Danubius Hotel Gellért

Rich historical experience with its stunning Art Nouveau architecture and famous thermal baths. While the views of the Danube River are spectacular and the service is warm, the hotel falls short in modern amenities, showing signs of its age. Unfortunately, the quality doesn't quite match the high price, making it worthwhile primarily for those who appreciate its historical significance.

Not worth the money. Beautiful architecture but horrible service - no free towels, bathrooms not working, no jacuzzi, unclear why they require swimming caps only in one pool. Poland and Romania have better thermal baths!

Luxurious Hotel. Next to the hotel functioning the worldwide famous Gellért Thermal Bath.

This hundred year old Hotel is perfectly located to explore Budapest! The rooms are nice and comfortable. Ask for a River View room, the view is wonderful. Three of those have a large balcony, which is perfect for an evening drink and cigar. :) Note: As is common in traditional European hotels, these rooms are NOT air conditioned. They have copious windows and a fan. The river-view rooms get a lot of sun. While the shady side rooms, and the common areas were quite cool, even in July, The 2 days when the temp got up around 30c, it was a bit warm. The rest of the time it was fine. The world-famous Gellért Baths are located in the facility. The famous Hungarian "Statue of Freedom" and Freedom Bridge are literally across the street. Most of the must-see sights are within walking distance, or use the electric scooters that are always nearby (I prefer "Lime", as they are most prevalent.). Local Bus and Metro stops are also right next to the hotel, as well.

Very nice hotel! Wonderful architecture. Comfortable placement. The best staff! We stayed at the hotel at the end of July. There were air conditioners in our room and the room of our friends. Big rooms. Comfortable beds. Lovely view! The hotel has a special spirit! Want to say "Thank you" to the receptionists, who helped us in any questions!

On the outside looks amazing but the inside is looking rather bad. In the rooms there is no air conditioning, no soaps. The corridors look like you’re in a horror movie in a hospital, white shiny doors all along. It does have a great location and used to be such an important place in Budapest but unfortunately now the comfort here is significantly lower than it is expected from a hotel of such past fame.

This hotel is way past its prime and the entire operation is tired. Despite the presence of some ‘old world charm’, the rooms are two star at best, the restaurant serves frozen meat warmed up for the dishes, the bathrooms are badly maintained closets with rotting wood & peeling paint, and the overall impression is one of disappointment. Hotel guests can avail the nearby baths for 10% less than visitors from the street but - in what must be an international first - hotel guests must pay €3 for disposable slippers, not to mention going down to reception barefoot to buy them! Honestly, I want to love this hotel but the decor, amenities and food are so far below 4 star that I feel ripped off.

Great location, looking over the river and city. Next to the lookout and park. The spa is really fun and a good way to spend half a day. Good service and lots to choose from at Breakfast. They let us check into our room early and gave us an upgrade to a really big room. We will stay here next time we're in Budapest.
