Reviews of Danubius Hotel Helia's guests

Good: Very nice and good quality. Bad: Nothing

Good: Upgraded all the communal areas to a very high standard and have loads of facilities on site. Cabs are cheap so easy to get anywhere you want and traffic was non existent. Decent breakfast, but don’t go late if you want pastries! Bad: Rooms are a little tired but I think this is reflected in the rates

Good: All was great! I's 4th time we stay in this hotel. On husband birthday we surprisingly got from hotel a plate with excellent sweets. Thank you very much for this. The rest were, as usual, wonderful - great breakfasts, spa, location and personnel. I would highly recommend this hotel. Bad: None.

Good: It’s was very clean and had lovely comfortable furniture, choice of inside and outside seating. There was a shop just across the road which was perfect if you needed anything, All staff were really helpful helping booking taxis etc. Breakfast was lovely a lot to choose from and was kept clean. Room was good size and was very clean, bed was very comfortable not hard at all had everything you needed and air con was brilliant, shower was powerful and was offered enough towel which were always cleaned the next day. Was too far from everything you wanted to see, bit of a walk but was fine, or you could just get into a taxi which wasn’t very expensive either. Quite close to everything really. Bad: Nothing really everything was fine

Good: Excellent massages & room service breakfast!!!

It is a little bit away from the centre of the city but it is walkable and has excellent public transport as well. There are some nice cafes nearby if you want to have a smaller breakfast.

Good: It was close to the centre, and the price was ok. The personal was nice and they always helped, when we needed to (parking, traveling with MHD,...). The room was really comforable and clean. :) Bad: Maybe the parking for the hotel guests could be for free. :)

Good: Very good location, nice welcome, big open reception area and lobby.

Good: Very friendly staff, ready to immediate help. Very good breakfast

Good: Delicious breakfast. Good location, beautifully view, greate indoor spa. Bad: The hallways on the floors have a strange smell. Otherwise it's really clean. The room smells fresh.

Good: Location is great, close to the center and many places of interest. Room was fantastic, beyond my expectations. It had two parts and balcony with nice view. Everything was clean and comfortable. There are three pools inside (swimming, warm and hot water). Staff was helpful and friendly. There is parking for hotel guests (about €10 per night). Bad: Breakfast was not included.

This was my first time in this hotel and I can say that it will not be the last - I've become a fan from the start. The check in went smoothly, quick access elevators to rooms and spa, live music on piano in the lobby, great bar with decent prices where you can watch sports. Not to mention the breakfast and the restaurant with a lot of options, fresh made on the spot omlete and a great variety of cheese. Staff was very nice and helpful. And now "la pièce de résistance" - the spa: big gym with different areas of machines, treadmills, elliptical bicycles, spinning area, aerobics area. TVs all around, water available for free and as many towels as you would like. Then was the treatment area with various physio therapy, kineto therapy, massages, water exercises, etc. Also the pools area - there were three pools with different water temperatures and some with hydro massage. Also there are two types of sauna - steam and dry, large enough to accommodate easily ten persons. There are plenty of lockers and showers. I was on a business trip, but honestly I can return here anytime for my personal enjoyment.

Splendid room and views. Excellent staff - in particular the team at the Bar My fault for leaving my gold family signet ring in the room after I had checked out - but it could not be found. I now have to type more characters as there must be 200

Good: Excellent spa - 4 indoor swimming pools. Great fitness and massages. Very rich breakfast, nice and clean rooms. Bad: Paid parking.

Good: Very good hotel with excellent spa. Very nice lobby and excellent breakfast. High speed WiFi in the rooms. Bad: Paid parking for the hotel guests.

Good: wellness breakfast room and location perfect for my needs. Bad: the checkout was very slow this time :(

Good: Everything else. Balcony was amazing including the view of the Danube. The facilities including the bar and restaurant were great. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially when we asked to check in early. Wonderful hotel and would definitely stay again. Bad: Personally would have preferred to stay closer to a met stop. 10 minutes was a little too far in 30°C heat. Air con could have been better.

