Good: See above We stayed over the New Year period, the hotel was very busy but all the staff were very helpful and gave us good information. The breakfast was good, a wide range of food from cereal fruit cold meats, hot food porridge omelette to order etc. We booked in for the NYE gala dinner, this was wonderful. We had a room with a balcony over the Danube and watch fire works going off all of NYE A good 20 minute fast walk along the Danube gets you to parliament and the city You tcan take trolley bus 75 that goes passed the hotel to the Margaret Bridge A good tip, we took the hop on hop off big bus pass for 72hrs this includes as many hop on hop off stops during the day, a boat cruise, a night bus tour , a walking tour and the shuttle cart up to the palace on the Buda side. Each night we returned home to the hotel and relaxed in the spa centre . Yes we shall return

It’s an old school hotel, but actually a great one. One’ll get everything needed - complimentary coffee in the room, free pool, sauna and Turkish bath, and free and reliable Wi Fi. Rooms are old fashioned, with no glamour or modern design, but clean and cozy with comfortable beds. Choice of TV channels is limited and mini bar is not impressive. Parking is charged 10€ per day. Breakfast is senselessly expensive at 10€ per day per person, but it’s not needed actually. Danube view is amazing and city center is reasonably close - up to 30 mins by foot.

Bad: On Sunday, December 17, the SPA center was closed. Guests were not informed in advance that the SPA will not work on Sunday. On Saturday, December 16th, at the SPA's door was note that fitness room is closed on Sunday. And on Sunday there was an additional notice that the pool did not work that day either because of regular maintenance. Is it possible to organize regular maintain of SPA on weekdays rather than on weekends? Why guests are not informed in time that the SPA does not work?

Booked for short business trip. Excellent hotel in central Budapest location overlooking the river. Nice spacious and clean room. Ensuite was slightly tired but a good size and good facilities. Nice restaurant with piano music on the evening and nice breakfast in the morning. Easy to reach from the airport - took about 45 mins in a taxi mid afternoon.

Good: I already staid several times in the hotel. It's very clean overall, has a nice swimming pool and comfortable beds. Bad: Breakfast is expensive, better to go and grab something in the shop opposite. They also charge for parking, again, it's for free during the weekend or evening at the other side of the road with plenty of spaces. Swimming pool got filled up after 8 pm, so it's better to go earlier.

This is not the first time I have stayed at this hotel as I find it very friendly. I normally stay here with my husband but this time was with my sister. It was my birthday whilst I was here and the hotel kindly left myself and my sister two lovely cakes and sweets and home baked biscuits in our room on our return after a day out. It was very much appreciated.

We've stayed here a number of times now - the staff in the reception and bar/cafe area always remember us and welcome us. The facilities are excellent - much better than many of the 5* hotels in Budapest - very relaxing and as effective as going to any of the thermal baths. The hotel is located opposite Margaret Island, we had a fantastic view of the Danube and Buda Hills. Transport connections are good - using either the 75/76 tram, the M3 metro, or just enjoying the walk along the Danube.

Good: The view over the Danube and that it's location was ideal for us to get easily to the Duna Arena daily as we needed to. Bad: The property and staff themselves were great, the only downside was that although your booking process said that the rate was non-refundable, it ALSO stated that the card used would only be pre-authorised (which I was prepared for) and led me to believe that I could then pay with Hungarian Forints once there. I was not allowed to do this, being told that the payment had already been taken on the card. This left me with a large quantity of Forints on my return to the UK, on which I will lose a LOT of value to exchange back to Sterling. Had it been clear, I could have saved a lot of money by not taking out so much Hungarian currency in the first place.

Good: The beds were definitely comfy. Very much liked the swimming pool and the 'rocker' chairs to relax in around the pool. We found the staff helpful and friendly. In the restaurant the staff were always attentive without being overbearing. Bad: The air conditioning in the room wasn't particularly effective. We had ours down to 5 degrees but it was more like 20. Glad we didn't have a room where the sun streamed in (river views get the sun most of the afternoon). Although we weren't messy, some days the room or the crockery wasn't cleaned and one day the beds weren't made. That said, it wasn't a big let down or problem that would prevent me staying there again.

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.

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.
