Perfect location-a few steps away from everything!
Perfect location--best in Balatonfüred! A few steps away from EVERYTHING. We were concerned about the age and condition of the hotel. But, all things considered (this was our 5th place to try in Balatonfüred), this could possibly be the best lodging we have had in 'Füred.

Awful hotel
Awful, awful hotel. Built in the 60's and not updated since. If you are expecting a 3* stay, then forget it. I will be contacting Hotels.com for a partial refund, as the price we paid for this hotel was far too expensive. Look elsewhere if you are considering staying in Balatonfured

Dear Guest, We are terribly sorry to know you did not have a pleasant stay at our hotel, it is very regrettable that we did not manage to meet your expectations. We are an old-fashioned hotel but are continuously making small improvements in order to be able to provide our guests with an impeccable experience. We are one of the most popular hotels in Balatonfüred and we operate with almost full house in the summer. We do pay a lot attention to deliver a loving hospitality too. We can only hope you will change your mind and will return to us one day in the future. Sincerely, Hotel Annabella Management

well located ... you must also consider
The hotel itself is very well located and has very nice private beach. Hotel staff is professional and very nice to the guests. But must sayI was very surpised by room conditions in comparison of price we have paid, no air con, bathroom got frozen in 70's, very uncomfortable, temperature of the water isn't stable, especially in the morning - it is either hot or cold nothing between. Further more, the temperature of the swimming pool was kind of joke, which you wouldn not expect. Very very very cold. My little son is in love in water and he would jump in it without hesitation, but even he rejected to go there due to the temperature. Therefore, I would strongly recommend the hotel management to do something whith this well located hotel. In this location you have or will have a lot of competitors if you stay "as is".

beach location, clean and variable good menu's
The hotel was very efficient with many coach visitors. The superior room lacked tea & coffee as well as basic toiletries. Shower gel was in a wall dispenser. My reason for the lower comfort marking was because there was no central heating despite outside temp. However when I complained an efficient portable heater was swiftly provided.

Easy walk to Balatonaracs train station
Good train service for visitors without cars. It was hot when I was there, and the air conditioning in my room was excellent and much appreciated. My room rate included buffet dinner, with a number of Hungarian items available, which I enjoyed a lot. Beverages (other than water) weren't included; there were plenty of waiters to bring me beer promptly, and the price was very reasonable. There are (amplified) street musicians performing out on the promenade, and evening bar performers in the hotel itself, so light sleepers like me will use earplugs and be OK.

Must try!
This is a huge retro hotel from the Hungarian socialist era. Amazing dining hall, 1960 style. Standard rooms are basic, very comfortable, great view of Balaton. Bathroom fixtures are 40-50 years old... we loved them. I just hope that management won't "modernize" this place... It has a "club med" or young socialist pioneer camp feel to the place. Fantastic pool, private beach, breakfast and dinner (all-you-can-eat) included. Great staff...

Good hotel in a great location
The hotel was excellently located and great for families with a good sized pool but it is jjust tired and in need of some TLC. We would stay again but only on a B&B basis, the food was ok but there are many good restaurants in town.

Hotel was very nice, conveniently located both close to the train station and centre of town. It also had its own private section on the lake which a lot of other hotels did not. Breakfast was superb. Huge selection of everything from cereals to fruit to hot food. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Annabella Hotel - Balatonfured
The hotel has not had a proper refurbishment probably since before the communist era! The staff though friendly do not speak much english and are not exactly knowledgable of the surrounding area. The bath rooms are like nothing I have ever seen before with a common tap serving both the bath tub and the wash hand basin and are painted in this vile colour; I have photos to show should anyone be interested. Oh, by the way, you cannot be too short otherwise your chances of actually getting into the bath tub are very slim or impossible without the use of a stool or step ladder. The sheets were not changed daily and the TV's in the rooms date to pre history. It is unfortunate in that the setting is beautiful and Balatonfured is actually very quaint and well kept. A really great place but be prepared to use your phrase books if you do not speak Hungarian or at least, some German.

3 napos balatoni kiruccanás
3 csillag superior csak a szoba árában látszik. Igazi szocreál létesítmény, a fürdőszoba felszerelés olyan, mintha visszamentünk volna az időben. Rengeteget kell várni a liftre, amiből összesen 2 van és össze vissza járnak. A medence rész egészen jó, a szállóhoz tartozó strand is rendezett. A svédasztalos büfé, elég változatos kínálattal, elfogadható, de nagyon sokat kell sorban állni mert 1 terembe zsúfoltak össze több száz vendéget. Összesítve a recepciós 5 csillagot érdemel, a többi max 3.

Nulla takarítás, használt póló és pókok
Nem először, de sajnos utoljára voltunk ott. 2 db egy személyes ágyat kértünk, amikor felérve széthúztuk az ágyat egy használt póló jelent meg a földön...a "napi" takarítás" során, se a 3 napig ugyaott levő pókok hálója nem került eltávolításra (utálom a pókokat, inkább nem mertem megbolygatni az életüket), se a fürdőkád nem lett ki sem öblítve (ugyanúgy benne volt a hajam). Max. ha az ágyat vetették be és a törölközőt rendezték el, de erősen kérlem, hogy akár 2 vendég között tényleg takarítottak volna ;( 3 ejszakát voltunk ott, de bacon csak egyszer volt reggelinél egy ekkora szállodában, de alapból sokat romlott az étel felhozatala is. Sajnálom, ez eddig egy teljesen jó helyvolt, most takarítás és ár-érték arányban is katasztrófa pedig olcsón (36E/szoba/éj) foglaltuk.

Temmelig slidt hotel og besværlig udtjekning
Værelser særligt badeværelse trænger meget til en update, hvilket gør det daglige bad meget besværligt. Ingen udluftning hvilket giver fugtig og dårlig luft/lugt at være i. Aircondition som trods man ikke har det tændt larmer flere gange om natten. Receptionen havde rod i afregningen ved udcheckning hvilket førte til en lang diskussion da de mente vi ikke havde betalt hjemmefra trods fremvisning af kvittering og bankoverførsel.
