Belgrade Inn Garni Hotel in Belgrade

I stayed at the Belgrade Inn Garni for a few nights, and while there were some good aspects, there were also a few downsides. The Good: The location is great—just a 2-minute walk from Republic Square, making it really easy to explore Belgrade on foot. The reception staff were excellent, super helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was also good, with a wide selection of both Serbian and international options, including fresh croissants, eggs, meats, and cheeses. The Not-So-Good: The downsides. First, the room was unbearably hot—it was 28°C when we arrived, and despite adjusting the air conditioning, it didn’t seem to cool down properly. Sleeping was uncomfortable because of it. Then there was the cigarette smoke issue. While the rooms are officially non-smoking, the reception area reeked of smoke—stepping into it felt like going back in time to when smoking indoors was the norm. Worse still, the towels in our room smelled of smoke, which was really unpleasant. Lastly, the toilet paper situation was unacceptable. Instead of proper rolls, there was a cheap public restroom-style dispenser with thin, scratchy paper—not what you’d expect from a hotel. If location and breakfast are your priorities, this hotel delivers. But if you’re sensitive to smoke, prefer a comfortably cooled room, or expect decent toilet paper, you might want to look elsewhere.
