Good,
Score from 884 reviews
“ Historic hotel with a romantic, "Orient-Express-ish" atmosphere a, magnificent breakfast, (from my point of view;) the best brandy in the world in the bar. The staff is very nice, the location close to perfect, and of course the spa is something special. I would like to stay there again. ”

Built in wonderful Art Nouveau-style and opened in 1918, the impressive Gellért hotel shares the building with the world-famous Gellért Spa. The Danubius Hotel Gellért is situated at the banks of the Danube river, at the foot of the Gellért hill, about a 10-minute walk from the city centre, the business areas and the next underground stop. The Duna Restaurant on the gallery level offers not only a gorgeous view over the Danube and the city with the Liberty Bridge, but also well-known gourmet cuisine. The Sörözõ Brasserie is the Gellért's casual restaurant for those who want to combine a relaxed atmosphere with first-class Hungarian and international cuisine. The café of the Gellért Hotel is a real temptation for lovers of home-made confectionery and aromatic, freshly brewed tea or coffee. Nearly all services of a medical spa are available, including rheumatism therapy, a comprehensive physiotherapy unit (day hospital) and inhalation facilities. The spa area is accessible for free once during your stay. Thereafter, additional entries are charged at half of the normal price. Hotel Rooms: 234, Hotel Chain: Danubius Hotels.

Location, style and spa faculties. The rooms and all associated buildings retain attractive period features. Access to the spa for 2 included in the price makes the overall value acceptable, and worth staying in this iconic hotel. For the price and class of hotel the in room facilities are not up to current expectations. There was a very limited amount of toiletries provided, the room still has a CRT TV, and is generally resourced at level expected of a 3 star hotel. The facilities could be easily upgraded without substantial refurbishment, and spoiling original features.

Only the SPA but the SPA was not allowed during our stay. Just once only!! In other hotels in Austria the SPA is included during your stay (eg.Bad Blumau) which is a first class hotel!! The Room was horrible! It was a smoking room. In the homepage I booked a nice room and they gave me an awful room. I will never come there or recommend this hotel to anyone. Horrible hotel.

1) The atmosfhere of the hotel recalls the old Austrian Hungarian Empire magnifificiencies. 2) The position of the Hotel in front of the Daniubius, very close to the heart of the City 1) Not possible to take a bath in the bathroom. I had it and had to call for assistance because of a flood in the bathroom. 2) WiFi connection problematic. I had to call the assistance for sudden connection interruption. i have been charged a phone call from the room that i have never done. 3) No girl in the lobby bar available, just in case...

Old world style of a 'Grand' hotel. Very full & generous breakfast buffet. One free visit to the Gellert Spa included in stay. Bathtub the size of a sarcophagus. Instant hot water. Bathroom needs to have an exhaust fan

Great hotel, very friendly helpful staff, ability to use the spa facilities free of charge once during the stay and at a 50% rebate for other times, walkable to central sights plus public transport outside the door. Nothing in particular.

Excellent breakfast Gppd looking lobby Tv at 23 Euros a day. Furniture in room was old and uncomfortable. No mini bar or Tv as advertised. Last night had to be moved due to excessive noise next door. Room very small and not worth the money

I loved the old charm and the location. The baths were great and the breakfast is fantastic! We chose the place for the quiet charm however, there was some kind of party in the lobbies that lasted from Saturday until Sunday afternoon. The lobby was crowded and loud. I wouldn't complain, but one of the doormen was rude to my husband about having his foot on a coffee table in the lobby. I thought it was rather odd that offended him when we couldn't even hear or move in the lobby for two days. There were surf boards, beach balls, flip flops, etc everywhere. There was even a women in a very suggested french maid costume running around. That offended me!

Hotel has a unique charm and location. Internet access in public areas is almost small. In 2013, a 4 star Hotel in the center of Budapest, it is sad that there is no free internet. I asked the internet for about a week at a price of about 80 euro! Gellert Thermal Baths too, but really too chaotic and noisy: I can understand the noise in the 'pool area, but in the thermal baths area no. Not really relaxing Holiday.

Lovely Art Nouveau decor, friendly staff. The baths are wonderful! Shabby and rather overpriced. But the worst was a weekend convention with all public spaces full of drinking and partying locals. The lobby turned into a vulgar and extremely noisy discotheque, the first floor into a village fare. Complete disrespect to paying hotel guests.

The building architecture, outside and reception, restautrant (+ views) and main features inside public spaces. The thermal baths, use of bathrobes. The first free use of the thermal baths breakfast and its young helping staff. The brasserie and its staff. The English speaking staff. My small room was nowhere near the standard of the rest of the hotel.The wardrobe was tired and smelly. I left my clothes in my suitcase. The bed was really tiny. Small sink in an awkward position. No fridge. I didn't complain as I did not have the time: 2 days. For a longer stay I would have moved to another hotel. Some of the staff were just too rude, especially the room service ones. The rest were polite but not as pleasant and obliging as in the other hotels I have been to. I was served a soup in a tiny bowl with a huge loaf of bread. Water was just ridiculously dear: 75 cl cost around £4. The window faced onto other rooms a few meter across a small atrium. I could hear the rain and noises like moving bins quite late in the night. Very noisy
