Hotel Palatinus- Pecs, Hungary - VirtualTourist.com

I used to work in the hospitality industry, so this is my professional opinion, but I did have friends staying in this hotel.

The three star, 100 room hotel is located on the main pedestrian street, Király utca of downtown Pécs, in an impressive art deco building. It is worth walking in, looking around in the richly decorated lobby and, if possible, in the elegant ball room on the first floor, where Béla Bartók once performed. But, that is all about it. Great location, great architecture, not so great rooms.

Most of the rooms are small, you feel you cannot breath, and, as there is no air-conditioning, they can get really hot in the summer. The food is mediocre. Parking is expensive. The room price is high compared to the value. If you really want to stay here, take a suite, they are much more comfortable, and are equipped with airconditioner.

If you insist on staying with the Danubius Hotel chain, then their other hotel, Hotel Patria is a better bet. That does not have such a great location, but it is still in downtown, only ten minutes easy walk from Palatinus accross Széchenyi tér and on a very nice street (Ferencesek utcája). It is in a not too pretty modern building. A completely different atmosphere, but much more comfortable rooms. The food is a bit better, too, and parking is much easier and cheaper. (Maybe included in the room price?)

If you insist on the good location of Palatinus, I recommend Aranyhajó, a small private hotel in an old building right next to it. Bigger rooms, attentive staff, lower prices.

Palatinus is located in a richly decorated art deco building. The atmosphere of the lobby and the ballroom is great.
