Hotel Lover

If you’re nostalgic for communist-era Hungary, this hotel is your dream destination. Every detail feels frozen in time — except the rates, which are very much from the present day. The hallways are lined with threadbare carpets that have clearly survived several political systems, while the furniture and bathroom fixtures proudly date back 30–40 years. The highlight is the nylon shower curtain that lovingly clings to you — a truly personal connection shared with generations of guests before you. Breakfast offers an authentic retro experience too: either the coffee or juice machine usually breaks down, creating cheerful queues. The food is cheap and basic, though breakfast isn’t the worst. Dinner, however, is a deep-frozen disaster — even the schnitzel. Arrive late, and you’ll find empty trays and weary staff explaining they’re short-handed. The wellness area continues the theme with chipped walls, a hint of mold, and robes available for an extra fee — a unique touch in customer care. On the bright side, the surrounding nature is stunning, and the gentleman running the wellness area is genuinely friendly. If you’re after a nostalgic getaway to the 1980s, look no further — this hotel hasn’t moved on one bit.

To begin with something positive, the hotel is in a real nice environment. Other than that, we were quite disappointed. We came away with the impression that the hotel is run by predatory investors who want to make a quick buck without reinvesting. The rooms are more or less ok, but bathrooms - while clean - are very outdated. The floor tiles on balconies (small or big) have not been changed since times immemorial. The hotel is terribly understuffed, consequently check-ins are grossly delayed, well beyond 15:00 on peak-days. The receptionist - probably aware of the impossible situation - can only parrot that "there is nothing we can do". (Lack of cleaning personnel!) On top of that on upper floors early in the morning - not that early, actually just before 8:00 a.m. - water is simply not available. The reason: the pool is being filled up... This is simply unacceptable! On top of all this, the hotel is not inexpensive at all, in terms of value for money really at the bottom in that area. Avoid unless you have no other option!

I made our reservation to this hotel on the 23. March for our family for the Summer. They were very pleasent to deal with very helpful sent our deposit straight away. Unfortunetly had to cancel because of medical reasons. Cancelation was made on the 3rd.April. The lady i was dealing was very nice took my bank details to transfer out deposit back. Since then no money and no communication at all. Send severeal email no answer from them!
