Danubius Health Spa Resort Margitsziget

Beautiful location—but has the charm of a rehab clinic! Floors everywhere with old wall-to-wall carpeting from the 80s: In the Platan restaurant, you eat at an overpriced rate of 12000HUF per person; this may seem "cheap," but for the cafeteria vibe you get here, it's totally exaggerated! You are also not asked what you would like to drink, floors here also have dirty carpeting. Let's get to the room: Logically, carpet again, beds with sagging mattresses in a hammock style. The pool areas are okay—the lounge chairs are just like at a campsite. They do have staff for luggage, but the team prefers chatting with other guests than helping those who are either arriving or departing!!!!

Fantastic hotel! Very beautiful rooms; we had the one with a view of the Danube as we had hoped. Very kind and helpful welcome. Exceptional breakfast. The thermal baths being open at 7 is really great. The only downside, but it's not serious, is the lack of a bidet. The island, surrounded by greenery, is very relaxing and at the same time well-connected by bus to the city center.

We really enjoyed our visit. Although it’s much smaller than Széchenyi Thermal Bath, we actually preferred it. The entrance fee is roughly half the price of Széchenyi, yet we felt we got better value. Towels are included (we were given three each), which was a nice touch and something you usually have to pay extra for elsewhere. The spa has five pools (four indoor and one outdoor), an infrared sauna, a traditional dry sauna, and a cold plunge pool. A few of the saunas were temporarily out of service during our visit, but it didn’t significantly affect our experience. Another big advantage was that it was far less crowded than Széchenyi, making it much more relaxing. The only downside was the service at the bar, which was rather slow and not particularly welcoming.
