Hotel Pelikan

ארוחת בוקר טובה, המלצרית מקסימה.

מרקו המליץ על שיט בנהר. התווכח על המחיר שהיה מאוד לא הוגן. הובטח משהו אחד שיט לראות את השקיעה, כולל כניסה למקומות מיוחדים והסברים בפועל קיבלנו שיט שיצא מאוד מאוחר (יצא באיחור של כשלושת רבעי שעה) את השקיעה כבר לא ראינו בנהר והשיט היה סתמי. יש הצעות הרבה יותר טובות ברחוב, אל תתפשרו על בדיקתם (פישר קינג או המקום שמציע שיט עם קרואסון וקפה).

Value for money is okay. Location is pretty good and breakfast options are solid. Restaurant staff is apt and nice.

Please be aware that the owner is rather pushy when it comes to selling boat tours. For us it was fine but i can imagine that this could be regarded as inconvenient for other tourists.

Exceptional friendly breakfast staff and the breakfast itself.

The room is very small. The TV looks like it comes from a time warp machine. The mosquito netting on the windows was torn, the old timber shutters wouldn't close properly.so they were no't able to shut out the noise or light. The bathroom is tiny. The very small fridge next to the bed is noisy at night, as is the air con. .Even a timber strip on a corner of the walk was just hanging Obviously not much maintenance if any being carried out these days,, it's a hotel resting on its laurels of being the first in Virpazar. The owners forte is selling boat trips on the lake....and in his own way is very good at it to guests and those who pass by his hotel by car or by foot. Our three hr trip was in a big loud slow boat with a noisy inboard motor. The captain did point out a pelican. Overall rather boring except for the beautiful early morning reflections due to no wind. We didn't complain about the room as I know others have in the past and we would only be wasting our time

This is just the nicest traditional place, at the very entrance of Virpazar (Virpazar is very small, so you're anyway never far from places, but this is literally on the doorstep off the bus as well as most departure points for lake tours). The place is a local legend - its original owners were the people who started tourism in Virpazar. Excellent breakfast, lovely service and attentive staff who are happy to provide you with hints & tips about local activities, especially those a bit off the beaten path. The wifi was also quite good (not that I particularly needed it, but a nice plus). The rooms are quite basic but with all the amenities (including AC and a fridge, a massive bonus).

It does get warm in the summer so if you want to keep cool the rec is to keep the wooden shutters closed when the sun is on that side.

We enjoyed our three night stay at the Hotel Pelikan. Despite being located in a busy section of town, our room was surprisingly quiet despite the outside noise. Our room was small, basic and matched the pictures online plus comfortable and clean. Check in/out was smooth and easy, which included a welcome drink. Free street parking is available but can be crowded at times (although we always found a spot). The wifi connection was spotty. The breakfast was good with varied menu choices. Despite what's mentioned in other reviews we were asked but not pressured to book a boat tour. We elected not to which was fine with the hotel staff.

No blinds. We hadn't realized that the outside shutters could close to block out the street lights. Sadly we didn't learn about this option until we checked out and mentioned to the receptionist that the street lights were glaring.

Convenient location and really helpful friendly staff ( until he found out I’d book a boat trip with GYG! He had lots to say!) breakfast included and proper duvets on the bed. Mosquito screens.

Without curtains I had to use the shutters to keep out the light but this reduced circulation. There was an AC unit but I couldn’t get it to work. Operator issues most likely!

Most of the trip to this hotel was ok but we had sell the Skatdar Lake boat tour on arrival. He started at 100 Euros each and ended up at 50’butbthen there was 5 Euro add on tax. Probably better getting a joint trip not private. Then I went to big hotel only to find front door was locked at 11.15pm and I had no key!
