Clean and quiet with good-sized rooms. Not sure where the food complaints came from in other reviews. Breakfast was great with eggs, meats and breads. Coffee could be personalized out of a single cup serve machine with a variety of lattes and espresso based options. Front desk was efficient and helpful. If I have one suggestion, the pillows could be better but great stay.

Csak egy kis pihenés

Ár-érték arányban megfelelő volt. A félpanzió nem rossz, de felejthető (a minőség jó, de a mennyiség és a választék kevésbé). A városi uszoda kellemes meglepetés nyújtott, ha nincs zsúfoltság, akkor klasszul lehet fürödni, úszni, szaunázni. A hotel egyszerű, de rendezett, modern. Minimál stílus de nekem bejött.

OK hotel, clean, convenient, food not so good

This is a fine, simple hotel in town. It is close to a couple grocery stores but you do need to walk some to the beach. The room was fine, nothing fancy but had the basics and was clean. The worst part of the stay was the food as many of the previous reviewers have stated. The breakfast was edible but nowhere near great, the coffee was awful and the dinner, well, we ended up finding other alternatives because of the limited choices. The staff was friendly and parking was easy.

Sehr sauberes u. neues Hotel. Sehr freundliches u. hilfsbereites Personal, Große u. geräumige Zimmer. Sehr gute Lage in Balatonfüred mit Blick auf den See u. angeschlossener Schwimmhalle, die man gratis benutzen kann. Leider gibt es bei den Fenstern keinen Insektenschutz, sodaß jedesmal vor dem Schlafengehen eine 'Spinnenkontrolle' unumgänglich notwendig war. Trotzdem sehr empfehlenswert !!

Disliked: Staff & service
A hotel maga, alvásra, ott tartózkodásra tökéletes volt. A személyzet nagyon kedves. De ez nem segít azon a tényen hogy bár biztos finom volt a kaja amit kaptunk volna, az étterem nyitvatartási idejének első órájában MÉG nem volt választék, másnap másképp mentünk, az utolsó egy órában, ekkor MÁR nem volt. Hogy mikor lett volna, azt nem tudtuk meg. A fürdésről nem is beszélve, sehol sem említette a hotel oldala sem és ez az oldal sem, hogy csak egy uszoda van mellette ahova kizárólag úszósapkában léphet be mindenki. Ezt persze adnak ha nem hoztunk, pénzért. De ki akar sapkát húzni azért, hogy pár órát a jacuzziban töltsön? Mi nem.

Kellemes füredi kis kiruccanás

Nagyon szép szálloda, jó helyen. Ami kicsit zavaró az a szomszéd szobák erkélyeinek közelsége, az ott történő dohányzás beszűrődött a nyitott ajtónkon át, a sajnálatos zajjal együtt. Igaz az ablakok s az ajtó valóban hangszigetelt csak melegben ez nem igazán jó. Egyébiránt a recepció kedvessége is rendben volt, a sok korábbról olvasott negatív komment a reggeli-vacsora ügyében abszolút alaptalan, az étteremben is minden rendben volt. Az uszodába történő átjárás is nagyszerű lehetőség volt.

This is a new hotel in a new building. Located next to a conference and sports complex including swimming hall, the service and facilities are excellent, clean, and modern.
