Hotels near SPES magacin in Belgrade

In the city center of Old Belgrade, close to the pedestrian street, it is very convenient for shopping and eating. It takes ten minutes to walk to the Kalemegdan Park Zoo, and there are Chinese restaurants nearby.

The hotel is close to every point in the city center. Not very big but comfy. In my room, the bathroom had some supplies out of service (e.g. a bathtub hanger), but it is OK. The breakfast was nice and offered some choice.

The location was excellent, very close to some of the best restaurants in the city. The front desk worker was very polite and efficient, and explained everything I needed to know about the property. They gave us an electronic key card for entering the building, so everything was easy in terms of access and check out. The room was large and spacious and the bathroom was clean as well! Overall an excellent value for anyone looking to stay in the heart of Belgrade!

The washroom is not in the room but a private one as I can use, the hotel host is friendly. I changed my time of stay and they agreed. Good one.

On the Belgrade bypass so very handy for onward travel. The windows maybe need some adjustment becasue although they are double glazed we were still bothered by traffic noise at the front of the hotel. Our friends were in a room at the back of the hotel and they had a few bugs in the room from the trees behind. We were on motorcycles and when we arrived one of the staff immediately let us into a storage area where the bikes were locked away for the night. The room was very stylish and felt quite upmarket but the price was very reasonable. Had a very good meal in the large restaurant. Smoking is still common and although it is clear smoking should be in the rear part of the restaurant, there was a family smoking in the main part of the restaurant. Didn't bother us but something to be aware of.

The hotel is located near the airport. You can also take a taxi to the city center in 20 minutes. The room is big enough, the bed is comfortable. There is a kettle. A good option for your money. Downstairs there is a vending machine with drinks and snacks. There are some Chinese cafes nearby, but I still went into the city to cafes and shops.

Very nice stay

Unfortunatelly it was a very bad experience. First of all, the first floor rooms like the one we were given were opposite the reception and everyone who enters the hotel or goes through the elevator is like walking through your room. Even worse right below the hotel there is a tavern that sometimes two and three bands play at the same time in the outdoor area and they are loud all day and all night. In addition, as can be seen from the photo, our bed broke due to poor construction and we had to change rooms. Finally, my card was charged with 500E while the booking showed 475E with the excuse of currency conversion. Which is a very large amount. But even if that was the case they didn't even give me the option to pay with cash. The breakfast was the same every day and completely indifferent. Moreover, it is located outside the hotel!! Two minutes walk!! Καταρχήν τα δωμάτια του πρώτου ορόφου σαν αυτό που μασ δόθηκε ήταν απέναντι από το ρεσεψιον και κάθε ένας που μπαίνει στο ξενοδοχείο ή περναει για το ασανσέρ είναι σαν να περναει μεσα απο το δωματιο σου. Ακόμη χειρότερο ακριβώς κάτω από το ξενοδοχείο υπάρχει ταβέρνα που παίζουν ταυτόχρονα δυο μερικές φορές και τρεις ορχήστρες στον εξωτερικό χώρο και ακούγονται δυνατά όλη μέρα και όλη τη νύχτα. Επιπλέον όπως φάινεται και από τη φωτογραφία το κρεβάτι μας έσπασε λόγω κακής κατασκευής και αναγκαστήκαμε να αλλάξουμε δωμάτιο. Τέλος χρεώθηκε η κάρτα μου με 500Ε ενώ στην booking έγραφε 475Ε με τη δικαιολογία της μετατροπής του νομίσματος. Που είναι είναι πολύ μεγάλο ποσό. Αλλα ακόμη και αν ίσχυε αυτό δεν μου έδωσαν καν την επιλογή να πληρώσω με μετρητά. Το πρωινό ήταν καθε μέρα το ίδιο και εντελώς αδιάφορο και σε χώρο εκτός του ξενοδοχείου.

Stayed here for 4 nights in the mixed dorm. Check in was pretty straightforward and all the staff needed was my passport. I was shown the kitchen, then to my room on the 1st floor. The floor has a common area, two bathrooms with toilets, plus one outside sink. I counted about 20 beds in 3 dorms, one each for boys and girls only, and one for mixed. The dorm is very clean, as are the beds. The sheets and bedding smelled nice and fresh. Each bed has a private light, an electrical socket, two shelves and a privacy curtain. Mattresses were comfortable. Even though the windows were kept open and typical of spring weather, the duvets felt very warm. Each bed also comes with a designated locker and is large enough to fit even the largest backpacks. The locker comes with a key, as well as a passcard for entry into the floor and reception area. The dorm also has several different modes of lighting and at night everyone is really respectful, keeping the lights down and quiet. The kitchen has cooking stoves, a microwave, filtered water dispenser, is well stocked with cooking utensils, plates, cutlery and cups. There’s about 5 chairs arranged in the breakfast table style. The staff are zealous in keeping the kitchen clean and clearing away washed dishes. This hostel has the cleanest and best stocked kitchen I’ve ever used. It’s cleaner and better stocked than some houses I’ve been in. The hostel is located in a residential area. Location wise, this hostel is off the tourist trail and public transport is the only realistic way for getting to/from the sights. The hostel is popular with Russians, some of whom are long term stayers. So the place doesn’t have the same hostel feel as others, but that’s not a major problem. Overall, I had an excellent stay. Everything and everywhere in the hostel is organised, clean and tidy. The lack of bathrooms could be difficult at times. Two bathrooms for my floor wasn’t a lot even though the hostel wasn’t full. There can be a bit of a queue, especially in the morning. In the hostel’s defence, there is a private bathroom on the same floor and the staff allow the guests to use it when possible.

I had a brief stopover with just enough time to watch Crvena Zvezda on Sunday night. In this case the hotel was perfect as it was somewhere between the bus station, which I needed to return to the next morning, and the stadium. However, if you want to be nearer the centre, there are much more adequate options. The stay was fine, although when I arrived there was nobody on the desk, the man when he arrived spent a long long time on the phone (I'm in no rush, and rarely am I in the Balkans, and he didn't seem to have any recognition of my reservation (done with Booking). The room was spacious and clean and reminded me of yesteryear somewhat.
