River Lodge

No tiene aire acondicionado, sin servicios, sin agua de cortesía..nada

Reception staff lovely. Room basic. No Resturaunt, in the middle of what appeared to be a very industrial area. 17km from the airport..

To be honest, I really liked the hotel. The welcome and room comfort were great. Daily cleaning was also well done. My only recommendation would be to have a car. Of course, you can reach the city center by public transportation, but the number of buses was limited, so you need to pay attention to the schedule. However, if you have a car, don’t hesitate at all—it was a wonderful experience.

Driving up, the property looks completely abandoned. Walking up, looks the same. We arrived early and no one was there, but we found a door unlocked and were at least about to get into "reception". It's a 1 person front desk and you're considered lucky of anyone is actually there when you need them. They must watch a camera from somewhere on the property because they eventually (sometimes) will show up. We picked this hotel due to it being half way to the airport and the main part of the city and because it had beautiful views and a restaurant on property, WORST MISTAKE EVER. This hotel is completely isolated and the restaurant is not open and there are no views to be had. The closest restaurant is a 4 minute walk and after going we found out they only open for events. There is nothing around for miles. The front desk are limited on what they can even help you with. You can't use their food apps as a foreigner and there are no other delivery services. So we spent more on taxis trying to get food, then if we had stayed in the city. The airport fare is exactly the same as if you had stayed in the center city. The hotel is clean, but all you can smell is over powering flowery cleaner and it's EVERY WHERE... you can smell it on sheets, carpets, bathrooms, hallways, towels... it's so strong it's nauseating. The hotel looks like they are trying to revive it, with sagging couches and mattresses, thinning towels, rough sheets and outdated decor. Disappointing.

If you like to stay away from the city center, this place is nice with free car parking. Right along the Danube with hiking and biking trails along the river. The shower turns off automatically for ecofriendliness so keep pushing the faucet.
