Hotel Schweizerhof

The Schweizerhof is located in the old part of Gyor which is closed to traffic and a great area for evening strolls and dining. The staff are friendly and helpful, the bathrooms are clean and bright, and the beds firm but surprisingly comfortable, but that’s about it. Furnishings are pretty basic, especially the carpet which looks more like commercial/office flooring than something you’d expect in a hotel. The lounge is downright weird and the whole place is pretty dark, gloomy and old-fashioned. Two tips related to parking: the hotel has an underground carpark, but take a compact car because access is really tight and the parking slots are miniscule. Second, because the hotel is in the old, walking part of town, reaching it means getting past the access barrier. To do this, pull up close the post, roll down the window, and when a voice speaks from the post tell them “Hotel Schweizerhof.”

On arriving at the hotel everything still seemed very nice...but that quickly changed after entering. The girl from reception seemed nice enough, but wasn't very professional and check-in wasn't as smooth as one should expect but afterwards it would be the least of my problems... We had booked the "suite" which was on a site of the hotel where there was no elevator so we had to carry our own, rather heavy ,luggage through a long hallway and up a few stairs ourselves. The help we received from the staff was absolutely nihil and it seemed funny enough for them to see us struggle. When we finally reached the second floor and opened our room everything was a little brighter again. The rooms were big enough but tastlessly decorated. The bathroom was not clean at all and the sheets were wrinkled and had some hair stuck on them... gone was the last expectation I had about this place! We had booked a package with "wellness" and diner, but I won't even mention the wellness (it isn't worth talking about anyway...) The diner is in their restaurant across the street and to be honest the food and service were very ok, no problem there. Breakfast was served in the lobby and was very basic, tasteless and boring. Maybe I was influenced by the ugliest deco I saw in my life. It was just awfull. I can go on for hours about this hotel but better to make a quick summary. Possitive: the diner at their restaurant across the street and the cheap drinks in the lobby bar. Negative: ALL THE REST

This hotel is situated in Gyor old town on a small side street. This makes it very quiet but quite problematic for taxi drivers to find. The room was large and comfortable with a seating area in addition to the bedroom and bathroom. The hotel restaurant was excellent and there was a 20% discount for guests. It is close to the main streets of the town if you want to venture outside. The only drawback was that there was no lift.
