Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I love staying in this hotel, the location is amazing, the lake is across the street. It is close to everything, restaurants, entertainment, city center, and yet the hotel and the rooms are quiet, comfortable, the staff is very friendly, helpful, like family. The breakfast is delicious. It is like home away from home, I return every time I come to lake Balaton.

Das Hotel wäre super gewesen, wenn es einen Zimmerservice gegeben hätte, der das Zimmer täglich gereinigt hätte und die Handtücher getauscht hätte. Das war in den 3 Tagen nicht der Fall. Am zweiten Tag, obwohl wir das "bitte reinigen" Schild an der Tür gehängt haben, kamen wir nach Hause und es war nichts gemacht und das Schild hing immer noch an der Tür.

Hotel je stará vilka, interiér je prerobený, nakoľko okná má povodné, vobec netesnia a nie je odhlučnený, každý večer počuť hluk z ulice, čo narúša pohodlie. Blízko Siofok pláže.

Lovely Hotel

Lovely Hotel only a few minutes walk to the Lake. Friendly staff. Only bad thing would have to say about the place is that the air conditioning in the room was a bit noisy.
