Reviews of Danubius Hotel Helia's guests

Good: All went well. I just arrived to sleep. Bad: Everything was okay. I didnt have breakfast.

Good: All of it! Very good value for money. Bad: Could have done without the carpets, they were a bit smelly. The showerhead pointed towards the wall. A bit strange but fine :)

Hotel was just right for our needs. Good location, friendly staff and the pool and health spa provided a welcome break from our sightseeing. First class!

Good: The spa facilities, comfortable rooms, good breakfast and dinner Bad: I would appreciate if the hotel will find a better way to manage the usage of the parking. It is not very pleasant for the guests to have to wait in line at the reception to validate the parking tickets everytime they want to go out with car during the stay at the hotel

Great experience

Good: Loved everything about the hotel. Perfect bed and a clean room. They have beautiful thermal baths and a swimming pool. And also parking for a reasonable fee Bad: There's nothing I didn't like.

Good: The openness of the personnel. Very helpful! Bad: -

Good: Perfect location and really good breakfast

Good: The breakfast and the service Bad: The spa was closed on weekend

Good: Big whirlpool (automatic pauses and starts) Bad: Just a little confusion at check-in. The lady was very nice, but asked for my payment method for the mini-bar - which later on proofed to be nonexistent "due to corona situation". Then, the light for breakfast room goes out at 10:00, which wasn't common practice to me, but we were allowed to take the unfinished sandwich withus, that makes it alright again.

Good: great breakfast

Good: The danube view is fantastic, the room is very big, and the gym&spa are very nice. The food at the breakfast is very tasty. Bad: The location is a bit far from Budapest main touristic attractions. However, the hotel area is quiet and perfect for relaxing.

Good: Perfect location with river view, clean room, good swimming pool and sauna, friendly and helpful staff Bad: There is nothing to complain

Good: The breakfast was great, met all our expectations. The room was nice and comfortable and very clean. The staff was nice and polite. The spa is ideal for relax also with kids, its included in the price from 7 am to 10 pm anytime. The location of the hotel is also great-just a 8 min short walk from the Metro station, but far enough to not see the omnipresent tourist crowds. The view on the Danube, Margarethe island and Buda villas was in nice contrast with the metropolitan rush. Bad: The bathroom was a bit outdated and small. The spa was crowded in the morning with elderly locals, was not able to swim, but that can happen anywhere (it was nice to see the elderly taking care of their bodies and exercise to be able to walk and function in everyday life). The spa shower had some mould in corners..

Good: The service from the staff . Very hospitable and professional. Very clean . Good ambience Bad: To be honest , no complaints .

Good: really nice and wide variety of breakfast options. the room was clean and comfortable. the spa was big and calming. only the steaming room door wasn't closing properly. Bad: everything was fine

Good: Nice view on the Margaret island in Danube Nice bar Nice staff

Good: Balcony with view over the Danube, really fantastic!

Good: Spa Bad: We found a hair strand on our duvet.

Good: Comfy beds, nice swimming pool with warm water, great breakfast Bad: Lady receptionist on check in: no flexibility, indiference, no smile. The guys at check out next day were nice and friendly.

Good: wonderful Bad: people

Good: Very clean and tidy lovely friendly staff very attentive Great breakfast and pool area was amazing Bad: Only a really silly thing  but the TV only has news and sport on it

I enjoyed my stay at this beautiful hotel.

Good: I like everything about the Hotel. It was a wonderful experience. Bad: Nothing to mention.

Very nice place.

Good: Breakfast Bad: Nothing

Good: Good location,amazing view to the Danube river,,good services,bar & pool excelent. Bad: The bathroom was quite old,needs renovation.

Good: it is very beautiful & extremely clean. has all the facilities you will ever need

Good: Swimming pool. it is short :) 15 meters long and it is complicated to estimate it from photos)) but nevertheless that is a good bonus to gym

Excellent hotel

Good: the space, garden, the parking, the location, the two-floor gym, and staff Bad: the spa could improve by a lot!

Good: The food was great, room is excellent the spa is good Bad: -

Good: The bed is very very confortable. Nice view, everything good and clean Bad: Parking is 12 euros/day… This is a bit expensive

The suite was spacious with superb views over the river

Good: Did not have time for any of those... Bad: Nothing

Good: The pool is heated, like a thermal bath. Normally hotels have cold water pools that my children can’t swim in, but this one was super warm. The beds are huge and we didn’t really need a triple room for us (2+2). Totally recommend this hotel in Budapest!

Good: The hotel was nice, room was clean and wellness center is really nice and big. Breakfast is a great option with a lot of variety. Pools are clean and with great temperature for a relax evening. Bad: We ate one night in the hotel and while the service was ok, food took ages to be served.

Good: Very friendly and well organized Hotel. Room with spectacular Danube view and all amenities.

Good: Everything was excellent. Bad: I have nothing bad to say.

