Perfect
Pros:

I really have to give a huge shout-out to this hotel! Even before I arrived, they reached out via Booking to remind me of all the key details regarding my reservation. When I asked about booking a round-trip taxi to the Ohrid bus station, the owner was incredibly prompt and efficient. She not only booked the taxi for me but also coordinated with the driver to stop at an ATM along the way so I could get some cash. When the bus temporarily changed its drop-off point, she thoughtfully communicated the new pickup address for me. But honestly, the most touching moment was when I arrived and saw her waiting for me on the terrace. It was such a heartwarming gesture!
As for the hotel itself, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a stunning view of Lake Ohrid. The room was spotless, the AC worked perfectly, and the bathroom was clean and well-equipped, making for a really comfortable shower. It completely met all my expectations for a stay in Ohrid—I honestly couldn't find a single thing to complain about. The owner also gave me great recommendations for sightseeing routes and nearby restaurants. She even pointed out a place where hotel guests get a discount; the steak there was absolutely delicious and highly recommended!
If I ever have the chance to return to Ohrid, I will definitely be staying here again!

Perfect view
Pros:

Location is very good. The room is well equipped and the view is amazing
We had everything we needed and the place was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

We didn’t have hot water in the shower and it took more than an hour to fix it. It’s not exactly a hotel. It’s like an Airbnb but they clean the room once a day. There’s no permanent staff on site

We were hoping to enjoy a new country to us but Macedonia exceeded our hopes, a most memorable week
Pros:

Superb old town location, within minutes of lakeside but slightly tucked away in a quiet corner. Stunning views from balcony. Host Svetlana very helpful when needed eg with advice, booking taxis etc. Many good restaurants nearby. Good base for day trips eg Naum monastery, Struja, and even a guided exploration of Albania across the lake.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike.

Konfor arıyorsanız, orası burası değil !
Pros:

Konumunu, muhteşem göl manzaralı büyük balkonunu

Cons:

Odalarda olması gereken bardak, tabak gibi basit gereçlerin hazırda bulundurulmamış olmasını.
Talep üzerine bilahare getirdiler.
