“Room too hot and no coffee pot!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

We arrived without any reservation in Siòfok and found a place in Touring Hotel. We were there for just a night. Our first impression was good, but as soon as we paid and saw the room we completely changed our minds. The room was surprisingly hot: from dawn till 3 PM the sun shined through a wall quite completely made of glass, which made the room seem like a greenhouse. There is no A/C in any room, and when I asked to the receptionist if he could kindly change my room as I was very ill, he answered that the hotel was completely booked. I could suppose that it was not true as several rooms were empty and open. It was so hot that I tried to sleep in the corridor. That night we couldn't sleep, and we had to leave the day after. Since every wall was very thin we could hear the noises and voices of who didn't respect the night silence (I woke up at half past four in the morning for this reason). The service is too basic compared to the prices: we paid €43 and we had no towels and the showers didn't work properly. The morning after we hoped in a nice breakfast (at least), but when we found out that it didn't include coffee, one of the basilar things in a breakfast, we were shocked. The atmosphere was everything but homely: the receptionist is cold and you can't exit the hotel with the room key, which you have to leave to the receptionist who gives you a ticket. When you come back to the hotel you can get your key back by returning the ticket. Moreover, the hotel is far from the city center and lake.
In other words: if you are staying in Siòfok for your holidays, or even if you are there for just a night, I suggest you to pay a couple of euros more and enjoy your staying somewhere else (for 5 euros more you can have an apartment close to the lake).

Room Tip: Make sure your room has its windows facing North and not South-east

“place to sleep if you don't care about standards”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2009

person found this review helpful

we payed 40€ for two people per room in this place and honestly it wasn't much to brag about it. The place is 3 km outside Siofok center, far enough for it to be necessary to take public transportation which goes once each hour, or by rip-off taxi (they cheat you, a short ride (3km) costs 2400-3000 Ft, but should cost 2000 - hungary is reknown for cheating taxis). The young people in the front desk are helpful and friendly and try to speak as much english as they can, but let's be honest, it is very basic. But again, they try to help and even do that little extra like calling a taxi for you. The breakfast was included in our trip and it is typical loaf, chesse, ham, serial with tea or milk, no coffee. Adequate for this kind of hostel.
The hostel is a short walk 5-10 min to lake balaton and close to a main party attraction the Palace. /cheap booze and young girls and guys (17ish)). Also a shop very close to it and a tivoli.
If your looking for cheap room and don't care about the looks of things then this is probably ok for you. You share a bathroom (where I never saw anyone) and toilet with the rest of the leve. The bed, although spartan, is surprisingly ok to sleep in. And don't be afraid of the bugs, the spider is actually not a pest and is helping you with that problem... And yes, it is of course dirty under the bed if you look.
If your going to party and lay on the "beach" and don't care about the condition of the room your sleeping in, then I guess this is ok. However, it is far from town, and if you pay pay 50€ (for two people in a room), eksl. breakfast, then you'll get your own room with toilet and bathroom, television and airconditioning 500 meters from the beach and in the middle of Siofok and all the attractions. And the room is nice and you feel clean. It is also quiet (surprisingly). You'll probably thank me if you go to Balaton Pension and breakfast instead (we did and we're so happy about it), but if money is really tight and you only want somewhere to sleep, then this is probably ok.
Also, in july, the temperature can be 34 degrees plus, and you should know that a room without AC can become hot if not opening a door.
