Hotel Lebed

Hygiëne= zwak: asbak terras niet leeggemaakt, kleine schapjes naast lavabo vol stof, half gevuld flesje shampoo van vorige gast staat nog aan lavabo Gevraagd om kamer te kuisen: gebeurt niet en hebben zelfs moeten aandringen op nieuwe handdoeken. Ontbijt=vreselijk: koffie flauw,weinig smaak, kwaliteit is zoek; fruitsap is limonade Bedden: vering kan je voelen

Well appointed rooms with updated bathrooms. Splendid buffet breakfast. excellent housekeeping! Attentive staff. Quiet area yet close to folk dancing, nightlife great food, and boat rides. I would stay here again! Air conditioned! comfortable bed

VERSCHRIKKELIJK ! Te erg om 200 tekens aan te verspillen eigenlijk ! Vreselijke aftandse kamers met veel onderhoudsgebrek en slecht ontbijt ! Waardig gesloten ! Andere kamer gevraagd en nog slechter uitgekomen, de derde kamer dan maar.... bleef verschrikkelijk = hotel "le bad" !

Niet de beste ervaring, we hebben een vuile en stinkende kamer gekregen en die geweigerd. We kregen dan een suite op 5de verdiep, helaas was daar geen warm water om te douchen. Dit probleem was blijkbaar reeds gekend bij de receptie maar men pakte het niet aan.

To say this is a 4 star hotel is widely misleading. Hotel Lebed is hardly a 3 star hotel, perhaps more appropriately rated between 2-3 star. For ease of reading, I will separate my review into pros and cons. Pros: The room was spacious, with ample luggage storage. The room was furnished with a writing desk with chair, a small table with stool, a bench, a bed side cabinet, and a large cabinet with two compartments for luggage storage. There were also hangers. The hotel has a bar which offers an excellent exchange rate on beverages (1 Euro = 61) should you want to enjoy a nice drink on the premises. The hotel is essentially lakeside, only 1 block in from the lake front, providing easy access. The hotel location is decent in that regard, though, it is not fully central (the hotel is about a 1 km walk to the centre of Ohrid, and a 2 km walk to the Old Town and hilltop Fortress). Breakfast buffet is offered with the room, and it starts at 7:30 am. There was sufficient selection, including hard boiled eggs, fried eggs, pre-prepared omelettes, hot sausages, sliced cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, olives, a small selection of cheeses and cold cut meats, cereals, whole fruits for takeaway (oranges and nectarines), cold cereals, cold milk, plain yogurt and fruit yogurt, a good selection of pastries, cakes, muffins and breads with jams and butter. There was a canister of coffee (which was terrible, hot water with colour, essentially) and hot water for tea. There were also some juices available. Wifi was secured, password-protected and wifi signal was strong in the room and throughout the hotel. There was a flatscreen tv with limited channels, but some channels available in English including news and 24 kitchen. My remote control did not work, but I could change the channel on the top of the television set. Ample towels were provided (2 hand towels and 2 bath towels), but no floor mat curiously. So I used one of the hand towels as a floor mat. There was clean glassware in the room, should you choose to indulge and purchase a bottle of wine from one of the nearby supermarkets. Many mirrors in the room, and sufficient lighting in the room. Blackout curtains for keeping the room dark at night. Staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Cons: The air conditioning was non existent. I had the air conditioning set to 5 degrees Celsius and it was blowing hot air all evening long. The room was very warm both with and without the air conditioning. It felt more like a fan blowing warm air. Other guests complained of a similar situation. The hotel in general but especially the rooms are very dated. The carpet is dirty, stained and old, there were signs of water damage in the walls, ants crawling everywhere on the carpet, the room was furnished with old wooden furniture, and the bed frame sunk. Cleanliness left much room be desired. I found little black hairs all over the bedding, in the shower, and all over the sink. It was an "ick" factor for me knowing

Despite of being a simple hotel it's well located walking distance from the main attractions in the city. The rooms are spacious with beautiful views from the private balcony. Staff members are friendly and trying their best to please the guests, very good service. The downside is the bathroom with crowded space and missing fixes everywhere, the most disappointing was lacking the shower glass doors making it a messy after a bath.
