Reviews of Danubius Hotel Helia's guests

Good: Superb hotel. They were just finishing the renovations when we arrived but it made no impact to our stay. Superb breakfast. Staff were exceptional and the spa was of very high standard. Reasonable prices for high quality treatments Bad: The hotel is a good 40 minute walk from the centre. Part of the metro is closed so its either walk or taxi into the centre. Not many restaurants nearby to the hotel. Bathroom was very small. Air conditioning not very good.

Good: Spa, breakfast and personnel. Bad: Room was very hot for me personally.

Good: Location is decent. If you like you can walk to city center. It will take you around 45 minutes. Breakfast is plentyfull and diverse, I realy recomend it. The staff was veru nice and helpfull. The SPA was decent also, but nothing special :) Bad: Spaces around the pools were a Little dirty, but maybe it was like that because it was late when we arrived (at around 7pm) Because of the renovation that was ongoing, there was some noise a little to early for my taste :) ( aprox 8am if I remember correctly )

Good: this hotel is well situated for sightseeing of Budapest. Confortables rooms, pools with mineral water, very plaisent staff speaking differents languages, very good breakfasts отличный отель, удачно расположенный , удобно добираться до центра, напротив супермаркет. Персонал говорит на английском, да и на русском языках (как минимум :)) Удобные комнаты, термальные бассейны, небольшие, но нам хватило: очень приятный бонус после посещения города. Завтраки приобретали отдельно, но они того, поверьте, стоили. Cet hôtel est bien situé pour visiter les curiosités de Budapest. Chambres sont confortables, cet hôtel a des piscines avec de l'eau thermale et c'est inclus dans le prix: un bonus super agréable après la visite de la ville Petits déjeuners sont parfaits Le personnel parle plusieurs langues Bad: -

Good: Everything, money for value

I enjoyed staying at this hotel. I took a room with a balcony and the view of the Danube and the city illuminated at night just wonderful. Next to the hotel there is a bus stop so that everything is accessible. There is a supermarket next to the hotel. Breakfast served here is rich and varied. The staff is very kind. The hotel is clean and elegantly decorated. The spa is great and pampering. I definitely highly recommend coming here.

Bad: Slab wifi

My husband and I stayed there from 26th until 30th March. It was fabulous. We had a beautiful view of the river Danube & the room was tidy with a well stocked fridge. We also ate in the cafe bar several times and the food was tasty with excellent speedy service. The jewel in their crown was definitely the spa. There were 3 pools; 1 for swimming and 2 thermal pools....32-34 & 36-38 degrees and a large jacuzzi. We both had a fish pedicure together.....strange sensation but absolutely recommend it. I also had a golden massage to start off my 50th birthday celebrations which was thoroughly enjoyable. The staff were friendly and helpful. After we checked out, we were able to use the leisure facilities as we had a late flight. Can't recommend this hotel enough.

Good: Location, size of room, clean, historical

Very good services,very nice and helpfull staff,nice river view from my room , I am here for a kizomba festival and I was pleasant surprised from the staff hotel because was my birthday! I recomand. Thanks for your great gesture ! I really appreciate!

Good: Spa

Good: We didnt use the carpark. But had alovely stay. Even with a revamp happening at the time we stayed. Bad: I have no complaints everything was lovely

Bad: The cooked breakfast elements were very poor Cooked sausages were cold. No bacon. Eggs were runny. ave you eveyr had sprouts and green beens served up for breakfast as a hot option?

Good: Great facilities, Breakfast, Pool and Spa, well maintained. Helpful Staff. 4 Star experience. Bad: More soap in Bathroom dispenser.

Good: The spa & gym facilities and location of the hotel. Bad: Only one restaurant within the complex

Good: La posizione Bad: Bathroom

Good: Old hotel with good quality. A bit far away from city center but you can simply use public transport. Bus stops in several directions are located 50 meters from hotel. Bad: 1. The price of breakfast is quite high. 2. There was a kettle in room but there wasn't drink water provided. 3. Some visitors can not or do not want to read prohibition sign and staff can not affect on their behavior. Eating and jumping to water in pool area give some discomfort for relax. Penalty may be effective.

Good: Great in evey detail. Will be back again! Bad: Parking price is high, and for returning guest can be even free ;-)

Good: Courtesy Bad: Work in progress in the hall

Good: Great spa and fitness room, nice rooms with comfy beds. Friendly staff. The location was perfect for my needs, little bit outside from all the main buzz, but all in short walking distance. Bad: The breakfast did not meet my expactations, but of course not bad at all, but not great either. Bacon could make the difference (winkwink)

Good: I stayed at this hotel each time I went to Hungary as I liked the spa at this hotel Bad: The swimming pools were reconstructed and the hydro massage is not working anymore. Unfortunately!

