Hotel Kragujevac

Serbia


It may look like a socialist-era monolith eyesore from the outside, but this eight-storey hotel has been completely refurbished (the glass elevator is kind of cool) and now offers good value for money with all the mod cons and a central location. The rooms have plenty of natural light and spotless bathrooms; the rooftop restaurant boasts the best view in town.
