Putnik Inn Belgrade Hotel

Breakfast included cold, half-eaten fried calamari left over from the previous evening's supper. The bathroom was just as bad: there was a raiser left behind by a previous guest, and the drain clogged when I tried to shower. Hair came up into the disgusting water, and the white towel I stepped onto turned black because the floor was so dirty.

Breakfast was delicious, and the room was clean and quiet. Still, there were no disposable accessories, the shower-head holder didn’t work, and our room wasn’t cleaned even though we put the clean-up sign on the door. Parking is 10 EUR per day. The fitness area is very large and has lots of excellent machines, but the swimming pool and sauna were under renovation. The hotel is near the bus station, convenient for reaching old Belgrad, with plenty of supermarkets nearby.

The bathroom drain was almost blocked, so water pooled there. Worse, the room was meant to be non-smoking but smelled of smoke, and I had to sleep with that disgusting odor all night. I called reception and was told to open the window. How is someone who’s sick supposed to sleep with the window open? Avoid this hotel.

The only things I liked were the paid parking in their lot and the location near the airport, away from the main city. The rooms and hotel feel dated, the bed was uncomfortable, and it was very hot in the room because the AC was so poor. I didn’t have a comfortable stay. Nearby hotels cost a bit more, but offer a much better stay, so I recommend going elsewhere.
