Guest Reviews
Location
Though slightly removed from the hustle and bustle, the hotel is strategically located near Velence Lake and convenient to the highway, providing easy access for travelers en route to Lake Balaton or from the airport via metro. Cyclists will appreciate its proximity to nearby bike paths, enhancing the appeal for those exploring the area on two wheels.
However, potential visitors should note that the hotel is situated a bit far from the beach and the city center and the train station is around 2 kilometers away. While it is a quiet and appealing place for relaxation, the hotel is somewhat distant from shops and other amenities, making it more suitable for guests traveling by car. Despite this, the excellent location, beautiful setting and peaceful ambiance make it a delightful spot for a restful stay.
Breakfast
Several reviews highlight that breakfast includes everything from eggs and meats to assorted breads and jams. The breakfast buffet is described as modest but nice, simple but good and diverse enough to satisfy many palates. Guests noted that the food offered is delicious and the breakfast is sufficient with a variety of choices available.
However, some guests felt that the breakfast could benefit from more options, describing it as minimalist and sharing that the selection can be poor at times. Specific criticisms include a limited variety for vegans, a lack of choice overall and issues like running out of black tea. There were also remarks about a cold breakfast in the morning and a bit insufficient coffee.
Overall, while the breakfast at Viking Hotel has many commendable aspects for its taste, variety and substantial offerings, there are areas where improvements could be made to satisfy a broader range of preferences and dietary needs.