Very clean, good food at the restaurant, excellent staff

Good: This is a fabulous hotel if you would like to swim, relax, enjoy the spa, in a quiet location a little out of town. the local buses and Metro makes it easy to travel into the city if you like. Bad: All was good

Good: The breakfast is really great, but if you come close to the end the juice can be diluted. Bad: There was a kettle with tea/coffee in the room but no drinking water.

Good: Nice breakfast, with loads to choose from. Apart from cabbage juice... That was a first (and last)- but no complaints about all the other options! Good view of the river. Bad: Slight odour from dogs staying - it seems like pets are common to stay in hotels in this part of Europe. Only noticeable when air con is off or windows closed, it wouldn't affect my decision to return however - I'd still come back if in Budapest in future

Good: -restaurant: we ordered pasta, shrimp salad, steak and wine. the portions were large (billing for two - 30 €). - breakfast is tasty and delicious. -swimmingpool with thermal waters. - the bed is large and comfortable.

Excellent hotel by all the given services and traditional Hungarian hospitality, including the possiblity of wellness. The pools with diffrenent water temperature - excellent.. The staff is perfect, always helpful and comminicative..Hotel situated nearby the broader centre near the river Danube. Very good location.

I attended the JCTA Conference June 15. My room was very pleasant, and the breakfast exceptional. My luggage was lost and after it was delivered to the hotel the porter brought it up at 2:30 AM! I can say only the best. Thank you for a pleasant stay!

I took part in the academic conference held in this hotel. The conference room was excellent for the meeting. Nice room and meals were suitable for the academic meeting. Unfortunately, waiting time for check-in was a little bit long because reception was crowded. I would be pleased if more quick check-in was possible.

Connectivity, location, food and amenities are good! Situated on east side of the river almost on the banks. You can find a good supermarket in its front. The lay out of the hotel(V-shaped) is such that from half of the rooms the river is visible. Good ambience!You can get good vegan food too.

My stay was on the participation of a conference at the hotel. On the hotel were given wonderful conditions and service during coffee breaks - drinks, snacks, fruits - excellent. Food was superb and abundant. A very good impression made me a rich menu of fruits and vegetables.

Perfect location along the river, you may walk and run in the morning. The hot spring and spa service in the hotel is really attractive. The staffs in the hotel are always very kind and helpful. Restaurant in the hotel provides good food, in which some are typical Hungarian food.

The Hotel was renovated in the last year. The rooms are comfortable, the lobby and bar are modern and tastefully equipped. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is ecxellent. Everytime again.

Very pleasant personal, modern interior, spacious hall and rooms. Excellent view from the room on Danube and Margit-Szigit Island. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Supermarket just opposite the hotel. Pleasant short walk to the city center.

Good: Breakfast was good overall. Maybe could have catered better for UK residents. Very clean and tidy. Bad: Maybe more/better coffee/tea making machines. Only some staff had good English.

Good: Facility is nice and clean. Very relaxed atmosphere. Very good breakfast. Front desk staff was cooperative and had a smile on face to welcome guests. Outside terrace is wonderful place to sit and relax if temperature allows to sit out. Bad: Staff in bar and restaurant should have more friendly attitude with a professional smile on their face. Especially at the restaurant, I felt that the young staff need a professional training. I did not see anyone serving with a smile. An important comment is that lifts were irritatingly slow and need some improvement.

Good: Great Spa and very nice breakfast. 10 minutes walk to metro, all public area very nicely renovated. Nice terrace. Bad: Nothing.

It is very convemient to my meeting location. It is bright clean and modern with wonderful facilities

Good: Perfect food and very kind stuff.

Good: Nice recently renovated hotel with great swimming pools and excellent breakfast.

