Reviews for Hotel Sumski Feneri

Review 1：Great location at foot of mountains. Good food & atmosphere in hotel - both dinner and breakfast. Large clean bedroom & lovely spacious bathroom.

Review 2：Reception were a bit grumpy but it didn't spoil my stay.

Review 3：The restaurant staff were a real highlight. I enjoyed the evening meal immensely, especially the Fresh Orange and the recommended local dish. The Hotel itself has some very individual decor that may not be to all tastes but the place has charm and I liked it. It was refreshingly different.

Review 4：This is a great hotel located near the city in beautiful surroundings. Room I stayed in was huge with a large bathroom. Breakfast was great. I can truthfully recommend the hotel's restaurant. It is affordable with a variety of local food deliciously prepared. If I had a chance I would stay in this hotel again.

Review 5：This hotel is a hidden gem just outside of Bitola at the gates to Pelister National Forest. Free parking is available just in front of the hotel. We stayed with a group of 5 at the very roomy an luxurious appartment. As others wrote already, the bathroom is a dream and you could use the shower all day long. Breakfast was very delicious and plentyful. We also hat dinner at the hotel's restaurant and this is recomendet as they serve extremely delicious dishes in a wonderful atmosphere. All the stuff was very friendly and helpfull. We really felt at home. What a pity that we had to leave after just one night. We will definitely come back!

Review 6：Without a car you have to wait for taxi to come from Bitola but it's only 15 minutes or so. Everything else is A+++!!!

Review 7：Awesome hotel! Fantastic price! Best value! Breakfast included and it was yummy. Wifi worked great. Restaurant was an excellent value and food was delicious. The BEST shower, ever!

Review 11：What a superb place. The room was beautiful and modern. The view great. Above all the staff were so friendly and helpful. It's a very popular restaurant and if you eat there you know why. And the price represents the best value for money I've had for many many years.

Review 12：Perfect nature getaway, nothing to complain about.

Review 13：The hotel is located about 8 km from Pelister National Park info and entrance, but at the same time it is close to Bitola center (approx. 15 mins of driving). Very peaceful and quiet, excellent air. My room was neat and tidy, with the true spirit of mountain chalet. Also I liked shower, with 3 possible directions of water spraying. There is a good restaurant at the hotel with perfect price to quality rate. Friendly and helpful staff, speaking good English.

Review 16：no reception staff at all times. no security what so ever. We had someone trying to open the door of our apartment at 1:00 am. Very unpleasant experience.

Review 17：I liked everything.

Review 35：Šumski feneri Hotel is an ideal place to spend a night at while traveling to/back from Greece. It is located at the slopes of Pelister and close to Bitole so one can enjoy this beautiful city and also have a quiet night far from the city noise. Ljubica is a great host and she is very nice. The accomodation is clean and comfortable, a breakfast abundant. A special curiosity is an enormous ficus ! Hotel Šumski feneri je idealno mesto da se prenoći na putu za Grčku ili iz Grčke. Nalazi se na obroncima Pelistera i nedaleko od Bitolja, tako da se može uživati i u ovom lepom gradu, ali i prespavati dalje od gradske buke. Ljubica je izvanredan domaćin, veoma je ljubazna. Smeštaj je čist i udoban, a doručak obilan. Kuriozitet je fantastični fikus neverovatnih dimenzija!

Review 36：It was a little light in the room in the morning, it might be a good idea to put some luxaflex to the window.

Review 37：A fabulous location, quiet and cool, very friendly staff, good food, very clean. A great bathroom with a even greater douche.

Review 38：Friendly, funny, relaxing, peaceful, flexible... Personally is very intimate and frank. But, i like most carpetsss:) We tried very hard not to spill champagne on them.

Review 39：Having to leave early.

Review 40：A family run hotel with very friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere and lovely location, being just 10 minutes drive from Bitola on the edge of the national park. Stayed in a recently refurbished room. Excellent value for money with a decent restaurant, catering well for vegetarians. Lots of homemade dishes. I'd recommend the local bean dish for a meal and the homemade Ajva with your morning omelette.

Review 75：Awful breakfast!

Review 76：Large and comfortable rooms. Close to the national park. Close to Bitola center. Clean and fresh air.

Review 77：Maybe a little bit more choice at breakfast. But breakfast was already great.

Review 78：Without doubt one of the top 5 hotels in the country when it comes to value for money. Very spacious and well equipped rooms for a decent price, friendly hosts, peaceful location at the foot of a mountain range about 7km from Bitola centre, which you can see in the distance below. It is the equivalent of a quality 4 star hotel The restaurant and terrace below is a nice place to sit and drink a coffee in the evening. We did not eat in the hotel, but the food looked very tasteful and the restaurant attracted many local people in the evening. However the rooms are by far the best aspect of this hotel.

Review 79：location in a country setting, birds singing around the hotel; friendly helpful and efficient staff, who spoke good English; comfortable and well-appointed hotel; excellent food. We would certainly visit again.

Review 80：To noisy refrigator within room as well as surrounding (work shop in the backyard). There were some dust on furniture.

Review 81：The hostes Ljubica is very kind and helpful person.Hotel is settled on beautiful place.

