So, it was our annual visit to hotel Venus/Aphrodite in Zalakaros, Hungary. My wife and I married 7 years ago and our honeymoon was in hotel Venus. Every year we came here on our anniversary and we were satisfied with everything until this year. I would like to say that we are not very demanding guests and we don't look for perfect conditions wherever we go, but this year we found some issues and we are certain that it wouldn't be better in the future, just worse.
1. We have seen a toothpick on the floor in the pool area on Friday (toothpick was in the middle of the passage, not under the radiator or chair) and it was still there on Sunday.
2. On the Sunday afternoon complete floor around the pools smelt like dirty feet.
3. Waiter in the breakfast/dinning area had shoes cover in mud (dried mud)
4. The same waiter had "white" shirt (more yellow than white) with black, filthy area on the back where he puts shirt in the trousers because it was going out all the time.
5. The same waiter had an apron so dirty that you need a really big effort to find a clean spot.
6. Paint on the columns in the pool area started to crack and fall.
7. Grills by the pools (for water spill) are cracked and there is a possibility to cut yourself.
8. Windows were not washed for god knows how long.
9. Parking on the field in front of hotel (without asphalt or concrete, just a dirt) is 2€/day.
10. "Mini-bar" (just a fridge in the room, without anything inside) is really outdated.
Etc.
Anyway, this was our last visit to hotel Venus / Aphrodite because we are sure that for the same ammount of money we can find better and cleaner accommodation.