Good: steam room, sauna weight training room and the numerous pools Bad: would be nice if it had a separate public bar Location Tip: close to local market hall and west end shopping center the room rate was very cheap for such a quality hotel

Each night we returned home to the hotel and relaxed in the spa centre . Yes we shall return

Very clean rooms, river view, spa facilities and pool. Gave me a surprise cake for my birthday - great customer service

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.

Good: Wellness was great!

Good: breakfast Bad: No rules in sauna. people in sauna were loud, they were dressed in swimming suite.

Good: בריכה !

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?

Hotel has great views with superb spa and bathing facilities, although a little out of town has very good bus service of 7 minutes into centre,food is very good all in an excellent stay

Good: Nice view to Danube. Good breakfast and coffee bar and dinner. And I liked the swimming pool! Bad: A bit too far to walk to old city and city centre.

Good: THE ROOMS ARE CLEAN ! BREAKFAST EXCELENT ! SO MANY HOT FOOD. FRESH JUICE (ORANGE+BANANA,CARROT, BEET,CUCUMBER). SO GOOD VEGETARIAN HOT FOOD AND VERY GOOD SMOKED CHEESE. THE SWIMMING POOLS AND THERMAL POOLS: 26 C, 36 C, 38 C, GREAT Bad: Parking is expensive, it's good to be free, but it's safe and secure! Is perfect can not say anything negative, is the best hotel I stayed at! The metro is a short distance, but you can prefer the bus.

Good: spa is excellent take advantage of thermal baths Bad: Bar meal was nothing to write home about

Good: The bed is extra comfy, staff is great, so friendly. Room is very clean, breakfast exceeded my expecations! Everything was GREAT.

The staff were easy to work with and were happy to accommodate my requirements. It was always easy to get a cab organised and address given to driver...as I don't speak German or Hungarian...The food was great whether buffet or menu.

Nice hotel but bad location. Good spa. Breakfast isn't too good. Nice room. River view.

Location Tip: 3.5 km far from the city center Nich hotel, excellent thermal bath, not a very good location, staff are helpful to a limited extent, breakfast is not bad

Easy to get to. Easy to talk with very accomodating staff. Wonderful.stay

Good: Location a little bit distanced from the city center but on the other hand it was quite and peaceful. Hotel is placed at the river, so if you book a room with this view you will not regret that :) At the hotel, there is a restaurant and a bar. Apart from that the whole SPA facility.

Good: The Spa was very clean Bad: Some of the Staff in the front desk were not very helpful

Good: Excellent staff and everybody was very helpful. Comfortable bed and pillow. The pools were good. The dishes in the restaurant were excellent,and very cheap for a 4 star hotel. Bad: Door rooms are a bit loud as they close. It was warm in the room,and the air conditioner was not working, but i opened the window..

Bad: there is no drink water offered

Good: wellnes service, location Bad: wifi speed

Good: The leisure center was amazing. a lot of healthy choices for breakfast, extremely clean and comfortable. Bad: Staff could have been a little friendlier.

Good: Lovely hotel reception and concierge staff very helpful and pleasant

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.

Good: Included breakfast was outstanding. Bad: Nothing. Great view of the Danube, easy 20 minute walk along the Danube to the Parliament Building.

Pleasant and reenergising on my way East! Excellent frontdesk personnel. Can't wa it to get back . Love the spas.

Good: Breakfast was good , wide selection of food. Staff very friendly and keen to assist.

Good: Good bed. Good leisure facilities. Reasonable value breakfast and dinner Bad: Nothing

The hotel is very nice and clam, but I went for conference so I was on my duty. It was a medium far from train station.However, it was very easy to went to downtown by subway train.Next time in Budapest,this hotel will be the first choice to stay.

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.

I am impressed about this nice hotel with impressive spa and comfortable conference rooms and impeccable service. The staff is very attentive and the there was a surplus of wonderful food available during our conference and breakfast and lunch. Thank You for a wonderful stay!

We were on official trip and stayed at hotel and also attended big workshop in meeting rooms of same hotel for 3 days. Very caring staff. Nice workshop facilities. Room had very nice river view. I recommend to others. Very nice breakfast with huge variety.

The first impression of the hotel is very good. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. My room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The food in the restaurant was beyond good. So I enjoyed my stay.

This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.

Good: все

Good: Perfect service at the reception, great location, clean rooms Bad: everything was just fine, no issues at all

Good: The buffet meal in the evening was excellent, both in quality and value for money. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Bad: The toiletries are a little lacking compared to similar hotels, and the beds are relatively basic (comfortable enough, but a little "tired"). The rest of the room is great though.

Good: The hotel was for a fair price. It was a really nice and clean facility compared to others in the surrounding area. The thermal pools and spa area were a nice touch. Bad: The beds were not very comfortable, and the setting was meant for a much older crowd.

Good: Todo Bad: Nada

Good: Very Cleen, friendly staff

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.

While not so central in town, it's beautifully located by the Danube river with views of Margaret island.