Good: Overall, our experience with the hotel was highly favorable. Nestled in a charming locale, it boasts a prime location just opposite an island on Danube with a magnificent view from hotel windows The hotel also good in terms of its proximity to public transportation. A bus operates directly from the hotel, and a metro line is conveniently within walking distance. While it's true that the hotel is somewhat removed from the city center, it remains remarkably easy to reach thanks to these transport links. Upon our late-night arrival, we discovered that our room's air conditioner was not functioning. Despite the late hour, the hotel staff addressed the issue promptly and professionally. They sent technicians to verify that the air conditioner was indeed faulty, and when it couldn't be fixed, they kindly offered to move us to another room. During our departure day, we had to leave early, and hotel staff prepared and packaged our breakfast ahead, which was a gesture we greatly appreciated. Bad: -

Good: Pool Bad: WiFi was very slow

Good: The location was excellent and as we arrived early and left late we were fully assisted with leaving our luggage and using the hotel facilities. The view from our balcony was beautiful.

Enjoyed walking down the Danube and being out of the hustle and bustle.

Good: spa is wonderfull

Good: Very clean, excellent room temperature, secure car park at an acceptable price, good location-not far from centre but far enough away from the hustle&bustle. Bad: No menu card in the room or information booklet - I called room service at 22:10 asking for room service (pre-booking info said room service available) only to be told that the kitchen is closed.

Good: It is exactly how it is described. The rooms were big and clean. The staff was lovely

Good: Staff was really helpful, I had a really great stay

Good: Everything. Friendly staff, clean, good breakfast Bad: Gym opens at 7!

Good: comfortable, big, full gym and spa facilities, good restaurant, variety for the breakfast, comfy beds and pillows

A lovely hotel close to the river, excellent location and tasteful breakfast!

Good: Good location. Bad: .

Good: Close to bus station, nice view on the river, beautiful surroundings. The stuff in the hotel very friendly and accommodating. Loved thermal pools in the spa Bad: Everything was great

Good: The staff was so friendly and helpful! The hotel was overall a wonderful stay.

Good: Heated pools, good breakfast,exellent wiew from the room, 10min walking distance from metro.

Good: -Spa, amazing indoor swimming pools (4 with different temperatures). -Bar, good food and the sympathy of employees (all of them). - Receptionists and housekeeping, everything was perfect.

Great spot for a conference. The hotel provided most of what was needed and was only a few steps from the river. The view was nice and relaxing. The food was ample an fantastic.

Good: The room was clean and the view is amazing. The breakfast was good including a variety of food options. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to use the spa. Bad: Nothing, in general all was good.

Good: The room was clean , we had available bathrobes for the indoor wellness area. The wellness area was clean and not full of people. The breakfast was ok. Location is ok, close to the Danube.

Good: The breakfast was excellent 😊

Good: personal, comfortable beds, possibility to buy smth or have a drink, fast snacks or dishes at bistro in lounge zone. Bad: we got DBL that had a connectional door for the next room. that’s why it was uncomfortable because of noice. lets offer it only for families 2x DBL with this door connection. don’t make if for independent guests.

Good: Good location, just by the river. Great ambient, quality personnel ready to help in any time. Good breakfast with a lot of choices, accompanied with coffee, tea and juices. Great closed pools with variations of water temperature, from big pool for swimming to small poll with hot water and bubbles. Bad: In time of reservation there was mistake on Booking, closed pools were separated in 4 categories (there is 4 pools), and for one it says that it is working until 23:00 every day, which was mistake that we learned hard way... If you pay 150e for room for night you can expect to get free parking space, not to pay extra for it, parking is open (not a garage), car is not secure from rain, leaves and flowers, birds.

Good: perfect breakfast, good location, by the river , big parking place , nice swimming pool Bad: parking should be free for hotel guests. They charge you 12 euro even you stay at the hotel

Bad: Issues with TV. The screen froze very often and it was necessary to restart it.

The location was good. Nice amenities

professional friendly staff inclusing front desk and waiters. professionals all the way. thank you

Good: awesome Bad: nothing

Good: The breakfast was very diversified. The room was large and clean . The spa was very nice. It was a good experience.

Good: Breakfast was really great, with lots of choice. The view from the hotel room was absolutely amazing. Parking place. Bad: Hungarian food is too salty for our taste :)

Good: all Bad: nothing

Good: Nice clean rooms with bath, close to city center (like 20 mimutes by walk) Solid wifi, smart tv and coffe set available. Pool accesible whole day included in price. There are three pools, two of them are 38 -35 degrees warm, one with whirlpool part. Almost no kids around, so it was very relaxing stay for us. Pools are big enough and they was not covered with ppl. Great breakfasts. There is no minibar in room, but grocery shop is stright behind hotel. Staff at breakfasts and reception was very nice and helpful. Bad: Lobby bar is not very comfortable, staff was not friendly there and drinks and food is not worth the price. Bar in wellness area is closed. We use to have at least coffee or some nice lemonade while we stay whole day at the pool and there is no possibility at least bring something from lobby bar. Not very nice view. We got back room even those with view at Danube river are promoted. Anyway still it was very nice stay.

Good: The hotel is excellent. Clean, spacious. The spa is open until 10 pm. Good parking in front of the hotel. Close to the Danube river and Margit Island. We will definitely come again. For every recommendation. Bad: All was fine. I have no objections.

