Hôtel Istria by Magna Arbor

Crazy strong cleaning smell in the room like toxins. Wouldn’t go away even after opening window. Did not look like photos. You might be on the ground floor, a couple steps from the check in desk. There are hundreds of other hotels at the same price point that are much much nicer.

The room was completely different from the photo. The room was small. It was relatively clean, in some places there was dust. Heating was only with the help of air conditioning. The floor was very cold and there were not even disposable slippers in the room. Considering that the entrance to the room was from the street, cold air was coming from the door. All the furniture was old, the minibar was empty. I was glad that the bed was comfortable and the blanket was warm. Be prepared that upon arrival they will take additional money from you without explaining why. Supposedly they will return it back later, but they never returned the money!!! It has been 3 days already. I do not recommend it, although the location of the hotel is very good.

My stay was very bad especially because of the noise in the room. If you stay in a room on the ground floor, be aware that the noise starts at 6 AM, as the staff starts preparing breakfast and is followed by the noise of the guests until around 10 am. So both day I woke up around 6 and I could not sleep anymore.
To make worse there is an employee who worked the whole time talking very loudly into her headphones. She was not at all friendly, when I said I would like to change rooms because of the noise. When I asked to the reception. they said the hotel was full. So if I asked if could cancel the reservation of the last day, and they said no and that I should buy earplugs.
On the last day the employee came before check-out time and practically kicked me out of the room saying that she needed to clean it. It was a terrible experience and I would never go back.
