“Cheap, good location, and oh those little things you can only find in Serbia!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2009

We stayed at this hotel/restaurant because it was arranged by a local travel agent that my friend has knew. There was three of us so we stayed in a triple. The hotel is located about a 5 min walk from the main square on a side street that is relatively quiet. Our room was interesting to say the least. It had a big couch with 2 single beds, a third bed was set up in the middle of the room and looked like couch cushions piled up and covered up with a sheet. The bathroom was large, entirely tiled black (floor, walls ceiling) and clean. The room itself was memorable, the single beds were small but telatively comfortable. Sheets were a little worn but clean. The room was bright red and had an oversized chandelier that dwarfed anything else in there (lovely touch for those who like those little oddities that come when travelling off the beaten patch) - best part was that out of the 30 or slots for light bulbs, only 4 were filled. We were there for 2 nights and the room was never made up, not sure if they missed it or if thats just the way it is. When its all said and done, the room was cheap 45 euros per night, it suited our purposes (sleep and nursing our hangovers) and the owner was friendly and accomodating. Most folks go to Novi Sad to have a good time, if that is the case for you, and you are not expecting the Ritz, this place works. FYI, Serbian hotels keep your passports during your stay so don't freak out when that happens. Oh, and the food at the restaurant is excellent...and we used credit cards with no issues.

“strange "Twin Paeks" atmosphere”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2009

The pictures on the hotel's site are not in line with the truth. Actually it is not a hotel but a restaurant with the rooms. My room was medium size but it seamed much smaller because of the sidelong sealing, full of damp smell, very dark due to a single small roof-window. You can hear everything that is going on in the room next to you and all the noise from the street. There are only 12 rooms and most of them are strangely allocated on the loft up the narrow spiral stairs and through the narrow corridors. You have the feeling like being lost in the Twin Paeks series.

The price is not in accordance with the quality, if you can't find anything else for the price.
Don't recommend it.

“Very nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2009

We were in Hotel "Fontana" july 2009 fot one week during the
European Youth Championship for Atletics.
I can only say that we had a great time.
The room was good and the bathroom was big and brand new. Also it was very clean.
No noise during the evenig and night. The discotheek has been closed because of it.

The manager (Mr Bond) was very kind and also his staff.
Also the reatsaurant has a very good kitchen.
When we visit Novi Sad the next time we surely stay at the "Fontana" Hotel.
Tip: Book direct to the hotel and not with an booking office. It saves you money.

“it's nice but it's bad”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2008

The hotel is tipical, the restaurant is nice, inside the hotel there is a beautiful fontana, it's possible to eat outside, the personal are likeable, educated and simpatic, the room are like 4 stars, so are ok.
Onle one big minous, there is one disco 1 meter near hotel, so it's impossible to sleep, all night frome 23 to 4 you can listen in your room the bass of music that broke your ears, and you can't sleep.
the situation on the night is to have a drums who song down your bed.
I can recomend thi hotel only at the people who is deaf.
the hotel is nice, when you go out you are in beautiful stret, I hope that that disco will closed, and hotel can became a very tipical beautiful and confortable hotel of novi sad.

“A bit dire for the price”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2007

I booked this accommodation after reading a good review (not on TripAdvisor) and looking at the property through the tourism website. Unfortunatley, the pictures did not reveal the truth. I can only speak for the double (twin) room that we were allocated which was dark, damp and noisy.

The room was very large but it only had a one tiny window so was very dark. Also, it was very mouldy on account of the lack of ventilation and the fact that the old-style bathroom had no windows or ventilation. The damp smell was quite strong and the shower kept running ice cold and then red hot.

Even with the window shut (which made the damp smell over powering), we could still here the thudding of the music in the bar below through until about 3am.

The only up-shot of the stay was that a) the linen was clean if a little faded, b) the staff were friendly if a bit disorganised and c) the breakfast was quite good. It was also in close proximity to the main attractions.

Whilst I could have settled for some faults for 66 euro for the double, I think that the standard of accommodation was well below that which one would expect for the price.

  • Liked — Only stay here if you can't find anything else for the price (e.g. if pressed at the EXIT festival)
  • Disliked — Quality of room and noise
