Inex Olgica Hotel & Spa

不錯 性價比高

A summer holiday that we were looking forward to but was let down by Inex Olgica. Upon arriving in our room we found that the drain was blocked and after removing the plug we saw it was clogged with hair and other debris. We left the plug out in hopes that the staff would rectify this but we eventually had to do it ourselves. This leads on to the general lack of hygiene around the hotel with the female toilets in reception having dry urine on the seats despite the cleaning form being signed by the staff. Our room throughout our week stay was not swept and there was no availability to cleaning products to do this ourselves. For the meal times we attended we always found that there were pieces of cutlery and dinnerware that were not completely clear of food from the previous meal. When attending meals in the evenings we came to realise that despite steaks being on the menu they were never available to order. Having breakfast included with your stay is always a bonus but after having the same low standard thing seven days in a row it can get rather bland and different options on specific days would have been a welcomed change. Throughout they day it is nice to enjoy a snack but having to travel in to Ohrid town is an inconvenience and a small shop or snack bar would be ideal for guests to grab a quick bite. There may be a kettle, cups and sugar in your room but there was only two herbal tea bags available, no coffee or tea, which were not replaced. Not having these small luxuries included in a 5 star hotel is a bit strange and the complementary water is the two bottles when you arrive and that is it, despite not being able to drink the tap water. Relaxing around the pool and spa is a great way to unwind but when the sunbeds are forever collapsing behind you when on a incline it can get rather annoying, ruin your relaxation and be quite dangerous for some. We found that the staff around the hotel, mainly bar and restaurant staff, had a rather bad attitude towards certain guests and would be more inclined to help those that spoke a similar language. When asked for help it came across as if was an inconvenience to them or they would take their time to serve you which made us feel unwelcomed in the hotel. To end on a good note. The Sunset Bar was a diamond in the rough at Inex Olgica. The quality of service and drinks were outstanding. Ann-Marie was an amazing host and the staff working at the Sunset Bar were the highlight of our stay. For a 5 star hotel, in a prime location on Lake Ohrid, you would expect better.

I went in August 2023. Lovely hotel, amazing, welcoming staff. All very accommodating. Great location too. Easy to walk into the main town 20 minute or so; a lovely walk away from the main road. Sun beds were always available and a lovely indoor pool. The lake is beautiful. Steep steps to get to the lake's beach, but worth it. I took beach shoes, which I kept on when going into the water as there are large rocks.

When we arrived, our room wasn't ready but we were notified quickly when it was, which was about an hour earlier than expected. I booked a lake view room, but given one on a lower floor with obscured view, raised the issue with our TUI rep, but was told that even though there were a lot of trees outside our room, we could still see a small portion of the lake, therefore had a lake view. The room hasn't been cleaned properly. The complimentary toiletries were half used, bins still had rubbish from previous guests. Balcony was completely filthy, full of cobwebs and dirt. Smoke alarm broken, and shower constantly flooded as didn't drain properly. The breakfast was inedible, very little offering for international guests. No toast, poor selection of pastries, not including croissants. Cereal was either cornflakes or muesli. The fruit was half rotten and nothing fresh. Coffee machine was poor, the coffee was like mud with a strange chocolate taste to it. The so called hot selection was not only limited, but cold and congealed. So glad we didn't pay for half board, much better places to eat in Ohrid at a reasonable price too. On our last night when we had an early flight the next morning, a wedding was taking place right above our room with music blasting long into the night. Unable to sleep, had to call reception and get moved to a different room just to sleep. This wedding wouldn't have been a surprise and would have been planned well in advance. Not even notified by the hotel of the disruption and noise. The two blonde ladies on reception were fantastic though. Very friendly and welcoming. Always happy to answer any questions or book us taxis. It's a shame the hotel is such a letdown as it's located in beautiful surroundings and could be so much better. As it stands this should be a 2* hotel at best, nowhere near a 5*

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