Good: the spa is excellent . team members are friendly and have great knowledge. The lady in the Yellow bar remembered us ( we stayed here in 2018) Mr Pokorny in the restaurant is always friendly and hard worker.

Good: Great location, great breakfast, clean room and comfortable bed Bad: -

Good: From beginning to end it was special stay, staff did their best fo make us comfortable. Breakfast was so nice and special and tasty with various choices. Loved swimming pools, salt cave, view of river was special. Bad: I don't have anything to put on this list.

Good: Very nice hotel, not far from city center (via public transport). the staff was very friendly and helpful. Bad: the prices of the additional services were higher than expected, however they were high quality.

Good: Everything was great, food and apartman also wellness, but what was missing the glassis for the water.

Good: We had a room with a view of the Danube which was pretty awesome to be able to sit by the window and watch the sun set over the Danube. Comfortable bed but pillows were terrible. Great pool area with spa.. massage facilities which made it a point of difference to relax after a day of sightseeing. Beautiful grand piano with relaxing music. There were multiple lounge areas to relax and have a glass of wine or a bite to eat. Staff were very helpful and anything you asked them it was done promptly. Fantastic buffet breakfast, so many choices for any taste buds. Great coffee ☕ Bad: We travelled in April so just in spring but the hotel advertised air conditioning but it's not turned on until summer which made the room a little stuffy at night. While we could open the window slightly, we then had traffic noise. Even after asking staff to possibly put the air-conditioning on it's policy to turn on in the summer months only. Just a little peeved it's not mentioned on their website.

Thank you for the warm welcome, the good breakfast, the cleanliness of the rooms, the excellent spa, the staff professionalism, smile and kindness. We thoroughly enjoyed our Easter break with you. You made us feel at home. Your hotel is clean. The breakfast buffet is varied and healthy. Your staff is welcoming, helpful and speak English well. Keep up the high standard, we will come back.

Friendly staff, clean rooms with a great view. My next choice will be this hotel again.

Good: A very good hotel, worth the money.A rich breakfest with a variety of food vegetables,fruits,deserts,comfortable room, three fantastic therme pools and one swimming pool.Parking available,wonderful location.I will come back with pleasure next time.

Good: Nice hotel with pools and a sauna. The staff was friendly and helpful and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Overall, I had a great experience at this hotel and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Bad: -

I want to thank the staff for the warm hospitality, the food was great, the rooms were clean. Because we left early to the airport we couldn't make it to breakfast and the staff prepared an early breakfast for us without us even asking which was a nice touch. I highly recommend this hotel!

Good: SPA

Good: The service and the attitude of the staff was high standard. In every departement we have felt our self as guests in a 5 star hotel. Breakfast with wide range, spa with great options, amazing massage, unique salt cave experience, delicious food in the bar/restaurant, huge bed in the room, view with Donau river, available parking place in front of the hotel etc. Everything was suitable to enjoy our stay, and just relax. Bad: The room with the bathroom was a bit old fashioned for the eyes. Clean and well equipped but not modern. Lobby, spa and Restaurant have been already renovated and new. I guess rooms are the next step. But that was only an issue for the outfit, for the look. Room was spotless and comfortable.

Visited during new years with kids and friends.We really enjoyed our stay.The hotel was not in the city center but ok.

Good: good standard and therme Bad: Parking under payement

Good: Great location if you want to be right on the Danube and in a more quiet/local part of the city. Bad: The amenities in the room were just ok. The amenities of the hotel were nice.

I like this hotel very much.👌 The hotel is nearby the bus station 1 min walk, which takes you to the metro station 5 min only. The staff, Reception, housekeeping, service, and SPA people were all professional. The room is good in size and it has a very beautiful View of the river. The room service is fast 👌 Good prices, I hope these prices never increase

Good: Location, staff, facilities, food Bad: Bathroom

Good: Breakfast and spa Bad: The bed was too soft for my taste.

Good: Everthing was perfect!

Good: We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel! The rooms were great as well as breakfast which offers a lot of options (even lactose fee options, which was so nice) and there is a nice in-house bistro with good food. The location is really good, calm area next to Daube river but close to bus and metro station. Spa facilities were nice, as expected - 3 pools and 2 saunas. I would definitely recommend this hotel, it is excellent value for money.

Good: Excellent hotel with wonderful staff, who were all genuinely kind and helpful. Quiet, comfortable room and delicious breakfast. The spa is also great with swimming pools and a jacuzzi. Bad: There was nothing that I didn't like.

Good: Spa & Breakfast were awesome

Good: The swimming pools are very nice. The breakfast is rich. Good hotel overall. Bad: -

Good: Everything was good.

Good: Food was fresh and there plenty to choose from.

Good: I like the quite environment and very helpful and professional staff. Excellent room service and meals Bad: Room cleaning is done rather late and it inconveniences guests especially on a weekend when you want to rest in the afternoon/evening. Also cleaners need to be more keen on what needs to be replaced in a room. E.g you realise that shower gel is finished when you are already in the shower and can't come out.

Good: . Bad: .

Good: Very clean and nice hotel, very friendly and helpfull stuff. Bad: Only thing bothering was the renevations. But when they are done i think hotel will be perfect
