Excellent service, facilities and food

The room was relatively big, well designed and comfortable. The breakfast and dinner consisted of a great selection of tasty choices. The best was the excellent and helpful service by the personnel throughout the facility.

It has a nice location with nice entrance. The room was a bit too small and had a step inside! It served dinner which was really bad nutrition. Breakfast was good and varied. Overall it was less than good experience.

A peaceful stay with beautiful view and good spa

The staff is friendly and helpful except the restaurant staff. They took everything several times while I went to take food with my room card and bag still at seat. It’s so rude and annoying.

This property is perfectly located on Lake Balaton walking distance to the local park and weekend festivals in the area. The room prices include 2 meals a day in a buffet arrangement, which we highly recommend. The indoor pool & jacuzzi is amazing and great for kids. Best hotel in the area

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Amazing, highly recommend

Best overall hotel stayed in Hungary out of 6 on trip in May 2023. Unbelievable lovely room, balconies, hotel spa, location and beautiful hotel and efficient staff. For the price it's fantastic and a really lovely hotel

A comfortable stay if there is no noisy kids

A new, clean hotel with great view in the quiet area. The wellness center is great especially the outside Jacuzzi. The room is quite clean and comfortable. The dinner is good but the breakfast is in the average. The restaurant and the pool area are very noisy where full of children’s crying and screaming.

Modern hotel with great lake-view location

Modern upscale hotel with swiming pool, multiple saunas and lake view balcony. You can rent a bicycles as there is cycling path along the lake (all 220km). Great also for walking outside.
Marko, 1-night trip

Good and pleasant Hotel.

Excelent Hotel. Very nice rooms. The only thing not good is that on the last day nobody came to clean the room. And when we arrived the room had dirty curtains and stains on bathrom walls and floor.
Steinar, 5-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.
Denise, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A LOT of potential to explore

It was very good! The Hotel is very nicely decorated and comfortable. Free parking is a great plus. The Deluxe Room was nothing special, the food was very underwhelming, the staff was ok but not welcoming and they couldn't accomodate to have the room set up with the "lovers (?)" package while we went for dinner. It was either at check-in or nothing. Which doesn't make sense. I was overcharged for bycicles, but after returning to point it out, it was quickly solved and i was refunded. Overall the hotel itself and the amazing location made up for it all. But shame that it had all the potential to be an EXCEPTIONAL stay and it was only "ok". Urgent to improve the food and get more welcoming staff. I will recommend mainly because of the setting.

Im Grossen und Ganzen ein gutes Hotel. Sehr gute Lage direkt am Plattensee. Umgebung war nicht so der Hammer. Kann mir aber gut vorstellen, dass im Sommer bedeutend mehr los ist...

Top Preis Leistung

Das Hotel ist sehr schön gestaltet und die Zimmer mit Blick auf den Plattensee traumhaft. Alle MitarbeiterInnen waren extrem freundlich und bemüht, und man kommt mit Deutsch/Englisch auch gut durch. Das Essen war morgens und abends perfekt! Der Wellness Bereich ist nicht extrem groß, aber sauber, modern und das Wasser ist gut warm. Freitags und Samstag waren die Plätze etwas knapp, am Sonntag hatte man mehr Auswahl. Saunabereich mit geführten Aufgüssen am Nachmittag und Saunatücher beliebig oft tauschbar. Wir hatten kein Zimmerservice bei 2 Nächten .
