Historic Hotel in Heart of Pecs

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 3 Oct 2022
Art Nouveau hotel on a main pedestrian street with dozens of bars and restaurants nearby. Located in heart of the city a few blocks from Szechenyi Square and within walking distance of all major attractions. Over 100 years of history as one of the fanciest hotels in Pecs. Renovated in 1976-88. Nice large room and great breakfast buffet.

    Patinated hotel with a quaint retro atmosphere in the heart of the city. The staff is kind and friendly, however, the glorious light of the rooms has worn out, begging for renovation. The mini-bar was empty, there was a small selection of television channels, not even a Bible to be found, and the trash was fermenting in the bathroom bin. Sorely disappointing, and you can merely find a better-value hotel in the close area.

    If you're looking to spend a night or two in a Grand Hotel from a bygone era, this amazing hotel will show you what it was like in the days of old. The Grand staircase, the beautiful mosaics and porcelain from Zsolnay at its heyday with the service as if you were in the movie "The Grand Budapest Hotel." Don't look for the modern luxury of the Marriott BonVoy Elite upgrades, but, with the right mindset, you will appreciate a different era's luxury. I personally welcomed the infrequent breaks of cookie-cutter hotels.

    Room tip: Get the suites looking onto Kiraly Street.

    First of all, the hotel has a great location and an unbelievable inner-architecture. But the rooms are horrible, they have not been renovated in the last 50 years.. We had a 2bed room but the room was so tiny that we almost did not fit in. The beds were very small too, shorter than my friend who is not a giant. The furniture is very old and very used- in a bad way. The curtains, cover on the bed, heating - cheap and ugly. Two coats did not fin into the tiny cupboard. The bathroom is a nightmare, the shower head has not been changed - I think since ever, so it's a real challenge to take a shower.
    The breakfast was nice, the staff too - even if the service at the reception is very slow..
    To sum up: beautiful looking historical hotel building with great location - but choose something else- even if the pictures look tempting.

    Fantastic position very friendly service. Unfortunately the hotel inside is very dated. We had a suit. The fridge was empty in the bathroom no toiletteries no tissue anywhere. Very old furniture carpet and curtons. Absolute no value for money. Parking extra .
    Pécs city is very beautiful lots of history. We enjoyed our time there.

    This is a beautiful grand old hotel first opened in 1915, the public areas display the beautiful and extravagant secessionist architecture of the age at its best – a kind of romantic, medieval imagination, especially in the dining room and the hall. Like almost everything else worth seeing in Hungary, the hotel was built in the glory days of the Austro-Hungarian empire, those 50 years from 1876 to 1918 when the country was still well governed and an amazing amount of development took place in just a few decades. The hotel is in an excellent position, right in the heart of the beautiful old city of Pecs. Unfortunately, the rooms are a slightly different category – generally adequate, but somewhat worn and in need of maintenance and refurbishment. Some rooms have air conditioning, most have a refrigerator, but there are recurring maintenance issues. In our room the TV was a very old vintage, and did not work, until we discovered that the aerial is broken. The remote control needed new batteries. The basin was somewhat (but not completely) blocked. The furniture was worn, but serviceable. The beds were good and we slept well. Overall, it is a reasonable 3* hotel, with fantastic public areas – well worth staying here just for the ambience and the atmosphere. The rooms on the higher floors are a bit more basic, and thos on the lower floors might be affected by noise when there is a function.

    Room tip: Standard rooms rather basic..
