Hotel Yacht Wellness & Business

“Excellent hospitality”

The best place to stay in Siófok. Central location, lovely lake views, comfortable rooms and very attentive staff. The food in the restaurant is varied and good quality. We will definitely return soon.

“Pleasant and relaxing stay”

Perfectly lovely stay. Probably not as upmarket as the website makes out - a lot of the facilities feel like they haven’t been updated in 20 years or so.

Perfectly lovely stay. Probably not as upmarket as the website makes out - a lot of the facilities feel like they haven’t been updated in 20 years or so. But all perfectly usable and clean, and staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful (and almost all spoke perfect English, and which was a pleasant surprise). Food options were good, with standard basics each evening but also more local specialties. Lots of variety of meals. Location was strong, with a lovely view of the lake and dock. About a 15 minute walk along to the seafront, though there were lots of hireable scooters outside which made it much faster. Hotel itself was very quiet during our mid-June visit, which was nice. Dining space was almost totally empty so we never had to wait. The “spa” is really just a medium pool with adjoining kids’ pool and hot tub. Perfectly pleasant but probably closer to a leisure centre experience than a luxury one. Don’t think there were ever more than six people in the pool at a time, including the two of us. However the steam rooms and sauna are only used a few days a week, so weren’t on for the duration of our stay, which was a bit disappointing. Bedrooms were basic but absolutely fine. A kettle might have been nice but maybe that’s just my British showing! Air con in the room was much appreciated; we had it on around the clock. I would definitely recommend the hotel, but would advise not to focus too much on the “four star” part of the name, and instead expect a more standard holiday package hotel experience. My only other note is that we were plagued with flies while out on the balcony in the evening. Not the end of the world and certainly not within the hotel’s control, but it was mentioned in passing during checkout that we could have asked for bug spray at reception - keep in mind if you have a lake view room!

Nice hotel right on the Balaton embankment with its own marina and wellness center. Beautiful quiet environment, but very far from the city center and also from the main promenade. But the peace and quiet is excellent. The rooms are small, one side of the bed is almost against the wall and it was difficult to reach it, weak heating in the spring, it was cold in the room, a disproportionately large bathroom but with a very small shower where the average person had trouble showering. Our bathroom smelled of sewage. Wellness with a large swimming pool with a little cold water and a whirlpool with quite dirty water, which is adjacent to the children's pool. I was not very impressed with the wellness, I was expecting better equipment. Breakfast and dinner deliciously cooked, even if breakfast is still the same and evenings are often repetitive. The problem was that, despite the large number of staff, they did not have time to replenish the food and there was often a problem with an empty buffet. The restaurant and bar staff had trouble communicating in a language other than Hungarian, but they were still very nice. The same goes for the staff in the wellness area. The only good English speaker was the reception. Despite the high price and 4*, this hotel should be presented as 3*, because the services and facilities did not correspond to 4*.
