Helios Hotel Pension

Traveling from Zvolen, Slovakia on 9/6/12 to Budapest we wanted a reasonable cost for an overnight stay. Considering we had a vehicle an expensive downtown location was not necessary. The reviews were good and cost competitive. What an extraordinary surprise we received when checking into our room. It was large enough to accommodate several people with […] a balcony and view. Within walking distance, there is small restaurant and bar just down the road that serves authentic Hungarian food. The Staff is very helpful with surrounding locations and directional information. There is a security gate and fence for vehicle parking. This clearly was the best value we experienced during our stay in Budapest. Whenever we travel south from Slovakia, The Helios Hotel Pension will be our home base destination. Read more

Cute little hotel in a lovely part of Budapest. Not all that close to the central city, but easily accessible by public transport. Hotel staff was very helpful and nice. Only minor quibble was the dearth of channels on tv.

We stayed here for 10 days while in the process of relocating to Hungary to live. We had a double and a "triple studio" on the top floor, A5 and A6. This worked out perfectly as we were a family of three with two relatives. The rooms were beautifully clean (cleaned daily), with lovely views and a breeze which was a relief from the heat. Bus transportation […] into Pest was simple and hassle free, about 20 minutes. The "triple studio" has a sofa bed that could sleep two if needed and 2 single beds pushed together. All extremely comfortable. The place is generally bright, airy, modern, well-designed, new, cheerful, friendly and well-cared for. Breakfast was fine at 5 euros with scrambled eggs, bacon, and a choice of cold cuts, cereal, yoghurt and fruits. I would highly recommend this place to anyone it is fantastic value for money and the staff are lovely and incredibly helpful. Read more

This is a great place to stay. It is in the suburbs, and it took 20 to 30 minutes to get into town, but we didn't consider that a minus as there is a bus just a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Being out in the Buda hills meant there was no traffic noise at all. I was glad we had a GPS to find the address, though. We had breakfast (on our own, though I […] think the hotel also provided breakfast for a fee) on the patio each morning. It was quiet and the garden was very nice. It was a relaxing way to start the day. The room was large and the beds were comfortable. There was a small range-top, microwave, and refrigerator, though the number of dishes and pans was small. The bathroom was fine, with a tub/shower combo. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We would definately stay here again. Read more

Pension is about 20min from downtown in beautiful quiet area, well maintained with helpful staff. You can buy ticket to public transportation, Budapest baths and others. One warning, they don’t take credit/debit cards, but they take cash in form of Euro, $US.

This hotel was perfect for our trip. It is about fifteen minutes from the city center, and walking there is not possible, but the bus system is very efficient and runs every 5-15 minutes. The hotel itself is very simple and plain, no frills, but we mainly needed a place to sleep and shower, not a luxury resort. It is not romantic but is very friendly […] to tourists. the hotel is not romantic, but it is clean and quiet. we had a balcony with a nice view. we especially loved Agnes, who was at the front desk when we checked in. She was so helpful and sweet! the hotel sells single bus tickets or 24 hour passes, which is convenient. There is a also a small grocery store nearby. we had the breakfast one time, it was convenient but i did not really like anything offered. the only major downside was the shower, which would not heat in the morning, but would be steamy at night. i disliked waking up to take a cold shower. I would recommend this hotel ! Read more

Helios Panzio was very peaceful and rejuvenating after our long flight. There was a lot of greenery, rolling hills, fresh air - the gardens were lovely to sit and relax with some coffee or wine which could be purchased from the reception. The front desk staff was trilingual English/German/Hungarian and was able to orient us with maps and bus schedules […] so that we could find everything that we needed without a problem. The nearby restaurant that they referred us to was also quite delicious and had a lovely atmosphere. The morning breakfast was plentiful and tasty. I was impressed with the playground that they had available for people who brought children. To note for those who have more limited mobility, knee problems etc, is that there are a lot of stairs circling about the Panzio and no lift. Likewise it is approximately an 8 - 10 minute walk to the bus stop and there is a hill with a relatively gentle slope. I would recommend getting Forints at the airport before arriving because the closes ATM machine is a twenty minute walk from the Panzio and no currency exchange available. Read more

This hotel is in a lovely quiet situation on the outskirts of Budapest. There is a nearby frequent bus service in to the city. We were very comfortable and the only grip was the that the WiFi didn't work for us.

A bit far out but the neighbourhood was nice. Very helpful and friendly man at check in, less friendly woman at check out. Room was nice and clean but the bathroom was a bit basic and the usual problem experienced what with a couple sharing twin beds. Breakfast was good, better quality than at the other hotel we stayed in whilst visiting Hungary.

We can recommend this place to anyone travelling by car - secure parking and just a short walk to the bus stop. busses arrive every 5 - 8 minutes to the city, about 15 min ride. Hotel staff very helpful and friendly, room clean and roomy. Great breakfast and resturant nearby. Free email and computor if needed. Last bus from the city at 11.15pm. We would […] stay here again but if no car would move into the city centre, Price is good and great value for money. Read more

This hotel is on the outskirts of Buda (the hilly side of Budapest) and we were glad to have a car to get there. We left our car parked at the hotel for the 3 nights and bought a 48 hour public transport pass and used it to take the nearby bus to travel back and forth into the city and the metro once we got into the city. There is a set of stairs that […] we used in the morning which leads down the hill behind the houses and comes out across the road from the bus stop, and a 5 minute walk up the road from the bus stop which we took at night when we got back. We had a lovely balcony off of our room which we sat out on every morning and night. We actually had 2 rooms and an adjoining bathroom which slept 4 adults comfortably. The small kitchenette and table and chairs area was very handy. A very good breakfast was included and we had the choice of sitting inside or outside on a terraced area to enjoy it. The gardens were lovely. The staff were great and very helpful, taking the time to explain in detail all about the buses and the different areas of Budapest that we wanted to visit, and providing us maps of the area. I would highly reccomend this hotel. Read more

The hotel is in the hills, thus you wake up to a bird song. However, city centre is far away and you need a car. The studio where we stayed was excellent and large enough. Very clean and well equipped. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The hotel has a nice garden with a playground for children. I would absolutely choose to stay here again. Price […] was also very good. Only one remark: The management should consider 1-2 euros higher price and put some soap and shampoo and a hair-dryer to the bathroom. Little things that cost no money virtually, but can be irritating not to have them. Read more

Schöne Hotel-Pension mit einem super hilfsbereitem Team ( besonders die 3 an der Rezeption ) Lage außerhab des Trubels, Anbindung durch Busse super ( Weg zur Bushaltestation dauert ca 10 Minuten, Busse fahren 3x in der Stunde, nach 15 Minuten Busfahrt ist man in der Stadt) Schöne Gartenanlage, leider waren wir in den 3 Tagen so mit der Stadt"beschäftigt", […] dass wir keine Zeit hatten, sie zu nutzen.Frühstück okay, Zimmer sehr sauber, nicht sehr groß aber ausreichend. Bad ein bißchen einfach aber auch sehr sauber. Im Ganzen, besonders wenn man den Preis betrachtet sehr empfehlenswert-ich bin sicher, ich war nicht zum letuten Male dort !!! Zumal Budapest wirklich traumhaft schön ist !!! Read more

Cet hôtel, situé sur les collines en périphérie de la ville. est très agréable. Il est bien desservi, malgré sa situation. Il permet de se relaxer de l'excitation propre à une grande ville comme Budapest.

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und das Hottel überraschend sauber. Es besitzt kein eigenes Restaurant aber sehr nahe gelegene Restaurants die vorzüglich sind.
