well, i read the review of the previous traveller on here and booked. The occasion was my partner's 30th. We like spa resorts and clean minimum 4 star places, so this hit the mark.

we flew with ryan air to the friendliest airport of hungary,good trip and a taxi awaited us pre-ordered due to e-mails direct to the hotel before outward bound trip.

Arrived on 27 December 2007, the hotel was quiet and the first person we spoke to was the receptionist who did not speak english, only german and hungarian. So along come another receptionist who understood english and advised us our room would not be ready for another 3 hours he suggested that we have a look around the facilities, to which we did.

We were able to have a inital check with the doctor who was friendly and chatted in basic english, he advised us as to what treatments to have. This part of the trip was good.

With the package that i had purchased via ---.com, we had 6 treatments included and any additionals were charged accordingly.

So we booked the treatments, but due to the new year, spaces were not readily available as they would be for the rest of the year. My partner was booked in at 0900hrs on two of the five days that we were there and then did not have another treatment until 1330hrs.

The room was pleasant, average condition and very woody. I noticed throughout the hotel this to be a trait. Unfortunately, the housemaid would wake us each morning even though we put what we thought to be the do not disturb sign on the door, with hovering the corridor, frustating.

Meals were poor, a set menu with a distinct lack of taste. We ventured out one afternoon and found better food in a local restaurant, and the owner spoke english and was very accommodating.

In the whole 5 days there, i only spoke to one other visitor who spoke English and he could speak 6 languages, english was not his first. He asked why we chose this hotel, and i explained, the facilities and reviews, he then advised me that he would not recommend this hotel for a couple of late twenties and whom only speak english, as most visitors are from hungary and aged above 40 years old.

Overall i would rate this 6 out of 10, as it facilities are great but the other visitors do not speak english so you are your own company. would i go again? no, would rather spend the money in a british speaking spa
