Mala Garden Design Hotel

Great hotel and restaurant on the lake. We traveled in October and while the season was over this hotel was full. The service was extraordinary and the rooms top notch. The restaurant served amazing food and there was free parking. Highly recommended

This was our third stay at Mala Garden, each time has been great and it has been getting even better. It's described as a 4 star superior, but for all the things that matter it is comfortably 5 star. We've stayed in the Penthouse once and Aura Penthouse twice and the rooms are outstanding, very well furnished, nice minibar options, spacious inside and out and with nice toiletries. For restaurants there are two - Mandara,which is Italian style and Mala Garden restaurant which is a bit of a Hungarian/Asian fusion. We've been coming to Mandara for years as the food is great and there is a lovely outdoor terrace for watching the sunset and its also by a little beach on a very shallow inlet of the Balaton, which is perfect for young kids to paddle, while parents enjoy dinner. The food in Mandara is excellent We were never so convinced with Mala Garden restaurant, but this year I have to say the food was really exceptional. Breakfast is also served in the restaurant and that has also improved substantially, with a nice buffet and some a la carte egg dishes. It goes without saying the cakes are fanastic. Outside there is a perfect deck on the lake to sunbathe on in the day with drink service and pizzas's from Mandara and as it is next to Mandara you can just move there if you fancy something else. Indoors there is also an indoor spa with a family pool and an adults only pool, so somewhere to enjoy if the weather isn't great or you need a break from the sun. Service is also very good and as other things has improved over time as well. In my view this is the best hotel in Hungary,

Travelled as a family of 5 in August 2020. Came with a view of enjoying a few days relaxation after a busy few days in Budapest and it definitely delivered. The hotel was beautiful, the food in the restaurants lovely and the staff all very approachable.

It is a perfect target location during your road trip for a few nights and getting the feeling to be at home nevertheless. Breakfast is beyond the contitnental; your intolerance is counted. Staff are attentive and kind. The room had a nice relaxing feeling. The apple crisp as gift was surprising and the bottle of water. The inner swimming pool area was clear too any time of the day.

Worth your time. The hotel is a boutique, not a chain, which is a plus. Private deck, lovely balcony, complementary half an hour foot massage. Cake to welcome. Quality breakfast. Nice experience, overall .
