Hotel Forrás Zalakaros

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
