Reviews
But the hotel is quite dated, old-school, "retro".
The food is also perfect, always a good choice. Breakfast is rich, as is dinner.
A big plus is the bathtub in the bathroom.
The indoor pool and sauna are a good choice if the water in Balaton is already cold.
I also praise the kids club, the kids enjoyed it.
What I would criticize is that even though we had towels on the floor (1x in 5 days), they were not changed.
At night you can hear quite a lot of guests, both from the corridor and from the rooms next door.
The balconies could be nicer, we had a lot of cobwebs there.
The restaurant was crowded hard to find tables anytime!
However, the restaurant has felt the effects of inflation since 2023, leading to a more limited menu. While the kitchen seems to have made some improvements this year, the planning wasn’t always ideal.
On my last night this year, they quickly ran out of duck, followed by chicken drumsticks, and eventually resorted to serving nuggets or some form of industrial breaded chicken.
Some rooms have been renovated and are quite pleasant, but with the exception of one stay in 2020, I’ve been assigned rooms facing east rather than the more desirable west in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
This year, the view from my room at the very end of the corridor on the third floor was truly boring. Overall, while the location is fantastic, there are areas that could use some improvement.
