My stay at the Danubius Hotel Gellert was a good experience with its beautiful old-world charm and amazing views of the Danube.

My stay was a mixed bag at Danubius Hotel Gellert. The location is fantastic, with easy access to transportation and stunning views of the Danube. However, the interior is in dire need of renovation, and I found the rooms to be dated and somewhat uncomfortable. The dining experience was decent, especially the breakfast, but the service could definitely improve.

The hotel offers some nice amenities like car hire and laundry services, but the overall facilities feel dated and lack the charm I hoped for. The connected spa is a nice touch, though it’s under separate management.

My stay at Danubius Hotel Gellert was a mix of wonderful experiences and a few disappointments. The location is fantastic, right by the Freedom Bridge and close to various transport options. but my room was smaller than expected with some maintenance issues. Access to the thermal baths was a real highlight, and the breakfast offered a great selection. Overall, an enjoyable stay with room for improvement.

Rooms

My room was well apportioned with space for my belongings, but it faced a small, dark yard with a lot of noise, which made it unpleasant to keep the window open. The bathroom had a cracked wash basin and a bathtub that feels like it hasn't been updated since after the war.

My stay at the Danubius Hotel Gellert was a nice experience. The stunning views of the Liberty Bridge and the Danube truly made my visit special. While the hotel's old-world charm was appealing, I did notice some areas that could use a bit of sprucing up. Overall, I felt pampered and would love to return with a good deal in hand.
