Pensiunea LOTUS Smardan

Everything is new and super clean. There is a common kitchen and washing machine. The garden is nice. There is a new sauna in the garden. Modern place. The shop is downstairs. Plus for air conditioning and a comfortable bed. Nice things provided in bathroom like staff to wash your shoes. Generally good standard place but too expensive minding the ugly area and lack of personnel.

In general the village where it is located is ugly and boring. There is nothing to do, only lots of trash close to Danube, no nice natural places. There are no personnel all the time, you can contact the owner by phone but he is slow to answer. There is a jacuzzi in the photos but the owner should add info that it can be used only in winter. There is a coffee machine in the kitchen but it needs special capsules that are not provided by the owner. If they buy a coffee machine it's annoying that they cannot provide capsules. The name of the place on the building is a bit different than on booking, I think there is 'tourustica' added. The owner should provide the same name in booking and building photos as it's quite difficult to find.

New sauna, awesome barbeque (host provided wood, coal, everything). Rooms were spotless with modern, smart design. The kitchen had everything you needed. Big parking space, some grass to play on for activities. Overall, it was one of the best locations we ever stayed at.

The only downside is that it's hard to find on google maps/waze, however, the host offers to pick you up (you follow his car with your car) when you enter the village.