Good: Parking and quiet zone. Bad: A bit too far from city center - had to drive there.

Good: I was just wondering why people stay at the hotel, resting in the lobby, why not go walking around the city. The hotel is in a exellent place next the river. A complete spa center with rehabilitation, Fitness, Sauna, Swimming pool, termale pool. Breakfast is exelent too. During weekend you can park for free in the town. Bad: It was to hot in room during night. But that did not diminish my impression of staying at the hotel.

Good: Excellent hotel with a river view. Great spa and swimming pool area with lots of choices and thermal waters. Great breakfast selection. The lobby and conference floors were renovated with modern design. The restaurant was still renovating but looked good from the windows. Bad: A bit far from the city center, but not too much and still able to walk to it. One day we went having breakfast at 9.30 so we weren't yet finished at 10 (breakfast time was 7-10) and they started spraying and cleaning tables as if we weren't there (there were other people eating too) and it was bad eating with cleaning spray smell!

Good: Staff, location very good , 20 minute walk from city centre. Bad: Temperature in hotel a bit too hot

Good: Very friendly and helpful staff. Fast WiFi. Convenient location - two (trolley)bus stops nearby, 10 min to Margaret Bridge or Heroes' Square. Spa amenities include one swimming pool, two hot pools, a dry sauna and a steam room. Small but well equipped gym with a dozen of machines, some free weights and treadmills. The bar is open until midnight and offers snacks, good beer and coffee. Bad: We didn't quite like the restaurant: the service was decent, but the atmosphere and food were on the dull side. You'll find other options relatively nearby, especially a very popular all-you-can-eat-and-drink restaurant, if you don't mind having a 15-min walk.

Good: Great value for money, I recomend and will be back again for sure.

Good: Good staff nice spa

Good: Staff was very nice and overall hotel had a great atmosphere.

Good: Very accommodating staff. Comfortable facilities. Lovely view. Bad: Children allowed to splash around in the hot Spa pools and people using their phones in the spa.

Bad: A wifi

Good: Spa, rooms and the food. Staff were very polite and professional. Bad: The Jacuzzi was out of service 2 days of our stay

Good: Wonderful for a wellness vacation, especially in January-February, when room rates as well as airline fares are very low. Even a cold winter in Budapest doesn’t matter since you can use the swimming pool (nice heated hall), three hot water pools, sauna (dry or steam) as well as the fitness center, massage (many kinds) and many other treatments. The staff was friendly and helpful in giving me my room before the official arrival time. There are many things to do in Budapest even in winter, for instance concerts, sightseeing, cafés and a charming atmosphere. I have stayed at this hotel several times and will most likely return. The room is available with or without breakfast, but with a coffee machine in the room, a small refrigerator (stocked with hotel drinks) and a supermarket opposite the hotel, you can save money on food. However, the hotel has an excellent bistro restaurant with several tasty dishes at reasonable prices. I did not try the main restaurant with buffet, because it would be more food than is good for me! The location is excellent just by the Pest riverside and has several bus stops 3-4 minutes from hotel with easy, quick, well-functioning, public transportation to the city center as well as to the Buda side of the river. For trip planning use BKK Futar and BKK Info Apps (also English). For people from EU countries at age 65+ all public transportation in Hungary is free and from 70+ most museums are free Have your passport with you to document age and country. Bad: The hotel is still being renovated but has come far and there is no inconvenience in spite of the renovation. The carpeting in the room areas needs renovation. Nearest metro is temporarily closed, but has replacement busses. The city busses 3-4 minutes from the hotel get you everywhere so no problem.

Bad: Everything was perfect.

Good: Beautiful town! Nice hotel Bad: Smell of chlorine in pulls

great food and spacious abd beautiful clean rooms

Good: - Bad: -

Good: Easy hop on bus and tram services Bad: Metro not working

Good: Very nice hotel, very clean, SPA, the view from the wondow Bad: Metro is abit distant. The closest line is closed for some works

Bad: Rooms were really warm, could not cool down enough.

