reviews

Good: Everything is great Bad: It was disappointing that there were no disposable slippers

Good: Close to amenities, excellent location. Bad: The hotel is vast with a lot of people but it was oke.

Great location, facilities and rooms. Food is standard buffet.

Good: The location near the peach. Also, close to beautiful Tihany village only 13 minutes by car. The spacious safe parking. The staff. The breakfast and dinner buffet was excellent. The private beach is very clean and beautiful. They quickly clean rooms daily. Bad: The room was small. Dirty old carpet. Only two uncomfortable pillows were in the room.

For us IT was pleasure to stay in this hotel. Nice rooms, good posotion, kind stuff, perfect foot.

A really great hotel that is in a good location near the promenade. Nice to have access to the hotel beach too.

Good: Adequate, bit dated, lovely staff, efficient and friendly.

Good: I loved the location and a new made rooms :) Bad: I didn’t like the restaurant… the dishes were dirty many times and a food could be a bit better

Good: Location and quality of food. Bad: Room was tiny but ok. TV and AC were not intuitive to operate. TV had no option to change language whereas other hotels I’ve stayed in did have that. AC kept shutting off and there were no instructions to operate. Front desk was not very helpful regarding that. Also, parking was a nightmare.

Good: Very comfortable, friendly staff a delightful hotel I liked the quiet dining room away from the larger one where families are. Good choice of well cooked food for every mealtime Bad: Nothing that springs to mind It was a very large hotel , but every there was accommodated.

Good: Our 3th stay at this hotel as the family. What surprised as positively is that we got interconnected rooms, even we did not expected. It made our stay even much pleasant and comfortable, and we found this much better than to have an apartment. Also, I would like to appreciate empathetic and professional approach of the staff, willingness to help, when one of us had a health issues. Thank you! Bad: Nothing to complain about, that is why we like to return to this hotel.

Good: The location Bad: Too many people

I was blown away, and the room, price, and food were all top drawer. Dont get put off by the outside. it's recently been refurbished. I would stay here again without question. Everything was great about this stay.

Location was good but the private strand wasn’t comfortable. There were no sun beds available for to use, had to rent them which is bad! Should be provided! The restaurant was crowded hard to find tables anytime!

Loved it ,beautiful place to be at

Good: Nicely furnished room Private area on the lake Good buffet for dinner and breakfast Very pleasant and helpful staff Close to bars and restaurants Bad: Very crowded for breakfast

Good: Fully renovated rooms, friendly staff, close to center and own beach Bad: No even salt and pepper at dinner, while food was quite boring and tasteless. Eur 10.- extra for a sun-bed on the hotel’s beach. (Yes, it’s very expensive when compared to Italy and Spain, and there we’re talking about seaside, not a grey lake)

Good: Nice and cozy rooms, good food, close beach, promenade, bars and restaurants, etc. Bad: Ocassionally a bit crowded canteen, which at the end proves popularity of the Annabella Hotel:)

Good: Food was excellent , location 2nd to none. I had a refurbished room which was very modern.

Good: Very good location, nice breakfast. Bad: Pool water could be warmer (stayes in May, weather was not the best).

Good: Staff were lovely food was good quality Bad: If you didn't go to restaurant just after opening meal wasnt hot .

Good: New rooms, freshly rebuilt. So everything was in perfect condition. The hotel is almost on the beach with private beach entrance just for guests. Nice variety of food for breakfast and dinner. Bad: There are 300+ rooms, so sometimes there was no space where to sit for breakfast and dinner. We also needed to wait for clean glasses and plates because of that. So maybe there is a little understuff.

Good: Breakfast had a wide choice, much above ***. Everything was tasty, met my expectation. Bad: Reception staff was not really friendly, legs up, no question about my stay at check-out. Some part of the hotel is very old, "retro" feeling.

