Reviews of Danubius Hotel Helia's guests

Good: Pools. Metro station only 8 mins by walk. Good staff. Bad: Little bit overheated rooms even the AC has been off (AC has been in the heating mode only), impossible to open the window (only small one a bit). Missing any CZ or SK tv channel (Slovakia is neighborhood country).

Good: Staff is very friendly. Breakfast is excellent, but the juice is perfect. The heating is very good.

Good: The hotel was very nice, in particular the free spa facilities there! Bad: The location by the river was nice, but it was a bit far from the centre

Super

Location Tip: Restaurants , theatres , river cruise and restaurants and much more This hotel rates 4 star hotel. It is much much more better than some other 5star hotels I've been to. This hotel should be rated 5 star !

Good: I liked the thermal spa pool. Rooms were quiet. Staff were very helpful. Bad: Rooms were a bit warm so difficult to sleep at night. No Aircon as it was considered to be winter.

Good: Excellent Breakfast Bad: Paid parking not included

Bad: My only improvement would be to have more cakes in the cafe. Location Tip: Both the lovely Margrit Island and downtown were easy to get to from the hotel. We stayed at the hotel for 5 days before we got on our river cruise ship. The view from our room of the very pretty Margrit Island and the Danube river were wonderful. We especially loved the four pools down in the spa area whose use is included in the room price. Spent two hours in them every day especially the jacuzzi and the 96 degree temperature pool. The room was well decorated. The bathroom was modern and sparking clean. The breakfast buffet is everything you would want at breakfast. We were very pleased with the hotel Danubius Helia.

Good: Very nice hotel. Old but still clean neat and comfortable. Bad: A bit far from city centre.

Good: Nice spa facilities and treatments.. good value for money...location next to river is great...plenty of places to walk Bad: Rooms a bit dated but comfortable

Good: Spa facilities Bad: no

Good: SPA Resort Bad: Nothing Arriving in Budapest we have always stayed at this hotel. At this time, the management greeted us with a welcome cocktail and put us in a lovely room overlooking the Danube River. We love this hotel! Many thanks! Orbitz.com provided free breakfast for Gold and Platinum members (we are Gold members), but the hotel has not confirmed this information.

Good: Staff were friendly and helpful, good facilities with pool, sauna and thermal pool. Clean. Bad: More comfortable seating in the bar area. Restaurant menu could had been wider / more diverse perhaps with daily specials to give something different every day.

Good: Great hotel will stay hear again

Good: Extremely comfortable and well-run hotel. I have often used this chain although not previously stayed at the Helia. I made use of their superb and very reasonably priced physiotherapy sessions on this business trip as I was unable to keep an appointment at home in the UK. Excellent staff support, great facilities and a very comfortable and reasonably priced hotel. Great favourites of my family! Bad: As someone who was recovering from knee surgery I was disappointed that couldn't make use of static exercise bikes at the weekend as these were up a spiral staircase on the first floor of the gym. There is a disabled lift but not enough staff around on a Sunday in the gym area to operate it (mainly concentrated understandably in the spa/pool area on a Sunday) and as such I wasn't able to use those particular pieces of equipment. Otherwise all was fine!

Good: Everything was just perfect! Great place,great people, we spent a very pleasant and relaxing time and we'll certainly return!! The Salt Cave and the pool were the best things for relaxation! Bad: I didn't like the green insects that went inside the room through the window, when it was opened so I stoped opening the window..

Good: All good Bad: All good

Good: All : The buffet, the therms, the staff Bad: The (non) comfort of the bed

Good: Worth paying the extra to get the view over Donau Bad: Could hear the elevator going up and down constantly.

Good: the Spa! Bad: No late food and it is not central so we could not find easily a place to eat around 23h

We enjoyed every minute here. Parking rates for rental car are somewhat excessive.

Very nice place � helpful personal Fantastic breakfast � Would love to stay here but have to go home tomorrow ���

Good: breakfastbuffet with large selection of fruit, vegetables and hot dishes. Nice swimming pool with hot mineral baths. well maintained. Nice roofterrace with more than enough beds Bad: nothing

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. � The staff were very welcoming, helpful, very nice, funny and I'm sure I'll be there again very soon. Thank you for everyone at the hotel. :) I also have to add when attending the restaurant for the evening meal it was wonderful with a guy playing the piano absolutely amazing. Thank you x

Good: Perfect with family. Breakfast very good. Close city center but you need to use subway. Subway station 5 minutes by walking. (Safe area) Bad: Swimming pool especially in the morning for old people. When you try with your kids (7 and 4 years old) they are complaining too much. (We got warning from pool staff)

Good: Everything Bad: Nothing

Good: absolutely every detail spot on.

Good: fanstastic location ,spa&swimming pool area , comfortable room , river view , close distance to metro and center of Budapest Bad: nothing

Good: I liked everything. Great staff. Great and comfortable rooms. Great location. Super breakfast. Even for vegetarians, vegans and raw foodists I saw first time in hotel such a great choice. It's super. Thermal water in swimming pool. I liked it very much. Thank you. I'll come again

Good: Convenient location ten minutes from the underground and right by the river. Bad: Nothing

Good: Very nice pool/gym area. Bicycle parking space.

