    Danubius Hotel Gellert is one of the Hotels with the longest history in Budapest. The secessionist building was opened in 1918. It's location on the bank of the Danube near the Gellert Hill offers a great view and also a great opportunity to relax, since it has thermal water coming directly from under the Hill.

    The 4 star gellert Hotel is a great place to relax, but this of course has a price.

    The Hotel's main attraction is the well known Gellert Spa, with thermal and other swimming pools, massage and other kinds of "threatment".

    The Hotel also offers restaurants, event halls, conference rooms, etc.

    Gellert Hotel is in the same building as the famous spa / bath in Art Nouveau-style and the hotel is certainly the perfect place for those tourists, who intend to spend a lot of time inside these beautiful, ancient bathing-halls and who are at the same time willing to pay their prices...

    Click on my link below and take a closer look for the "Package offers" - they look really good, including all the bathing-facilities, breakfast-buffet e.g. 210 €uros for 3 nights for a single is quite a good price, when I compare it with the 177 €uros that are charged by the Ibis*** in Pest for a total of 3 nights withOUT breakfast and of course without such great bathing-facilities.

    The hotel is a bit OUTside of the centre, maybe 1km to the castle of Buda.
    You have good connections by tram and buses and the best advantage is certainly when you have the baths inside the same building and will not have to go across the city back to your other hotel and get a cold maybe in winter...

    The Danubius Hotel Gellert used to be my favorite place to stay in Budapest. (See my art'otel review for an explanation!) It is well-located on the Buda side of the Szabadság (Freedom bridge), near the Gellert Hill. The rooms vary widely in quality and price, depending on if you want a renovated room and air-conditioning in the summer.

    Of course, the greatest selling point is the free access to the wonderful Gellert spa. If you want to have some extensive spa time during your Budapest visit, the Gellert is a great place to stay.

    This hotel is located neat the Liberty bridge and was completed in 1918. This de luxe hotel has thermal, medicinal baths and has long been a favourite for visitors to the capital, attracted by its famous restaurant and the baths. The bath complex in the Gellert hotel is the largest in Budapest. Documents show that these therapeutic springs were known centuries ago as the “muddy bath” or the building of the Achic Ilidgey in Turkish times. The Art Nouveu building contains a large pool with a series of halls about it. Water is supplied to the pool and the baths by 18 springs at 18C. The Gellert hotel is at the foot of the Gellert Hill with the famous Citadel, St. Gellert’s memorial and the Liberation monument.

    The Gellert Hotel is probably Budapest best know hotel. When I began planning my trip it came up every search engine I used for accomodations. I read many mixed opinions about The Gellert and was almost afraid I had made a wrong choice after reading many negative critics of the facility. I now feel that many of the negetive comments made on the web about the Gellert are unfounded in my opinion. It is listed as a four star hotel and is said to be quite expensive. I had a single room for one person with a bathroom and only paid 70 Euro's a night. My room as small and did not have a great view, it overlooked an inside courtyard. However it was clean and comfortable and I had no complaints. Parts of the hotel have been completely renovated. My room was one of the older rooms and was in need of some renovation but it was not in bad condition in any way.

    The famous Gellert Baths are attached to the hotel. I was here in early spring before the elaborate outside wave pool and other swimming areas were open. However the Turkish baths and health spa were open inside and included in the cost of the room. I used the spa and baths daily after a long day of walking and exploring the city. They were a great way to relax. There is a male and female only bath in the hotel and also a large pool that is open to both men and women. You do not need swimming apparrel for the same sex baths. On the mens side you are provided with a small apron to use in the baths. If you are not overly modest this is a great way to enjoy the comfort of the baths. Be warned though, the staff at the baths are not overly friendly. The older men who worked in the changing area of the mens bath were actually rude at times and seemed to hate everything about their job. Be sure to check your cabin number when you change. You are given a bracelet to wear with an ID number on it. It has nothing to do with your cabin number. I have no idea what the number is for actually. I almost caused an incident when I thought it was my cabin number and then realized I had no idea what number cabin held my clothes.

    by Skeptic-jr
    A good place for tourist group, students and backpackers, but not for whose, who want to stay in high standard hotel. Although in their leaflet they say that hotel is located in calm and quiet district, there is rather loudly because of tracks traffic in hotel's neighborhood.

    Terminus Hotel lies about 3 kilometers from Peszt center, but is easy accessible - from the M3 highway, Metro line no. 3 or bus no. 4. Its double, triple and fourbedded rooms are fitted with showers. There are a bar, restaurant and free-of-charge parking place on the spot. In the close vicinity are located the Margaret Island, the great Dagaly open-air pool, the Duna Plaza Shopping Center and the Tesco hyper-market (you can direct to the hotel according to the Tesco's signposts).

    Pets allowed.

    Prices from 13 euro / night / person. Breakfast - 2 euro / person.

    Rooms and bed-clothes are clean, but rather fatigued.

    Only few of the staff speak English.

    The Hotel Gellert, one of the leading hotels in Budapest Danubius Hotel Gellert.

    The Gellert was named after Bishop Saint Gellert, who arrived in Hungary as a priest in the 11th century and was elevated to bishop when King Stephen called on him for help in his campaign to convert his Magyar tribesmen to Christianity. Gellert outlived the king, and in a subsequent pagan revolt against Christianity he was stabbed to death after crossing the Danube in a ferry from Pest. Then by handcart his attackers took him to the top of what is now called Gellert Hill and cast his body down. He was canonized in 1083, the same year as King Stephen.

    The unique Art Nouveau style Gellert Bath with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Turkish thermal baths. Admission to the spa, the sparkling bath, wave bath, steam bath, sun terrace is free to hotel guests.
    EUR125 per (person) is obligatory - can be paid to the hotel directly.

    We did not stay at this hotel but visited it one day. We were impressed with the building, its location overlooking the Danube, the excellent outdoor facilities, the wave pool and the extensive sun lounge area. The Gellert Bath adjoins the hotel. It is very close to the Castle area and you can walk accross the Erzsebet Bridge and you are in Pest with the Vaci Utca only minutes away. For those who do not like to walk the tram is outside the hotel.

    This hotel is deceptive. If you are used to and enjoy the modern corporate box hotels of today the Gellert is not for you. First impression is one of a tired hotel clinging on to the past. In reality it's in need of refurbishment and if this could be done without destroying its heritage and character then this could be a great hotel. Scratch through the surface though and you will appreciate its immense charm.

    Sadly my single room was just that, a single room. Maybe I shouldn't complain as I got what I paid for but it was just as well that I didn't bring the cat to swing! Also it was very dark with a very poor outlook. Tired furnishings and en-suite but kept clean. I imagine some of the larger rooms overlooking the Danube could be quite the opposite.

    The buffet breakfast was a grand affair within the stately restaurant. Excellent choice of food with attentive staff always ready to refill my cup.

    Yes I would stay again and would recommend it to those who appreciate a style long since past and who are not too concerned if its a bit rough round the edges.

    The Gellerts fine architecture sets it majestically on the banks of the Danube. You cannot fail to be impressed. I even spotted it from the plane.

    Unbelievably I didn't use the thermal baths for which the hotel is famous. They really should be a must see if not a must do.

    Attractive large stained glass windows on the staircase landings.

    There are tram stops outside the hotel which take off in all directions so getting where you want to go is easy.