Good: Property was excellent! Location is very suitable, few meters to Balaton lake, own beach only for the hotel guests as well as own swimming pool in the hotel. Room was excellent, staff very responsive. This is my second time staying in this hotel (first time was in 2020). Next time I will choose this hotel again. Bad: Nothing

Good: Sauna and steam room was out of order Bad: Steam room was not working

Good: The facilities were exceptionally and we had a comfortable stay as a family. Bad: The breakfast could be more varied, some pancakes and omelettes would’ve sweetened the stay. However, the breakfast is not that much of a deal breaker.

Good: As usually, very good

My husband was here business and I accompanied him.  The hotel was in an excellent location and I rented a bike on 2 occasions to see the sites:  Tihany Abbey and Church, pleasure boat trip on Lake Balaton and a tour of the city.  The food was good and I was able to select a healthy variety at breakfast and dinner.  The desserts were excellent!  I had a great massage and used the swimming pool regularly.  In summary, I enjoyed a very pleasant break whilst my husband was working very hard in the heat!  We would definitely recommend in low season but in July and August may be more suitable if you have children!

Good: We had a really lovely stay here. The room was smaller but nicely renovated and had a balcony. The hotel exterior and reception area haven’t been renovated yet, but the rooms have been – if you choose one of the renovated ones, you'll be satisfied. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located close to the lake and even has its own private beach – really a top location! The dinners were excellent. Breakfasts could use a bit more variety, as they were the same every day, but for our stay, it was fine. Thank you!

Good: Private beach. Amazing food options. Friendly staff. Nice and clean rooms, with very comfortable beds. Bad: Everything was good

Good: I stayed in a renovated room and everything was new and clean, with a beautiful view of Lake Balaton and the park from the balcony. Breakfast was the same every day but offered a wide selection. I personally missed having some bacon and pancakes. Dinners are totally worth it, soft drinks are included. There’s a large paid parking area in front of the hotel, and if it’s full, the staff is very helpful. They speak fluent English. Each floor has a terrace with a panoramic view of Balaton, which is a great bonus. In front of the hotel there’s a large pool, and the hotel also has its own private beach, the whole area is very well maintained.

Good: The location of the hotel is great. Lake Balaton and the cozy promenade are right next to it. Although it looks like it's a 60-year-old building, you can see that they care about it. The food is delicious and varied. What I would like to highlight is that the staff members were really nice to us from start to finish. Bad: The only weak point was the lack of room darkening. The blackout curtains didn't really block out the light, so the sun came in very early and it was still daylight at dawn, which bothered my kids.

Good: Room was very new, refurbished. It was small but well equipped. We had a great view of the lake. Bathroom was clean and very functional, no bad odors. Hotel looks outdated from outside, but inside it is very well maintained. Parking in front of the hotel, a lot of parking spaces. It's not free, but well worth to pay it. There is shade from the trees, spaces are not narrow, and it seemed like there was always enough space to park. Also location of the hotel is fantastic, it's very near the lake and center. The private beach was small but nice to have. :) Bad: Breakfast was very basic, and food was bland. It was just okay, we kind of expected it to be a bit better. But there are enough options.

Good: The location, the outdoor pool, and the beach access. Beautiful. Room was newly renovated and clean Bad: Rooms were a bit small and the air conditioner worked but locked so we couldn’t lower it below what was preset. The service at breakfast and dinner was a bit lacking but I can understand why. Lots of people, a bit chaotic and felt like a school cafeteria

Good: The place, pools, kids club, delicious breakfasts and suppers. We enjoyed our stay. Bad: The small discomfort with strong light from Airconditioning system that was not switching off

Good: The food is great. We enjoyed the pool. Bad: We expected a view of the Balaton. We only saw it from the balcony. The AC unit was very loud. People can still smoke in the building on the side balconies. Our room was right next to the smoking area therefore when we opened our window the smoke was coming in.🥲

Good: Location :). Also the refurbished rooms are pretty Bad: A bit expensive, but clearly you pay for the location and the proximity of the promenade and the beach. The lake view is partially for the roofs, but you can see the lake, indeed :)

Good: The location was great, close to everything!

