Danubius Hotel Gellert

Breakfast, Sunday brunch and thur baths!!!

Nice room, but the bed and pillows were awful.

Location is perfect, with all public transport available just in front of the hotel

Amenities in the room not sufficient. Even water boiler is not available.

Hotel is beautiful, spa was great. I went early, wasn't busy. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel is in great location, nice walk into centre to Christmas markets. Post box outside was handy. Only issue for me was breakfast - on first day, there was no available table. So I sat at large empty table I found at end of last (3rd) breakfast room. After about 5mins, an angry restaurant manager came and threw me off that table in a very dramatic, aggressive manner. Humiliating - in front of all other guests. I explained that there were no available tables. He later apologised when he met me in a corridor of hotel. On 2nd morning it was even busier, I asked where I was allowed to sit. I was told to sit in lobby. I asked girl serving for cutlery (none on lobby tables), she ignored me. They simply cannot accommodate the numbers of people eating breakfast. The variety of food for breakfast is great. Just a shame the staff need more training to provide good service.

Explained earlier.

Fantastic Location, Individaul Character

The Location just on the edge of the town on the riverside is excellent. if your expecting the sterile look of a premier inn or other large chain of hotels then don't stay here. The Gellert gives you glimpse of a bygone age. Wood panelling and colourful glass decorate the interior. Yes its a bit frayed around the edges, but then so am I and I am not 100 years old. The service was attentive and helpful and the facilities more than acceptable for its price bracket and rating. Yes you can get a more modern and predictable experience but I consider myself an individual character in life and so the Gellert has individual character. I came to see the city of Budapest and not spend all my time looking under the carpet for hotel faults, so savour its uniqueness, charm, history and enjoy. Thank you for the experience.

Breakfast was a little to canteen like, but other than that good value for money.
