Where to stay
Stay at the venue itself, or choose a hotel, guesthouse or apartment in the city centre or by the lake in Sóstó. All of them are within twenty minutes of the wedding.
Stay at the venue
£22 per person, per night
We have 25 places at Bihari Lovastanya, the wedding venue, on a first-come, first-served basis. If you'd like one, please let us know as soon as possible.
It's a simple place: old-style country living, out of the city, with no Wi-Fi. If you're staying over the weekend, please bring your own drinking water; at the wedding itself, water is free.
The upside: no taxi home after the lagzi.
Ask in your RSVP

Booking tips
- Book early. Early September is still high season, and the hotels in Sóstó are small: most have fewer than 40 rooms.
- Some hotels don't take bookings for 2027 yet. If yours doesn't, try again in the new year.
- Booking.com has everything in English, card payment and free cancellation. Booking direct is sometimes cheaper, but may mean a 30% deposit by bank transfer.
- Choose breakfast rather than half board: on Saturday you'll be at the wedding dinner.
- Tourist tax is about £1 per person per night (2026), usually paid at the hotel.
- Everyone over 14 needs a passport or ID card to check in.
