Akademia Hotel**** Balatonfured

Nothing really.

For sure not a 4 star hotel, maximum 3 stars.1st red flag was that I could not use the booking wallet voucher. Hotel reception blamed booking.com2nd red flag - my son’s bed was really uncomfortable.3rd red flag- no coffee machine and water in the room. A 4 star hotel always provides these!

The only positive thing about this hotel is the breakfast and the staff. They are lovely.

This hotel is very cheaply made and dirty. The shower floor leans toward the room so all the water ends up under the carpet which gives the rotten odour when the doors are closed. Also has lots of limescale on the floor and rotten doorframe. The tiles still got the graphite pen numbers on from the building time and black mold. The towel heater is so dirty that it wasn't wiped down for a long time. The walls are made of plasterboard, you can hear everything the neighbours are doing and you can feel even when someone is going down the stairs: my headboard where shaking while lying in bed so very uncomfortable. Pillows are so flat that it's a joke. One had blood stains under the cover. Curtain is stained too. The wellness..I wouldn't call that at all. It's a swimming pool facility with outside visitors. You must access from the hotel through a corridor. The employees are rude, you must wear swimming hat for swimming, the sauna area looking like a dark prison from a futuristic movie. It has no shower only the bucket filled with cold water, not everyone wants that king of refreshment, the closest shower is in the swimming pool area or the changing room so you must walk a lot.Bathrobes are very old looking too.The chair in our room and in the corridor were peeling, it looks horrendous. Smoking is prohibited on the balcony however it isn't stated on a visible place so our neighbours were smoking and the smell came into the room. When I left the step out towel dirty on the floor the cleaner just put it back on the heater. The pictures on their site are very misleading.

modern structure, friendly staff

we were there with family to celebrate new year. we checked in at 2pm and the spa closed at 3pm. it is not suitable for children, there is no playroom for children, and there is no food for children, very boring for families

The food was really good, rooms nice, receptionist and dining staff friendly and helpful.

Pool and wellness was included in the pride of the stay - staff working there do not know English. Children were allowed in the saunas, which were also not functioning well, people in and out in wet swimwear, no towels to 'rent' for sauna. Not a good wellness. Also had to borrow swimming caps because there was no warning they are obligatory.

It’s OK.

We didn’t have wifi signal in our room and we weren’t able to attend some online lectures we planned. We mentioned it to the receptionist, however they couldn’t help us.

Second stay in Academia hotel and the proerty is a grat value for people like me with direct acccess to the main town swimming pool next door what is very convenient for swimmers. Stunning location on the top of the hill, further away from busy hussle and bustly.

Not applicaqble. The hotel meets all the expectations, will be returning in the future if the possibilty occures.

We had two nice days at Akademia Hotel.Great staff, good breakfast and dinner.

Not a 4 star hotel but fair price for what was offered.

Location was really good, also the breakfast/dinner!

The staff was absolutely not helpful with us. Our room was full of with insects, and they didn’t really helped.

The swimming pools and the view from the room.

The location of the hotel is far from the lake.

The hotel is in a nice new building

Generally the building looks like they do not take good care of it, or maybe the staff are underpaid so they don’t care about hygiene..Our bathroom was really dirty and the wellness facility has the same issue. The breakfast area is dirty aswell (handels of the cupboards, coffee maschine..) and not to mention about the juice station.. everything has an interesting taste.

parking free

internet connection in my room was very poor

It is a good location for the purpose of our visit

The room was very smelly and we requested to move, they did move us of that we are really grateful.

The rooms.were 2 spacious double,very comfortable,nicely furnished. The bathroom was also big and beautiful. The hotel is connected with the city"s huge and perfect swimming and wellness center .The breakfast was gorgeous and the buffet dinner was exceptionally tasty and variety.. There is a nice park around the hotel.We arrived by bikes, and they could be locked in a separate room.for the night.The hotel staff is very kind and helpful ,especially in the restaurant

There is no mosqito net on the window. In most 4star hotels thete is a coffee maker or at least some coffee provided.Missed itBeing a bit far from.lake Balaton,it is overpriced a bit.

Staff, easy parking, convenient location, nice balcony, nice garden

Needs a bit of refurbishment, uncomfortable pillows, misses kettle in the room

The staff were really nice and helpful. Cleanliness of the rooms were great.

During our first night, the fire alarm went off at around 2 am. Upon arriving at the reception, we discovered from other residents that this issue had been happening for a few consecutive nights.While waiting at the reception, we received no instructions or communication regarding the situation. So after waiting around for half an hour, we returned to our room.I understand that the fire alarm system is there to protect the people in the building, and I had no issues getting out of the room. However, it's equally important that the staff looks after us in a situation like this.

Kind staffs, clean property

Could be nice to have hot water in the room, also wifi didnt work

The room was ok for 1 night.

Poor services and very poor breakfast.

Location is good for what we needed to do in the area

Not very clean, the first room we were put in smelled of stinky feet, they gave us a new room without a problem but I had to take the extra bed, towels etc. to the new room myself which I found strange for a 4 star hotel.

We like a clean room and good staff.

Not good for chekout time.

I liked the big and clean room.

Saunas didn't work, just one. Even we ask to fix it nothing happened, they offered us to move out. The breakfast and dinner wasn't hot, almost cold.
