Old-fashioned luxury, friendly and welcoming ambiance
Pros:

Great staff. The location is great if you enjoy walking. The room was magnificent and warm, and the bathroom/shower was truly enjoyable. The highlight, however, is the spa area—easily the best in Belgrade!

Cons:

As it wasn't the peak tourist season, the hotel was very quiet. But this meant I had the beautiful spa all to myself, and the staff were incredibly accommodating

Pros:

Excellent stay at Electra Palace. Everything was perfect, especially the staff—very polite and helpful. The breakfast was great and the room was perfect as well. They also kindly let us stay 2 hours longer after the normal check-out time for free, which we really appreciated. Highly recommended!
