Unbelievable Hotel in Orasac, Serbia: You Won't Believe Your Eyes!
Unbelievable Hotel in Orasac, Serbia: You Won't Believe Your Eyes! – My Brain Just Exploded (in a Good Way)
Okay, folks, buckle up. I just got back from the Unbelievable Hotel in Orasac, Serbia: You Won’t Believe Your Eyes!, and honestly, my brain is still trying to reassemble itself. This isn't just a hotel review; this is a therapy session masquerading as a review. Prepare for a rollercoaster.
The Hype is Real: Access, Accessibility, and the Elevator of Dreams
First things first: Accessibility. Look, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I appreciate a place that thinks about everyone. And Unbelievable Hotel does. Facilities for disabled guests exist, the elevator actually works (a miracle, given some of the hotels I’ve stayed in), and the layout felt pretty spacious. I didn't see specific details on the wheelchair accessibility in the rooms, but the public spaces seemed very navigable. Getting around was a breeze, with airport transfer available, plus car park [free of charge] and valet parking.
Now, about that elevator… I had a moment. I was waiting for it, and this elderly couple shuffled in with their enormous suitcases. The woman, bless her heart, was struggling. The elevator door closed, the little ding went off, and… nothing. Just silence. We waited. I was just about to make some awkward small talk when the guy in the elevator control room started yelling, with a microphone on and a big grin, "It's time for the magic show! The elevator is starting to play its song!" LOL. The elevator went up and down, and the door opened at the correct floor. Amazing. It has a character.
Cleanliness and Safety: Beyond the Sanitizing Haze!
Okay, pandemic times. Let’s talk Cleanliness and safety. Unbelievable Hotel took this seriously. I’m talking Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and staff trained in safety protocol. They had hand sanitizer everywhere, and I mean everywhere. My favorite part? They had a sign (in Serbian and English, of course) that said "If you see someone sneeze, just smile and wave. We'll handle it." I loved that! They also had rooms sanitized between stays, and you could even room sanitization opt-out. And for those of you concerned about dining, they had a safe dining setup, sanitized kitchen and tableware items, and individually-wrapped food options. They even removed Shared stationery!
I was kind of relieved, I admit, the Hygiene certification definitely eased my mind. They had a Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, and even Sterilizing equipment. Everything felt, dare I say, clean. I was also pleased they allowed Cashless payment service.
Rooms: My Oasis of Sanity (And Amazing Views!)
The room… oh, the room. I was in one of the non-smoking rooms! (Hallelujah!). My room, packed with Air conditioning, had a balcony with an outrageous view (the "You Won't Believe Your Eyes!" part is totally accurate). I loved my blackout curtains (needed those after a long day of exploring!), the comfortable bed, and the free Wi-Fi – Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – which meant I could Instagram my every move (sorry, not sorry). And the Wi-Fi was fast, a big plus for me because I needed to catch up on work sometimes, so the Internet access – wireless really helped.
I had to go to the concierge to ask for complimentary tea, and got it immediately. Another plus. I got an additional bottle of water too.
Other features included Additional toilet, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Bathroom phone, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Internet access – LAN, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, and Wake-up service. The included Ironing service helped me since I was travelling for business meeting, which was also convenient.
Seriously, the little things mattered. The slippers, the fluffy bathrobes, the towels that actually absorbed water… pure bliss. The only slight "downside" (and I'm being nitpicky here) was that the on-demand movies selection wasn't as extensive as I'm used to. And it was kind of tough to get used to some of the Serbian channels.
Dining: Fueling the Soul (and My Stomach!)
Food, glorious food! Dining, drinking, and snacking was an adventure. They really put some emphasis on this part. The Breakfast [buffet] was amazing. I went for the Asian breakfast one day (because, why not?). The Buffet in restaurant was huge, and I couldn't stop myself from trying everything. They offered Alternative meal arrangement and even a Vegetarian restaurant. There were Coffee/tea in restaurant, and a Coffee shop.
I even got to have some Desserts in restaurant after having dinner with my collegues. The International cuisine in restaurant was fabulous, and I liked how they had a la carte in restaurant. They had a Poolside bar for drinks!
One night, I decided to order Room service [24-hour] after a long day, and I just ordered the Soup in restaurant, but the food was good!
They were also good, like really good, in Safety/security feature!
(Rambling Time: The Spa!)
Okay, this is where things get… intense. Let me set the scene. I’d been running around all day, my feet were killing me. Exhausted, I stumbled into the Spa. And then… the Sauna! The Steamroom! The Spa/sauna combo was pure decadence. I even splurged on a Body scrub and a Massage. Let me tell you, I emerged from that spa a new human being. I'm not a spa person, I generally find them a bit pretentious. But this one? Changed my mind. They had a Fitness center. The Pool with view was incredible, especially at sunset. They had a Foot bath which helped me to get rid of all foot pain. The Body wrap was absolutely to die for!
Honestly, the people working there were incredibly welcoming and patient. By the end, I was basically a puddle of relaxed goo. I still haven't quite recovered.
Things to Do/See (Beyond Just Relaxing): For the Kids!
If you're bringing the little ones, the Family/child friendly hotel has you covered. I saw a Kids facilities and was told about Babysitting service available. I'm pretty sure I also saw some Kids meal options at the main restaurant – but I didn't have kids with me.
For the Business Types (and the Rest of Us):
Unbelievable Hotel also caters to the business crowd. They have Business facilities, including Meeting/banquet facilities and Seminars, and I saw evidence of several Meetings happening. You can even organize On-site event hosting. I was really impressed by the Audio-visual equipment for special events and the Projector/LED display. They have Wi-Fi for special events and the Xerox/fax in business center.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
Seriously, the Concierge was a lifesaver. They helped me with everything from booking taxis (Taxi service) to figuring out local customs. They offered Currency exchange, plus Luggage storage and Dry cleaning and Laundry service. There's a Convenience store on site, which is handy for snacks and essentials. I was also surprised to get an Invoice provided after I checked out.
