Breakfast
However, some guests noted areas for improvement. Complaints included a lack of sweet pastries, butter and sufficient vegetarian options. The quality of coffee was another frequent issue with many finding it weak or tasteless with some even noting that regular coffee had to be paid for separately. The breakfast service did not always start early enough for those with early schedules and the organization of the meal could sometimes be better.
While the breakfast served its purpose and allowed guests to start their day ready to explore, its simplicity and occasional lack of variety were highlighted as areas that needed attention. Suggestions for improvement included adding lactose-free milk, better quality coffee and a broader selection of hot dishes. Despite these criticisms, most guests found the breakfast satisfactory and some even described it as excellent.
Dinner
Rooms
However, there are several areas highlighted for improvement. Many guests have mentioned the need for renovations and newer furniture, as some rooms appear outdated and worn out. The lack of air conditioning is a common complaint, especially since rooms can get very hot during the day. Some rooms have small bathrooms in need of better maintenance and certain fixtures like showerheads and locks have been reported as faulty.
A minor enhancement that could improve guests' experience would be the addition of tea and coffee facilities in the rooms. Despite these shortcomings, the rooms offer good value for money and serve as a decent base for travelers on their way to the Balkans.
