1. out of the map. 2. however, easy to get there by bus, from downtown- from erszebet bridge, approx. 15 minutes. 3. very quiet - one car passing in 2 hours. 4. very spectacular view, with all those green hills. 5. own garden, very cosy. 6. very decent breakfast, even the cofee not so good. when nice wheater, served outside,... more

This place is not as good as it seems on the internet. the rooms are small and we were advised to keep the windows closed at night for safety. Yikes! we did, but that made it stuffy and hot. the internet is random, often not connecting in the morning. the gentleman at the front desk was great. lots of good... more

Staying at Helios Pension Hotel was my favorite hotel experiences. The staff gave the best tourist information, even the things to avoid, as there is corruption in Budapest. I am a 9 year Flight Attendant who has stayed at a lot of hotels, therefore I loved having the personal touches and caring staff (unlike most chains ). It really is... more

My friend and I (two ladies of a mature age!!) travelled to Budapest for a sight seeing holiday of 5-6 days and to get the 'feel' of the country. I chose this hotel for both the price and the fact that it was run by a family rather than one of the impersonal large ones in the centre of Budapest.... more

We were looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful to stay, so this quiet place in the suburbs of Budapest was ideal. We were a little worried about being so far from the city centre but it's very easy to get a bus in, a 20min trip (past the castle) and there are night buses too. There is a decent restaurant... more

We decided to go ahead with this place as the reviews here in tripadvisor seem to suggest that its great, so we gave it a shot despite it being far from the city centre in Pest. I must say, besides the nice scenery...nothing else lived up... more

We only stayed one night at this nice pension in Budapest. We had stayed downtown at the beginning of our trip and decided to stay here for our last night in Europe. Mikolos (sp.?) was quite patient with a couple of frazzled Americans who had a bit of a time finding the place. (We did not bring adequate directions from... more

My husband and I just returned from 6 wonderful days at the Helios. I can certainly add to the positive comments others have made. This is a very well-run, sparklingly clean pension with beautiful views of the Buda hills. We loved being outside the city because it gave us two vacations in one. After a day of sight seeing in... more

Fantastic little hotel in the Buda Hills. The staff is very attentive and helpful with all details even booking my 3:30AM taxi to the airport! There is a bus stop 2 blocks away that takes you straight into the city center where you can catch a lot of other busses or the great city trams. The breakfast was great every... more