Good: Good breakfast. Bad: The spa center was closed all day when I arrived,this was the main reason to stop there.

Good: The spa.. the view from the room. The friendly helpful staff.the food. The value for money. Bad: Need more choice on the menu for vegetarians.

Good: Great location, great staff, great everything Bad: The cleaning lady didn’t arange the bed

Good: The pool and spa facilities were excellent. very clean with a pool lifeguard assistant present overlooking the pools at all times. never too busy. Buffet meal at their restaurant in the evenings had a good choice and was surprisingly good value for money. Certainly didn't leave hungry ! Reception was always polite and friendly and also the front of house porter assisted us with storing our cycles in the secure compound at the front door. Bad: No negatives regarding the hotel. If I was to pick any fault it would be the location of the hotel being a 30 minute walk from the hub of the City. However the walk was along the river and very pleasant and you hardly realized the distance. Anyway it didn't bother us as we hired some cycles for the duration of the stay. The best way to see as much of this great City.

Good: ... Bad: ...

Good: Loved the Hungarian feel of the design of the hotel. The thermal pools were fantastic. Food was good too Bad: Nothing

Good: Spa center was very comfortable and its staff very friendly. Bad: Wi-Fi connection is too complicated and inconvenient. In my view, it does not comply with the recent GDPR regulation.

Excellent! The staff was friendly, professional and very supportive when I needed any assistance with transportation. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was included and was amazing, having huge selection of fresh pasteries/crossaints, coffees, juices, meat/cheeses, yogurts, cereal, bacon, sausage, eggs and a fruit and salad bar. It made waking up worthwhile. I loved the modern furnished lobby and beautiful spa with hot pools. I would definitely recommend to my family and friends!

Good: Spa, location Bad: Small room but the price is adequate.

Good: All ok! Bad: Payed swimming poool

Good: Everything

A little out of the way, a very pleasant 2km. walk by the river to the Parliament buildings, so a great way to burn off the calories from an excellent breakfast. Access to the different indoor pools and convenient shopping close by make the stay even more pleasant. Helpful staff add to a great stay. We were initially concerned about the distance to downtown but once we got to know our way around, it was no longer a oroblem. We'd stay here again, with pleasure.

Good: Good location, clean room and excellent spa. Bad: Nothing important.

Good: Room was fine. Nice facility including the pool and dinning room Bad: All Ok

Good: Loved the comfy beds and absolutely heavenly pillows. Loved the spa facilities. Excellent massage.

Good: close to the center but need to take bus Bad: closest metro station is under reconstruction

Good: the facilities the hotel is good the decoration nice the massage good Bad: they need to improved the cleaning the shower in the sauna the wall they had mould all shower around the swimming pool need more attention to clean. Location Tip: location good easy to go any where in transport public the Hotel is four star but the staff need more about customer care because I ask how I going to take transport public and what is the principal place the interest for tourist I surprised I don't had any answer need any help. the staff no very friendly and difficult to get any question. Restaurant need to improved the food because everyday the same food on the buffet and no very hot the coffee the served cold

Good: Hotel is on he banks on Danube a short walk to centre, although a walk there are trams and buses also. The hotel food was amazing as was the spa facilities which we used daily. The staff were excellent some of the best customer service and even allowed us to check in early as we arrived off an early flight which was excellent.

Good: the staff was very helpful and kind; the view from the room was beautiful; the breakfast was ok, but everyday the same options. Surroundings are really cool for a walk close to the river. I enjoyed it very much. Bad: the room close to elevator was terrible because you can listen 24hours the elevator working :( the elevator was working very slowly, and the doors were taking ages to close; if you need to use it few times in a short period of time, this can be irritating

Good: Great hotel, well placed with very friendly staff. Bad: Bedrooms and bathroom could do with a freshen up

Excellent hotel, convenient location to local transport, which gets you to city centre to hop on hop off buses. Lovely thermal pools, good breakfast and nice new clean hotel.

