Reviews of Danubius Hotel Helia's guests

Just wanted to offer my plaudits to the team for managing incredibly well during the Champions League weekend when the hotel was full to capacity. Particular thanks to the cafe team who ensured that they were open and serving a delicious meal when we returned late after the game.

Perfect hotel with spa/piscine, clean with lots of facilities, staff very friendly, and the breakfast is incredible (what I expect most from hotel) see pics

Good: Comfy bed, balcony view over the Danube. Choice for duffet dinner in the restaurant or A la carte in the bar good. Bad: Attention to detail when dusting lots of dust in corners and under units.

Good: amazing hotel. the ambiance was so good, clean facilities and rooms, good staff. the breakfast is so good 👌🏻 Bad: we extended the hours of stay. instead of 11am we check out at 2pm but we didn't enjoy the extension because of some noise outside and from the other room. we heard them cleaning, talking, using vacuum and moving something.

Good: Alt

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was spotless and very comfortable, and the staff were welcoming and helpful throughout my visit. Breakfast each morning was delicious with plenty of options to choose from. I also enjoyed using the spa facilities, which were clean and relaxing. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and worry-free stay.

Nice and clean hotel with friendly and hospitable staff. I missed this hotel just a couple of hours after checking out. We will back definitely.

Good: Everything is amazing in this hotel from the first moment until check out. Bad: Nothing

Excellent hotel that provides great value for the money. The spa was phenomenal and the fitness center very well equipped. The breakfast was better than anything I experienced in other similar level hotels, including some much pricier ones. And the location along the danube was very welcome, as was the sight at the back of the hotel. I also found it convenient for getting into the city center, with a straight bus just outside the hotel and taxis/ubers that were reasonably priced. With two dining rooms, one a la carte and one that provides a great buffet dinner, no guest would be likely to go hungry for long. Finally the staff, mostly super friendly young people with healthy sense of humor, went above and beyond to be helpful with advise and help needed for transportation and information (and I needed quite a bit of advise as my trip was a bit complicated with people to meet and places to go to). The room was also lovely, (other than perhaps a more convenient desk space would have been nice for laptop users, though likely most people don't come to work at this hotel). All in all, highly recommended for your stay, be it short or long, solo or with family/colleagues.

Good: Good location, nice and clean, staff friendly. Bad: Hard beds, a little uncomfortable after two nights.

Absolutely wonderful hotel. Staff from reception, to housekeeping and restaurant really great and accommodating. So friendly, efficient and polite. Wellness centre is fabulous too. We would stay here again, without a thought. Highly recommended.

Good: Excellent spa facilities. Excellent buffet breakfast

My wife and I enjoyed the Danubius Hotel Helia. The staff were cordial and professional. Do not miss the buffet (breakfast and dinners). U. Desmond Alufohai Miami, Florida.

Good: Amenities and bfast Bad: Cleanliness in the room

Good: great service , useful staff

Good: Everything 😁 We had third time in the hotel 😍 Bad: Not was nothing 😁

Bad: The shower looks and works in bad condition - to much water is draining on the floor.

Good: Everything Bad: Nothing

Good: I really loved everything about this hotel. The proximity to points of interest, bus station; the staff, breakfast selection and never-ending options available, the outdoor terrace, everything. The beds and pillows are extraordinary, the cleanliness spectacular. Bad: -

Good: Excellent choice Bad: No milk in the room

Good: Great location with river view, pleasant staff, great breakfast, very nice pool set.

Good: Modern and clean hotel..great facilities, breakfast was very good for the price. Rooms were very comfortable Bad: The location is a bit away from the ruin bar/ busier areas but you aren't far from Margaret Island which is about a twenty mins walk

I strongly recommend the hotel, every thing was great, thank you for your hospitality

Good: Great service and location. Excellent facilities and staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful

Good: Great breakfast, gym, spa

From the outside, the hotel looks a bit dated but it was bright and modern inside. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, with a wide variety of options available each morning. We also enjoyed using the spa which was well maintained. Our room was a good size. The only downside was that the air conditioning was difficult to work and there was no instruction manual provided so our room was very hot. We were on the second floor facing the car park and we would get cigarette smoke coming in through our open window, as people would smoke close to the building and it would drift up. Location-wise, it is a little bit away from the city centre but it’s a pleasant 40 minute walk along the Danube, or the nearest metro is a 10 minute walk away. Overall, I would stay here again!

