This was our second time returning to the Belenus Hotel, and once again, we were not disappointed! It is a very cozy, friendly, and charming hotel with a superb little wellness area that perfectly crowns a weekend getaway, along with great food at every meal.

It's no coincidence that we've been coming to this hotel for over 10 years. There's no request they can't fulfill. Friendly environment, attentive staff, family-like atmosphere, comfortable, clean rooms, and a relaxing, uncrowded wellness area perfect for rest and rejuvenation.

Ildikó Baan

We stayed at the Belenus Hotel for the third time, and once again, we were not disappointed. It is a very pleasant, comfortable, and beautiful hotel. The staff is excellent and attentive to the guests' wishes. The food is delicious and varied, and the servers are very attentive and quick.

Kálmán Szabó

We travel the world from Peru to Nepal, but we regularly return to two places: Belenus and the Maldives. Great clay tennis court, unbeatable food, and excellent hospitality.

Henriett S. and Jenő L.

One of the best hotels we've stayed at during our travels (worldwide!!!). Clean, spacious room (superior), excellent wellness area (we didn't even go to the large bath), and the breakfast and dinner offer a wide selection, with the food being incredibly delicious.
