Grof Degenfeld Castle Hotel

We (couple 78, 83) chose the location in anticipation of service that matched the setting. The setting was right, wonderful location, beautiful rooms, but in two situations the service was just annoying: the receptionist on the morning of 8/12 was only disinterested and cheeky. The day before, we were sent away from the set table by the service staff in the restaurant in the morning as house guests and directed to an unset table in the dark adjacent room or to the terrace, where we were supposed to have our breakfast. A professional should be trained to keep an eye on the number of breakfast guests when there are so few guests. The breakfast was very below average, the variety, the platters very cleared out, surprisingly after two days the selection was broader and the ingredients higher quality.

We really enjoyed all the good wines and the excellent wine tasting with their excellent wines. The food was also delicious and the breakfast was approved, but could have gladly had more choices to choose from even if everything was fine. The room was nice and their AC worked perfectly in the heat. Their jacuzzi was very good and it was nice with a cooling outdoor pool. Too bad they didn't have their own bike rental at the hotel because we would have liked to ride a bike. They recommended a place for bike rental via previous emails, but unfortunately it turned out that the owners had gone on holiday without further notice. We found a bus to Tokaj.

Our stay at Degenfeld was out of a fairytale. The tour of the estate was fantastic and we felt like counts and countesses staying in the hotel. We cannot wait to come back when the grapes are ripe with juice, the landscape is green and you can go to the pool to escape the summer heat.
