This is a review for Danubius Hotel Hungaria, as the original Hotel is being renovated and I was offered a free transfer. Everything was great, thank you very much for your hospitality!

Good: The hotel has its benefits and problems. The biggest benefit is the location, easy access to everything and right in the city center. The staff was also very nice and accommodating. The room was decently sized and the stay was definitely worth the money, even with the problems listed below. Bad: The hotel is very dated. The room had a lot of old age stains and holes and so on. The bathroom had a serious mould smell as well. Overall, the place is very old and you can see why the cost as it is. Breakfast is not worth the money.

Good: The location is excellent — close to two different underground stations, with all major sights easily accessible on foot. There are also plenty of great restaurants and bars nearby, making it very convenient. My room was quiet and tidy, which made it perfect for the purpose of my business stay. The staff were polite and helpful. Breakfast offered a very good variety of food and beverages, which was more than satisfactory. Overall, for the price and location, this hotel offered great value, and I would happily stay here again.

Good: Location was great, price point was also very good. In general it is a very solid hotel just not something that will impress you. If you are looking for a center location with just about what you need, this is the place. A plus for room size too! And very friendly stuff which is also important. Bad: It feels dated. That is the main thing I can say about why this is not a higher review on my side. But again, very lovely stay, everything was good and solid. Was perfect for what we need to our stay as it was only 1 day in Budapest.

I have stayed at this hotel several times, and have never been disappointed. Great location with plenty of food options, coffee shops & supermarket nearby. Nice to have a room with coffee/tea making facilities and fridge. About the only thing I would change is the addition of an in-room safe. Friendly, helpful staff. Will definitely stay again.

Good: Location. Great breakfast. Bad: Staff not very helpful except tall gentleman. Room smaller and smelt musty in corridor. Looks a bit tired. Stayed extra night in upgraded room but stayed in same room instead of moving for last night then wouldnt give us breakfast despite paying extra. After arguing they relented but customer service training needs to happen here. A fellow in the foyer asked us what we thought of the hotel as he had made enquiries at the counter and found person unhelpful. Shame this could be so much better.

Good: Location is excellent. Close to 2 metro stations.bars are short stroll away. Staff were helpful and professional. Bad: Breakfast for the English could be better I realise trying to please different nationalities must be hard. Not many English people drink earl grey tea.boiled eggs are surely not hard to procure. One of the conveyer type toasters might be an asset with some sliced bread instead of continental cobs. This is an honest gripe. I still enjoyed my stay here. And would certainly stop here again.

Good: Been to the Danubius before, so have prior knowledge it is a good choice. For a one night stay at the start of a holiday in Hungary outside Budapest, a great choice. Everything was really pleasing, starting with how well located the Danubius Hotel is, near the route of the 100E bus from the airport. Nice room as expected. Efficient staff. For eating, recommend the Lajos Etterem. Would stay here again, definitely. Bad: Happy with all aspects of my stay.

Great location with friendly staff! We arrived early with 5 rooms booked, and 3 were available right away, so we could leave our bags there until the others were ready. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, and Lidl is just around the corner. The metro station is also very close. The location alone makes this place highly recommendable. As for the rooms, they could be cleaner and more modern, but considering the price, it's what you'd expect. We mainly used the hotel as a base for sleeping and showering, and it worked perfectly for that. Thanks again!