Good: Very helpful staff, great pool and facilities, great value for money for what’s on offer. Would recommend people stay there. Has its own taxis which offer fair prices into the city centre. Bad: Rooms could do with an upgrade to match the rest of the hotel. Additional staff on the front desk is needed due to long waiting times to get their support. English tv channels would make it perfect.

Good: Room was great, Comfortable bed. Food was delicious, alot to choose from

Good: - great hotel with good location. - less than 10 minutes of walking to the subway - 25 minutes of walking to the center - big private parking - staff was friendly - comfortable room - a very comfortable bed - a supermarket is across the street (working hours 7 am - 17 pm)

Good: We stayed just the night. Location was excellent. Staff was friendly and in all good value for money

Great location, right on Danube River. Short walk to shops and restaurants.

Good: Comfortable room, great spa facilities and sun roof

Good: Fantastic breakfast

Good: luxury breakfast, friendly personal, nice city Bad: everything was alright

Good: Всё

Good: Best apartment to stay when you visit Praga. Hope to back soon.

Good: The hotel is easily reachable by Bus and we were able to explore the City Center at night. The Staff were very helpful giving us directions and suggestions of what to see. The facilities are very clean and the Spa was wonderful having been at a festival all week. The robes provided were a great touch!

Good: The location is outstanding; on the banks of the Danube and a 15 minute walk to the centre of Pest. The hotel facilities are excellent and the staff are exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Bad: It was all good.

Good: Every Thing Bad: Clean sheets and Towels every day

Good: location

Good: The swimming pool and wellness facilities. Location. Bad: Disabled facilities: no shower seat or a proper dedicated disabled shower stool/chair. The stool provided was very flimsy and therefore unsafe, which then was replaced by a garden chair. Shower head fixed high up and not adjustable, therefore totally unreachable from a wheelchair or chair. They hung it for me on the grab bar. I'm afraid this is a blind spot of most hotels in the world.

Good: Breakfast was tasty Bad: Nothing

Good: I loved everything about this hotel, the pool and spa facilities were my favorite part!

Good: Room with a balcony and stunning view of Danube. Really nice pool Bad: Decor a bit dated , hotel needs a refurb

+ Parking is wel arranged + Staff is extremely friendly and helps with everything (during the day but also during the night) + Taxi service in the lobby + Great taxi drivers who work for Danubius + Very clean rooms + Very comfy bed + Free use of the pool(s) and sauna which are very clean + Has a modern and luxurious look in the lobby + Bar and restaurant + Great breakfast variaty + Only 8 minutes from the city centre by taxi and only a 30 minute walk - Rooms are a little bit outdated, but all the good things about the hotel make up for it! Would definitly stay here again!

Good: very nice staff great service!!

As with all of Northern Europe, temperatures were 34 degrees the week we were at Helia Budapest. So it was refreshing to come back to in the afternoon. The hotel is beautiful, and bar and restaurant around normal prices with quality food and drink. There is a Bubi bike rental station outside, so you can easily walk or ride the couple of km along the Danube to parliament or onto Margaret island.

Good: Very nice location. Very clean. Good rooms. Very helpful staff. Easy check in and check out.

The view of Danubius from the room was awesome while at nightfall. Before always stayed in Budapest city center, glad to make a change staying here. Probably will come back next time. The only one dislike here is the shower head too old style, also the temperature of showing was not stable...

Hotel was approx 3-5 km from the heart of the city but still on river. Taxi drivers try to charge a night fee (double) and this is not allowed so don’t pay it. The hotel staff were exceptional and spoke English, easy check in and check out. We were upgraded and the room was lovely and big. Great amenities. One thing our service maid didn’t do her job everyday ... bins nots always emptied and cups never washed. Otherwise couldn’t fault this hotel.
