Hotel berhampiran Ohrid Pearls & Silver Fam.Leveski, Ohrid

When another property cancelled last minute, I booked us for one night here. I'm so very glad that I did! From the moment we arrived we were treating like friends and valued guests. Our host parked our car in the narrow but secure driveway (and also offered us street parking, if that had been our preference), offered a welcome drink and helped with the bags. He lent us a travel book and a map to use during our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable and bright and the shower had lots of hot water. We were able to do laundry (for an extremely small fee) and they even hung the clothes on the line to dry so that we could enjoy our time in town, without worrying about coming back to do the laundry! The location was perfect, on a quiet street, just steps from the lake's promenade. We didn't have to rush in the morning to move the car while we enjoyed some final touring in the morning and were even given a gift upon departure.

Clean and nice hotel, you can book the lake view room, easy to go everywhere

This villa has a spectacular view from your bedroom! Your balcony is right in front of your bed with the most awesome view of Lake Ohrid and the mountainside behind you. Very spacious room, comfortable bed and pillows, nice size refrigerator in the room with you. There is a kitchen that you can utilize to cook with. Stocked with dishes, silverware, pots and pans. There is also salt and spices that you can use too. The cons is the location. Especially if you do not rent a car. Unless you have service on your cell phone where you can call a taxi you will have to rely on the host to call the Taxi for you to get into town. It is a 15 minute drive into town. The taxi ride cost seven dollars each way. There is no rideshare app that you can use in that area. Once you’re in town, it is easy to pick up a taxi from there. You can walk up to anyone along the street and ask them for a ride back to the Villa. 

Stayed at Hotel Izgrev with my wife and four year old son for a week. We had booked through TUI as Lake Ohrid really caught our eye and we have enjoyed previous holidays in the Balkans. We really cannot fault the hotel, we loved our stay there! We had upgraded our room to lake view (highly recommended) and our board to half-board. Our hotel room was perfect, it was two adjoining rooms so we had plenty of space including two bathrooms and two balcony areas with picture perfect views of the lake. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The food service was buffet style. Breakfast had selections of fruit and cereals, hot items, and cold items with water, juice, coffee and other hot drinks readily available. Evening service had soups, salads & other cold items, a hot selection and a good variety of desserts. Food quality was good. Our last evening we decided to eat from the ala carte menu to celebrate our anniversary, this had great choice and was good value, and delicious. A special thank you to the staff that made our anniversary wonderful. Now, the aqua park. Our son had seen the aqua park on a photo when we were booking the holiday and decided that’s where we were going. It did not disappoint. There are lots of sun beds around the pool and park. The aqua park is open to the public so it does get busy at peak days/times, we would usually get down for around 10am when it opened and had plenty beds to choose from. The slides are superb, there really is enough to keep everyone entertained there. Pool areas were clean, the pool bar was good and a nice spot to get some refreshment. The snack bar was handy if you got peckish in the afternoon and again, was great value. If you fancy something quieter than the aqua park, the hotel has a beach section on the shore of Lake Ohrid. It really is a beautiful and perfect place to relax. It’s much quieter than the aqua park and has a beach bar there for refreshment. You can also order from the snack bar menu, again wonderful if you’re peckish and want to satisfy your hunger with the incredible view. The staff at Hotel Izgrev were all friendly, warm and welcoming. The guys at the pool bar and beach bar were great fun, and the guys at dinner service were ever so friendly and helpful. Beyond the hotel there isn’t much in the area, the hotel can arrange taxis to Struga and Ohrid. There are a couple of monasteries/churches in the vicinity of the hotel on the lake shore that are worth seeing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Izgrev, I would recommend booking a lake view room as it is a stunning view.
