Amazing historic hotel, with amazing, friendly service. Renovated, spacious, clean rooms. Very little windows. Good airconditioning. Beautiful surroundings with a lot of green and flowers. The breakfast was fantastic. A great thanks to the staff, especially Loretta, who welcomed us like friends and made us feel at home. Best hotel we ever had. A little negativ point was the green water in the pool. We would like to come back one day

Very quaint place to stay in Lake Balaton. Easy walk to some restaurants in the downtown area. Not many amenities like a traditional hotel with 24 hour guest services but still a good spot. We did see a few spiders in the room but everything else was very clean feeling.
