Hotels near Danube Arena

"No way is this a 4* hotel! The first night of our stay, our room had no AC. When I tried to call the desk, the phone in the room didn’t work. After going down to the desk to complain, a staff person was sent up to assess the situation. After his expert evaluation, we were told that the AC wasn’t working and he could open a window after I signed a waiver. They had no other room for us. Our compensation for the major inconvenience was complimentary breakfast in the morning. In addition, the room was tiny and in need of immediate updating and there were no amenities."

"Good clean room,quiet,staff helpful"

"Ikonik Parlament is an ideal choice for visiting Budapest. It’s very clean, stylish with nice decor in the lounge, bar and breakfast area. Staffs are polite, helpful and efficient. The Parlament suite is spacious and elegant. Will come back when next Budapest visit. "

"From the outside, the hotel looks a bit dated but it was bright and modern inside. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, with a wide variety of options available each morning. We also enjoyed using the spa which was well maintained. Our room was a good size. The only downside was that the air conditioning was difficult to work and there was no instruction manual provided so our room was very hot. We were on the second floor facing the car park and we would get cigarette smoke coming in through our open window, as people would smoke close to the building and it would drift up. Location-wise, it is a little bit away from the city centre but it’s a pleasant 40 minute walk along the Danube, or the nearest metro is a 10 minute walk away. Overall, I would stay here again!"

"Exceptionally warm and helpful staff, excellent breakfast buffet, comfortable room. Needs additional furniture to put away folded clothing especially for longer stays"

"Breakfast was delicious! Location was perfect"

"My review echoes many others — Waterfront City Apartments in Budapest are a fantastic place to stay, but the experience feels like a long-stay escape room. The apartment itself was great: clean, well-decorated, comfortable, and clearly well managed. Once you’re in, it’s hard to fault. However, the check-in process is far more complicated than it needs to be. There are multiple codes for different parts — building, room, and parking — and the buildings aren’t clearly marked. Some even share the same codes, which led to confusion and people trying the wrong buildings or rooms. Communication was also extremely difficult as there is no on-site reception team, making it hard to get help when needed and adding to the frustration on arrival. Parking was another challenge. I emailed weeks in advance, followed up with calls, and still had to ring on the day. The fob we were given didn’t match the instructions, so we ended up parking elsewhere and figuring it out ourselves. Staff were mixed — the daytime team were helpful, but the night staff during check-in came across as quite abrupt. A few small touches would help: two tea bags and two coffees for four people over four days wasn’t enough, and nothing was restocked. Overall, the accommodation is excellent once settled. I’d stay again, but only knowing the effort needed beforehand."

"Overall, the hotel is quite good, but the rooms are starting to feel a bit outdated and could use renovation. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, which really improves the overall experience. However, dining at the bar was quite disappointing. It was almost impossible to enjoy a proper meal there, and it felt like frozen, low-quality food was simply being reheated."
