About

Danubius Hotel Gellert - Budapest

Danubius Hotel Gellert occupies a striking Art Nouveau building on the Buda side of Budapest, with the Gellert Baths sharing its walls. Rooms range from economy courtyard views to superior options with river or hill outlooks; all come with heating, and most include a bathtub. Public spaces lean on the hotel's century-old character, with a spa and wellness centre, sauna, Turkish bath, indoor and outdoor pools, plus a restaurant and bar.

The location is the other headline: the Szent Gellert ter tram stop is at the door, the metro is a 5-minute walk, and the riverside is steps away. Breakfast is a generous self-service spread that guests consistently rate highly, and free Wi-Fi is included throughout. Paid parking and a business centre cover practical needs.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Thermal baths at your doorstep — Guests get free access to the adjoining Gellert thermal baths and spa, repeatedly called the hotel's main selling point.
  • Prized location — A tram stop is outside, the metro is a 5-minute walk, and the riverside and Gellert Hill are close. Several reviews single out the location as the best part.
  • Highly rated breakfast — The self-service spread is consistently praised — 'a feast', 'amazing', 'wonderful' — with hot options and views.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Aged furniture in some rooms — One guest noted the furniture is 'a little old fashioned' — the building's historic charm doesn't extend to every piece of decor.
  • Mixed review scores — With an overall rating of 7.8 and individual scores ranging from 5 to 9.6, experience can vary — one guest's 5/10 shows it's not universally adored.
  • Paid parking only — If you arrive by car, parking is available but not free — factor in the extra cost.

“The thermal baths were the standout, and the Parliament building is worth a visit. The breakfast buffet was generously stocked, and having the tram stop right outside made getting around easy. Don't skip the pastries.”
