After having stayed down the road the Kelep was not the lap of luxury that that the Andrassy was but it is perfectly acceptable and half the price of the 5 star. We arrived at 3:pm ( CUT OFF FOR LUNCH SERVICE THERE) but the staff took pity on us and cooked us a nice meal which we ate outside in the garden.. The food is decent .I thought the pork and chicken cooked in a Tokaj wine sauce was pretty tasty.. A cold glass of draft beer was nice too. The back garden is a little rough looking and could use some landscaping but its nice to sit out there on a sunny day. The Kelep is located on a rather busy road and its not really the most picturesque part of Tokaj but once inside you its a relaxing place with a friendly staff. On the night we were there there was a gathering of Jaguar car enthusiasts who had fully booked the hotel... They were noisy but once in our room it was pretty quiet.. It's about a 20 minute walk to the center of Tokaj if you want to eat and drink and avoid driving. Hungary has a 0 tolerance for ANY alcohol in your system... We had a good dinner at The Bonchidai Czarda along the river..( see my review) One of my pet peeves is the complete lack of any sort of English language news channels in so many hotels in Hungary..

Read moreI made a reservation today in Hotel Kelep for 2 nights - May 3rd to May 5th. When I arrived at 21:30 the hotel was closed. I rang to the door but nobody opened it, so I called by phone. The representative from the hotel informed me that the hotel is closed, and since I am the only guest it is not worth it for them to open the hotel and heat it up just for me. Nobody will come to open the hotel even that I received a confirmation for my reservation. I was informed in the reservation confirmation that I'll be charge 50% after making reservation and that if I do not show up at the hotel at all, then i will be charged for the full reservation amount.
This is absolutely ridiculous - I am a professional driver and I was planning on resting at the hotel after a day of work just to find out, that the hotel will most likely take my money and not even care to open let me inside.
If I find out that my card/account has been charged or if the hotel decides to cause me any further trouble, then I will be sure to take legal action against it to the fullest extent. Absolutely unacceptable and disgusting.
Furthermore, because of the 22.00 curfew in Hungary, I am now forced to wander around illegally and look for a place to stay. I'll make sure Booking will be informed about...
