I had a memorable stay at this resort spa, featuring clean, comfortable rooms and excellent thermal baths. The staff were polite, but service outside of the front desk needs improvement, especially concerning the wellness area. The hotel also faced construction noise, which was a downside. Overall, it's a great option for spa lovers who want to relax and enjoy the treatments offered.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the breakfast spread was exceptional, with plenty of options to kick start the day, I encountered some issues with cleanliness and noise from rowdy groups. The facilities were quite good, particularly the spa, but the maintenance could certainly use some attention. Overall, a decent place but not without its drawbacks.

My overall experience at the Danubius Hotel Helia was unfortunately disappointing. While I appreciated the nice spa facilities and beautiful views of the Danube, my stay was marred by issues with cleanliness and service. Though the buffet dining was quite good, the experience was ultimately overshadowed by the less-than-satisfactory room conditions and inadequate air-conditioning. The location also provided easy access to public transport, which was a plus.
