes the difference in your vacation, so nice after a day exploring the city!.

Good: Awesome for a relaxing weekend, we will come back! Amazing breakfast, nice view, beds, showers! Very nice property!

Good: Great stay Bad: Loved the spa

Good: Third visit very consistent standards and great facilities. Lovely view and comfortable beds Bad: Noisy neighbours in corridors. Intermittent room cleaning

Good: The room with a view on the river Nice room nice bath room Breakfast was very excellent and enough to choose Bad: While we were eating breakfast, our plates were taken away even before we finished . That is something that could be better, but the breakfast was very excellent and nice

Good: Breakfast was fresh and tasty Bad: There was nothing to dislike

Good: Everything Bad: Everything .....

Good: Hotel facilities and breakfast options. Bad: Nothing much.

Good: We was with my son in this hotel for holidays, rooms was clean and worm., also was fridge in room, free bottle of water, tea, coffe. In our price was including breakfast, it was very good, you can find here all what you need. In price including swimming pool, sauna and gym, it's a perfect. The Hotel is near Dunaj river, around 15 min by feet to the center.I like all, will back here againe. Thanks for all personal of hotel for our perfect holidays. Bad: All was great

Good: Great experience! Very good breakfast, clean rooms. Would recommend.

Good: The staff were very helpful and always smiling, which made the expereince even more enjoyable. The location is very convenient. The spa center is very pleasant and offers a relaxing atmosphere.

Good: Restaurant, location. Bad: Wellness would be better, no glasses storage in the sauna.

Good: The cleanliness was fantastic. Lovely big spacious room with a modern contemporary feel. Bonus for us was the leisure facilities which was welcoming after a long day out exploring. Good variety at breakfast only one small minor detail was the coffee very poor and could do with more coffee machines. Overall excellent hotel and would stay again. Bad: Very minor detail ! Coffee very poor. Not hot enough and needs more coffee machines in the breakfast room

Good: Great place, great staff, great food. Strongly recommend.

Good: Great hotel with very friendly and courteous staff with a lovely breakfast to start the day. Just outside the City centre but very well connected by Budapests excellent transport system. Lovely pool and spa facilities allowing us to rsst and recharge after long days of sightseeing and enjoying the city's charms. Would recommend to anyone visiting Budapest.

Good: The reception and restaurant staff were very nice. Very child friendly. Good location, overlooking the Danube. Bad: I expected it to be cleaner, considering the score. I found cobwebs, bugs and dust in the room. It is a non-smoking hotel and if they find a pack of cigarettes in your room, they consider you to have smoked and charge you 100 eur. So, the housekeeper should be more attentive to cleanliness than to the clients' belongings.

Good: The view from the rooms were really nice. The breakfast had a lot of options. The restaurants at the Hotel were also good for dinner. Overall we liked our stay. Bad: Nothing that we can find during our stay. Everything was according to our expectation.

What an Excellent Hotel for my business relax, Thank you my Dearest, see you soon

Breakfast was very healthy option and was very fresh

Yes, itbwas very nice.

Good: The facilities the service and the breakfast was very nice Bad: Nothing

Good: Clean rooms, good breakfast , parking, pools, staff Bad: The sauna is old , the coffee at breakfast can be improved

Good: Comfortable rooms, great leisure centre, hearty breakfast Bad: Staff in restaurant could have been more pleasant. A smile, an acknowledgement of guests...

Good: Everything was great! Comfy and clean rooms. The spa facilities were great, a choice of different pools at different temperatures, towels provided on entrance to spa. The breakfast was delicious, so much choice and not over crowded. Bad: Everything was perfect

Good: spa, mineral water, food was amazing Bad: the spa had too much chlorine in the water the steam room was moldy

Good: Good choice of products for the breakfast. We really liked swimming pools (quite large swimming pool comparing to pools in other hotels), jacuzzi and saunas. Everything was positive and we are very satisfied. About 10 minutes walking to the subway is acceptable (it is possible also to use bus to the subway station). Bad: Maybe price can be a little lower.

Really enjoyed the whole holiday including the hotel

Good: Clean and new Bad: Clean new there’s everything what you need food swimming pool wellness

Good: Breakfast was lovely, plenty of choice. Room was clean and beds are so comfortable! Really friendly staff.

Good: Superb breakfast.clean swimming pool

Good: breakfast was fabulous room were nice with nice views of the Danubius reception staff was very helpful and friendly nice dinner options

Very helpful, friendlyand polite staff members.

Good: The room was clean and tidy staff were polite and helpful view was excellent I would recommend Bad: Nothing to speak of

Bad: We liked the modern equipment. The room was a bit dirty. The walls and door in the toilet were dirty, dusty under the bench, the windows were patched up. Since I used to be a maid, I can see that. I paid for breakfast and on Saturday morning I had a fitness competition so I came to get a banana, I had coffee and my friend got porridge in a can. We also asked politely. But the contemptuous looks of the employees and inappropriate comments could be forgiven next time. We didn't take anything that wasn't ours, nor did we take much of it. The next day, Sunday, the lady made sandwiches for breakfast and no one said anything to her. So you could re-educate the Saturday employees a bit. The dinner for 30 euros was a bit weak. But there were very nice people at the reception. and breakfast amazing selection🤌🏻

Good: Everything Bad: On the 6th floor the heating system is a little bit to loud but i think not everyone hears it 🙂

Good: Central location

Good: Very nice room and excellent excellent breakfast

Good: Great location, room and Spa Excellent breakfast. Bad: Inflexible about early check-in.

Good: everything

Good: We loved the spa. We loved our upgrade on our room before our arrival.. It was quiet, with comfy beds. We really liked the daily clean and the housekeeping staff were friendly. The view was perfect Breakfast was amazing and catered for most diets and tastes. Bad: We didn't like the green main pool. We are not used to seeing that within a hotel environment. There wasn't any soya yogurt option available on the breakfast offerings. Staff could be a little more welcoming on entering and exiting the hotel. A quick greeting makes all the difference.

Good: Wellnes breakfast room Bad: -

It clean,smart,and great breakfast

Absolutely amazing hotel with all the gym and spa facilities. Amazing range of breakfast selection, catering for all the dietary requirements. The staff is super efficient and kind. We had the best time... Thank you

Good: Excellent. A lot of choices! Bad: Would have preferred my room on a higher floor. Last two times when I stayed here, I was on the 5th floor. Stairwell configuration is a bit odd, having to go up via the conference area and then up a separate stairwell to the first floor where my room was located.

Good: Breakfast was superb. Bad: Nothing to mention.

Great experience! Thank you!

Good: The hotel was really nice. Staff were nice and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast selection was exceptional! So much choice. Location was a good half hour walk from the centre but had good connections with public transport. The buses and tram passing by regularly. The yellow bistro bar had a good choice of food for lunch or dinner. Very pleased overall. Would definitely stay there again.
