Smelyne

Breakfast was included when I stayed, with a full continental spread. The restaurant has enough variety for a couple of days, and there are other restaurants nearby. There’s also a bar at the hotel. My room was exceptionally spacious, clean, and in good condition. It had free WiFi, a desk with a wall socket, and a seating area that could work for a small meeting of up to six people. The balcony view of Pannevezys was interesting because of the city planning. The staff were helpful and made an effort, though understanding English could take some patience.

The lack of an elevator made hauling heavy luggage difficult. My room’s AC blew straight onto the bed, but without it the room got very warm, and the window faced only the main street. Still, it’s clean, affordable accommodation in a lovely little hotel in an equally lovely small city. The people were friendly and breakfast was good. A good place to stay otherwise.

For the price, this is a below average hotel. The room was small, breakfast very basic, and there’s no elevator. Everything, inside and out, feels cheap and dated, and the street nearby is noisy. I can’t see how it rates itself four stars.

The room was warm and cozy, with toiletries, a kettle, and coffee and tea. Lots of tasty options at the buffet breakfast, and the staff were friendly. It’s a cute hotel near the center. We’d recommend it and hope to come back!
