We loved the rooms, the breakfast (plentiful and great variety), having a dip in the swimming pool, and our 11-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoyed seeing bunnies and cats on the premises. In the early afternoon, you could help yourself to a refreshing herbal drink at Reception. The place has a lot of charm to it, I highly recommend it.

During my most recent visit, I had an absolutely fantastic experience! The friendly and accommodating personnel made me feel at home as soon as I arrived. The amazing level of cleanliness throughout my stay made for a cosy and secure environment. The large balcony that was connected to my room was the highlight of my trip because it offered a nice outside area where I could unwind and breathe in the fresh air. The rooms themselves were an ideal fusion of contemporary style and a welcoming, cosy ambiance. One of the most unforgettable experiences was waking up to my room's breathtaking view of Lake Balaton. Being able to see the lake so clearly out of my window was a real treat. This hotel stood out for its wonderful family-friendly ambiance. My entire family thoroughly enjoyed themselves, from the roomy accommodations to the thoughtful extras. Finding a place that so effectively serves everyone is not always simple, but this hotel got it right. Overall, I had an amazing time during my stay at this hotel. It was a memorable vacation because of the spacious balcony, the contemporary yet comfortable rooms, the spectacular view, and the welcoming atmosphere.

My wife and I were very happy from the moment we arrived at the property. We received a warm welcome and were quickly shown to our room. The room was spacious and tastefully decorated with all the comforts. It was warm, cosy and very quiet. We didn't try the restaurant (which we were told was very good) but the breakfast was absolutely outstanding! Lots of choice, freshly cooked and made with top quality ingredients. It was definitely one of the best breakfasts we've ever had in a hotel. At check out we bought some artisan beers made by the hotel, also very good.

FAQs about hotels in Lake Balaton

Blue Waters, Wine and Thermal Springs

Known to many as Hungarian Sea, Lake Balaton is the Central Europe’s largest body of fresh water and one of its most popular attractions. Located in the Transdanubia region of Hungary, the Balaton is great for water sports, wine-tasting trips or simply relaxing in the sun.

One of the major resorts is Siofok, great for a family holiday due to significantly shallower waters here and plenty of children activities and facilities. Known as the capital of Balaton, it is full of sandy beaches, stalls with local food and crafts, as well as nightclubs.

Other popular destinations on the south shore of the lake are Zamardi, Balatonfoldvar, Balatonfenyves and Fonyod, the latter offering great views of the lake and the volcanic-topped hills surrounding it.

The Balaton’s north shoreline features pretty towns, popular with an elderly crowd and lovers of deeper waters. Keszthely is one of them, with a beautiful 18th-century Festetics Palace and within close proximity to the spa town of Heviz, where people come to relax in thermal springs and beautiful gardens.

Further to the east, there is the unique Tihany Peninsula, cutting the Balaton almost in half, and a popular spot for diving. Visit Booking.com to find the best offers for hotels there and other areas around Lake Balaton.

    The staff (receptionists, Zalán - the bell boy, the restaurant staff, the masseuse, the ladies at the café) were all super kind, polite and professionals. When I checked in, I asked for some information about the massage. The receptionist remembered my request and introduced the masseuse to me while I was at the café. In the evening, he still remembered my room number when we went to have dinner - exceptionally professional! The room was clean and comfortable, the spa was enjoyable and super clean! There are restaurants around the hotel, the town centre is a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The food (we had breakfast and dinner) was amazing, we could choose from a big variety of dishes, and the coffee was amazing! We went there by car; the hotel has its own big car park, it's safe and only the hotel guests have access to it by using a card which opens the gate. There are different facilities for small children, the best is the bouncy inflatable castle. All in all, I can highly recommend this hotel to families, couples and solo travellers too.

    It's a nice place where you can spend a great holiday. You have a lot of bike lanes to ride on. The lake is usually nice but sometimes it can be really muddy. A lot of restaurants so you surely can find something to eat. Overall a great place to be during summer and autumn.

    I found service in Balatonfüred uneven. The low point was restaurant Il Lago at the lakefront: despite looking inviting, the service felt dismissive and the prices were high for what we received. If you don't speak Hungarian, expect German to be the main language while English is less widely used.

    Veszprem is a small city, with some very impressive architecture, and interesting history. Also a nice place to just explore . The area along the riverside which passes the bottom entrance to the zoo then reaches a really nice park is a favoured walk for us . The centre has a good selection of restaurants catering to a variety of tastes and budgets . One thing to be aware of is that lunch is the Hungarian main meal of the day , therefore we have a couple of times tried to get a meal a bit later on the evening , depending on the time of year or day of the week that has sometimes been hard to find . Getting around , we can walk anywhere it’s a compact city . We generally get a lift from family to and from Station, after that we walk , if your fairly fit and can walk for about an hour I think you won’t need public transport but it is available if required . We are 3 adults so can’t say what children would like other the zoo and ice cream shops which are very good .

    The main building in lake was closed for reconstruction and the lake was tooo cold for me. It should have been warmer at the end of September. It looks like the reconstruction will go forever because iI dod not see any workers. It is too cold to stay out of the main building. And they do not even give a discount. Should have gone to Budapest instead,
