Loved our stay in the Grand Poet hotel. The big rooms were spotless The staff were all very helpful and pleasant, we had a couple of wee problems on the first morning but they were very quickly fixed, and ready for us on our return from a days exploring. The hotel itself faces one of the many parks, and it had the canal running through it. It was also just a stone’s throw from the old town. Breakfast was lovely & restocked often. The bar seemed quiet but again great range of drinks & cocktails to choose from. My only negative- no privacy screens on the windows. Our room overlooked the breakfast courtyard. And directly opposite another bedroom window. So you had to keep the heavy blackout curtains closed with the lights on Or if you opened the curtains for daylight you faced being met with another guest not always dressed !!!!

We had an absolutely tremendous stay. The property was extremely well-located, right on the edge of Old Town but outside the hustle and bustle of the tourist area. Situated between two beautiful parks, and right on main walking (and bus, too, though we didn't utilize them) routes to the Art Nouveau district, the central market, and of course Old Town. Just about every major attraction we visited was within 15 minutes by foot. And the hotel itself was lovely -- our room (a superior double) was spacious, the staff was incredibly helpful, and the breakfast buffet was the nicest we've encountered, pretty much ever. Not extravagant or showy, but everything you'd want in a beautiful space, with indoor and outdoor seating. Can't recommend this hotel any more strongly.
