The room was comfortable. The bed was clearly new(ish) and I slept better here than I have anywhere else on my trip across Europe. The bathroom was also the nicest I used and actually had a lot of room in the shower. There was good water pressure and it heated up quickly. The TV had excellent shows in English.
The hotel itself is a little far from the train station (33min walk according to Google maps) and a little far from old town. Nevertheless we walked to/from both, but it was a long walk with luggage.
The restaurant was mediocre both for breakfast and dinner. My salad for dinner had some wilted lettuce. The breakfast provided many better options than the Continental breakfast you know from the States. I chose to sleep and and got to the restaurant minutes before breakfast ended, so that's my fault, but the meats and cheeses looked like they had been sitting out all morning. They have a juice machine with some excellent choices for juice and a coffee machine that made a decent latte.
The staff everywhere were excellent. They are so friendly and helpful. From the front desk to the restaurant to the spa I give them all an A+
Probably my favorite thing about this hotel is the pool deck. They had the nicest outdoor lounge chairs I've ever used. And the deck material they have not only is smooth, but somehow stays cool in the bright sun. They have a poolside menu and the staff showed up to ask if we wanted anything. I didn't, but already I'm missing laying out here in this oasis. They offer spa services like massage, but I didn't partake this time.
If you just want a place to truly relax, stay here. If you don't mind a long walk into town or catching cabs, stay here. It's...
Read moreOn first sight the hotel is unprepossessing, it is on a main road and the decor at reception - dark brown wall paper and rather alarming art work - may not be to everyone’s taste but,that to one side, the hotel is a great place to stay.||The rooms are of an adequate size, the furnishings are a little tired but comfortable. It’s worth paying a bit extra for a room at the back away from the traffic noise.||Breakfasts are excellent, especially the little poppy cakes. There are no tea and coffee making facilities in the room but you can order tea and coffee on room service free of charge.||We didn’t use the gym and pools but would have definitely done so had we had time. The outdoor pool in particular looked very inviting. ||The people who work in this hotel are absolutely charming. They could not have been more efficient, pleasant and helpful. Thank you for a very...
Read moreUnfortunately my visit to Novi Sad and to Hotel Prezident was so short, that it may not be valid for a good review. However, as this was my first trip to Serbia, I thought that at least it gives out the first impression... which is usually important. So first impressions:|- hotel is clean and organized|- at least my room was good in size and offered everything that I could expect from a good normal hotel room.|- staff was friendly, even in the middle of the night and early morning when I arrived and left.|- breakfast was ok, nothing special but compared to hotel size I think the offering was good.|- room windows are not too sound proof, so if you are easily disturbed, take some earplugs with you... and was the biggest negative side in here.||So compared to expectations, four stars....
