Danubius Hotel Gellert - Budapest, Hungary 

"Lovely overnight spa stay"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We booked into the hotel for Christmas Eve to spoil ourselves (we were staying at the Botel Hotel Lisa - see other review) and had a lovely night. The hotel has an olde world elegance about it, with an element of "shabby chic", and if you're interested in architecture, the Art Noveau facade is beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our spa experience, although were disappointed it wasn't open on Christmas day. Our room was huge, and the furnishings luxurious. On the downside, the bathroom was old, and there was a suspicious brown on the grouting which smacked of mould - a real bugbear of mine! Breakfast was absolutely yummy, and extensive, including an organic and vegan buffet section. The location is excellent too - right near a major tram stop, but also an easy 15 minute walk across the bridge into Pest. Recommended.

Worst 4* bathroom

First room has the bathroom more execrable as the second. These pictures are form the second. Remember this: 4 stars hotel. Check this out :http://www.flickr.com/photos/34407130@N02/<br>The restaurant , bell boy , help desk was friendly.

Fantastic Gellert hotel and spa

We spent 2 nights at the Gellert and could have stayed much longer. The room had a balcony overlooking the Danube and was large and nicely furnished. The ambience is great - grand and old - it is a listed building. Staff are fantastic. The Gellert is attached to the Gellert Spa and you can reach this from within the hotel. As a guest you have free access to the spa which is fantastic! Brilliant outdoor swimming but exceptional indoor pools and themal baths all with amazing 19thC tiling etc. The Thai massage was excellent.
