“Absolute Dump, Rude Staff, $400/night - Utter rubbish”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2011

This dump is at the intersection of Ikea furniture, typically sour Hungarian workers and run down near communist style facilities.

Everybody in the place hates their job. Workers huddle is corners, hallways and common areas to lament low salaries, the guests and each other. I speak Hungarian so this was amusing and amazingly bad at the same time.

Maintenance is a concept nobody is familiar with and they should learn. The vintage IKEA furniture is tattered, dirty, chipped or otherwise defective. My room did not have a shower just a large tub with a shower hose device. For $400/night no tissues are provided. The internet cost an extra $5/day but it works sporadically. The beds are hard but tolerable. The AC works a little but it is not cold.

As the low rent furniture is both ugly and uncomfortable the room leaves nothing to enjoy. The layout of the place is also odd, as you would expect in Hungary or East Europe. It does not flow together well and dark areas mix with dark colors, yuck.

The front desk staff act friendly but ask for anything and their attitude becomes not unlike a DMV worker, TSA officer or prison guard.

The breakfast is dirty, oily, and very bland. The staff stare at you but will not fetch a fork. The coffee is Nescafe (talk about luxury). Bacon sits in a disgusting pool of lard. Bugs are common. Eggs are cold. Tables are dirty. Nobody cares about this stuff.

If you are heading to Hungary DO NOT STAY HERE. Might I suggest Budapest, Vienna, or a trip to the Croatian coast where a stay at 5 star hotel will cost less and be much better.

“Perfect relaxation”

A nice spa center, with saunas, baths (milk, vanilla, algae...) excellent massage :) , etc. The hotel has a beatiful vue to the Balaton lake, and it's next to the yacht club.

“A comfortable, clean, friendly hotel in an excellent position”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2010

We were fortunate to be allocated what was actually a small apartment in the hotel extension, which was well equipped, comfortable and quiet. From what we could see of the other rooms, these too were good, many having balconies overlooking Lake Balaton.
The front desk staff were efficient and friendly and the hotel's position was very convenient being right on the waterfront. Although we didn't have time to use it, the pool looked inviting. Our rate included breakfast which was plentiful, although the cooked food was more suited to the continental Euopean taste than the British.
The bars and restaurants nearby were very economical. Our favourite was the Borcsa about an 8 minute walk away along the front, turning right out of the hotel. There is outside seating on a terrace alongside the lake. inside smart and plush furnishing with a comfortable 1960s feel to it and further covered tables outside by the boardwalk.
Try the local wine huts alongside the lakefront where locals and tourists gather for a drink or two. A deposit is required for the glasses if these are taken beyond the bar area.
We found the Hungarian people friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

“Rip Off”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2010

Would you like to pay 150 pounds for B&B where your greasy breakfast is served in a china from IKEA?
Worst value hotel, disgusting breakfast, mediocre room.
Hey Hungarian snobs, get your act right, you can easily do a better hotel at Balaton than this!

“Only for corpulent guests”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We planned to stay in the hotel for 3 nights. It was reasonably clean, the staff was very helpful, the room was overlooking the lake. We felt this is the hotel for us until we went down for dinner at the hotel restaurant, where it was obvious that the kitchen is using the cheapest possible ingredients. This would still not be a problem, but the beds in the rooms are designed for heavy people, which we aren`t, so after the first night and the low quality hotel breakfast (capuccino fom a weird powder, budget jam, etc.) we headed for the local pharmacy, where we could buy pain killers to somehow recover from the cramps caused by the hard as concrete beds. When we asked for a room change, they confirmed that the beds are all the same in every room. We had to leave for another hotel, where we recovered.
Beware of this hotel if you are not corpulent.
