With half-hourly buses from Fo tA©r in Keszthely, there's no need to linger in HA©vA­z, but, should you decide to stay, there's plenty of accommodation , except in May and September, when the town is at its fullest. Private rooms (3000-5000Ft) can be booked through HA©vA­z Tourist at RA?kA?czi utca 2 (May-Sept Mon-Fri 8.30am-5.30pm, Sat 9am-1pm; Oct-April Mon-Fri 8.30am-4.30pm; tel 83/341-348) and Zalatour at no. 8 (June-Sept Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, Sat & Sun 8am-2pm; Oct-May Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, Sat 9am-1pm; tel 83/341-048). Otherwise, Kossuth and ZrA­nyi utcas are both teeming with Zimmer frei signs. At the southern end of the lake, the four-star Castrum GyA?gycamping rents plots for tents and trailers at high rates (tel 83/343-198; 3000-5000Ft).

The cheapest hotels , in a resort not exactly bursting with them, are the small and simple Piroska PanziA? at Kossuth utca 10 (tel 83/342-698; 5000-7000Ft) and the Hotel Alba (tel 83/343-123, fax 343-402, www.hotels.hu/hotel_alba ; 7000-10,000Ft), a modest but decent place with a flowery, terraced garden used regularly for barbecues. Two very appealing, and very central, hotels lie just next door to each other on SzA©chenyi utca: at no. 23 is the Pannon (tel 83/340-482, fax 540-111, www.hotels.hu/pannon_heviz ; 7000-10,000Ft), a colourful hotel with inviting rooms, all with shower; while the NapfA©ny , at no. 21 (tel & fax 83/340-642, www.napfenyhotelheviz.hu ; 7000-10,000Ft), has more routine rooms and also rents out bikes. The Park Hotel , at Petofi utca 26 (tel 83/341-193; 14,000-18,000Ft), is the classiest, although not the most expensive, place in town - an elegant thirty-room hotel housed in two villas linked by a walkway; facilities include sauna, jacuzzi and fitness centre.

HA©vA­z's restaurants are very tourist-orientated. The two best places are somewhat inconveniently located fifteen minutes' walk southwest of the centre on TavirA?zsa utca; although there's little to choose between the TavirA?zsa at no. 4 and the Magyar CsA?rda at no. 1, the former is a touch more polished and has vegetarian dishes - both are open daily till 10pm. Another establishment with a good reputation is the RA?zsakert on RA?kA?czi utca in the centre of town.
