A szállodai programunk rövid: egy kis városnézés, majd pihenés a strandon.

Szálloda means hotel.
The ending -i turns a noun into an adjective, something like “hotel‑(related)” or “of the hotel”.

• szálloda = hotel
• szállodai program = hotel program / program at the hotel

So szállodai literally means “hotel-type / hotel-related”, functioning as an adjective before programunk.

Programunk breaks down like this:

• program = program / schedule / plan
• -unk = our (1st person plural possessive ending)

So:

• programom = my program
• programunk = our program
• programotok = your (pl.) program
• programjuk = their program

In the sentence, programunk means “our program” (here: our hotel program).

Hungarian usually uses a definite article (a / az) in front of a possessed noun:

• a programunk = our program (literally “the our-program”)
• a házunk = our house
• az autónk = our car

So A szállodai programunk is simply the normal way to say “our hotel program”.

English avoids “the our program”, but Hungarian keeps the article. It’s not extra or emphatic; it’s just standard grammar.

In Hungarian, the verb van (to be) is usually omitted in the present tense, third person, when it connects a subject and a simple adjective or noun:

• A program rövid. = The program is short.
• Ez érdekes. = This is interesting.
• Ő orvos. = He/She is a doctor.

So A szállodai programunk rövid literally is “Our hotel program short”, but it means “Our hotel program is short.”

The colon then introduces details of in what way it’s short: egy kis városnézés, majd pihenés a strandon.

• rövid = short in time or length

  • rövid film = short film
  • rövid beszélgetés = short conversation
  • rövid program = program that doesn’t last long

• kicsi / kis = small in size/amount

  • kis szoba = small room
  • kis táska = small bag

So rövid program emphasizes that the program does not take much time, which fits the idea that it’s just a bit of sightseeing and then relaxing.

Literally:

• egy = one / a
• kis = small

But together, egy kis often means “a little / a bit of / some” in a friendly, soft way:

• egy kis víz = a little water
• egy kis segítség = a bit of help
• egy kis városnézés = a bit of sightseeing / a little sightseeing

So it doesn’t sound like a tiny physical size. It means a small amount or not too much sightseeing.

Városnézés is a noun meaning “sightseeing (in a town/city)”.

It is formed from:

• város = town / city
• nézés = looking / watching (from nézni = to look/watch)

So városnézés is literally “city-looking”, i.e. going around looking at the city sights = sightseeing.

You could also express the idea with a verb phrase like:

• várost nézünk = we do sightseeing / we look around the town

But egy kis városnézés is a very natural, compact way to say “a bit of sightseeing”.

In egy kis városnézés, majd pihenés a strandon, majd means “then / afterwards”.

Rough differences:

• majd = then, after that (neutral, very common in lists)

  • Elmegyünk a városba, majd vacsorázunk.
    We go to the city, then we have dinner.
• aztán = also then / and then, often a bit more “story-like” or conversational
• később = later (more about time, not a simple sequence connector)

Here, majd smoothly connects two parts of the plan:
a little sightseeing, then (after that) relaxing on the beach.

• pihenni = to rest / to relax
• pihenés = rest, relaxation (the noun form)

Hungarian often forms a noun from a verb with -ás / -és:

• olvasni (to read) → olvasás (reading)
• tanulni (to learn) → tanulás (learning)
• pihenni (to rest) → pihenés (rest, relaxation)

So pihenés a strandon literally is “resting/relaxation on the beach”, but grammatically pihenés is a noun here.

A strandon = on the beach / at the beach.

Breakdown:

• strand = beach, or sometimes a beach-like swimming complex
• -on = suffix meaning “on / at” (location)
• a = the (definite article)

So:

• strand = beach
• strandon = on/at the beach
• a strandon = on the beach / at the beach

More examples with this suffix:

• asztal → asztalon = on the table
• téren (from tér) = in the square
• kertben (from kert) = in the garden

The exact surface form (-on / -en / -ön / -n) depends on vowel harmony and consonants, but the meaning is “on/at” something.

Yes, Rövid a szállodai programunk is also correct.

Both mean “Our hotel program is short.”, but there is a nuance:

• A szállodai programunk rövid.
  Neutral statement; “our hotel program” is the topic (what we’re talking about).

• Rövid a szállodai programunk.
  Slightly more emphasis on rövid (“short”), like:
  “It’s short, our hotel program is.” (focusing on the shortness)

In many everyday contexts, they’re practically interchangeable, but the first is more neutral-topic-first; the second puts the adjective in a more prominent position.

Instead of és, the sentence uses majd (“then / afterwards”):

• egy kis városnézés, majd pihenés a strandon

This suggests sequence rather than just a simple list:

• …sightseeing, then relaxing on the beach.

You could say:

• egy kis városnézés, és pihenés a strandon

but that only lists two activities (“sightseeing and relaxing at the beach”) without clearly saying one comes after the other. Majd is better here because it highlights the order: first this, then that.

Szállodai programunk is intentionally a bit flexible, like English “our hotel program”:

• It can mean the program offered by our hotel (e.g. an organized hotel activity schedule).
• Or the program we have while we are at/with the hotel (our schedule connected to the hotel stay).

Because szállodai is just an adjective (hotel-related) and programunk is our program, you can safely understand it as:

• “our hotel(-related) program”, i.e. our program connected with the hotel.

Context (earlier sentences, situation) would usually make it clear whether it’s the hotel’s official schedule or just your own plan while staying there.
