Hotels near Pľuvatko, Kosice

I had to cancel my travel plans for this year's 2023 Kosice Peace Marathon so I wasn't actually a guest at the Kongress Roca Hotel. I had booked my hotel reservation via a WISE wire transfer. It was my first time doing a wire transfer and it took a couple of tries to get the correct Swift/IBAN number. Gabriela made the wire transfer booking & refund process seamless. I received the refund promptly in my bank account within two days. I hope to visit Kosice and the Kongress Roca Hotel in the future.

When visiting for a short period, the best solution is to book a place in the heart of the city center. Boutique Hotel Bristol is all you need for a short trip, don't expect luxury, but do expect extremely friendly and helpful staff, both at the reception and serving breakfast, very clean room and comfortable beds. You get bath robes in the rooms, but no slippers, and I do wish I did, but it wasn't an actual issue. We did not have problems with the noise, although the location of the hotel is right in the middle of the pedestrian area of the city center. I would add that for a longer trip the breakfast options might get a little boring, because you can't get that much variety in a boutique hotel, but this wasn't a problem for our trip. Other amenities: pleasant and boutique-like looking lounge area at the reception with nice plants and comfortable chairs, inner courtyard for parking (which is great for staying in the city center) and I must add that we all loved the less-waste type of cosmetics in the bathroom in big containers, not for one purpose use, but still sanitary (I must say that I will get from l'occitane the verbena hand soap, because the smell and feel of it was lovely). Important to know is that you have an elevator up to the 2nd floor, and then go by foot to the 3rd in case your room is located there. We did not get the chance to use the Roman SPA, but next time we sure will. When going back to Kosice, for sure this will be the place to stay for us!

My partner and I recently stayed at The Ambassador Hotel in Košice, and our experience left us with mixed feelings. Despite its promising location within Košice, the hotel overall did not live up to our expectations, especially considering the price point. Upon arrival, the check-in process was unexpectedly lengthy. With only one receptionist available who was preoccupied with a demanding couple ahead of us, we were left waiting for an uncomfortably long time. The procedure itself felt unnecessarily tedious, requiring details that seemed excessive for a simple check-in. The hotel's condition significantly detracted from our stay. It appeared tired and in need of maintenance, with visible wear and tear throughout the premises. Our room was particularly disappointing; from a malfunctioning bathroom door handle, water damage around the sink, to a low-pressure shower and a lack of proper heating. The absence of a blackout blind, a clunky TV menu, and a carpet that was both faded and worn further contributed to our room's lackluster ambiance. Additionally, the tea and coffee amenities were unsatisfactorily tucked away in the wardrobe, and the presence of a cheap plastic trolley in the bathroom was not what we expected from a hotel that claims luxury status. Breakfast was another letdown, with a noticeable lack of labeling on the food items, including allergen information. The options were limited for those who do not eat pork or are allergic to eggs. Although soya milk was available upon request, it was not readily accessible. While the hotel's location in Košice is undeniably convenient, other aspects such as the wellness spa left much to be desired. The spa required a private booking at an additional cost of 25 euros and a two-hour preparation time, which seemed unreasonable for what is marketed as a luxury amenity. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. However, the overall state of the hotel, combined with the disappointing breakfast and the restrictive access to the wellness spa, means we are unlikely to return. For a hotel that positions itself within the luxury market, The Ambassador Hotel falls short in delivering the quality and service one would expect for the price.
