Whether it's the serene and quiet ambiance, the direct lake access, or the picturesque surroundings, the setting of Világos Hotel Balatonvilágos provides a compelling reason to visit.
Breakfast
On the other hand, several guests pointed out that the breakfast could be more varied, noting that the same dishes were often served every day. Some reviews mentioned that certain breakfast items, like scrambled eggs and breakfast rolls, could be improved, as they were sometimes cold or stale. There were also comments on the quality of breakfast sausages and cold-cuts, which were considered low-quality by some visitors.
Despite these mixed reviews, the general sentiment leaned towards a positive experience with many guests finding the breakfast to be acceptable and sufficient for their needs.
Dinner
However, there were also significant criticisms. Numerous reviews mentioned that the dinner options were limited with some guests finding the selection very minimal and repetitive. Others noted that dinners were often meat and gluten-centered, causing frustration for guests with dietary requirements.
While some guests enjoyed plentiful and delicious dinners, others experienced a lack of variety and low quality with some comparing the food to canteen fare. The contrast between positive and negative remarks suggests an inconsistent dining experience at the hotel, leaving room for improvement in ensuring a uniformly high dining standard for all guests.
Rooms
However, the hotel faces several criticisms regarding cleanliness and maintenance. A number of guests pointed out that the rooms and common areas could be cleaner with mentions of dirty bathrooms, outdated facilities and an overall retro feel to the decor. Reports of blood stains on bed frames, dirty curtains and cobwebs suggest that housekeeping standards may need improvement. Additionally, the rooms and bathrooms are often described as small with some guests mentioning cramped spaces and tiny amenities like sinks and TVs.
In terms of amenities, some rooms have modern facilities and functional mini-fridges, although not all are stocked, which detracted from the convenience for guests. The presence of an old TV, often described as tiny and not always functional, added to the sense of outdatedness in the accommodations. Noise from adjacent rooms was also a concern for some guests due to thin walls.
While the rooms have their charm with beautiful lake views and soft beds, there is a clear need for upgrades in cleanliness, bathroom conditions and overall room maintenance to meet the expectations of discerning travelers.
Beds
Cleanliness
However, numerous reviews raise significant concerns. Many guests report finding cobwebs, dusty and stained windows, mold, ants in rooms and bathrooms and generally poor conditions. Issues such as dirty bedding, old and dirty towels, smelly bed sheets and unclean curtains and toilets are frequently mentioned. The common areas and rooms often appear neglected with guests noting that cleanliness leaves much to be desired and that the building overall has an impression of being unclean.
Specific complaints include cobwebs on balconies and room windows, black mold and limescale in bathrooms and overall pervasive dirt. There were reports of dirty tables during meals and a lack of regular towel changes. Guests felt that cleanliness in the room was inadequate and below criticism with some choosing to leave after one night due to cleanliness issues, outdated furniture, poor communication and other maintenance concerns.
Despite the mixed feedback, the primary takeaway is that while some areas and experiences may be satisfactory, there is a substantial need for improvement in the hotel's overall cleanliness and upkeep to meet guest expectations consistently.
Staff
However, some observations point to less favorable experiences. A number of reviews mentioned that the staff appeared inexperienced and occasionally overwhelmed, suggesting that many were young students who sometimes lacked the necessary information or seemed disinterested. Despite these occasional lapses, the general consensus leans towards a positive view, especially when it comes to the friendly and polite interactions with guests.
Guests also appreciated the service in various hotel areas, including the restaurant and bar, where the staff displayed kindness and good service standards. Overall, while there are areas for improvement, particularly in experience and comprehensive knowledge, the majority of guests have enjoyed warm, attentive and friendly service during their stay.
