otel Aura is conveniently located within walking distance of Lake Balaton, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, providing everything we needed for a pleasant stay.
The dinner options were excellent, with a variety of delicious dishes to choose from. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Hotel Aura and would happily return.

I stayed here for 3 nights with my mom. Here is my experience:

Property and Location: The property seems relatively new, well maintained and clean. Location is great, walkable and safe. There are options for food, shopping and activities. Also, there are two shores of a lake (Balaton) close by for swimming and other activities.

Food: We had half board (breakfast and dinner) included with our stay. For the most part, the food was tasty and well presented except of the catfish stew (\"harcsa paprikas turos csuszaval\"), which was completely tastless. and the noodles were dry. A Hungarian specialty like this should be always outstanding. Considering the hotel' rates, filtered tap water should be free of charge. Instead, we paid around 7 dollars for the plain water. We found this outrages. We loved the breakfast choices like egg options, chia pudding and fruits. Dinner started at 6:30pm which was a little late for us (usually it starts from 6 pm)

Room and Service: This needs improvement BIG TIME. This is the first hotel I ever stayed where staff does not make the beds. We had to ask to vacuum and empty the trash. Only one bathing towel and one pool towel per person was provided. There were no small towels for face and hands. There was no hand lotion, shampoo and conditioner. These are standards for even a 2/3 star hotel elsewhere. Some towels had holes in them. Cleaning staff seemed careless.

I hope management will read this and make some improvement.

I enjoyed my stay here. The rooms and common areas were very clean and tastefully decorated. The staff was very kind. There was a wide selection to choose from at dinner and breakfast. The food was super delicious and premium quality. Their morning coffee brand and the coffee machine could use some improvement. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return.

Apparently it's something they do in Hungary after September 21st. Turn off the A/C, unplug all the exercise equipment, shut down the spa unless requested. I appreciate their eco-consciousness. Just made me feel not so appreciated. That being said, this hotel is beautiful and modern with a great location near the lake. We were stunned that the reasonable price included not just a great buffet breakfast but an equally great dinner! The staff were very nice as well, just not able to give us a room with working AC. (This was the second hotel in Hungary to have this problem - the other hotel flatly told us \"summer is over, we turned the A/C off.\") Has nothing to do with the outside temperature.

In itself a very nice hotel. We arrived too late to use the wellness, but we trust that that was all in order, because the hotel really breathed that atmosphere.
A pity that the staff was hardly able to speak English.
It is really a shame that it is not possible to make your own coffee and tea in your room.

This hotel is truly a luxurious experience. You will have access to multiple of saunas, steaming room, indoor and outdoor pool, a Jacuzzi, and many water jets. It is a full SPA where you can also book massages. This beats any Turkish bath. The breakfast and dinner options were superb and the staff is very friendly. Parking is available plenty right adjacent to the hotel for free as well as for a fee $10 / day if you prefer to stay on hotel property. The promenade and beach is just a 2 minute walk away, but yet you are in a very quite and relaxing area. Absolutely a must if you in the area.

A small hotel with excellent food and spa

Excellent facilities both in th spa area and the outside pool. Very comfortable spaciest outside. The food is outstanding, both breakfast and dinner,, the service is also excellent. The bread rooms are good, the servicing is ok we told. Them our bathroom light would not turn off but nothing was done and we had to take he card out at night to make it go off, this let it down slightly as a hotel although I must say we did still love it, we were just disappointed nothing was done and we had to use our mobile phone torches during the night. Very convenient for the lake. Spa treatment was incredible and the best masssage I have ever had.

They dont accept kids even though they let you book a room having a kid there. They wanted me to cancel my booking as their Hotels.com setting was incorrect allowing me the booking for a sub 1 year kid. After 14 days I had to contact hotels.com and arrange the cancellation myself. Joke.

Lovely new hotel in a great location. Room was fabulous. My rate included dinner which was nice. Breakfast was also nice. The only 2 things I would mention is the same staff served dinner who had to be back in for breakfast so they werent the happiest people, and closed the bar early. The other is the cost for drinks. London prices in Hungary - not acceptable.

O Hotel é confortável, boa qualidade do café da manhã e jantar, mas considero injusto um horário de checking a partir das 15:00 horas e checkout às 10:00 da manhã. Como ficamos apenas uma noite considero um valor de diária muito alto por apenas 19 horas de utilização.

Ikke så godt som vi forventede.

Det positive.
Beliggenheden er rigtig fin.
Værelse til 3 personer var fin størrelse, sovesofa til teenageren fungerede fint.
Personalet var venlige, men mange talte ikke ret godt engelsk.

