    The honest truth about this

    The staff was friendly and efficient, making my stay enjoyable. I appreciated the quick check-in and the delicious breakfast options, which included various pastries and hot meals.

    Unfortunately, the noise from nearby traffic and rowdy guests disrupted the peaceful atmosphere, making relaxation difficult.

    Exceptional Service and Comfortable Rooms

    I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. The breakfast had a great variety, with freshly baked pastries and delicious fruits. The room was spacious and tastefully decorated, making it a pleasant place to relax. The only downside was that the pool bar could use a bit more snack options.

    great service but a bit loud at night

    The staff's attentiveness was outstanding. they ensured I felt welcome from check-in. The room upgrade made my stay even more enjoyable with breathtaking views that left me in awe every morning. The swimming pool truly elevated relaxation, making it a perfect spot to unwind after exploring. Plus, the mountain view from my room was a bonus that I absolutely loved!

    There was a bit of noise coming from the street at night that occasionally disrupted my sleep.

    noisy environment

    The family room felt worn with a small balcony that lacked any appealing view. Noise levels were high, both from nearby traffic and from the guests—thin walls made it tough to get a good night's sleep. The pool closed too early at 7 PM, which limited its accessibility after a long day of adventure. Additionally, the neighborhood felt unsafe for walking at night, with limited dining options within reach.

    A Mixed Bag, Good for a Short Stay

    I stayed for three nights with my partner. The room, newly refurbished, offered a comfy memory foam mattress, which was a saving grace. However, noise from neighbors impacted our sleep. The pool area is lovely, but getting there early is key for a peaceful morning. Consider bringing earplugs!

    During my stay, I was pleasantly surprised by how beautifully renovated the place was, featuring modern decor and spacious common areas that were easy to navigate. The staff's friendliness made a significant difference, enhancing my overall experience. The pool was a fantastic spot to unwind after a busy day, and the convenient location made it easy to access nearby attractions and transportation options. If there’s one area for improvement, it might be the snack options available at the pool bar, as they were a bit limited.

    I had a great stay at Vanisko. The check-in was swift, taking just two minutes, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. I appreciated that they suggested I grab breakfast even before it officially started, ensuring I wouldn't leave on an empty stomach. The location is ideal, right across from the bus station, making it convenient for exploring the area. The small pool provided a relaxing spot after a busy day.

    Room was a bit noisy due to traffic.
