Danubius Hotel Gellért

Proximity to spa and bridges and shopping areas. It has a lovely olde world feel to it.

Yes... I booked a twin room on internet or at least I thought I booked a twin room. On arrival I was told that there was no twin room available. The man on the desk was not at all friendly about it.. Arrogant and unconcerned in fact. When I looked at my document It stated double/twin room?????? They are not the same thing and one should be able to clearly state either one or the other. It got us off to a bad start and we were not happy. On demand it was sorted the next day but again we had to spend some of our valuable time worrying about the location of luggage etc. ???? I would like to know what the story is here.

gellert baths are really extraordinarily beautiful and relaxing, very good breakfast buffet, beautiful old building, the bed was comfortable, not too soft and clean

the carpets are worn out and the cupboard was a bit smelly.

The location and style of the Hotel is excellent

I thought the breakfast area was very disorganised. You wre not shown to a table but had to 'find one' and although there was a good choice of hot and cold food the quality wasnt very good!

The very friendly and obliging staff (reception, doorman, porter, housekeeping) and ideal location of this hotel always bring me back. Located directly in front of the Freedom bridge and beside a major tram stop, you can easily get to anywhere you need. The breakfast buffet is extensive and good. Free access to the Gellert baths is an added bonus. Lots of tourist sites very close by.

Some of the hotel rooms need refurbishing. Single rooms can be quite small. No free WiFi.

Nothing, my room was awful, small furniture old broken, bathroom small no shampoo etc. This hotel is supposed to be a 4 star I would be pushed to give it 2 x stars.

Spa facilities were very good and we used them everyday. Buffet breakfast had lots of variety and was good quality generally.

However breakfast coffee was not good, not fresh and hot. Also the hot water in our room was not hot for a bath or shower, fortunately we had the spa but still the room should have hot water.

The building and setting are magnificent, but the rooms urgently need to be renovated, both from a technical point of view (heating did not work with 0 C outside!), and from a aesthetic/ comfort point of view. Obviously, the thermal baths are splendid!

It was wonderful to have such easy access to the spa facilities and lovely outdoor area. We didn't leave the hotel at all. We had a lovely breakfast in the beautiful, spacious dining room. I also liked the spacious public areas, the old artworks and the newer stained glass windows. Our primary reason for staying at the hotel was the access to the spa so I wasn't concerned about the older appearance of the room. I appreciated the size of the room, the extra furniture, the terrace and of course the view.

Probably the pool and the baths and the exterior of the Hotel

I stayed in a single room and it bought me back to the days of boarding school,the room was a 2* at best,like a Hostel room.I asked for upgrade and they showed me a room with a carpet that was filthy,when I told reception it was filthy he said 'yes we know' with a smug smile on his face. Don't get the breakfast option as it is not worth it you can cross the bridge and there are plenty of places over there.

We are frequent visitors to this hotel for many years. All staff are attentive and extremely helpful. The refurbishment programme is ongoing and where finished the rooms are excellent and mostly with fantastic views of the Danube and across to Pest and to the Gellert Hillside. Spa facilities and service at this hotel remain of the highest standard and the coffee shop, restaurants and bars serve good international and local dishes. The location is served by excellent tram services to take you to the many tourist locations and to make good connections with a comprehensive underground and rail service. The city of Budapest is packed full of sights and places to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

Experiencing a little of old world Budapest. The spa was great and very atmospheric.

The glory is a little faded...

The service of the staff was good and there was a rich breakfast buffet to look forward to in the morning. The restaurant also serves delicious food.

The only thing I didn't like was that the building and the rooms looked rund down. It's a grand building and I think it is time for a renovation so it can obtain some of its glory back.

The spa and the location of hotel

I had a single room,it was very small,the furniture was in poor condition and the carpet was filthy,the same one that was laid down in 1918 when the hotel was built I think!!
