Inex Olgica Hotel & Spa

Hotel definitely not 5 star. Skirting board fell off as I was across the room on first day. Was given a replacement room. No end fitted to curtain pole so when opened curtain next day it fell on the floor, Given a torn towel on fourth day. Food on buffet always cold, cold soup and cold chips every evening not appealing and too far out of town to go elsewhere. Lakeside views and spa good, but rooms sold as “Mountain View” should have been “car park view”.

This hotel is beautifully situated on the shores of Lake Ohrid. If you have a lakeside view room, then you will not get tired of waking up in the morning and looking out of the window. The room we stayed in was generously proportioned and tidy, with ample space for luggage and relaxing. One slight negative point was that our bathroom only had a bath tub, and not a shower. The breakfast at the hotel was nice, with a range of cold meats, cheeses and hot filled pastries. The coffee from the bar was actually quite good too. The hotel has a nice swimming pool, with views of the lake and a small foreshore with a pebble beach. Unfortunately, the municipality of Ohrid, which is responsible for emptying the rubbish bins had not done so for some time, so there was a lot of litter down at the beach. On the plus side, within 12 hours of reporting this to the reception, the beach was lovely and clean again. Parking was a bit of a hassle, and I got the impression that people from Ohrid drive up to the hotel, which is out of town, in order to use the beach (as there is no real beach in central Ohrid), so during the day, it can be really hard to find a parking spot. If you're not very confident parallel parking or reversing, then park in the lower car park and walk a little. Although it's not in the centre of town, I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. It's probably needs a bit of love and attention in places, but it's charming and the staff members were very helpful.

This is NOT a 5 star hotel like they claim to be. The room did not smell good and it was full of dead bugs in the walls, curtains... The shower did not have any type of curtain or wall to separate it from the toilet and it would all get wet as a consequence. The breakfast was not great as well, the food was not tasty at all and there weren't many options to choose from to be honest. I only stayed there for a night but it wasnt a good experience. I might seem very exaggerated with this review but I don't want more people to be scammed. I would classify this hotel like a pension more than a 5 star hotel. I hope this review is helpful.

Just OK. Not a 5 star hotel, but the view from the room was just breathtaking. Big and comfy bed. But... Rooms very outdated and dirty. Balcony was never cleaned. Each day, random things were restocked in our room- no consistency at all. No daily water in the fridge, only 2 welcome bottles of water on arrival. Breakfast was just fine, repetitive, but you will get this nearly everywhere else. Very tasty cold meat cuts, but very limited choice od vegs and fruits. The hotel's restaurant evening food was not good. We had 2 evening meals there, and they were disappointing. For example, my broccoli soup looked and tasted like water in which broccoli was cooked rather than the soup. My partner liked their fish soup. The hotel's bar and restaurant served alcohol at different prices at different times of the day. Very strange. During our 7 nights stay there were 2 big private parties lasting till 1am. The hotel is placed next to the public lake (pebble) beach, which was very loud, specially over the weekend (live DJ events most of the day and evening). Sunbeds on the beach for two ppl cost 5 euro per day. Plenty of smoking everywhere. I would not come back there.

We stayed at this hotel this July for 7 nights and to be honest we had to move rooms first half hour they put us in the basement which the room was damp the breakfast was shocking not much choice there was no fruit no yoghurts it was very bland the evening meal buffet was terrible the alicante was nice food but minimal choice on offer it was no wher near a 5 star we ate out for the last 4 days in the town which was great

The location is beautiful. The hotel is on the lakeside with easy access to Ohrid and the Galicica national Park. The hotel itself was built to a high modern standard but gave the impression of having been through hard times and needing some funds spent on repairs. The communal areas were kept clean but some of the furniture was tatty and needed repairing. Unlike other hotels we didn't get any information about the layout or services on offer. Nor did we get anything from Tui. We had a fun time trying to find places and remembering meal times. We were happy with our room and had a lake side view. It was a good shower. Less happy with little things such as how to get clean towels . We were advised not to drink the tap water but no other water was supplied to our room. If you are a foodie don't opt for anything other than bed and possibly breakfast. Otherwise eat out. We found lots of nice places in Ohrid. When we ate at the hotel we found we enjoyed the views of the lake from the terrace which compensated for the food at the buffet. The pool area was very popular with families during the day. The gym was well equipped and we used it a couple of times. The spa was limited to a sauna and steam room by the side of the pool .The sauna did have nice views. The staff tended to wait to be asked to help as opposed to offering help. The language barrier didn't help. Out and about we came across people who spoke English. We found local people were friendly and reached out to help us. We enjoyed the easy access to the beach. The people running the area let us know it did not belong to the hotel and we needed to pay to use a sun lounger. But hey they also served drinks and a local came by with freshly picked berries and a traditional 'bread'.

Definitely on of the best hotels in the riviera..Amazing and unique conference hotel(due to its yugoslavian retro design) that can be quickly adapted to being a family resort in couple of days. I must compliment that the spa section with a modern pool..plus I think the rooms overlooking the lake are spacious.Hotel has its own beach that is surrounded by lush greenery and kept neat daily.

Excellent hotel, great location - but watch out for the dangerous sunbeds. Had a wonderful time, the food, staff were excellent. Location is great. Only con - was the sunbeds around the pool - they quite dangerous, just a matter of time before someone is hurt (possibly this is happened already!)
