Pavilion Hotel & Social Club Belgrade — Hotel in City of Belgrade

Review of the stay at Pavillion Social Club Hotel, Belgrade, Serbia

The stay at the Pavillion Social Club Hotel left mixed impressions. The reception staff were polite, which was one of the few positives. The hotel is conveniently located, a 15-minute walk from the main park, and there are many cafes and restaurants in the area, making it an ideal location for exploring the city.

However, there were several downsides to note. The rooms had poor soundproofing, especially annoying was that the balcony was shared with the neighboring room, reducing the sense of privacy and comfort. The room itself had an uncomfortable elongated shape, and the noise from both the corridor and the street was extremely annoying. Shower problems, with constant blockages causing water to flood not only the bathroom but also the carpet in the room, created not only inconvenience but also questions about the hygiene of the space.

Breakfast at the hotel also left much to be desired. Instead of the promised buffet, a limited menu was offered, the dishes from which were far from tasty. After the first time, we decided not to visit the hotel breakfast at all. The main lobby was constantly smoky, despite Serbia allowing smoking, the smell in the lobby was so strong that it created a feeling of discomfort. Loud music in the same space made it impossible to use it during the day for relaxation or work.

Room cleaning also became a disappointment. Despite hanging a sign requesting not to disturb, one of the maids regularly barged into the room without knocking, which is an unacceptable violation of privacy. In addition to this, the presence of carpets everywhere in the hotel contributed to retaining the smell of tobacco, making the atmosphere even more stifling.

The positives, such as food delivery through the service, where orders were left at the reception, and the comfortable bed, although noticeable, could not fully outweigh the significant drawbacks. Morning noise from crows and other animals, as well as noise from cleaners in the corridor early in the morning, made comfortable rest impossible.

In conclusion, while the hotel may boast a central location and polite staff, shortcomings in space organization, service quality, and overall comfort seriously overshadowed the overall impression of the stay. I recommend paying attention to improving sound insulation, cleaning quality, and...

This “hotel and social club” looks quite nice and lively online, but it is actually quite void of anything “social”. IRL. Apparently once a happening party spot, it is now a forgetful hotel with a curtain pulled across the bar area off the lobby. The overall vibe of the place is tired, eerily quiet, and overall just lacking of life altogether. Here was my stay: Upon checkin I was told the elevator was broken but it would be fixed soon (after three days it never was). Then I was given a room with two twin beds. When asked for a room with one bed (as I had booked), they first asked to charge me double. I explained and showed why this wasn’t correct and they eventually gave me a different room. Once I carried my bags up the stairs and got into the room, they immediately called and said this was the incorrect room and was already somebody else’s room. Ok back down the stairs. No one offered to help with bags given the elevator was out of service. Maybe third times the charm? Back up the stairs. Settled into my third room - and it was fine for the most part. Bed was comfy enough but the AC was clanking and kept me up all night. Stains on the headboard. Insufficient bolt chains on doors. No breakfast service in the morning. Things like that. I was excited to see Malin + Goetz products in the bathroom but - as a M+G stan who uses their products daily at home - what was in those bottles was not Malin+Goetz I can tell you that. That and all the bottles were opened and half used. Not ok in a hotel if you ask me. But perhaps the oddest thing of all was that the person at the front desk seemed to clock (literally) my comings and goings throughout my stay. Eyes as soon as you come/go, a glance at the clock, and then jotting something down. Thought I was nuts, but noticed it a few times. Just odd feeling. Like I said, the hotel ‘talks’ a big game online, but doesn’t live up to it at all IRL. The neighborhood is cute, but I would pass on...

Seamless Harmony

That moment when you step in the Pavilion Hotel & Social Club watch the harmony, breathe out all your anxiety and do not miss to take a glass of sparkling wine because the new wine menu looks so inviting.

Architecture has the ability to somehow funnel it, frame it and draw it into the mind. This place has a great marriage between rooms, bar&restaurant and backyard garden. The backyard has beautiful nature textures and the lounge area is full of details with curated furnitures and creative books. Restaurant area is well thout out. It looks modest and decked out at the same time. Every single hotel room in this house has it's own character that makes the accommodation more fun. Looking back on my Pavilion Hotel visits these last few years i realized the more i get, a clear perspective of how hotel staff affect your accomodation. Thank you to " Mina "  from reception for her effort on issues, she handle it professionally and with heavenly smile. Also general manager Milan deal with it with skill and grace i really appreciated that.

One thing i want to point out about Pavilion Hotel & Social Club. Keep the social club soul friday and saturday nights like in the old days because that makes this house unique and takes steps forward than other hotels in Belgrade.

Pavilion Hotel & Social Club is the the seamless harmony between sleek place and artistic expression in Belgrade. True elegance is found in a great harmony. Pavilion is what's all...
