Wine Rock Hotel

Beautiful, home-cooked breakfast. Lady in charge was so friendly, but not a word of English - she couldn't do enough for us - even gave us a different room with a balcony overlooking the river.

Small, pokey en-suite

The location was close to the old town.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, right next to a beautiful park and directly across from the Old Town, with wonderful views of the city. It was an excellent base for exploring the area. The staff were consistently warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Every interaction was pleasant, and they were always willing to help with any request, which made the stay feel very welcoming. My room was comfortable, spacious, and had a beautiful view. I should note, however, that room quality appears to vary quite a bit. Some members of our group were assigned rooms on the lower floors with little natural light and limited ventilation. Fortunately, that was not the case for me - I was very happy with my room and thoroughly enjoyed staying in it.

A couple of pieces of feedback from my stay. First, the breakfasts were genuinely poor and far below what I would expect from a hotel at this price point. In fact, they were the weakest part of the entire experience. Given the country's reputation for food quality and standards, I found this particularly surprising. I would strongly encourage you to revisit both the quality and variety of the breakfast offering. Second, I stayed in one of the premium rooms, and unfortunately there was a persistent unpleasant odor coming from both the toilet and the kitchen sink. The smell would gradually build up in the room over time. It felt less like an isolated issue and more like there may be an underlying problem with the plumbing or drainage system. I would recommend having this investigated, as it noticeably impacted the overall stay experience.
