Hu Bar, Belgrade

Advantages: Location, cost, friendliness
Disadvantages: Basic rooms, very occasional noise

...This hotel has been fantastic on 4 separate stays in Belgrade. It is friendly, accomodating if a bit basic, and extremely conveniently located. The hotel staff generally speak english, some better than others, but are always willing to help. This is very useful in a place with very little as far as developed tourism. The rooms are basic but clean, and daily housekeeping is prompt and helpful. Probably the best thing about Royal is the location. 5 minutes from Kalmegdan park, 2 minutes from the center of nightlife, and about 10 from all other attractions: museums, library, shopping, and churches. Other things worth noting are that they do currency exchange in the hotel (not uncommon, but good to know), have a bar, breakfast is served with the price of the room, and there is a car rental agency about 5 doors down the hill from them...

Advantages: centrally located, good A/C system
Disadvantages: ageing, horrible and tasteless decoration, rude staff, very small rooms/bathrooms

...it's not an easy task to describe the HOTEL PRAG. the buiding in itself is a very nice example of 1930's modernism, but what's inside seems to be stuck and deeply asleep in the mid 1970's. it definitely seems that nobody did anything at all in the hotel after that period. 70's furniture in dark brown often accompanied by awfully tasteless pig-pink details and 70's wall decoration. no further refurbishment made thereafter. small beds, especially short (strangely enough, considering the size of the tall serbs!). micro-bathrooms with awful orange colored WC. very small singles and ridiculously small twins (not even a place to store 2 suitcases!). the only good thing anyway is the hotel location, halfway, uphill between train and bus station and city center; also to be appreciated the perfectly working A/C system, in a hot belgrade june...

Advantages: one of the prettiest streets
Disadvantages: always so busy

...Knez Mihajlo Street is a very heart of Belgrade City. Belgrade, the capital of Serbia (and Montenegro), is one of a rare misfortuned cities in the world, bombed by NATO 1999. And now, after 7 years and dead of Miloshevic's regime (partly responsible for a civil war in ex Yugoslavia), is now one of the most visited cities in E. Europe. Just for that reason, in case you don't know, Belgrade is one of the oldest cities in Europe, first settled in the3rd century BC by Celts, before becoming Roman settlement called Singidunum.
