Rosinante Fogadó — Hotel in Szentendrei járás

We had a really pleasant stay here for a few days at the beginning of August 2020. The location is quite remote, which makes it lovely and quiet - but nearby towns are either a short drive or a short walk and ferry ride away. The room we stayed in had all the necessary amenities - this is a cosy, family-style pension, so as long as you have according expectations, you will not be disappointed. The bed was quite comfortable, and though there is no air-conditioning, the fan helped a lot during the warm nights. Be sure to ask for a mosquito net to cover the door, for better ventilation on hot summer nights. There are a lot of amenities outside of the rooms, including an outdoor pool, jacuzzi and spa, although we did not use the latter two.

Rosinante has great food for lunch and dinner - the menu is not huge, but there is enough to choose from, and the quality of the food is very good with occasional stellar surprises. In particular the lecsó (a classic, basic Hungarian dish) is a must-have, as is the gulyás bean soup. The turógombóc (quark balls, yes) dessert is to die for. The wine-list is similarly compact, but excellent. Be aware that the three-course option can be very filling, we ended up going a la carte after the first evening. The breakfast is buffet style, tasty and quite extensive, with freshly made egg varieties for those who wish so.

The staff at Rosinante is exceptional, friendly and helpful while never obsequious. They made our stay that much more pleasant, just by being attentive and present where needed. I've been to much more expensive, 'fancier' hotels that did not come close to this level of service. In all, we had a great stay and would heartily recommend Rosinante to anyone wanting a quiet getaway that is still close...

I had a Sunday lunch there with my friend. Nice location, green, peaceful area.||However, the service wasn't great at all.||1. When my drink run out, nobody asked me of I wanted to have more. (You miss here the opportunity of upselling).||2. There is NO dairy free option on the menu! (Lactose free does not mean dairy free!)||3. We only had main course, but the waiter did not remove the starter cutleries.||4. The napkin would be better in textile or any other material rather than paper.||5. The pork dish on the menu was NOT HOT at all||6. Nobody has got back to us to ask if wr liked the food or if we would like anything else.||7. Dessert for a dairy free person? Forget about that! Nothing on the menu. But at least they can do fruit salad.||||The atmospehere and the decor was great amd we liked the little music box with the invoice in it, we also got roses as a good bye gift, but personally according to the service, it is over-priced. Unfortunately, I had a big expectation from this place as it was recommended for us, but I am disappointed. Not because of the food, that was fine, but the service is low class. It definitely needs...

1 Lovely garden 2 Really kind, but inexperienced waiting staff needing food and beverage trainings 3 Very poor drink/ wine selection. Offering Törley as the only bubbly by the glass is a no go and a bad first impression 4 Starters were nice (duck liver / and zucchini filled with goat cheese). Satisfied with these . 5 Main course was a ribeye steak which was slightly overdone, but a bigger problem was that the whole plate had the feeling of an American breakfast restaurant plate. There is bacon served on the stake… please stop this nonsense. If you gave hash browns and Heinz ketchup it would be a great brunch food - not this way. Bacon’s taste is ridiculously overwhelming, fermented ginger/cucumber combination on top of the potato is also a miss . If you serve steaks, stick with classic combinations. Kind and lovely place , but will not be returning in the coming one-two years, will be curious to watch other reviews...
