“Nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This was my third time to Ohrid but it has been 30 years since I had an overnight stay there. Hotel Granit was built in socialist times, but has been renovated to 4 stars standard. It is a cosy hotel despite its size with nicely renovated rooms and common areas. View on the lake is beautiful and pay attention to get a room with a view and not the other, hill side. Hotel itself is some 6 km away from center of Ohrid, so one should have a car or order a taxi (inexpensive). Just in front of the hotel there is a beach but I was told even during the summer water is not very warm (there are springs feeding the lake with cold fresh water). A small road leads towards St. Naum and Albanian border and runs just behind the hotel but due to the general quietness of the area you can hear cards passing by if you have hill side room, or if your room is on the corner of the building. Have no major worry, traffic is sporadic. Breakfast was included in the room rate (I paid bit less than 50 EUR for night) and includes eggs, saussages, cheese, pies.

Room Tip: Lake view somewhere in the middle of the hotel, top floor. Gives better view and should protect you...

“Beautiful lake side retreat.”

Granit Hotel is an older yet elegant hotel situated right on Ohrid Lake. The hotel is large and well equipped. The best feature is the outdoor terrace where cocktails are served to guests while watching the sunset. The breakfast was wonderful and the room was clean and comfortable. Hint - make sure you request a room with a view of the lake. Ohrid is a beautiful resort town and we really looked around to see what other hotels were available for our next visit but this was the best one we could find and were very happy that we had chosen it.

“Excellent service from TUI rep”

We spent 7 days in Hotel Granit and were happy with the service received by all staff. Their English was very good (in comparison to that mentioned in other reviews).
Great atmosphere & great food.
On the 3rd day we needed to travel to the emergency medical clinic in Ohird and the TUI rep went beyond the call of duty and arranged transport (which also included translation assistance with the doctor, and finding an open pharmacy on a Sunday). The driver was incredibly helpful and refused to take any more money than the metred fare.
On return, Ana the rep, immediately checked on our status (and had already done so via our driver).
A big thumbs up to Hotel Granit and TUI (particularly Ana - Many many thanks (5 stars))

“Amazing location!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here for a friend's wedding, and were stunned by the amazing views of Lake Ohrid from our balcony (we were in room 101). The room itself was a nice size, very comfy bed and good air conditioning. The bathroom was ok, a few bulbs not working and the shower wasn't sealed properly so leaked, but apparently this is fairly common so we didn't think it was much of a problem. Breakfast was generous, the food in the restaurant was nice and the bar is very reasonable. The hotel staff were very helpful with booking taxis to Ohrid town centre (don't pay more than 250 denar). Some friends of ours had children with them and the hotel provided a microwave and other equipment for them. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a view of the lake, not the car park!