Good: Despite our visit being very short, we had a really pleasant stay here. The room was nice and the staff were polite. We enjoyed the pool, plenty of sunbeds. The location is perfect, right on the Tagore promenade. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food also, apart from international "standard" hotel food there were proper Hungarian dishes e.g. "borsófőzelék" and "túrós csusza" that tasted homemade and delicious, so all credits to the chefs. I hope to come back at some point in the future for a longer stay.

Good: Very well located in Balatonfured, everything was easy to reach by walking. Room was quiet and nice, a lot of options for breakfast and dinner. Access to pools and private hotel beach. Loved that room had net for bugs/mosquitos built into the doorframe, so we could keep the door open for fresh air. Bad: There was a strange citronella smell in the bathroom, my assumption was that it was to repel bugs, but not sure. Maybe it came from the shower gel which had citrusy smell. Also, it would be nice is sun beds were for free for hotel guests on the hotel beach (they were free at the pool). Overall, no complaints, just minor things.

Good: Breakfast and dinner buffet, frontbeach, swimming pools, best location in balatonfured.

Good: Excellent location Bad: Bit noisy other guests.

Good: The rooms are a bit older but the view we had was incredibly nice. The location is very close to the lake and it's easy to go out for the night from the hotel. Bad: The pool is a bit crowded and small for such a huge hotel with so many rooms, so swimming wasn't that relaxing of an experience. But otherwise we had no complaints at all.

Good: Everything except inside pool Bad: Inside pool don't have warm water!!!

Good: Staff were very friendly and professional. Breakfast and Dinner was great with a lot of options Bad: Room could be a little bigger

Good: Nice serene location, good food, peaceful place, welcoming staff. Beautiful interior and great view. Bad: Not refilling of tea/coffee, as it’s in another Danubius, but not a major issue. The room is rather small.

Good: old but clean Bad: simplicity

Good: breakfast as always excellent Bad: The hotel rooms need to be refreshed a little

Good: The most memorable part of the stay was the helpfulness of the staff. I specifically remember Bora and a young female employee who's name I cannot recall helping us with making phone calls, directions and giving us suggestions. They made our trip such a fun experience. We loved the included meals. They were delicious and again the staff in the dining hall was so kind. The location was ideal and the hotel was easy to navigate. If I get a chance to return to the lake , I will definitely stay here again!

Good: Comfortable stay with family Bad: Nothing

Good: Food and service was great. Most of the stuff was very nice. The position is amazing, right on the main walking boulevard. We enjoyed our stay. Bad: Parking should be free like in most of the hotels. The walls are thin, if other guests are loud like in our case, you cannot get a good sleep. A pair of earplugs can solve it though:) The hotel has a private beach but the chairs are not free.

Good: Location, breakfast and dinner buffet Bad: Room and bathroom a bit old

Good: The location was great. Facilities was good, too. It's worth the money. Bad: Kids Club was not family friendly. Pool water both were cold.

Very nice for a hotel with 3stars.

Good: Very helpfull and friendly personal - good location

Good: The welcome from the staff. Friendly and happy to help/answer any questions. The 60’s decoration is something. Bad: Pillow. Very small and not enough The toilet itself. Weird shape. Uncomfortable

Good: -

Good: Close ti Balaton, nice View, very good food, helpful staff.

Good: Výborná lokalita,profesionální personál,výborné jídlo

Good: The selection of buffet breakfast and dinner is amazing, plenty of choices, fresh fruits, different kind of meat foods, cakes, soft drinks and so on... delicious and excellent. Bed was comfortable and big, nice room with small fridge for cooling drinks. Very nice outside and inside pools and free entry to the beach at the lake. Bad: The tap for the bathtub should be changed because it was difficult to open and turn. Otherwise no complaint at all.

