Hotel has good location, it is not far from the center and very close ( no more than 50 m) to the tram stop. Stuff of the hotel is also very kind. I would recommend it mainly to young, undemending people with low budget. Rooms has only basic equipment, but if you are looking only for a plece to stay... More

Do not stay here!!! We very nearly booked this Hotel but after reading the reviews we changed our mind. We had to pass this hotel to get to ours and it looks horrible. Tatty, dirty windows and it looks like the hotel needs a total makeover, in fact i thought it was a derelict building and was so glad we... More

First: When we arrived I told the taxidriver to drive to Hotel Start. He looked at me and said; I think you mean Hotel Stary? And when I arrived, I knew why he asked. The frontside of the hotel looked like an old building that hasnt been renovated in several years. The reseption looked okey but very old and in... More

Hotel Start is a very basic "hotel". Beds were like planks of wood nailed together with a mattress slung on top. Bed linen was not changed for the whole of our stay and on inspecting the underneath sheet there were hairs from previous occupants! No facilities for tea/coffee making provided in rooms. No hairdryer - unless you ask for one... More

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and got 1 quiet night. There were groups of young kids staying and getting drunk in their rooms. We had to get the security two nights to close them down at 2.30 by threatening to call the police. The breakfast was very greasy eggs and cold sausages but the rest bread, meats,... More