Det “negative”.
Vi aftalte tidlig check in mod betaling, men værelset var ikke klar, da vi ankom.
Vi måtte bede om en ekstra stol til terrassen, så vi alle tre kunne sidde ude.
Der er ingen tørrestativ, så vådt badetøj, morgenkåber og håndklæder måtte vi hænge på stole.
Der var en lille håndklædetørrer, men der var langt fra plads til det hele.
Aircondition var forudindstillet til 23 grader og kunne ikke ændres.
Rengøring sprang vores værelse over to gange.
Udvalget i restauranten var meget sparsomt og til morgenmaden fik man et menukort, hvor man så måtte vælge 1 ret med æg + 1 “sød” ret.

Radfahr/Badeurlaub

Check in hat gut geklappt. Zimmer war schön, vorallem das Bett/Matratze und Kopfkissen waren sehr bequem.
Am 1. Tag waren 2 Flaschen Wasser im Kühlschrank im Zimmer, die restlichen Tage wurde das Wasser leider nicht mehr aufgefüllt.
Zimmerreinigung: leider kein Duschvorleger vorhanden, Handtücher vorhanden, wurden aber keinen Tag ordentlich gelegt ( waren immer so, wie wir sie zum Trocknen gehängt hatten) - wurde in anderen Hotels, aber schon gemacht.
Die lauwarmen und frischen Brote bzw. Weckerln beim Frühstücksbuffet waren ausgezeichnet, das rest. Frühstücksbuffet war auch sehr gut und ausreichend.
Vorspeisen- und Nachspeisenbuffet beim Abendessen könnte einfallsreicher und abwechslungsreicher sein, dafür war die Hauptspeise a la carte jedesmal sehr gut.
Das tägliche frische Obst hat gut geschmeckt.

Radwege rund um den Balaton sind sehr gut ausgeschildert.
Das Strandbad /Balaton ist nahe dem Hotel und zu Fuß schnell erreichbar.

Alles in allem war es ein schöner Kurzurlaub, kleine Verbesserungen bzgl. Zimmerservice sind möglich.

A luxus skót

Összeségében a szállodában töltött időnk kellemes volt, de nagy hiányosságok voltak és olyan kellemetlenségek merültek fel amit azt gondolom, hogy ebben az ár kategóriában, négy csillagos szállás nem egedhet meg magának.
Amikor megérkeztünk a recepción közölték, hogy nincsen londiner.
A fürdőszobában a tükör feletti fal tiszta pókhálós volt az ágy hajas ami ott tartózkodásuk alatt sem tűnt el. Sőt a három nap alatt egyszer nem takarították ki a szobát, amikor ezt szóvá tettük, azt ígérték, hogy ki fognak takarítani de csak tiszta törölközőt kaptunk, valós takarítás nem történt. A szobában ki volt téve két kancsó szűrt víz és a mellette lévő táblára azt volt írva, hogy minden nap újra lesz töltve. Ez egyszer sem történt meg a három nap alatt. Minden utazási oldalon az szerepel, hogy fél panziós ellátás van, de valójában valami hibrid ellátás kaptunk, nem volt svédasztal, ami egyenesen felháborító ennyi pénzért, hogy a vacsorához egy korty vizet nem adtak (ingyen) ilyen félpanziós ellátást még nem tapasztaltam, ahol egy üdítő sincs benne a fogyasztásban. A medencéket nem fűtőtték fel tisztesegesen, az úszómedence és a jahuzzi is kifejezetten hideg volt. Az egyik medence meg teljesen le volt engedve és nem lehetett haszbalni.Lehet ezzel spóroltak. Az infra szauna szintén nem működött teljesen.
Ami számomra hatalmas csalódás, hogy ráadásul felnőtt szállodában miért nem lehet teljesen meztelenül szaunázni, lenne mint tanulni az Osztrákoktól.

Service has much weakened, a pity ...-

This hotel used to be our favorite - but last time we visited, everything was less or much less looked after. They forgot to clean our room ... we had to complain. One can not turn on by oneself the pool jets/whirl jets in the inside pool; and nobody comes to do that. So you sit in the still water - this is not a good service. We hope it will improve - otherwise we have to consider another hotel at the Balaton, for next year.

Rigtig gode dage, trods håndværkerstøj

Virkelig dejligt hotel. Meget service og lækker mad både morgen aften!
Dog rendte der håndværkere rundt og monterede overdækning/ude, hvilket tog en del af luksus-fornemmelsen, da det var ude ved poolområdet, og hver dag fra 9-16 cirka.
