Hotel Estera

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Hotel Estera? The lobby actually feels like someone’s really sophisticated friend designed it – not some corporate committee trying to impress everyone who walks through the door. I mean, it’s clearly a 4-star place, but there’s this understated elegance that doesn’t scream at you. The staff behind the front desk genuinely seemed happy to see me when I checked in, which honestly caught me off guard after staying at so many places where you feel like you’re interrupting someone’s day.

The rooms are where this place really shines though. Everything’s been thought through in a way that makes you think “oh, someone who actually travels designed this.” The lighting is warm enough that you don’t feel like you’re in a hospital, the bed is positioned so you’re not staring directly at the bathroom door (small thing, but it matters), and there are enough outlets placed where you’d actually want to use them. The bathroom surprised me too – spacious shower with water pressure that doesn’t make you question your life choices, and they stock those little toiletries that you don’t mind using instead of digging out your own stuff. One thing I really appreciated was how quiet it stays at night. You know how some hotels have paper-thin walls and you end up knowing way too much about your neighbors? Not an issue here.

What really sets Hotel Estera apart is that 9.1 rating – and after staying there, I totally get it. It’s one of those places that doesn’t promise you the moon but delivers on everything they do offer. The housekeeping is meticulous without being intrusive, and when I had a question about getting around the area, the concierge gave me actual local recommendations instead of just pointing me toward the obvious tourist spots. The breakfast (if you spring for it) is solid – not groundbreaking, but fresh and with enough variety that you won’t get bored if you’re staying multiple nights. I also noticed they seem to attract a good mix of business travelers and couples, which usually means a place has found that sweet spot between professional and welcoming. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. It’s the kind of hotel where you don’t spend your time dealing with annoying little problems, so you can actually focus on whatever brought you to town in the first place.

  The room was spacious, beds made every day. Towels changed on 2nd day. Hotel was clean and well located.

• James from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Excellent location. Lots of bars, restaurants and fast food places around the small square. Cheaper than the old town main square. With the windows closed you don’t hear anything though. We were overlooking everything. On the corner of the hotel with windows facing 2 directions.
