Waldinger Hotel — Hotel in Grad Osijek

My wife and I stayed 2 nights, arriving by rental car at 2PM and parking in front of this city center hotel. A friendly receptionist copied our passports, provided room keys and a town center map, then escorted us through the portico to our ground floor 8 apartment complex with secure parking.||Our spacious wood floored #10 had 2 comfortable twins placed together, desk, couch, large closet and large wall TV(BBC/Bloomberg/CNN/SKY and others in English), outfitted kitchen with 2 electric burners, hot pot with coffee/tea(no refrigerator) and fully outfitted bathroom with small shower. The 7 AM breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant was outstanding with a choice of 4 menus with breads and coffee followed by a varied fruit plate.||We had issues with the TV which were attended to by the receptionist followed up with a technician the next morning.||The location is convenient for walking; 150 m north to McDonald’s, 150 m further to the cathedral, 200 m further to the Maxi Konzum, 100 m more to the Petar Pan dessert restaurant, and 150 m further to the long flat Drava River promenade.||This classic hotel’s quiet rear annex was an excellent choice to walk to the sights of this Tentative UNESCO town center and good value at $171...

Do NOT stay here. These people are criminals and prey on foreigners.

I found that there was a problem with my window shutter, and initially, when I told them, they were very kind, offered me tape, and to fix it the next day. When they couldn't fix it in time, they gladly changed my room.

Then I was ambushed later that day with accusations that I broke the very cheap parchment on purpose, and that I had to pay 200-250 Euros to repair it, which it could probably not cost more than 10-15 Euros.
