We spent four nights at the Erhardt Panzio in the attractive town of Sopron. Many have written praising the hotel's restaurant, and we can only reinforce their praise. We ate in their garden every night from the varied menu, and didn't have anything we didn't enjoy.||My reason for submitting this review is that we were also guests of at the accommodation and feel that side of the business deserves praise as well. We were met at the door and our cases were whisked up the stairs to our room (there isn't a lift). Our room was quite spacious and was next to a small roof garden. Unfortunately, temperatures of 34 degrees every day meant we didn't rake advantage of that facility. The air conditioning struggled to cope with the heat, but we managed to sleep reasonably well. Breakfast was provided and was quite a novel experience. Lists of alternatives were printed out in Hungarian, German and English and were quite extensive. We hadn't made an effort to cope with the difficult Hungarian language, so relied on the other two lists. The charming young ladies who served breakfast only spoke a little German and no English. The first day I asked for a boiled egg and one piece of ham and cheese. I was presented with their "kalte Platte", a large dish of ham, sausage, cheese, egg, salad. The next day I asked for a soft boiled egg and was given three fried eggs. After that, I realised that pointing to the item on the list was a more reliable way of receiving the desired breakfast. Everything was done with a smile and only added to the enjoyment of our stay.||It was just a short walk into the centre of the old part of town, and 10 to 15 minutes to the railway station. Being over 65, we took advantage of the free public transport everywhere in Hungary (with the exception of certain intercity trains) and visited Györ and Köszeg. We didn't notice any rowdiness in the town and there was a pleasing lack of graffiti. Well worth a visit, and just a few kilometres from the...

Read moreThe Erhardt Pension Restaurant and bakery are just steps away from the center of Sopron in a beautiful old building with a very nice shaded dining courtyard. There are some newly renovated rooms and some older but nice rooms plus additional rooms in another building. I stayed three nights in a renovated room which was large and very nice. I added an extra night but could only get one of the older rooms which was fine but I recommend booking the newer rooms (the price is a bit higher). Buffet breakfast is included in the booking, its pretty standard although they own a retail bakery (on site) so the bread is excellent. Their restaurant is a destination all on its own and highly regarded by the locals. The food and wine are very special. The staff overall are very kind and welcoming. This is a charming Inn in the center of town with clean comfortable rooms and excellent food and wines and all at a reasonable price. It is a rewarding...
