“16th-century building transformed into a classical hotel with charming traditional style. Large rooms, antiques, plenty of atmosphere in central position. Good value.”

Hotel review

There are few more alluring places to sit and relax with a newspaper and coffee than the atrium of the ‘King of Hungary’. The house dates from the 16th century, and the atrium formed when a glass roof was built over the internal courtyard. It is now filled with tables, comfortable chairs, plants, even trees, overlooked by the building’s original windows. The style is traditional throughout – chandeliers, upright, upholstered chairs, period furniture – though decoration and colour schemes vary from one comfortable bedroom to the next.

Hotel König von Ungarn

"The building dates back to 1349, so expect a medieval Viennese vibe: thick wooden doors, arched windows and corridors looking on to a welcoming glass-roofed inner courtyard."

König von Ungarn

"The bar in the airy inner courtyard is a central gathering place for the local movers and shakers."

Hotel König von Ungarn

"Sip coffee in the glass-covered courtyard atrium, steps away from where Mozart composed The Marriage of Figaro, or try a sekt at the bar."