Good: superlative breakfast with everything you want inside. Beautiful thermal area with 3 swimming pool with 3 different degrees. nice room with nice view. Bad: maybe new forniture.

Good: The spa and fitness room are clean and great. Bad: There is no ATM in the hotel.

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 hotel and well maintained. Early morning complementary breakfast is really good

I had the best stay and the Breakfast spread is just amazing thank you for an awesome time

I love Budapest. It has so much culture and history. So much to see. The people we found were friendly and helpful.

Good: The location was perfect bus stop across road for centre of town. Island a twenty minute walk away. Bad: Bar closed a little early

Good: Parada,hotel 20min.od hungaroringu.

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: Everything! Bad: Nothing!everything is perfect!all the staff is accomodating and hospitable...

I will always come back

Good: Everything was great. Bad: A little too far from central Budapest, but if you have a car that's not really a problem.

Good: Everything was great. Bad: A little too far from central Budapest, but if you have a car that's not really a problem.

Good: The hotel was wonderfully accessible to places we wanted to visit. The pools were a bonus and we would definitely come back again.

Good: Staff very pleasant Bad: Small t v

Good: Air-condition was not working properly and it was to warm in the room. Bad: Additional charge for parking - it should be included in the price for hotel guests!

Good: Nice location, pool. Excelent breakfast.

That was the 4th time at the hotel and we brought some friends with us this time and they enjoyed there stay. Hotel tightly run but with a chilled atmosphere. ☺

Good: Camere mari, confortabile.

Good: Met interested people like myself Bad: The small t v need larger t v to watch sports

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!

This was by far the best hotel I've stayed ever. Great rooms, the appartments are large in size and can accommodate large families. Well equipped.

Good hotel which is well laid out. Comfortable and spotless but the food wasn't too great. Highlight is the thermal baths. They alone are worth choosing this hotel over others.

Its really excellent but the price should be little less and the bathroom is not 4 stars bathroom the shampoo are not good needs improving

Good: brekfest was fantasti, hot and fresh, bed exelent Bad: better explanation about posibillity of spa,, easy way to use all services

Good: Sauna in the room. Great view from the window. Pools. Bad: Not far from metro, but far from city center.

Good: very helpful and friendly staff, the breakfast selection were perfect . the location was excellent 5 minutes walk to historical sites and local shops were just minutes away. spa was amazing. can't expect anything more. Bad: I wished there was glutton free bread available , as there was all different kind bread but no any bread or pastry for glutton free people.

Good: Thermal spa, organized, regular water gymnastic, nice river view Bad: Expensive breakfest

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. Maybe people are not happy with service or so. It's also not written anywhere that they charge it. It's new mode in many restaurants in Budapest. Pitty

Good: SPA center and location.

Good: Very nice, clean, big room, friendly staff, deserves 4 stars Bad: A Little far from the city center

Good: Available pool and thermal baths every night! Bad: A bit far from the city centre.

Good: A spécial dessert received for our birthdays! Bad: Nothing

Good: Great value for money, great spa and massages. Bad: Only one small remark : cleaning could start a little bit later then 8:30 especially in the weekend when there are still some guests sleeping ... because when starts on your floor, for sure you will wake up immediately.

Good: Everything was pretty great for the price. Good value. We traveled with the car, so location was not an issue, but still close enough to the center. Facilities were pretty good.

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...

Good: Very good breakfast and nice spa with saunas.

Good: Great large hotel with a good swimmingpool and spa area with long opening hours. Breakfast buffet was excellent! The staff was polite, nice and helpful and the rooms very clean. We really enjoyed our stay! Easy to get to the city center by trolly-bus or metro, and even from/to the airport by metro (same line). Bad: Expensive breakfast - but worth it! No slippers to go to the spa. Poor lightning for the signs to the rooms.

Good: the Spa was excellent and so the breakfast. Easy to get to the center

Good: The staff was very nice and helpful. Rooms were super clean and did not smell of anything. The piano singers in the lobby were amazing. Bad: The room that we have booked was not facing the Danube. Wish we knew and payed more for a better view.

Good: Stunning views excellent staff

Good: Nice room with view on Donau, good and cheap room service Bad: Spa area big, but nothing special

Good: Nice room with view on Donau; Great Room Service (delicious food) for a low price; Comfortable bed; Bad: SPA Area is big, but nothing special

Good: Staff were great room was to good slandered

Good: Room location Bad: Maids rude. Food is a lottery once its ok once not. Chicken sometimes was old and smelly so i had to tell them. Hotel is nice but needs serious staff upgrade to give to this hotel what it deserves. I dont know maybe its me but anyway. Smile a bit and be more hospitable thats why u r there.

Good: silent place even in the heart of the city, size of room, view to Duna river, nice breakfast Bad: bathrobes included but missing slippers to go to the swimming pool
