The Hotel Izvor and its facilities are second to none! We spent only one night there but certainly intend to go back.
By Serbian standards it is expensive but for travellers from the UK it is good value. We paid around £100 for two people in a double room with dinner and breakfast and access at no additional cost to the saunas, pools and water park. We have stayed in many hotels in Serbia and are happy to make allowances for features that are not up to the standards that one would expect in Western Europe. With the Hotel Izvor there was no need to make any such allowances. It was the equal of most hotels we have stayed in in any country and better than many.
The bedroom was stylish, clean and comfortable and the bathroom was fine. Staff were helpful and pleasant.
We were fortunate that our stay coincided with some beautiful weather and so we could make the most of the outdoor pool and its swim-up bar but the indoor pools were enjoyable too. All pools had natural mineral water heated to 30, 36 or 38 degrees and were not chemically treated.
The saunas and steam rooms were all excellent. Entry to the adjoining Water Park with a variety of water slides was free to hotel guests.
Dinner and breakfast were both buffet style and the food was excellent, well presented and the displays were regularly replenished. It was largely traditional Serbian fare and would be enough to convince any sceptics of the quality of Serbian cuisine.
Just opposite the hotel is a mature and well maintained park with an extensive collection of marble sculptures. This was ideal for a pleasant evening stroll.
