We booked for one night at Eckhardt and unfortunately never got the chance to stay there due to a horrible booking experience. ||We were contacted via telephone by a woman from Eckhardt Vendégház about 17 hours after we had received a booking confirmation telling us that we would not be able to stay at her establishment.
