Balatonvilagos Vacations from $401

Great location on the Buda side. Convenient to public transportation - both tram and bus. Room was clean and nice with plenty of lights. The room also had a refrigerator. Also had an iron. I also had a very nice view, and could see some of Fisherman’s Bastion.

Not in the centre of town, but easily commutable. Quiet, safe neighborhood.

Overall great value. Although it was a little difficult to get into the room the first time, thanks to the detailed video we were able to figure it out. It is in a prime location; close to everything. The room was pretty clean and the amenities were good. There was no weird smell or anything. The only bad thing was the windows are thin and you can easily hear traffic and talking from outside, so if you are a sensitive sleeper it may be hard to sleep. The staff was very helpful and always replied quickly on WhatsApp. The mini fridge was broken in our room but a staff came quickly within an hour of me messaging them at 11pm so I was very impressed with that.

Apartment was on second floor and although it was a little small it was clean and in a relatively central area. We only had 2 towels for our whole stay, no hand towel or tea towel, so this needs to be improved. Yes there are bins in the bottom stairwell but people live in the apartments so you would expect a bin store, there was no smell from the bins. The fact that we had a 25 minute walk to collect the key to access the property was not acceptable, we were not aware of this when we booked and probably would have chosen an alternative property as this did take extra time when we were only staying for 48 hours and took us out of our way, the lady at the reception wasn’t very helpful at all. Overall apartment was fine for what we needed but having to collect a key 25 minutes away wasn’t acceptable.

Here’s a polished version that keeps your meaning clear and professional: ⸻ The staff were polite, and the room was clean. However, there was one issue that I wish the hotel had handled better. After a long flight, I arrived at the hotel at 10:30pm. Check-in was seamless, as I had completed it two days prior. However, when I entered my room, it was very dim and the light was flashing like a lighthouse. As a solo female traveler, I was concerned. I went downstairs and spoke to Peter, showed him the video I took, and he agreed it was strange. He promised me a new room for the next two days, as the hotel was fully booked that night. The next morning, after not getting much sleep, I packed my things and went to the lobby, only to be told by another staff member that the hotel was full for the rest of the weekend. This put me in an embarrassing situation, as I had to return to my original room. That said, I still had a great time in Budapest. I’m surprised by the unwelcoming room, the false promises, and the lack of compensation—especially from a hotel associated with a Michelin-star restaurant and the Solid rooftop breakfast.
