Dobogoko Jurtaszallas Hotel

Review by hotel critic

Nestled within 27 km of the enchanting ski slopes of Dobogókő and a short distance from Budapest, Dobogókő Jurtaszállás offers a unique experience blending tradition with modern comforts. As a historian with a fascination for early Medieval nomadic Hungarian culture, staying in a yurt was an absolute delight, evoking a sense of connection to the past.The array of activities, from hiking to skiing and cycling, catered to my love for exploring the outdoors, while the option for a ski school and equipment hire promised a seamless experience for winter sports enthusiasts. The insulated floor of the tent provided a cozy retreat after a day of adventuring, complemented by the convenience of the bathroom in the nearby chalet.The on-site restaurant, though slow in service, offered a delightful mix of fixed menu and à la carte dishes, with the house speciality, a hot ginger drink. The warm hospitality of the staff added a personal touch to the stay, enhancing the overall charm of the Eco Lodge.With the nearest airport being Budapest Liszt Ferenc Airport, the accessibility of Dobogókő Jurtaszállás makes it a convenient yet tranquil escape from the bustling city life. The welcoming atmosphere, picturesque views over the Danube towards Esztergom, and the opportunity to create outdoor fires for cozy evenings under the stars all contributed to a memorable experience.Whether you're a history buff, nature enthusiast, or simply seeking a unique getaway, Dobogókő Jurtaszállás offers a blend of tradition and modernity that is sure to captivate your senses. As I plan my return to potentially enjoy skiing in winter, this hidden gem in the Hungarian landscape has certainly left a lasting impression, beckoning me to immerse myself further in its rich historical tapestry.
