Great War Island

Room was clean, staff very attentive. Breakfast was more 'Serbian' than 'continental'.

Central location with parking. Great breakfast

I greatly enjoyed my stay at this hotel, which is located on a small, funky, street, in the Vracar neighborhood of Belgrade. My room was clean, pleasant, and very quiet, and there was ample hot water. I stayed for five days in mid-March, which is springtime in Belgrade, and did not use air conditioning. The staff was cordial and helpful, really delightful. Breakfast was not included in the cost of my room and is very expensive, but the buffet, which I chose on two occasions, included varied and abundant fare and began with freshly squeezed orange juice brought to my table. The hotel is located just below the massive Saint Sava Church, new but modeled after Hagia Sophia; it is also only a few blocks away from the Nicola Tesla Museum (though the museum is slated to move within a few years to the historic Milan Vapa paper mill in a renovation led by Zaha Hadid Architects). Local eateries of interest include a Luff gelato parlor, with excellent ice cream, and the splendid Cevabdzinica Savcic on a street flanking the Hilton Hotel. (Cevapi are small sausages customarily served in pockets of warm flatbread with raw onions, a fluffy cheese, and a red pepper condiment. But if you're vegetarian, you can fill the flatbread with shopska salad). Delicious and inexpensive. Vracar is somewhat apart from the historic (Ottoman-controlled) center of Belgrade, but all buses are free and easy to use (take guidance from the hotel staff before using taxis).
