Hotels near Balatontourist Termál Kemping, Zalakaros

This was our 3rd consecutive year visiting this property, but it was our last. The hotel on its own is fine, but it really does cater to families with young children. If you want to relax, this is not the place for you, but if you do have small kids I would highly recommend it as there is lots for them to do. Since last year they made the stay all inclusive and we found the food quality has gone down because of it. Also, we did not realize that the thermal water which is part of the aqua park did not open until May 3rd this year so we only enjoyed it on the day of departure. If he had know this, we would have chosen another property.

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

The rooms in the hotel are very comfy, super clean. The wellness and spa fullfilled all of our needs. The food especially was unique, breakfast and dinner as well. Amazing staff on the reception, in the restaurant , in the wellness and the cleaning ladies as well. Good job, well done, we are definitely coming back.

We spent here only one night and booked with breakfast, dinner, and garage. There were big pros and cons during our stay, starting with the parking system. Finding the garage is a challenge and parking could even more so, as the have tiny dark spots between walls and pillars (this, for a surcharge of EUR 12 per night). We booked a higher room category located on the top floor. The room was spacious and the bathroom was alright, but walls and floors looked shabby with lot of stains and dirt that were there for who knows how long. It was not a matter of cleanliness, as the rooms were perfectly clean, but rather maintenance issues. Talking of which, the fan of the heating system kept turning on and off in about every few second, which was extremely annoying (especially in the night), therefore, we had to turn it completely off, resulting in a cool room and being exposed to all kind of noise from the corridor, as isolation is almost non-existing and we could hear every single word from outside, including the lobby music. The bed was comfy and the view was nice though. The highlight, however, was the food. Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious with plenty of selection (also for vegetarians). Overall, the value fine, but compared to the price we paid, at best average. It is definitely not a 4-star niveau, but it is mainly due to the maintenance. Location is also great (few minutes walk away from the thermal lake).

This is a great hotel. My room was really comfortable, nice comfy bed. I appreciated the empty fridge for my water, variety of glasses provided. Kettle and coffee machine provided. I was extremely impressed with the buffet breakfast and evening meal, both included in my half-board. Totally delicious, massive variety, every meal delicious. Outdoor pools very clean and well cared for. Thermal pool inside and outside. I would definitely go back to this hotel. You can easily walk to the thermal lake from the hotel. The hotel kindly lent us woggles without charge. I loved the lake and would love to return there. We paid for a three hour session, a very memorable experience. I had two massages at the hotel, they were great. I would really like to go back to this location and if I did would definitely return to this hotel.
