Realy good choice, easy to find, walking distance to the centrum of Pecs. Staff is helpful, breakfast super. Two choices of parking, inside and outside, both not for a long cars :) Nice outside place for drink coffee, smoke or just sit and have a break.
A lovely hotel in a quiet neighborhood that is still only a 15-minute walk away from Pecs' main square; it's about 3 minutes to Barbakan after which it is named and about 7 minutes to the cathedral. The hotel is clean, air-conditioned, offers excellent breakfast. The staff are very helpful. I was leaving early, before breakfast time, and they gave me sandwiches, juice, and fruit to go. The hotel itself was very quiet, too, and sleep quality was great. All in all, a highly enjoyable experience, I would stay there again.
We stayed for 2 nights in Hotel Barbakan. The staff was friendly from the first moment and the food at the breakfast was delicious. The room itself was clean and the bed was comfortable.
They close the main door after 10 PM for security reasons, but you only have to ring and they open it almost instantly.
Two negative things I could mention: the AC had some strange odour when turned on (we didn't use it much, because we didn't need to) and the view from our room was facing at a construction. These were minor things since we didn't spend too much time inside, mostly we used our room for sleeping.
All in all, it's a great hotel for its price. Recommended!
This hotel has 9 rooms. 2 of them are on the top floor. The elevator stops at the floor just below. This could be an issue for some. The hotel was full on the night we arrived. Their 2 lots have 1 space allotted to each room. We arrived late and the one space left was meant for a small car so ours didn’t fit. After trouble shooting with the front desk, we decided to double park which worked out in the end. There are only 2 spots which will work adequately for a van. After the initial problem, everything else was good. The front desk staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was clean. The A/C worked fine, but was noisy. The bathroom was clean with a soap dispenser in the shower. The WiFi speed was good. A free breakfast was included. The food was ok. We had to wait to eat because there weren’t enough tables available for all of the guests to eat at the same time. We liked the location as it was a 10 to 15 minute walk to the historical sites. I was happy staying at this hotel and would choose this location again.
Strongly recommended! Inexpensive relative to chain hotels, but not lacking in quality.
Location is within a 5 minute walk of the Cathedral, 10 minutes to the main square. Free parking, which is hard to find so close to downtown. Fully renovated rooms with air conditioning and well appointed bathrooms (good water pressure in showers too).
Breakfast buffet is top notch, ranging from yoghurt and muesli to scrambled or sunny side eggs, stewed peppers, full selection of coldcuts, rolls, jams etc.
Tips:
- Not a lot of English spoken, but staff very friendly and helpful
- Try to get a room on the east side; away from traffic and hot afternoon sun
- Lower floors are cooler in summer
- Parking is across the street; go to front desk to have them lift the bar
- Beds are European singles, comfortable but narrow for larger guests; push two together for a double bed
- Cash payment only, no credit cards at present
- Small fridge in room is very handy
