Good: large room with a beautiful view, good facilities, good location, staff were so helpful couldn't rate much better! would definitely stay again! Bad: door handles to the room could have been stronger but still felt safe, slightly dated decor but still a lovely room restraunt menu wasn't good at all, little option for food and only 1 veggie option so had to go out for food

Good: We were looking for a hotel while attending the Sziget Festival. We chose Danubius because it was really close to the metro station (10 min walk) that could be used to go to major transportation hubs (Nyugati railway station, Nepliget) and also downtown. It was also just a 30 min walk alongside the Danube to the H5 suburban train station that took us to the festival. The room had a great view of the Danube. We enjoyed the free coffee and the croissants in the mornings. Wi-Fi was stable and speedy. The spa facilities were well equipped and very clean. 24h reception, so it was no problem if we'd arrive at 10PM or 4AM. Bad: The staff was vey eager to help, but the English skills were not excellent.

Good: The rooms were excellent. We had a separate toilet from the main bathroom and shower plus it even had a sauna installed. We had a balcony over looking the Danube with great views of the river and the city at night. Bad: At times only a trainee receptionist was on reception and she wasn't very helpful. Whilst Tea and coffee making facilities were in the room, they didn't include any milk. You had to go down stairs to the bar to request it.

Spent 4 nights at this lovely hotel.Our room was a high floor room as requested and it was nice and quiet. The room was clean and comfortable with a perfect temperature. Location was good, not in the centre but that's what we prefer, pleasant walk to get to the busier places. We used the pools which were fab. The hotel had a gym, hairdressers and beauty treatments available which all looked good but we didn't have time to try them as we were out most of the time. Only slight niggle was that when using the shower the water went everywhere so had a wet bathroom floor. Would definitely return to this hotel.

Good: Very polite , helpful, older staff......big bonus....nothing was too much trouble. River view was stunning, i was upgraded but on my next visit wont hesitate in booking a river view room, well worth the extra! Very comfy beds, beautiful rooms with everyrhing you need, i was on 5th floor and internet was excellent. Minibar also not overly priced. Used the lobby cafe daily, very pleasant and peaceful place, never very busy, spotlessly clean, lovely cakes and again good prices. Used the thermal spa pools daily around teatime and was very surprised to see only 2-3 people using them.....maybe i was just lucky! Used the salt cave too for 45 mins again i had the place to myself, very relaxing, definitely improved my asthma, woke up next day with no wheezing, coughing or sneezing, would love to use it regularly. Fantastic hotel, with excellent spa facilities, to get into town get reception to call you a cab , cost 1750huf roughly £5 , to come back i stopped by kempinsky hotel and asked bellboys to call me a cab, again going back same price! Dont pick one up in the street same journey they will charge you 4,500 huf one way! Bad: Cleaning staff trying to get in your room at 8am?? Or wanting to check minibar?? Very annoying when you are on holiday and do not need to be woken up so early, 3 days running i was disturbed at 8am......no need for it!

Good: Nice quiet place also for relaxing after sightseeing around the city. Bad: They charge automatically tip on the bill in bar or restaurant which i think is rude.

Good: Liked the location, cleanliness, friendly staff and the facilities were excellent. thermal pool, etc. In quieter part of the city but close enough to everything.. Loved the view of the Danube and nice walking areas by the river. Transport is everywhere, Metro is 5 minutes walk, which will take you everywhere in minutes.. supermarket opposite of the hotel, great for snacks, water, etc.. Bad: The food in the restaurant was expensive and not the best, so we only ate there once, no vegetarian options on the menu, although staff were excellent and tried to accommodate us...

Robinson's restaurant. City park. Heroes square. Jewish quarter. We stayed for 4 nights and even paid for an extended stay with no problem. The hotel is close to buses/trams/metro lines that can take you all over the city. We never needed a taxi. The hotel staff is marvelous - very helpful and knowledgeable. We would recommend the Danubius to our friends.

If hotel says breakfast served till 10.00am guests should be able to arrive up till that time and feel they could take their time to enjoy what was a good breakfast. They should not feel that they have to hurry and that was the effect of the above policy.

Renewing for you!

Renewing for your comfort

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.
