HOTEL LIPA — Hotel in Szentgotthárdi járás

In September 1998 I was pleasantly surprised by what the Slovenians of the area were trying to put together, a new hotel, supporting the Slovenians in Hungary. In 2013 I have travelled quite a big part of Hungary and this year my husband and I visited the town and the hotel three times (in spring, summer and the last days of October). The hotel sticks to its standards and despite different seasons has a very interesting kitchen. The food is tasty and Slovenian, but the cook knows how to incorporate some Hungarian details as well. Both of us wish to complement also the staff who tries to be kind and personal, but does not push too far into the guest. Sometimes it is probably a bit hard to find the hotel, because there are not many signs on the way, but pass the bus station (it has to be on your right) and just the next road crossing ahead you'll see the sign for the hotel (LIPA) and you will not be sorry. The personnel speaks at least 3 languages (Hungarian, Slovenian and German).

If you really need to stay in Szentgotthard (St. Gotthard in German or "Monoster" in Slovene), this hotel will probably give you some decent sleep and reasonable food.

The staff is very nice and the food is simple but reasonable. Don't expect one of those large-hotel breakfasts, but it's fine, as long as you don't have unwieldy expectations. If you are physically handicapped, note that there are no elevators. Internet worked quite well and at relatively high speed. The biggest complaint that I have about the hotel is that the water pressure is extremely poor and the water in the bathroom faucet in my room came out in a spray rather than a stream. I was there in cold weather but I did note sports facilities outside, including a tennis court. Keep your expectations low and this hotel will work for you very well during...

We have spent 3 days here and the service of the place was just great. Rooms are nice and specious and their restaurant offers a good selection of meals. We wanted to theist some Hungarian food and the chef was more then happy to make something special for us. Beside the hotel the town has an interesting center full of little shops historical sites and thermal springs. All in all nice and different place...
