Pros
+
All-you-can-eat buffet with upscale Hungarian dishes is a great value for about 20,900 HUF (~$60), perfect for sampling local cuisine in one night
+
Live music, raffle, and a lively New Year’s vibe make it feel like a classic European NYE party without Budapest-level crowds
+
Discounted rooms for out-of-towners mean you can celebrate late without stressing about the drive back
+
Location just off the M1 at the 22 km marker is easy to reach by car from Budapest or the airport
+
Menu has options beyond pork and game (chicken, veggie fritters, risotto), so mixed groups and families can find something
+
Páty gives a small-town, authentic feel versus the touristy city center—fun if you want a local scene
+
Price transparency (service charge noted, drinks extra) helps budget-conscious travelers plan - Family-friendliness is moderate: late start (7 PM arrival, 8 PM dinner) and adult-leaning menu/ambience may not suit young kids
Cons
–
Not well-known internationally; you’ll likely discover it via local listings rather than big travel guides
–
Páty isn’t a destination most foreign visitors recognize, so expectations for sightseeing nearby should be low
–
Booking by phone only and likely limited English on-site can be tricky without basic Hungarian or a local helper
