Borovnik

I had a great experience at Hotel Borovnik! The location is incredibly convenient — right off the bridge and close to everything: local taxis, ATMs, shops, restaurants, and even an ice cream shop next door. What truly stood out was the staff. They were warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. I arrived around noon, well before the usual 3–4 PM check-in time, and they welcomed me without hesitation. No hassle, no extra fees. When I mentioned I was waiting for my boyfriend, they noticed our room was a single and quickly upgraded us to a double — and found a new room for us in just 15 minutes. That kind of service is rare and genuinely appreciated. The property itself is secure and well-maintained. At night, a code is required to enter, which made us feel safe. We stayed on the first floor (second level), and our room was spacious by Eastern European standards. The bed was large and comfortable, even though it was two twin beds pushed together — which is common in the region. The on-site amenities were great. The pool was clean, spacious, and a nice bonus during our stay. Our main issue was the air conditioner, which wasn’t working in our room. While we typically don’t rely on A/C, it can get very hot in this area, especially at night. We had to keep the windows wide open, which made the early mornings a bit challenging — especially at 6 AM, when the town bell rings loudly and for quite a while. It was hard to sleep through, and definitely woke us up every morning. Luckily, we spent most of our days out and about, so it didn’t impact us too much. But I would definitely book a room with working air conditioning if visiting during warmer months. Outside of that, everything else was excellent. I especially appreciated the helpful, proactive staff. I’d absolutely recommend Hotel Borovnik and would stay again — just with a functioning A/C unit next time!

Came here for breakfast and the food was abysmal. Eggs Benedict - 2 x slices of processed bread (not even toasted or buttered), a very thin slice of processed ham and undercooked poached eggs. My friend had the omelette which was dry and rubbery with unbuttered dry bread and no condiments. The iced coffee was basically hot milk with ice cubes thrown in. To top it all off the waiter was extremely rude so we didn’t even dare to complain about the food.

Had some drinks on the sea front, 7€ for 0.25l orange juice, 3.60€ for 0.25l sparkling water. And then they only accept cash payment… Ridiculous combination, makes them look too cheap to get a credit terminal with the prices they charge.