Review 83：A little difficult to be found.

Review 84：Really wonderful place. Friendly and helpful stuff. Very good restaurant and very good breakfast. The location is really far from center, but it is quiet, fresh and relaxing place. Thanks a lot to all smiling people in this hotel!

Review 85：I can describe this hotel in only one word: Excellent. Staff was very pleasant, rooms were comfort and clean ( Wi-Fi internet is free and ultra speed :) ),the restaurant was with tasty and delicious food and most of all the location is perfect. The hotel is situated at the bottom of the mountain Pelister, only 10 minutes driving to the peak and 5 minutes driving to the center of Bitola. Really great place to recharge your life batteries with fresh mountain air and away from the town noise. One time in Sumski Feneri always in Sumski Feneri.

Review 86：Very warm and homelike atmosphere. Helpful and professional staff working. Great accommodation and most important, delicious food! Recommending this hotel for everyone that comes to Bitola.

Review 87：Delicious food, beutiful Dekoration, awesome Service, great generous People, very nice Rooms, beautiful Location. I can recommend this Hotel from my heart , and simply you can't do anything wrong by booking a room here. Thanks for everything, and i promise i'll come again. Best regards I.M.

Review 88：The restaurant was a disaster. Completely unqualified staff (although well dressed and friendly), and the food was the worst I had in a long time. Sorry but this place doesn't know what it wants to be: either a classy restaurant, or a "local grill" type. It ends up being good in neither.

Review 89：The hotel part was OK. clean rooms, comfortable.

Review 90：Excellent room, with a partly view of the mountains. Helpful, social and friendly staff. Great hotell breakfast and an overall good restaurant. 7 km to hiking trails and the same to the town centre. Staff was really helpful and called us taxis when we needed, so there was no problem getting around.

Review 91：the stuff was amazing,very hospitable and excellent in everything,the owner of the hotel amazing person,the hotel is 4-5km away from the center of bitola,very nice location at the mountain. i recomend it

Review 92：This hotel should have more than 3 stars.

Review 93：This hotel deserves nothing but 10 out of 10. All what reviewers write about the hotel (those who rate 10) is true. Hotel has perfect location for those who come hiking the mountains as well as for those who are just in transit, on a romantic break or visiting Bitola. In front of the hotel is a enough parking for all the visitors. The terrace is surrounded by beautiful flowers. The stuff is very nice and polite. Rooms are spotlessly clean and have a fridge and a cable TV. Wireless works perfectly and is free of charge. The restaurant offers a large variety of tasteful dishes for very reasonable prices. The owner Ljubica is the heart and soul of the hotel. We will definitely come back and recommend to all our friends.

Review 94：Excellent hotel, staff really made us feel welcome. On-site restaurant is top notch. For the outdoor enthusiast the hotel is ideally placed, for people visiting the city of Bitola a short taxi ride is required. Left feeling like family

Review 95：I'm asthmatic and found the staff totally dismissive of my problem with air fresheners. I was told they couldn't be turned off because clients would complain about smells! What on earth were they hiding?

Review 96：NThis hotel felt like a miuntain resort with large, well-furnished rooms and a good restaurant with pleasant, attentive staff. We took a long, bumpy (but scenic and fun) jeep ride into the mountains in Pelister Park, complete with a picnic lunch at the top of the trail.

Review 97：- Wedding reception on the night we stayed so we couldn't use the inside bar (we could take a bottle of wine to our room though so we didn't mind at all!)

Review 98：- Great price - Comfy and Clean - Big room - Helpful staff - Generous breakfast - Very reasonable bar

Review 99：Wonderful people, smiling all the day and working hard to get your stay happy and comfortable. Very clean room, best quality furniture. Very close to Bitola and Pelister National Park. Just say you are moslim or Jewish and Hotel Sumski Feneri cares for the foods.

Review 100：The fridge or cooler (I do not know what it was) works, but thetemperature inside was higher than in the room. It was not possible tocool something there. At the time we traveled the weather was very hotand it was necessary to have a cold drink overnight.

Review 101：Rooms were large and spacious, nicely furnished and clean.

Review 102：We arrived a little bit late to Bitola and our navigation did not find the road to the hotel. Consequently we had to stop and ask a few times to find it. The map at the hotel's web site or google doees not help at all. It would be advisable to have a simple directions or a sketch there at the web site. Here is my directions: Take the Ohrid road from Bitola. After a few miles you will come to an intersection with the gas station "Makpetrol" with a big sign "M" over it. Take a left there towards trhe sign of "Hotel Kapri" and continue about a mile until you reach the hotel. Good Luck

Review 103：The hotel is located at a very nice countryside location at Baba Mountain. We took an early morning walk up to the hill. The environment was so nice and refreshing. The breakfast was very good and worth noting. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We as our family were very satisfied.

Review 104：The Wi-Fi was hit and miss.

Review 105：The room was amazing it was very large had a wonderful sitting area and the bathroom Was extremely luxurious. The bed slept well and there was a refridgerator. The hotel is set at the foot of a mountain and it is in a great off the beaten path location. The hotel also has a restaurant which serves a wonderful dinner. The coffee at breakfast was amazing and they made as each wonderful omelettes for breakfast.