Good: Hotel was fantastic and the staff in the reception and the bar and restaurant were all very good. Breakfast buffet was excellent and the freshly made omelettes a treat. We enjoyed a visit to the Spa area which was very good. Bad: The location isn't very central and a 30 minute walk to any sites. However for the value and service I would stay again.

Good: Nice rooms, super spa, very friendly staff, great location and view from the room. Bad: It was a bit crowded and pricey. Was no way to watch the Champions League soccer game.

Good: I liked that everything was clean and well organized, the breakfast was rich, there was also a good option for dinner – a Swedish buffet. Hotel is kid-friendly, with a drawing area for children and interactive tables with games.

Very good bed and breakfast.. Spa and Gym are both good too!

Good: He has absolutely gorgeous view Bad: The place was dusty the staff enters in apartment without notification

Good: Perfect location near the center. Very good breakfast. SPA was OK. Very nice room with Danube view and with comfortable beds. Bad: In the saunas, there is no place to rest. There should be some loungers.

Good: Clean room, good breakfast&dinner. Bad: A bit far from city center.

Good: We liked the proximity to the centre, the swimming pool and lovely breakfast, as well as spacious room Bad: We didnt like the noise from upstairs neighbours

Good: Convenient location (Danube embankment, near the metro). A big advantage is its own thermal pools. Nice staff. Bad: The price is overpriced. The bathroom has an inconvenient sink - the water from the tap flows out of the sink wall, it is very inconvenient to wash your hands. Unstable hot water in the shower. At breakfast: the staff quickly clears the plates and utensils, there is no filtered coffee, there are no nuts, there are few green vegetables, there could be fish for breakfast.

Good: Nice rooms. Bad: It's not very easy to get to. A bit isolated from the center.

So glad we upgraded our room with a balcony. After a long day in the city walkin then a relaxing trip to the pool and in the evening spent watchin the sunset and the boats up and down the danube. We walked each day into the city was about 30mins.

Good: Building is older but renovated, and I absolutely have to highlight super friendly staff. Whether was it person on the reception, person in the restaurant or lobby bar, all hotel employees were super friendly, fluent english, always smiling, communicating proactively and making sure you have all you need. Food was also great. Breakfast and dinner were rich and all allergenes were nicely listed on description cards. Rooms were nice and clean. Pools were nicely warm and great for evening relax. Bad: I couldn't go to sauna with my girlfriend, as saunas are separated for men and women - they were situated in the dressing rooms. This is super strange I have never seen it before, so we skipped saunas. SPA is basically only 3 pools with warm water + paid massages. Room cleaning service was not very thorough in their job. Rooms were clean, but details were just not there. There was a lot of dust on places you check first, like frames or TV, window was dirty with stains, trash bin was missing a bag, toilet had some papers in and it was not flushed when we arrived (!). They did replace bottled water, tea and coffe daily, but just threw it on table. Maybe they expected a tip? Room cleaning service was OK-ish, but not to the standard you expect from 4* hotel. It's also worth mentioning that parking is paid extra.

Good: Easy access, very friendly staff, rooms are spacious and comfortable, breakfast was excellent.

Good: The room was spotlessly clean. The lady at reception was very helpful. Breakfast was nice, with a variety of choices, including local options. The metro and bus stations are very close to the hotel. Bad: While the rooms were renovated, the spa area was not; however, it is well maintained. Parking must be paid for separately, and the conversion rate is worse than advertised.

Good: Comfy beds, beautiful interior design, amazing breakfast, great spa with hot sauna (unusual for hotels), very attentive staff at reception. Bad: The shower cabin was a bit leaking.

Good: It was exceptionally clean and staff were friendly Bad: I liked everything about the property

Great facility Shower head was a pain and no door on shower water kept getting on floor Staff excellent. Food was great. Excellent view of water. I would recommend

Good: This hotel is fully packed with amenities. They even have a salon, medic room etc. The only.hotel in Europe that serves rice! Bad: There are some complains in the breakfast like in the egg cooking section....u need more people to help the two ladies whose doing the best they can to provide faster service. There should also be people looking after spilled food so it maintains the cleanliness. Mornings should start with happy vibes coz it affects the mood of a person for the whole day. But there was a kinda old grumpy man cleaning the plates from the table that would not even smile. But apart from these breakfast comments, everything was perfect. And I suggest give bigger pillows. ☺️

Good: The hotel was clean and the pool was really great! We enjoyed the vast breakfast options and the cafe in the lobby. The staff was helpful, especially at the cafe and breakfast. Also, if you don't want to eat at the hotel, the delicious VakVarju restaurant is a couple blocks away, a grocery store across the street, and there is a lovely cukrazda (cake and ice cream) cafe around the corner. Bad: The hotel is a little outside the center of the city but the transportation options are very convenient and gets you to the typical tourist areas quickly. Also, there are only 3 elevators and sometimes you have to wait a little.

