On 8 May 2025, students in the KGNM_TRTA128 Gastronomic Management class at Széchenyi István University in Győr had the opportunity to visit the Hotel Famulus, the teaching hotel of Széchenyi István University.
The visit proved to be particularly engaging due to the hotel’s role as a site for practical training for numerous students. Observing the active involvement of students completing their compulsory work placements in the day-to-day operations of the hotel was both informative and motivating for those currently enrolled in the course. This exposure enabled students to gain valuable, hands-on experience that complements their academic studies.
Throughout the visit, students were given a comprehensive tour of various areas within the hotel, including guest rooms, conference and event facilities, and the on-site restaurant. Hotel personnel provided detailed information regarding the establishment’s capacity, services offered, and the range of events it accommodates. Furthermore, the staff elaborated on the hotel’s managerial and operational structure, offering students deeper insights into the practical functioning of a tourism and hospitality enterprise affiliated with a university.
Overall, it was an educational and interesting experience that greatly contributed to their professional development.
