Hotel Palatinus
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Hotel Palatinus is an easy yes for most visitors who want to stay in Sopron's historic old town without paying top prices. Drivers with large cars should check the parking first, and anyone set on the Fertőrákos mithraeum will need transport.

Couples, families and short-break visitors who want to walk to the old town sights and restaurants are the natural fit. Family rooms are listed, pets are accepted and there is a 24-hour front desk.
If you drive a wide car, read the parking section of this review carefully. Guests describe the entrance to the on-site spaces as very narrow. Travellers who want spa facilities or a pool will find none listed here.
Location and getting around
The address is Új utca 23., in the historic old town according to guests. The location score is 9.6 out of 10, the strongest single figure in the data.
Guests say the main attractions and restaurants are close by. The only sight with a measured distance in our data is the Fertőrákos mithraeum, 8.1 km away, about 101 minutes on foot. That is far, so you will need public transport, a taxi or a car. Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
Hotel Palatinus holds 8.9 out of 10 from 1,112 reviews, joint third of 7 eligible properties in our Sopron sample. Over a thousand reviews gives that score real weight.
Location is the top theme: central, in the old town, near the main sights and places to eat. Breakfast is the second. Guests describe an abundant buffet with a wide choice of hot and cold food.
Parking is the recurring complaint. The on-site spaces are secure, guests say, but the entrance is very narrow and tight.
Price against our other two Sopron picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put Hotel Palatinus at €88.60 per night, 42% below the sample median of €152.12. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
The gap to our Budget pick is small. Pannonia Hotel, also 4-star, was €85.34 per night with an 8.3 score. For about €3 more per night, Hotel Palatinus scores higher. Our Luxury pick, Sopron Monastery Hotel, is a 4-star at €152.12 per night with a 9.3 score.
For that price you get free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, family rooms and a 24-hour front desk, as listed by the property. A continental and buffet breakfast is offered, but inclusion in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible properties in Sopron. Best Value means the best balance of guest score, number of reviews and reference price, not simply the cheapest. An 8.9 score from more than 1,100 reviews, at well under the median price, made Hotel Palatinus the strongest candidate for that slot.
Before you book
