Agria Retur Vendégház

Eger


You couldn't receive a more inviting welcome than the one you'll get at this guesthouse near the minaret. Walking up three flights of stairs, you enter a cheery, communal, fully equipped kitchen/eating area that's central to four mansard rooms. Out the back is a huge garden with tables and a barbecue at your disposal. Just read the fan mail on the wall.

We love the new folk art adorning the walls, painted by owner Éva.