Good: The hotel seen a better days as it is quite old, however everything is working as it should, the rooms are clean and have mosquito nets which is a big +, staff are very friendly and helpful, facilities are good, and the food choices and quality was 4*👍 Bad: A little bit of investment into the bathrooms would do a huge change on a + side. Our rooms didn’t have the shower holder which is not a big deal but make the shower a bit awkward.

Good: Excellent location, room with a balcony, great food and service. Loved everything Bad: There was not enough lifts for so many people.

Good: Deliicious desserts :), nice pools :)

Good: Great location next to the beach. Excellent breakfasts and dinners: variety of dishes, lots of fruits and vegetables. Wonderful pool, suitable opening hours Hotel lobby with bar and live music Bad: Nothing

Good: Very nice hotel, upgraded rooms are great, great views from balcony, polite staff, quality tasty food! Private beach. Tidy grounds. Overall excellent stay. Bad: Small child beds, if you are from usa or canada its very strange for you, it's smaller than twin. Rooms,smaller then standard size, max can fit 2 people.

Very satisfied

Good: Fab little break with the family. First class service. Bad: Too strict around the indoor pool. No entertainment for kids.

Good: This hotel has excellent power indeed

Good: Danubius Anabela is a large mass tourism hotel on Lake Balaton. As such, it was a complete experience with its own swimming pool, its reserved stretch of "beach" on the Lake, music in the lobby, bikes to rent, a "club," 2 meals a day (breakfast and supper) via cafeteria. It provided a "total comfort" experience for its guests. Many guest - like me - were "seniors" taking advantage of a "no hassle" vacation. I thought it was pretty good at its goal. The staff were friendly and professoinal. My room was small but clean with a balcony and a view over the Lake (if you looked hard). The location waa great for access to the Lake and the town of Balatonfured. I would stay there again. Bad: I had no complaints. It didn't have any "charm" or "historical ambience." But that isn't what it was offering. All the comforts, no need to go outside for anything. It was good for that.

Good: Marvelous place & fantastic hotel

Good: balcony and the view was great Bad: the bathroom and windows

Good: Great location, free parking, clean cosy room and friendly staff

Good: Everything was perfect.Out of the season only place that was full.Food was great.Everything so clean. Perfect location.

Good: Price for money - exeptional. Although it's an aging hotel the rooms and the facilities are well cleaned and maintained. The rooms are nice and adequately equipped. The location of the hotel is excellent. Food was tasty and there is a plenty of choice between local and international dishes.

Very good Hotel.

We have been there twice great view from the comfortable bed.Everything is very close,shops,beach etc..The food was tasty. Unfortunately its closed in the winter time.Will go this summer again.

Great!

Good: We had two connecting rooms with 2 teenagers, which was very comfortable. The rooms are old, but were well equipped and clean. The halfboard was great, good selection of delicous food! The view is beautiful from the balcony. Great value for money.

Good: Nagyon jó!!!

Good: Alles

Good: Wonderful location, clean,great facilities.Amazing views. Good choice of food. Bad: The gardener cutting the grass or leaf blowing at 6.30am.

Good: Chef is great! I love eating there. Beach is so close to the hotel. Staff are brilliant. Great views from the balcony. Bad: I was very disappointed with seeing a lots of flies in the food, which after my complain to the manager It was solved very quickly. I was pleased with that. However for a Hotel like this It should have been solved without any complain. I've been going to this hotel whenever I travelled to Balatonfured, this was the first time I was unsatisfied. Hygiene should be the most important thing especially when catering a huge amount of people.

Good: Great Staff esp. at the bar and the reception, Fun at breakfast (like the stampede at the Serengeti, reminds me of my childhood), My room great to wake up with the Sun absolutely fabulous, Boros Speti (I think his name) entertainment - this man can start a party anywhere Bad: Parking, luck of the draw and as I was there early leave late return in evening it was a bit stressful knowing if there was a place also please sort out (if you can) the Giants Causeway (Northern Ireland) - the large flag stones in the centre of the middle parking area, its a minor point really just nearly took the bottom of the car off racing for a spot one night
