This hotel is the best in the area. Nice indoor and outdoor pool facilities and jacuzzi. Bfast & dinner buffet included with the room charge, which had a great selection. Game room for kids. This hotel is right on Lake Balaton next to a large park that hosts amazing summer activities and events for the entire family. Highly recommended.
Laszlo, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

5-star review for a 5-star hotel on the shore of Lake Balaton. Most rooms have a small balcony with a lake view so the room configuration is not a rectangle, but there is plenty of room for two people and their luggage. The indoor pool and hot tubs are wonderful, sorry I missed the beer spa with the music! The dinner buffet and the breakfast buffet were magnificent, all of the staff were so courteous. The sunrise view from the balcony was breathtaking and there are walking and biking paved trails around the lakeshore and in the park next door. We would love to return, it was just a wonderful experience!
Doreen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We have booked a room for three people but there were only two towels, two coffee cups etc. in the room. There was no shower gel in the shower. Room cleaning was nearly not existing. Cleaning stuff was in the room. Butt they made only one of three beds, changed one coffee cup and left the other dirty cups and glasses where they were. When we told the reception about it, they apologized. We asked for fresh coffee cups, they assured to bring some to our room, what never happened. The dinner was ok some of the dishes were only described in Hungarian language, a few also in English. Would be nice to know about evety dish, what it is, as it was with some dishes not obvious.

Aufenthalt mit gemischten Gefühlen

Wir haben uns auf die Junior Suite mit Blick auf den See gefreut, laut Beschreibung sogar von der Badewanne aus. Leider waren die Fenster nicht geputzt und wir konnten die Aussicht nicht genießen. Noch dazu eine schlecht geputzte Badewanne, die ich mir dann vor der Benutzung selbst geputzt habe. Late check out zusätzlich gebucht, die Zimmerkarte wurde aber nicht verlängert. Abendessen in Ordnung, geschmacklich nichts für uns. Eigentlich haben wir gesagt, wir kommen nie wieder, aber dann hat der Spa Bereich uns doch umgestimmt. Nur eine Junior Suite werden wir nicht mehr buchen, schade ums Geld. Personal alle freundlich.

8/10 Very good

Leider haben wir das Zimmer nicht um 15 Uhr bekommen sondern hat man uns warten lassen ca. 20min später man hätte als wieder gut machung von der Bar einige Drinks spendieren können..... Das Zimmer selbst ist neu renoviert ausreichend viel Platz dennoch nicht immer Sauber vorallem was die Handtücher anbelangt, war zumindest unser Gefühl... Die Lage des Hotels ist erstklassig. Frühstück ist ganz okay findet jeder was ebenso das Abendessen was ich persönlich etwas besser gefunden habe (wahrscheinlich weil mehr Auswahl da war) Alles in Allem bis auf das Warten und den Zimmerservice Sehr Gutes Erlebnis definitv Empfehlenswert.
