We booked our stay at the Industrial 1853 further to a friend's recommendation and positive reviews for their Spa and Pool.
Having checked the rooms, we booked the Apartment as it clearly showed it had a fireplace, which is ideal for this time of the year.
When arriving to the hotel after almost 2h drive from Belgrade, the receptionist welcomed us, insisting on speaking Serbian, though she understood English.
We were told we have breakfast included. i thought it was very nice of them to gift us this as i remember the option didn't exist when making the reservation.
We then asked when does the Spa close as it was already 16:00. To our surprise, we were told it is under renovation. When she noticed our disappointment, she explained that was the reason we were given the breakfast.
"not ideal, but at least we have the pool" i thought to myself. apparently it's also closed.
She offered to postpone the reservation if we wanted, i explained it was a bit late for that as we'd driven all the way and are here! They should've warned us beforehand.
"we won't let it ruin our weekend" we thought and went up to the room.
Very nice (apartment) room i must say, but... no fireplace.
By now, there was no reason for us to stay there. i went down to the reception and explained that we are leaving and do not expect to be charged for this stay.
When leaving the property, the receptionist made it very clear that at hotel Industrial 1853, what you see in the photos isn't what you get!
