Fantastic getaway
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Helikon in Keszthely. The hotel has a relaxed atmosphere and was pleasantly not too busy during our visit, which made the whole experience feel even more enjoyable. The wellness area was a highlight, especially the sauna sessions led by a fantastic and friendly instructor man, who really made the experience special.

The food was consistently excellent, both at breakfast and dinner, with a great selection of tasty dishes complemented by quality wines and pálinka. The views of the lake are beautiful, and the location is ideal, right by Lake Balaton and conveniently close to the train station. I also really appreciated the adults-only terrace area, which offered a peaceful space to unwind.

Cons:

Lift button was broken on the spa level, which could have been worse if the hotel was busy.

Tolles Wellness Hotel in Keszthely
Pros:

Sehr schönes und komfortables Hotel in guter Lage. Das Essen war hervorragend. Der Spa-Bereich lässt keine Wünsche übrig. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Die Hausordnung im Sauna-Bereich (sich nackt ausziehen), ist in einem familienfreundlichen Hotel übertrieben.

Pros:

Cel mai mult ne-a placut zona SPA , unde Kris si Csaba au fost cu adevarat Maestri ai Saunei....
Mancarea a fost senzationala, in fiecare seara surprinzindu-ne cel putin 1 fel de mancare (rata la tava , gasca la tava, Ciorbele excelente). Curatenia a fost desavarsita. Personalul din toate zonele a fost extraordinar de amabil...BRAVO !!!

На берегу озера
Pros:

Плюс за вид и за спа (бассейн, сауны и проч). Красивое, новое.

Cons:

Огромный минус - питание. Завтрак плохой, ужин тоже. Учитывая, что вам пойти некуда особо (все отели рядом также работают на полупансионе). Мы пошли специально в Аля карте с готовностью доплатить - не стоит…

Auch der 4. Aufenthalt war wieder super!
Pros:

Wir waren das 4. mal da, aus folgenden Grund. Wir kennen viele Hotels rund um den Balaton, aber dieses Hotel: Top Lage, direkt am See mit einem grossen Park, überragender Wellness Bereich, die Küche: Feinschmecker Niveau!Große Auswahl beim Frühstücksbuffett wie auch das Abendbuffett mit ausergewöhnlichen extras! Angenehmes Klima und Sauberkeit im ganzen Haus.

Cons:

Das ich einige Kilos (dank des tollen Essens) mit nach Hause genommen habe.