Good: Meals were exceptional. Nice to walk along the Danube

Good: Clean and spacious room, very enjoyable pools, good breakfast. Bad: Lights switch off at lobby around 23:00.

Good: Everything is great, room was clean and very nice, breakfast amazing.

Good: Good position of the hotel, great breakfast Bad: -

Good: Clean and new Bad: Location is not great

Good: Nice people, good food and clean. Spa with several pools with different temperatures. Bad: The additional bed was not so comfortable.

Good: Nice pool and food. Bad: Everything was nice and ok.

Good: Room and hotel clean and comfortable, spa and pool area fabulous and breakfast great, 5 stars for both. Bad: Evening meal in the restaurant, buffet style, choice was varied but food was cold.

Good: We booked a longstay apartment and we were very satisfied with this choice (we needed 2 rooms because of our 1-year-old child who goes to the bed earlier than us :)). The apartment was big enough with kitchen, 2 toilets (one in the bathroom,one seperated),living room and bedroom. The hotel location is also fine - near to the parks (about 30 min by walking to Margaret island,another small park just next to the hotel),about 20 mins to the Parliament. Breakfast ok (good choice,but there were missing pancakes :)). Bad: I went to the wellness area in the so called quiet hours (without kids,between 8pm and 10pm) to have a relax little bit after a long day but I was pretty dissapointed because there were many children (making a noise). I do not understand why hotel informs guests about the quiet hours and do not keep it at all...

Good: Spa

Good: Great hotel, breakfast was good, facilities were good, pool was good, loved it. Bad: After staying for a full week then had to pay for a late check out - thought this could’ve been free.

Good: Great location, friendly staff, nice spa and excellent breakfast. Bad: Nothing

Good: The room was clean, bed was big and the breakfast was very diverse and with good food.

Good: Great location, facilities and staff were very friendly. Nice activities do children. Bad: Breakfast times - would have liked more flexibility. Also no room service after 11. We arrived late and would have liked even a snack for dinner.

Good: Fine rooms, rich and tasty breakfast, clean, neat, wonderful feeling in the object Bad: The wellnes and saunas are quite modest. Bellow the average standard of the rooms and the hotel itself.

Good: Staff,facility Bad: The cleaners left dirty cups and spoon.They just made only the bed

Good: The hotel is clean and comfortable. The staff is very helpful 🙂. Everything was perfect 👌 Bad: Everything was perfect

Good: Super value for money at 140 EUR/ night with thermal pools & amazing breakfast included Bad: Parking 12 EUR / night (I'd have preferred a slightly higher rate, but with parking included)

Good: Clean, refurbished modern room. Lots of sockets for charging your electronics. Great spa. Nice sitting areas in the lobby. Polite and helpful staff. Good, varied breakfast. Bad: Small size room for a 3 person family - the extra bed takes a lot of space. I was not impressed by the dinner options.

Good: Overall good hotel, with a fairly good location. Bad: The room temperature control. I couldn't figure it out and it seemed like the temperature could not be set lower than 22 celcius. Not sure why, but made the room comfort a little less comfortable.

Good: Spa is great, breakfast is perfect. Staff are super friendly and always helpful

Good: The hotel was fantastic. I paid extra for a river view and it was so worth it. My little granddaughters loved watching the boats going past. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The room was lovely. Lots of choice for breakfast. A beautiful walk along the river bank path is just across the road, so very easy to walk down to the main area or over to Margaret Island. Bad: Nothing, it was such a lovely place to stay.

Good: Nice Hotel. I enjoyed my stay with my friend. When we needed an extra bed for one of the nights for my friend's niece the staff were happy to set one up for us. Nice breakfast too.

Good: Amazing location, fantastic view,very very very clean.The breakfast everything!!!!One of the most amazing hotels

We stayed in this awsome hotel for 3 nights during Easter Hollidays. Everything was great, the position on the Danube riverside, clean and spatious room, comfortable bed, friendly and professional staff. The food on brakfast and dinner buffet was various and delicious. Clean pools, spa and gym available.There is a parking in front and a bus line 15 just besides hotel that takes you to the City Center in 20 minutes. Splendid promenade to the City Center or to the Margit Island. We would definitely return to this hotel! Thanks!
