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!

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.

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.

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.

Great hotel with wonderful facilities. Check out is 0am, 11 am would be better. Although the rooms are non-smoking, during my stay, people in surrounding rooms were smoking on their balconies, which meant I could not open the door or window.

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.

Ildiko

The staff is very kind and friendly. The property is newly refurbished and looks wonderful, elegant, and upscale. Everything is clean and tidy. The beds are comfortable and spacious. There is a nice variety of food that is tasty. However, when redesigning the property, comfort was not in mind. Eg. there is an elevation in the room that is unsafe and the space between the wall and the beds is so tiny one needs to move sideways. The wellness area felt cold, kept at 20 C. As a first timer, I felt lost, it was really difficult to get any information e.g. how something works or where to find it. With special diet, food is limited.
