Hotels in Ptuj that we recommend
HOTEL MITRA Ptuj, Slovenia Centrally located in the quiet and charming town of Ptuj, the Hotel Mitra is a beautiful historical hotel with lots of character and a bit of luxury. Its décor is traditional with an attractive, flower-festooned pink exterior. The building has three floors and opened as a hotel in the 19th century. Despite its age, the hotel does have a lift. The location in the centre of the old town cannot be beat. Ptuj is a charming town that offers a lot of history and things to see and do, and Hotel Mitra is right in the heart of it all. Lovely cafes, restaurants and shopping right across the street, and the Ptuj Castle is up some stairs right around the corner from the front door. The rooms are well-maintained and spotlessly clean and have everything one needs, including comfortable beds, a fridge, flat-screen TV, WiFi and also character! Each room has a piece of artwork that goes with the room (signs are in the hall by the room number). The hotel is in the center of the old town so there is little external noise, but the windows are double glazed so things are nice and quiet when they're closed. The rooms are air conditioned, if needed. The bathrooms are well kitted out and spotless with a strong hot shower. The breakfast is very good, with cooked eggs and sausages in addition to the usual yogurt, cold cuts, cheese, bread, cereal, etc. There certainly is no excuse for going away hungry. The service is outstanding - nothing is too much for any of the staff who speak English and German. The hotel has undergone a makeover two years ago and has some wonderful facilities including the wine cellar, the wellness centre on the second floor and a lovely lobby area. The wine cellar is well worth a visit and recommends tasting some of their fine selection of Slovenian wines. Note that it's priced by the wine tasted, not a flat fee. There's also great al fresco eating/drinking/talking on the pavement outside in the summer months. Free roadside parking is available, but the spots are very limited and a bit small. The Wi-Fi signal is weak in some of the rooms, but otherwise works well. Overall, the Mitra is a fantastic place to stay while visiting Ptuj. The rooms and bathrooms are quite luxurious, the common spaces are lovely and the location perfect. The whole hotel exudes charm with a consistent style and a coherent aesthetic.