The Not-So-Perfect Bits (Because Perfection is Boring):
Look, no place is perfect, right? The only tiny downside I can think of is that the smoking area wasn't particularly attractive - but that's a minor quibble. And the smoking area was separated from the non smoking area so great plus!
Overall Impression: Would (and Will) Recommend
This isn’t just a hotel; it’s an experience. It's the "Unbelievable" part of the name is completely accurate.. From the incredible view to the spa that will melt your worries away, this place gets almost everything right. The staff are lovely, the food is

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to get the unvarnished, slightly-off-kilter, and potentially chaotic itinerary for a trip to Hotel Orasac, Serbia. I'm not promising perfection, but I am promising a whole lot of real.
Day 1: Arrival & Oh God, That Hill
- Morning (ish): Fly into Belgrade. Let's be honest, the flight was a red-eye. I'm already operating on about three hours of sleep and a potent mix of airplane coffee and sheer willpower to even GET on the plane. Dragging my luggage off the carousel felt like wrestling a grumpy yeti. Found the shuttle – driver, bless his soul, spoke about as much English as my cat. We eventually figured it out though. Directions? More like hand gestures and hopeful glances. Still, Belgrade airport is surprisingly efficient.
- Afternoon: The drive is beautiful, once you get past the initial near-death experience on the highway. Let me tell you, these Serbian drivers… well, let's just say they're not afraid of the horn. Arrive at Hotel Orasac. First impressions? Charming, old-school, maybe a little… faded? The lobby smells faintly of mothballs and… roses? Well, alright! The check-in process took FOREVER because the receptionist was also the concierge, the bartender, and possibly the head chef. She was lovely, though, bless her heart.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: The ROOM. Okay, it's… functional. The view, however, is spectacular. Rolling hills, a church steeple, and the sheer quiet is almost deafening. Then I see it. The HILL. The one I have to climb to get to the front door. This is going to be a battle.
- Evening: Dine in the hotel restaurant. The food? Hearty. The portions? Generous. The waiter seemed to regard my attempts at Serbian with a mixture of amusement and pity. I had some sort of meat-and-potato concoction, which tasted amazing despite my utter exhaustion. I also, embarrassingly, spilled red wine down myself immediately on arrival. I feel I have to say, they make good wine here. Went to bed early and crashed for some hours.
Day 2: Exploring & Emotional Breakdown (Just Kidding… Mostly)
- Morning: Woke up to birdsong. Actual, proper birdsong! Spent some time on the balcony, staring at the view, still recovering from yesterday's wine-fueled drama. Breakfast was a buffet of pastries, cheeses, and enough coffee to power a small city. Wandered into the nearby town and had a coffee. The locals stare a lot. I feel I have to say, they're friendly, but they stare a lot.
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon: Decided to be productive. Went for a hike. The hill. Still the hill. Made it up, eventually. The trail was beautiful, but I got lost. Briefly. Panic hit. Thoughts of bears (completely irrational) went through my head before I re-oriented myself. I made it, and the view from the top was… stunning. Felt a moment of peace. Felt the rush of accomplishment.
- Afternoon: Time to be a tourist. I spent far too much time in a tiny museum dedicated to local history and folk art. It was oddly fascinating. Saw some pottery. Felt like I could do better because I had no idea actually I could do it better.
- Evening: Back at the hotel. Dinner. I'm getting used to the rhythm of Serbian meals now: big portions and surprisingly good beer. The people are so friendly here, but I never quite feel as if I fit in. I'd like to come back.
Day 3: The Waterfall & The Coffee (That Changed My Life… Maybe)
- Morning: Today, the Waterfall. The most amazing thing about this trip. Spent some hours exploring. It was cold and the waters were strong but the feeling of the water was incredible. I spent the next two hours just sitting near the waterfalls.
- Late Afternoon: Back in hotel. Read a book. Watched the sunset. I felt so alone, yet so at peace. I was finally happy.
- Evening: Back at the hotel. Dinner again. I am getting really comfortable with the locals now. Maybe I should stay?
Day 4: Departure & The Lingering Scent of Nostalgia
- Morning: Breakfast. Last stroll around the town. Got my last Serbian Coffee. I have never felt so sad to say goodbye.
- Afternoon: Drive back to Belgrade. I almost don't want to depart.
- Evening: Flight home. Thinking, dreaming and planning my next trip.
Quirky Observations & Imperfections:
- The Language Barrier: My Serbian is… non-existent. I relied heavily on miming, pointing, and the sheer goodwill of the locals.
- The Hotel's Charm: It's a little rough around the edges, but that's part of its charm. Think "rustic" meets "slightly neglected."
- The Food: Get ready for meat. Lots and lots of meat. And bread. And potatoes. If you're on a diet, forget it.
- The People: The Serbians are incredibly warm and welcoming. They're also not afraid to be direct.
- The Hill: It's a beast. Prepare your calves. And your lungs.
Emotional Reactions:
- Joy: The sheer beauty of the scenery, the kindness of the people.
- Annoyance: The language barrier at times.
- Exhaustion: The physical effort involved in getting around.
- Contentment: Sitting on my balcony, taking in the view.
- Awe: The waterfall. Absolutely and completely.
- Nostalgia: Even before I leave, I know I'll miss this place.
This trip wasn't perfect. Far from it. There were moments of frustration, moments of minor panic, and moments when I just wanted to curl up and whimper in a corner. But it was real. It was gritty. And it was mine. I'd go back in a heartbeat, mothballs and all.
