stayed in May 2007
The first week of May 2007 we spent one week in the Palace Hotel in Héviz. (Palota in Hungarian). I have booked trough Internet directly on their site ([--] , which has the advantage (compared to other sites like Expedia) of getting a special package deal including half board and a free massage for the same price. Our experience was very positive. The equipment of the Hotel is up-to-date with a decent sized pool, Jacuzzi and sauna in the basement. The Hotel is right in the centre of Héviz, between the 2 main shopping streets and 200 meters from the Thermal Lake. The rooms are modern and comfortable. The only negative side is the small size of the bath room, which is in a real contrast with the generous size of the room. The food in the Restaurant was excellent, suitable for tasting Hungarian food but satisfying more conventional tastes as well. Underground car park is available and we found that the place was an excellent base for visiting the Balaton region and the eastern part of Hungary. Visiting the Thermal Lake is also a unique experience. We flew with Ryanair from Hahn in 1 hour 20 minutes. Excellent idea for a short break!

Ryanair fliegt jetzt auch den Flughafen Sarmellek (FlyBalaton) an. Wir brauchten eine Übernachtungsmöglichkeit in der Nähe des Flughafens, um einen frühen Flug am nächsten Morgen zu erwischen. Die Stadt Heviz und das Palace Hotel hatten wir zufällig ausgewählt. Das Hotel war eine angenehme Überraschung. Es ist ein modernes Hotel (erst ein paar Jahre alt) und zentral gelegen. Die Belegschaft ist sehr freundlich und spricht Ungarisch, Deutsch und Englisch (vielleicht sogar mehr, aber das kann ich nicht beurteilen!) Die Einrichtung in den öffentlichen Örtlichkeiten ist etwas seltsam. Damit kann man aber durchaus leben. Die Zimmer sind schön und neutral und sind mit einem Herd mit zwei Kochplatten ausgestattet!
Das Hotel hat einen mittelgroßen Pool mit Sauna und Whirlpool, welche die Gäste natürlich umsonst nutzen können. Sie sind sehr sauber und waren so gut wie leer, als wir dort waren. Das Frühstücksbuffet bietet Speisen nach deutscher/osteuropäischer Art. Da ist für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Die Kosten für ein Doppelzimmer pro Nacht waren sehr günstige 50Pfund.

RyanAir now fly to Sarmellek (FlyBalaton) airport. We needed somewhere close to the airport to stay to catch an early flight the next day. The town of Heviz and the Palace Hotel were picked at random.
The hotel was a pleasant surprise. It is a modern hotel (only a few years old) and centally located. Staff are very friendly and speak Hungarian, German and English (possibly more but I am not qualified to judge on that!) The decor in the communal parts is a bit odd. We'll let them get away with that. Rooms are nice and neutral, and come with a two ring electric hob!
The hotel has a medium sized pool with sauna and jacuzzi which is free to guests, very clean and virtually empty when we went.
Breakfast is German/ East European buffet style. Plenty for all palates.
The cost for a double room for one night was a very reasonable £50
