Read moreFirst off - the location for this B&B (this is not a hotel) is excellent. It’s practically on the Old Square so very convenient. The staff on the whole were good but the gentleman on the last day when taking our bags was just rude. Overall, not the professionalism you expect in a hotel. It gets 2*s for location and for them keeping things clean.
Now the things that don’t work so well:
*Dated - the room looked nothing like the photos. It was a lot more dated from what our expectations were. Expensive for what you get - you could find a much nicer hotel around 1km out and travel in which many do. It’s not great value and certainly not a 4 *Single not double - we had asked for a double bed, and ended up with two singles pushed together practically with even two sets of duvets. *No AC - it’s not too bad when it’s cold but can be uncomfortable when warm. *Breakfast - it’s minimal and two hot items and again, not great value at all for what you are paying for. *Hot Water - this was temperamental and we had it some days and had to wait on others. *Noisy - we had a room overlooking the main courtyard and it was great at night being away from the street but super noisy in the mornings as you’re right over breakfast and at 8am they push these huge trolleys of rubbish waking everyone up.
This hotel is listed as U Hotel Zlateho Jelena but also known as Golden Deer if you’re figuring out reviews.
We wouldn’t personally stay here or recommend this again but we didn’t use the facilities much as we were out mostly each day so it was ok as a base but a lot could...
