호텔 포르아시 잘라카로스(Hotel Forras Zalakaros)

This hotel has been asleep for the past 50 years. Some rooms have been partially renovated, but the bathrooms are original. The hotel looks shabby, the dining room is stocked with dirty chairs. The beds are hard and beds for children are terrible. The services do not correspond to a three-star hotel. It took a lot of work to get the TV up and running, The staff is poorly language-equipped. Both breakfast and dinner are bad. There is insufficient choice at breakfast, the juices and coffee from the machine are disgusting. Dinner is a choice of two main courses. We had an option with a New Year's Eve stay. I don't understand where the hotel gets the audacity to prepare a New Year's Eve menu, which ended in disaster. Horrible main course, inedible desert. We waited 40 minutes for a drink, half of the items on the drink menu were missing. I definitely do not recommend this hotel. It is suitable for people over 75 who want to remember the 80s of the last century.

Before reading this review, we shall ask a question - what do I expect from a good hotel? The answer to this question varies from person to person. For some, this hotel may be a paradise; for others, such as humble myself, it might barely pass the threshold of mediocrity. Let's get the details. The personnel: Generally speaking, the personnel was rather lovely and relatively friendly. Nevertheless, language-wise, I dare say, it was rather ill-equipped. Numerical: 8/10 The rooms: The room where we resided was relatively clean, at least in the most visible spots. However, the hotel might consider waging a war on pungent odours leaving the toilet, shower and air conditioning. Numerical: 5/10 Dinners and breakfast: Dinners and breakfast is a rather difficult topic to swallow - quite literally, unfortunately. First, the breakfast - it might be better to serve a jam in smaller packaging rather than in a jar which is apparently on the table 24/7 without any cooling whatsoever. The cheese and ham shan't be stored in warm conditions either, especially when there are flies loose in the building. Second, the dinners - food served at a hotel ought to transcend mere satiation of hunger, it should be a source of pleasure - the true culinary art. Yet, the combination of "cooked" fish with rice is neither a source of pleasure nor a culinary art. Similarly, cooked ham and meat with rice and pickled cucumber (how original )deviates, by its abnormal normality, from all I have eaten before. With a dash of sarcasm, one could say that we tried exotic food, but that would be an insult to anything dubbed exotic. Numerical: 4/10 Conclusion: Two people, 150/night - one would expect better. Was it a disaster? Surely not! Nevertheless, the quality of the offered services and accommodation was much below anyone's reasonable expectations. Numerical: 5.5/10

Modernisierte Zimmer; kurzer Fußweg zum Thermalbad. Für die Anzahl der Gäste ist der Speiseraum zu klein und 1 Kaffeemaschine inkl. Teewasser zu wenig.
