Kigyosi Csarda & Panzio

Location fantastic if you are interested in seeing the wildlife of the national park. Salt lakes within walking distance of the hotel - ideal for early morning or evening walks to the birds going to and leaving roost. Plenty of other walking trails nearby. The room was large and laid out nicely - it was nice to have a sofa. The bed was fairly comfortable. The staff were helpful and the restaurant downstairs was very handy. Breakfast was included in our stay with a good choice of hot options and a couple of cold ones. There was an extensive menu for lunch and dinner.

The very busy road outside was noisy from early in the morning until late at night, although from inside the room with the window shut this couldn't really be heard. It would have been nice if the restaurant tables were on the other side of the building, looking out onto the garden or river, rather than the car park and road: this would also alleviate the noise from the traffic whilst eating. It would have been nice to have a few more options without meat on the menu, but the choices were varied otherwise.

Kitchen is closed till 10 p.m.

We chose this place only for accomodation although it was far from any supermarket (12km, in Solt), but it was like a jewel in the middle of the puszta. The rooms are like in the photos. The classic style of the furniture provides it a cozy and comfortable ambient inside them. Although it is located beside the long road 52 and there is much traffic, its sound did not bother us because the windows are well soundproof. We thought that it would be an isolated and lost place beside the Natural Park and we discovered that this was not true. The place is well-known not only by the lorries drivers but by the people of the surrounding villages. Furthermore, the food of the restaurant is simply exceptional: well cooked, extremely well served in decoration (unusual in a restaurant beside a road) and a high level cuisine, not only in traditional Hungarian dishes. Breakfast was included and they provide you a list to choose. Whatever you choose, it will be very very good. Simply, a "must" in this area.

The smell of fried food is in the corridors of the first floor, and because of the nearby lakes of the Natural Park, there are many mosquitoes. However, what we considered it is worrying is the time to serve the dishes. Perhaps you have to wait almost for one hour for the first dish. And almost another 30min for the dessert. Some people did not want to wait for more time and went out of there, of course. It is too much time to be waiting even for an exceptional meal, because you have the feeling that someone forgot to ask for your order... and this is unacceptable in an exceptional place like this.

Fantastic food
