A great spa stay - with real value for money

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 31 Aug 2015
I recently stayed in the Izvor for 8 nights. This was the second time I stayed in the hotel. Overall, we had an excellent time. The pools are great (you swim in what is essentially the famous mineral water of Serbia known as Knjaz Milos), the access to the neighbouring aqua park (as part of the room price) was a real plus for the kids and the rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The service was very good - for example, I went for a bike ride out of town and when trouble developed with the hotel bike, a staff member drove 5 km out of town to take back the old one and deliver a new one so I could continue with my ride. The food was quite good without being spectacular. However, I would note that compared to other similar hotels in Serbia that I have stayed at (Kopaonik, Lukovska Banja) it was streets ahead. My only issue with the hotel is with the quality of the massages - this needs attention particularly given that this is one of the key draw cards of a hotel like this. For example, when I stayed in the hotel back in 1997, I was given a message that was really challenging but I have never forgotten it - in fact, I can still feel it. Some of that old mojo needs to return to this department. In essence I would simply say that Izvor is outstanding value for money. This hotel offers a really high quality with maybe not the frills of a hotel in, say, Switzerland. But let me be frank, I was able to fly to Belgrade on Easyjet and enjoy an excellent 8 nights in Izvor for what would have been 2 nights in a comparable hotel in Switzerland. I would really recommend more people consider this excellent fly-spa option (I would also note that I was able to negotiate a taxi fare of Euro 50 one way to and from the airport).

            When we arrived, the first impression was nice, comfort, service, room etc. Hotel's pools were great (all in the hotel, outdoor and indoor).
            During the weekend stay, we had a chance to notice some major gaps:
            - for lunch we had to wait more than 15 minutes for the waiter to show up and take the order.
            - to get ordered meal we waited more than 30 min (some dishes were served cold, not suppose to be),
            - When we made the reservation we told that 2 kids we will bring and for one of them we need a baby crib. No one informed us that there are no available baby cribs. Housekeeping lady made up the sofa for a baby and that is how we found out about the crib situation.
            - in the hotel kids had the bathrobe, none of mine didn't get any, just we adults.
            - One of the first things that were annoying was the door lock, we couldn't open the door of our room (didn't want to accept the key card) and in the shower water couldn't go down the drain.
            There were only a few things that I can give high rate:
            - food
            - housekeeping
            - room service
            - the staff - they are really nice.

            Excellent hotel with very good personnel and service, it is not cheap, but it is worthy every cent spent……waterpark is not too crowded and gem of everything was thermal pools, especially inside ones……great escape for weekend……I wish I can come there in winter time

            Room tip: those not facing directly to the pool might be better option

            The hotel was once beautiful :(
            The room has a broken mirror.
            Broken phone in the room too and no communication with reception or room service.
            The bathroom had a broken door of the shower cabin. Therefore, when showering water leaking on the floor.
            Shame! We were three times before at this hotel and everything was perfect. Missing better maintenance!!!
            The staff is friendly.
            The pool is clean with enough chairs and umbrellas.

            With temperatures over 100 degrees we were sweltering in Belgrade so we found Hotel Izvor's Water Park for our 3 kids 10, 6, and 2. The entrance price was approximately 20 dollars for our entire family for the day and we found all of the slides, children's pool, etc. to be the perfect entertainment. IN addition, the food was fresh and tasty. The biggest selling point to me was that it was clean. I could see the bottom of the pools and my children were also happy with the staff who they interacted with. Parking is free.

            One of the best hotels we visited. Excellent food-great choice, brilliant service and clean rooms. Very good and friendly staff. Nothing was too much to ask for. Pool area was great, plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas. If not enough,there was Aqua park to visit - free of charge! Pricey hotel but definitely worth the visit! I am sure we will be back there again!
