Hotel Urban

Nice, cost-effective, modern hotel with very helpful staff, but let down by a lack of noise insulation between rooms. (Hotel rooms do not need TVs!) They also host noisy events around the pool (I presume this is more common on Saturdays in the summer).

The pool area itself is nice enough, but using it is extra for guests (10 Lev; 15 at the weekend).

The rooms have a space-saving theme with three single beds that take up most of the floor space. Only stay here with close family and friends because the toilet/shower is basically a glass box in the corner that does the bare minimum to maintain your privacy.

One quirk in the rooms is that they have motion sensors that activate concealed lights, so everyone in the room is alerted when you need to get up in the middle of the night (there is a fuse box in the room, so you can disable this - it is one of the 5A fuses).

There is a no smoking policy for the rooms, but the two rooms I was put in smelled of smoke, which is a bit disconcerting as the hotel reserves the right to heavily fine you if they find evidence of smoking.

Why two rooms? The hotel asked us to move on our last full day because there was a "technical problem with the room" (after some questions, we learned that water was apparently leaking into the room below): fair enough, but there was no concession offered for our inconvenience.

There was one shared iron and an ironing board available for the floor, which was useful.

There is adequate parking for guests and one electric charging point for cars. There also happens to be a tasty BBQ place next door.
