Hotel Putnik

Hotels.com reviews are usually bang on, so I don’t know how Hotel Putnik got a 9. I knew when I walked into this hotel that we were in trouble. The lobby was filthy, dilapidated and painfully dated. Our first room was filthy, had disintegrating walls, no light switch or plug plates and the fridge didn't work. I asked to me moved as we needed a working fridge. The second room was just as bad. The walls were scuffed, filthy and had a huge greasy stain on it like someone had thrown their dinner on the wall. The bed sheets were ripped. There was a sagging spot on the floor. The showerhead was broken, the shower leaked terribly and there was mildew all over the shower. Our stay included breakfast at the filthy restaurant, but it was so greasy, salty and bad that we ate out the second morning. The location is great and the staff try their best, but this place is a squalid dump. I don't know how they haven't been condemned. It's the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. Check the Google reviews for a better sense of how bad the hotel is.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. There were a few small maintenance issues, but overall, the stay was,very pleasant.

Room was old, bathroom sink stank, no room service

All great

Hotel is located just steps away from Novi Sad's pedestrianized zone, Republic Square, and Danube Park. It's about a 20 minute walk across the Danube to the fortress on the river bluff. Wonderful vistas of the Danube and Novi Sad. Hotel Putnik has a nice breakfast buffet, good wifi, ample hot water in the shower. There's limited onsite parking but I was able to secure one of the spots available.
