Danubius Hotel Arena Reviews

We were not responsible for choosing this hotel so looking in TA when I saw the look of it and how far from the centre it was I was not looking forward to it one bit. Nothing could have surprised me more. The hotel looks like a prison from the outside but the inside is sooooo different. It’s rare that I have stayed in a hotel so clean. Our room was immaculate as were all the common areas. Check in was swift and efficient. Lifts were quick and always available. Libby was bright and airy with some very comfortable seating. The breakfast room was large enough to accommodate such a large number of rooms. The breakfast…… ohhh my goodness, there was nothing that wasn’t on it! Cooked breakfast, cold platters, masses of breads etc etc yogurts with fresh honey on the comb, pates, cheeses. It would have been easy to be very greedy as sadly a few were. A bus load of oriental people arrived during our stay ( piling everything on your plate to overflowing and putting food in your bag to take away is just wrong) The mix of people staying in the hotel was very diverse, many business conferences, sporty people from the arena next door, bus loads from overseas and many people getting their teeth fixed, a complete melting pot. A convenient bar and cafe sit in the foyer, service generally very good and the food was really excellent, particularly the schnitzels. All in all a really very pleasant stay and I would definitely recommend it. One last word of note is the Metro right alongside the hotel. Cheap, clean safe and very easy to use. Buy tickets in the machine and get stamped in the small machine inside….. there are many ticket inspectors, it’s less than 10 minutes to the centre. If you are worried about booking this hotel don’t be, you won’t regret it
