I stayed at the Hotel Zlatnik for 3 days to visit my spouse, who was on a three-week business trip. We were staying in a room at the end of the corridor facing the street, which by UK standards was very spacious. The bathroom passed the hair wash test due to good water pressure, and a shower that was actually spacious enough to have a wash in with your elbows away from your body. We did not hear any noise from inside the building, just some residential street noise.
Breakfast was good and mostly consisted of local specialities, though in comparison to the breakfast buffets on offer at the big chain 4/5 star hotels the choice appeared somewhat limited. The quality of restaurant/room service food was a bit hit and miss - my husband had some excellent fish. On another occasion though he ordered pork fillet, and it came as sandwich slices rolled with cheese, then breaded, deep-fried, and served with frozen vegetables and frozen fries. On the upside, we ordered a very decent bottle of Serbian red wine for about £15 which was expertly served by the waiter in our room. Room service seems to be very prompt, whereas the service in the restaurant can be a bit slow. Restaurant and room service are closed on Sundays.
The hotel offers free wireless internet.
It is possible to get to the town center by bus (no. 83); the bus stop is a five minute walk away and busses pass by at about ten minute intervals. Bus tickets cost RSD42 and the ride takes about 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.
I would definitely rate it as a four- rather than five-star hotel. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel to anyone looking for good quality accommodation and an alternative to a big, anonymous chain hotel.
