Reviews of Danubius Hotel Helia's guests

Good: All about it, it is comfortable and clean, away from hostel and bustle of the city center despite being close to it, very close metro station that takes only 2 or stops to get to city center. Bad: All was very good and thinking about staying again next time I visit.

My favorite 🙂

Good hotel, clean, nice people and services. Breakfast very good and rich. We will come back.

Good: The room was great, had all that necessary and even more, the view from the room to the river was marvelous!. Hotel’s breakfast was very rich. Hotel facilities such as the Gym and the pools were great also. Close to M3 line (7 minutes walk) Bad: Indoors thermal pool was closed.

Good: Great location, adjusted to the city center and well connected - but in a quite neighborhood which was quite nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel room was immaculate.

Good: a beautiful, clean hotel, very friendly staff, clean, very good and rich breakfast, everything perfect, I will definitely return to this hotel

Good: Breakfast is good, but the window in the room cannot be opened without handle. And it's pity the swimming pool can't be used during my stay. Bad: A little bit far to center of the city

This one off the better place . Large rooms Big place Free parking Near Town Clean pool Very good food 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤌

Good: Large , clean , safe , near town Bad: Top

Good: Breakfast and spa was amazing Bad: Bed was very stiff and that was problematic for my problems with scholiosus :(

Good: Clean and nice rooms with superb view to the Danube River. The breakfast was top. Very nice pool facilities. Everything was super! Bad: I would have preferred a location closer to the city centre, but the bus stops were just a short walk away and the buses ran very frequently, so getting around was really easy.

Very nice hotel clean and modern breakfast also very nice and fresh

Eight nights in Longstay Apartment. Room was great - spacious and quiet! Kitchen had everything you could need including soap, dishwasher pods and salt/pepper (maybe a glass pan to use in the oven would be the one thing to add), 1.5 bathrooms, very comfortable bed, washer/dryer combo (with detergent pods provided), nice sitting area, excellent shower and separate bathtub, robes/slippers, soap, shampoo (no conditioner) and a lovely balcony overlooking the Danube. We ate on the balcony several nights (cooked or got pizza from Angel Pizza nearby). We always looked forward to the excellent choice at breakfast (especially the scrambled eggs - very good!). The jacuzzi and spa area were well maintained and we spent time there every day. As stated in other reviews location is outside the main tourist zone - so just be aware of that. There is a Prima grocery across the street, bus 75 and 15 stop right by the hotel and metro 3 is a 5-6 min walk (or one stop on bus 75 or 79) to get you anywhere you need to go. Staff was great!

Good: Nicely renovated, spacious rooms, good bar, breakfast and spa

Good: Great room, amazing restaurant. A little pricey but it's a hotel and the taste was great. Bad: Double service fees for no reason.

Good: A hotel with a relaxing atmosphere and excellent staff. Breakfast was the best I have ever seen offered in a hotel with a wide variety of choices. Well equipped gym and a nice spa. Bad: Everything was great. The only thing which was a slight issue that there was no place to dry wet swimming suits and bathrobes after a spa day in the room.

Very nice hotel right on Danube river, breakfast was amazing, check in staff was very helpful and friendly, overall experience was great, definitely recommend it

Good: The hotel is perfect — comfortable and clean, excellent service, and a stunning view. There is an indoor pool. A brand‑new room, fully furnished for comfort.

Grate stay at Danubies hotel helia. Location is good closed to the bus station and tram which make it easy to get anywhere. Big and nice hotel with pool (spa ) and and very well furnished like a 5 star hotel . Very good breakfast with a variety of options to choose from. The coffee from the machine could be a bit better, but otherwise everything is great.

Excellent staff, very helpful and kind. Breakfast was great everyday. The spa was great, sauna was amazing I was there on my birthday, they took the time to deliver chocolate to my room and a glass of champagne at dinner. I had a Danube river view balcony room. I highly recommend this hotel.

Good: Clean and smell

Good: The room was clean and spacious, and the breakfast offered a wide variety of options. Overall, a very pleasant stay! Bad: .

Good: Good space good location good facilities. Sabby was exceptionally helpful

Good: Perfect location, parking super close. The breakfast and dinner was delicious and always a lot of food. Very nice wellness and gym - opened till 21:45, so after a long day in a city is a must have ;) Room was very pretty, upgrade to a better suit was perfect. Bad: A little bit of dust on the room, nothing serious, but still..

Good: Well located, great breakfast and good facilities Bad: Everything was great

Good: Hotel is big and rooms are good Bad: Spa and pool a bit old but all very clean.

A great hotel at a nice location. The breakfast service is amazing, and the personnel always ready to help. Couldn’t find anything to complain about.

Good: Great location and facilities. Gym was well equipped. We loved the swimming pool with warm water. Excellent breakfast. Kind staff. Bad: At check in we were told that the breakfast was till 11AM. We were not told that it applies only Friday till Sunday, and other days its tilk 10AM. So on Monday we came at 10:05 for breakfast and the staff were already removing the items. We were able to grab only a few items that were still not removed. And we were not the only ones. There were other guests who were also misinformed.

Lovely hoyel but nit in thr city centre

Excellent service super clean breakfast was very delicious swimming pool, was a perfect sauna gym I really enjoy it

The hotel itself is fantastic, and has clean, modern rooms, and many ammenities. The location is a bit north of much of the "touristy" activities and the "town" so evrythign is a cab ride or bus ride.

Good: Breakfast was excellent and the staff were all very friendly. Bad: Nothing.

