Recently I had the time of my life staying at Hotel Patria in Pécs, Hungary. It was incredibly cheap at about $37.00 USD, all taxes and fees included.
If you prefer a hotel key that is a card with a magnetic strip to a keychain which has your room number engraved into a nice fat and heavy piece of brass, then you probably won’t like this hotel.
The hotel room was cozy and the bed was comfy. It had refrigerator and a balcony!
If you were expecting a crap American style complimentary breakfast, you are in for a shock! They have all types of meats, including sausage and Hungarian salami, scrambled as well as sunny side eggs that are properly heated and not rubbery, good Hungarian bread and confections, and plenty of juice. I believe they had fruit and cereal too, but I didn’t have any of that. The service at this hotel was beyond great.The staff spoke English very well. This hotel and this city are heaven come down to earth. The only thing that really bugged me about this hotel was that there was no extension outlet near the desk to plug my portable into. I had to unplug the night lamp in order to free up an outlet, which made things a little difficult. It was a small price to pay for this old-world style hotel in the heart of the most beautiful city in Hungary. It is only about a ten minute walk from the train station to the hotel.
