Our third visit here and still impressed! Especially now with renovations of some rooms which are now rated as 5 or 4 star rooms ( renovated rooms are rated 5 star ). These rooms are really nice, big and modern - contemporary - looking! We were on 3rd floor and had a nice view from the balcony of surrounding hills and outskirts of Maribor city. Bed and bed linen were wonderful, we had a wonderful sleep. Room service was great, room was serviced by the time we came back from breakfast. Buffet breakfast was also great, good selection and good quality with great service. Dinners, which were included in our rate, were not as good. If there are 10 people or less at the hotel, you can choose meal from A-la-carte menu. If enough guests, it would be a buffet style. When we had A-la-carte, the food was nice, fresh and hot, but it was different story with buffets. If you didn't come at 7pm, when the dinner starts, hot food would be only warm or sometimes even cold already. We thought A-la-carte food was better quality then buffet style food. We expected better quality of food for a 5 star hotel, especially when we had buffet dinner. Buffet dinner costs 19 Euros per person if it's not included in your room rate. Needs improvement! Pool looked nice from the distance, we didn't use it so we can't judge. We heard from other guests that massage and fitness center was really nice and that they enjoyed it. Position of the hotel is excellent, at the bottom of Pohorje hill and next to the forest so you can enjoy lovely walks around the area. There are few restaurants close by and it's worth to mention La Cantina Pizzerija only a minute walk from the hotel. It's a lovely restaurant, known by wood fired pizzas of all sorts (very yummy), pasta dishes, cold meat platters and so on. Very tasty food and inexpensive, very good value for money. Parking is complimentary ( in the garage ) for hotel guests and concierge is always ready to assist and help. Staff in general is very friendly, helpful and willing to accommodate your expectations.