Good: The beautiful scenery, the friendly staff .

Nice hotel

Good: Clean room, very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Bad: Couldn't sleep until late night, because it was a wedding on the same floor as our room and the music was very loud.

Good: Amazing stay, room with exceptional breakfast Bad: Nothing

Good: Breakfast was fantastic, hotel was clean and room was awesome. Relaxing stay. Bad: No milk supplied with coffee sachets in room.

Good: The rooms are clean, spacious and quite comfortable. The fact that is about 20 minutes from the city centre is a big bonus. Commuting is convenient with the bus stop and metro just a five-minute walk from the hotel. Bad: Everything was great, but extending the bistro's hours until 11:00 PM would be highly convenient for late-arriving guests looking for a quick snack or coffee.

The concierge were super helpful and amazing Breakfast was wonderful The people who cleaned the room didn’t take dirty dishes out They were loud banging doors super loud. Some of the guest are jet lagged and trying to rest Also why do maintenance on the pools on a Sunday was not smart out last day there we could not use the facilities

Good: Comfortable rooms and excellent breakfast (though it’s the same on all days) Bad: Very rude staff especially those working at the Bar who don’t respect or respond to your questions. I stayed for 5 days and 4 nights but the toiletries weren’t given or replaced - had to adjust with one day’s toiletries all 4 nights. Spa was also mediocre.

Good: Staff was very courteous and helpful. Hotel was nicely located. Room was very comfortable and sufficient water provided in room for the hot weather. The breakfast was wonderful with do much to pick from. There was choice of eggs; scrambled, fried, omlette, boiled. Variety of juices, coffees, teas, bread, fresh fruit. Absolutely delightful food at the restaurant and service late into the night. Wondergul experience! Bad: Did not get my river view room I paid for for first 2 nights! On 3rd and last night got the view.

Good: Very friendly and polite staff, clean rooms, excellent breakfast. I do recommend it and i already did to others! Bad: Lobby looks a bit old, leather couches could ve replaced, but overall a very nice hotel

Location was very convenient as transportation was nearby for either bus or trolley bus. Room was clean and comfortable for two of us. Air conditioning was just right and toiletries were as expected. Morning breakfast was a feast and we really loved the choices available. Truly the icing on the cake for our stay. Tourist attractions were easily accessible with the various transport mode. Budapest is a lovely city and our return trip would surely be here again. Kudos the the hotel staff for making our stay memorable.

Good: the staff Bad: the amenities in the shower are quite dangerous… hit me knee on the shelf where the shower gel is stored and cut myself, had to get stitches in a hospital. but the stuff was very friendly and I got a refund for the cost of the doctor.

Good: We stayed for three nights in a Premium Twin Room with River View, and overall our stay was pleasant. The room was very clean and comfortable, which was one of the highlights of our stay. The breakfast was also very good, with a wide variety of options to choose from. I particularly liked the spacious lobby with its high ceiling and modern design. The location was also quite convenient for exploring the city. Overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Bad: The main disappointment was the information about the airport shuttle service. On Booking.com, the hotel is described as offering an airport shuttle, which can easily give the impression that it is a free or hotel-dedicated shuttle service. In reality, it is a paid shared shuttle service that also serves other hotels and passengers. This means that you may have to wait for other passengers before the shuttle departs, and the cost can be similar to taking a taxi. I think the information should be much clearer to avoid misunderstandings and unrealistic expectations. Another thing that could be improved is the breakfast service. On one morning, we arrived at around 9:00 and the breakfast area was temporarily closed for cleaning and restocking, so we had to wait around 30 minutes before we could have breakfast. I understand that cleaning and replenishing the food is necessary, but it would be much better if this could be done continuously without completely interrupting the breakfast service. Guests arrive at different times in the morning, and having to wait 30 minutes before being able to eat is not ideal.

Good: A very pleasant hotel with an excellent location, conveniently situated and close to the main attractions. The breakfast was rich, varied, and delicious, with everything you could need for a great start to the day. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. We have stayed here every time we visit Budapest, and it has never disappointed us. It has become our preferred hotel in the city, and we will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommended! Bad: The only negative aspect is that there are no irons available in the rooms, and guests have to use a shared ironing room. Unfortunately, if it is already occupied, you have to wait. The swimming pools are also quite old. Although they are pleasant to use, they do not really meet the standards expected of a hotel with such a high star rating. The terrace with sun loungers is also outdated and in need of renovation. This is a pity, because the hotel itself is truly wonderful and has great potential.

Good: Everything was great. Just fix the address in booking as we couldn’t easily find the place.

Good: The food was excellent, the rooms were very comfortable Bad: They could improve the toilets in the sauna and not make renovations during peak summer

Good: Very good room, exceptional breakfast and good spa. Bad: Location is not the best (600m to metro station) but very quiet. Too far from city centre to walk daily.

Hi It is really nice and family environment & kids enjoyed a lot and staff really nice helpful.

Good: We had a wonderful experience at Danubius Hotel Helia in Budapest. The hotel was very comfortable, clean, and well organized, and the staff were always friendly, professional, and helpful. We especially appreciated how smoothly everything was handled for our group. The rooms were comfortable, the food was excellent, and the meeting facilities worked very well for our conference. The location is also great, with beautiful views of the Danube and easy access to the city. A big thank you to the entire Danubius Hotel Helia team for their hospitality and for making our stay so enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel!

Good: Breakfast was very good Bad: Room was very small

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
