One night and gone.
One night stay. Helful and friendly staff. Hotel remodeled 2 years ago, I was told. Nice, clean big room and big shower for Europe! Close to all. Breakfast looked plentiful and good but did not have it-was in a rush. Would stay there again for short or long term.

Nice hotel with a political touch
Decent hotel with some tradition and cool interiors although at times creepy with portraits of political leaders in the rooms. Overall a nice stay and great staff, close to the center and railway station.

The rooms are very outdated, bathroom was nice. My friend wasnt so lucky with the bathroom...i guess it depends whether you are lucky or not, pictures are not realistic. Breakfast had a small selection, croissants being as hard as a rock...there are much better hotels for the same value in Belgrade.

Very Poor Experience - mainly standard of service
Very poor experience, staff were not very helpful when trying to solve problems and had to ask numerous times without any real communication or apologies. Hotel is average at best and pictures make it look better than it is - standard rooms are very basic. Bathrooms are best part although have some very odd layouts.

Belgrade has improved a great deal since 2011. A lot of building work and new shopping areas. Less stray dogs. Biggest negative is smoking . Still not caught up with rest of Europe. Needs addressing. Hotel very smoky in dining area affecting reception .Hotel needs refurbishing as looking tired. Can recommend Novac’s restaurant and Vapianos for dining. Staff very helpful.

Nice hotel close to the railway station
Quite a cosy hotel with interesting design metalworks and portraits of political leaders from Abe Lincoln to Arafat in the rooms. Good breakfast, well located next to the railway station and airport buses, short stroll up the hill to the pedestrian shopping street. Rooms are decent though slightly worn out. Proximity to the railway station makes the area not quite a Broadway but bearable.

Disappointing
Very disappointed with the hotel this time. I stayed in this hotel several times over the last few years. This hotel has gone downhill. Started right from arriving to the hotel. I paid for my hotel in full before arriving. Once at the hotel I was told I had to pay again since they couldn't find the payment. After several minutes of back and forth the hotel threatened to call the police unless I paid again. I just couldn't believe what was happening. Finally manager got involved and was able to find the payment. Made it to the room. It was OK. Or so I thought. I really wanted a shower at this point. The shower is missing one glass wall. So now the water from the shower is spilling into the bathroom. I asked to be moved to a different room. They said they would accommodate, but never bothered. I was not able to make outgoing calls. There was some kind of construction in the hotel during the night. Constant drilling. I kept asking the front desk staff about the constant noise. They just ignored it. Said nothing they could do. Never staying at this hotel again. Very disappointed!!

A gem of a hotel
Really nice place. Within walking distance of both main bus station and train station, and only 15 mins or so walk into the main city centre. Rooms are clean and comfortable, with an interesting design theme going through them. Really good breakfast included and helpful staff.

Not nice to English speakers
My wife, son, and I stayed at this hotel for two nights. The only good part about this hotel was the front desk staff. Everything else was awful. The wifi didn't work in our room. When I asked about it they said "it won't work there" - and that was it. No suggestions or offers to help. After our first night our room wasn't cleaned even though we gave them until 5:00pm to do it. The restaurant was the worst though. The staff were rude and didn't offer to help us. We asked for a child's seat and English menus and were told they didn't have any (we saw both later). Breakfast was awful and cold. Overall it was a terrible experience. Do not stay at this hotel!

I feel scammed
Propably a nice hotel, shame I never got to see it as they hadn't taken my (fully paid) reservation from hotels.com and moved the reservation to another hotel nearby owned by them. While the new hotel was likely of same room standard(with non-functional shower features and strange smelling bathroom), I would rate it as a place on a side alley with deco to suit people looking for hospice rather than a place for good wibes. While some might think this cockup would mean possible discount, that was never offered, instead the staff in both hotels advertised how much better the alternative was compared to the one I had originally selected. Made me feel this is not the first time they did this overbooking. Hotel to recommend nearby: Jump inn; modern and absolutely no complaints place. To note, this rant is not directed to the staff in the hotels who I was dealing with, this problem comes from somewhere higher above.

Nice room
We were only there for one night and enjoyed our stay. Due to the proximity to the train station and park adjacent to the hotel, the hotel was inundated with Syrian refugees. The hotel staff handled the unusual activity very well.

Stay in Belgrade
The personel was very helpful to deal with some issues I had in the room, and they immediately fixed that. One thing that I was surpried was that the hotel started charging for parking. I have used this hotel on number of occasions before, but to pay for parking nearly 20% of the price of the room wil make me consider another hotel.

Watch out for Extra fees!
Get there after booking a 2 queen bed room. Get to room. Single queen bed. Ah, no problem, I'll make it work. I get a call, and they say "there are two of you, you only paid for one person". I say what the hell did you think I wanted 2 beds for? That I didn't get. So they say they will "try" and not charge me anything extra even though I got one bed. So I paid Expedia the $110 or whatever for the room up front, no cancellations, and I also get charged like $40 or $50 dollars (after conversion) on check out for some taxes, and 2 local phone calls (did I mention international calls are free, local calls are charged)? lol It was unique, but gave me the creeps. We were on the fourth floor, and there are these giant steel doors that could totally be closed and trap you on your floor for whatever reason (blocking both elevators and stairs), They were open, but it was strange. Call me paranoid, but I hated the idea of being potentially trapped. The room only had a very thing window....

No Double Glazing
Over All terrible hotel to stay at, no doubble glazing, next to the trams that run from early mornings to late nights, not suitable for business at all but I would guess will be perfect for stag nights, discounts in the restaurant, very smoky as in smoking.
