Mala Garden Design Hotel

Ethereal peace, waves, comfort and luxury. It is just like an island in the Far East, but within your reach, on the southern shore of Lake Balaton, in Siófok. The harmonious architecture and unique interior atmosphere of Mala Garden Hotel and Restaurant Siófok offer an exclusive experience to the guests. Scents, flavours, beautiful views – we make sure to indulge all your senses. In the hotel, natural materials (natural stone claddings and reliefs, tropical wood claddings, stone sculptures) and state of the art technology are featured side by side: smart TVs, LED lights, Italian Jacuzzi massage tubs and energy efficient engineering solutions serve the comfort of our guests and economical operations. The interior design of the building was inspired by far-away exotic travels: all spaces have an air of harmony, peace and functionality, while luxury is ubiquitous during the whole stay. The key objective was to recreate the Balinese harmony between nature and living space, also considering the principles of Feng Shui. Opening the huge folding glass walls of the lake-side restaurant, the garden and the restaurant melt together, blurring the line between inside and outside… The garden near the shore is a unique visual experience.

Fantastic gem in Siofok

Reviewed By graemep904

This hotel was an excellent experience all round. It is clear that this a new property and the design and feeling was fantastic. The spa is a great experience, and also the restaurant provided a great breakfast. The property was in my opinion a little expensive considering we visited out of season I dread to think what high season prices might look like :-)

We liked it a lot

Reviewed By BaSz97

This is a very good and modern hotel in Hévíz, we arrived with our small child and everything was perfect. Really. The room, the services we got, the check-in were absolutely fine, we liked the meals, the pools, the staff were friendly, and we had a perfect holiday for a small family. A perfectly exciting place for a curious kid, and also relaxing for the parents. Smoking should be restricted / banned, though, it is still allowed in many places. Shame.

Nightmare

Reviewed By 440ah440

We came for two nights and escaped after one night in this nightmare of hotel. When we arrived we were lied to that the only available room was a suite at €400. Later we found on booking huge available of other rooms. The hotel resolution was....next time when you come will compensate you. Food was terrible real pig style and without any Covid-19 precautions. When we asked for towel exchange we were told that only one towel is allowed per day....that ended on a huge argument with reception still we didn't get the towel.

This hotel really hates children families. Your child is not welcome there. Spa and sauna is only for old people. Old people are nice. Spa staff was very rude to us. One older staff member shouted us and came to see naked people on sauna. We were afraid.

Memorable stay

Reviewed By OZS_ATW

We stayed at this hotel in early March. The location of the hotel is very good. The service was one of the best I have ever experienced in Hungary!!! The staff was always helpful. The hotel was super clean, the pools were also nice along with the steam cabin and saunas. The breakfast, lunch and the dinner were really delicious. My only regret was that I really missed a small gym or a room to do my regular stretching and basic workout.

Well located, uncomfortable experience. A few good waiters but most were stand-offish. This Hotel is sold for adults only but there were a few teenagers with parents. Personally I won’t go back there.
