B&B HOTEL Maribor Orel — Hotel in Maribor

I'd give 3.5 stars if I could, but I decided to drop down to 3 stars due to the woman working the desk in the morning. She gets 1 star. The fellows working the afternoon check in were friendly, kind, helpful, fluent in English and wonderful - they get 5 stars. Average it out = 3 stars.||I booked on another site. Hotel claims to be 800 meters from train station. I arrived by train, turned on maps on my iPhone and got 1.1 km. I walked the Camino de Santiago last year, at least 20 km daily. And I walk close to that pretty much every day, so not a big deal for me. Others might be annoyed or decide that's a dealbreaker.||The first thing I notice when I walk into my room is the big mural of Lady Macbeth. My favorite Shakespeare play is Macbeth, but I have to wonder at the wisdom of the hotel management having this subject on the bedroom wall. A murderess who suffered from guilt and depression that leads her to sleep disturbances! Doesn't sound like it will induce a relaxing, good night's sleep. More on that in a moment.||The room is clean and appears to be outfitted from IKEA. I found the beds to be higher off the ground than a normal bed and narrow.||Hotel is located in the walking area of Old Town. Lots of cafes and shopping nearby. ||Back to a Lady Macbeth induced sleep. I rolled out of bed during the night! I was bruised on one arm, and some minor pain in my leg and head that eventually abated. I did not sleep well.||I sleep with earplugs, so I was unaware if the hotel is noisy or quiet throughout the night. In the morning when I took my earplugs out I could hear a crying baby and it went on for quite a long time. I left my room around 8am to get breakfast and there was a man with 3 young children. Two twin babies crawling on the hallway and a toddler, all screaming as he was running baby races down the hall. I reported this to the woman at reception and she didn't care. I said people are on vacation and sleeping in and this jerk is letting his babies crawl and run down the hall screaming and crying. That's inconsiderate. It was just unlucky for all guests that day with this jerk, but clearly any noise complaints will not be taken seriously or acted on at this hotel. When I returned to my room the baby races were over but the "do not disturb" sign that had been on my doorknob was gone. The jerk probably gave it to his kids for a prize.||The hotel has a great breakfast with juices, coffee, tea, fruits, veggies, yogurt, cereal, breads, pastries, hard boiled eggs, and meats.||Would I stay here again? Never! But that's mostly due to the attitude of the woman working the morning desk and one can't expect a good night's sleep here.||"Sleep no more!" Quoting Shakespeare's...

I am a visitor from Ukraine, coming from border by car and was driving for very long and decided to have a quick sleep in this hotel. I wanted to pay for my stay of course. I was coming late to Maribor, so at ~22:00 I reserved a room using booking.com. Then I found out that the front desk doesn't work after 23:00, while I should have come after midnight. So I decided to call the front desk to ask if they can accommodate me anyways. No one responded to my call, which I did couple times. Then I cancelled reservation with booking asking to refund the money. The time span between my reservation and cancellation was around 15 minutes so the hotel didn't lose anything because of that, taking into account that they didn't even answer the call... I went to another hotel which responded to my call. But in the morning I found out that they charged me full amount for stay and even replied to me that they have the policy for no cancellation whatsoever so this is now their money (for nothing).

I must say that this is completely not fair and I hope the money you have "stolen" from me would make your life little...

The hotel is perfect location if you want to visit the center of the beautiful city of Maribor. The hotel is nothing fancy but everything is fresh and have all the things you need. (Just a iron maybe missing)

The Breakfast was good with a lot of dishes to choose from. The bacon could be little more grilled and the boiled eggs was to long boiled just small things that could be better.

A sad thing was it was something like a small stone in the fried vegetables that made me loose a small piece of my tooth but this I hope is just a coincidence and not anything that happens frecently. But who knows? Maybe check over routine there. I was close to take down the grade for this but it maybe is just a one time...
