Super hotel in historic location with great views.
This is a fantastic hotel, within the old fortress at Novi Sad and with amazing views over the Danube and the city. A little bit away from the main town centre, but taxis are cheap by UK standards and with four restaurants inside the fortress you don't have to trek into town for the evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful - printed off our boarding passes from online checkin for example. The double rooms on the first floor are more expensive but better rooms, the cheaper rooms on the second floor are in the attic (old servants quarters no doubt), comfortable but lack the views and ambience. A few niggles: several of our group had problems with the Air-con; the water temperature in the shower in my room did not stay constant at all; and they charged EUR5 for losing a plastic card-key - which for a EUR100 per night hotel is a bit much. But overall, the best place in town if you can afford it.

Great stay and location
Nice hotel located in a hill that overlooks the Danube river. Close to the town Center although no local shop available. Room with river view was big enough and hotel very quiet. You feel as if you are in a castle.

Stay in the 2nd largest fortress in Europe
I pulled up to the fortress and was surprised to drive through the fortifications to park at the hotel inside the fortress. The rooms have beautiful views of Novi Sad which is an easy 15-20 min walk across the bridge. Nightime is lovely walking & dining on the ramparts with musicians playing the night we were there. Service was wonderful.

Good hotel but small rooms for a 5 star...
Location isn't that close to center (not at your doorstep) but next to the river. Arrived evening, hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were a bit too small for a 5 star hotel, and for a much cheaper price you can stay to hotel Centar (very central location) which has much better rooms and facilities. Bit norther you have hotel Park as another great option. Given the options available in Novi Sad I wouldn't have it as a first option, but still a fair one.

19th century hotel on Petrovaradin fortress
Hotel was in historic part of city of Novi Sad, accross the river. Rooms were in style of 19th century, very comfortable. Breakfast buffet was very good, mostly Serbian cousine. Three good restaurants just a walk away from the hotel entrance. Staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful. Would definetely recommend to other travellers.

The gem of Novi Sad!
Wow!!!!!!!!! To have the honor and privelage to stay in the most iconic site of Novi Sad and overlook the entire city was humbling. The hotel is as five star as they come - beautiful, graceful and amazing staff to compliment it all. I am fortunate to travel to Novi Sad regularly and one thing is for absolute certain - I will never stay anywhere else!

Fantastic Location
We stayed only one night but would definitely return to this hotel. It was in a great location with fabulous views of the Danube and Novi Sad. The gym was small but adequate. The room compact and bijou but very nice, it was a family suite. All in all fantastic for the price we paid.

review for the Leopold, NOT the Leopold Garni
Although I originally booked the Garni Hotel Leopold, I was given a room in the other (sister) hotel, the (classic) Leopold. The hotel is quite nice although the location is better suited to leisure travelers than to business travelers who need to be at the Novi Sad fairgrounds or in the center. I can imagine that in the summer it would be lovely to be up in the Petrovaradin fortress with a view of the Danube and the town but for me it was a bit out of the way. That said, the rooms were nice (old fashioned furniture) and clean and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent for a smaller hotel with cooked to order off the menu and a few additional items set out buffet style (including prosciutto). Toiletries were fine and the internet worked well (lots of different hotspots in the hotel with the same password, so you have to find a new connection in your room vs. the lobby vs. the dining room). I tend to focus on the faults, so here they are in no particular order. The shower in the bathroom was a bit small and it drained poorly, I found myself standing in a pool of water quite quickly and although I reported it, maintenance wasn't able to fix it during the day I was out. The curtains aren't blackout and so light comes into the room in the morning. In the winter that's not a problem but in the summer when the sun comes up at 4 a.m. in Serbia, it might be an issue for some. Finally, the TV is older style (tube).

Exclusive Hotel
Easy, comfortable, nice environment, very polite personnel, excellent view to the river and the city especially during the night. Very interesting monasteries and traditional "salas" (rural tourism hotels) in a distance of 15 Km. The hotel is situated in the old castle of the city! The rooms are exactly as they are in the pictures

The Hotel Leopold is part of a castle that overlooks the Danube and the city of Novi Sad. The location is good, the staff helpful and courteous, the rooms good enough and the breakfast - something to behold. Check it out!

Upea vanhanajan hotelli kaupungin yllä
Näkymä joen yli keskustaan oli mitä parhain ja sijainti kaunis ja rauhallinen.Hotellin ympäristössä asui 4 kissaa, jotka saattelivat aina matkalaiset somasti. Hotelli oli erittäin vanhanaikainen, mutta upea ja ylellinen. Aulabaarissa kannattaa nauttia hyvät drinkit ja olla osa historiaa.

Общее разочарование.
Заказали услуги СПА к 8 часам утра. В это время сауна была ещё не включена. Это не помешало включить в счёт дополнительные 40 Евро. Завтраки не выдерживают никакой критики. Ни по ассортименту, ни по качеству. Стандартные номера маленькие, под крышей, плохо обогревается. В душевой вообще был холод. Нет шампуня и душ-геля, вообще ничего. Все члены семьи были разочарованы.

Keine 4sterne-wert
Da wir zur zeit des exitfestivals dort waren, mussten wir unsere koffer 2km hinauf tragen.. es gab keinen pickup service vom hotel. Auch den weg zurück durften wir laufen. Wir mussten 4 mal nachfragen um unsere betten zusammenzuschieben. Am letzten abend hatte es das personal dann tatsächlich noch hingekriegt... Das einzige das schön war, war die aussicht. Auf getränke/essen/rechnung könnt ihr locker 1 stunde warten, obwohl das restaurant praktisch leer war.. ungenügend für ein 4sternhotel. Ich empfehle im stadtzentrum zu buchen, preis/leistung dort ist um einiges besser.

Hotellopphold med habsburgerstil
Hotellet ligger inne på området til den gamle festningen på motsatt side av Donau fra bysentret i Novi Sad. Atkomst med bil er ikke enkel. Man må først finne riktig bru over elva, deretter riktig labyrintløype gjennom festningsområdet. Vel framme får man lønn for strevet. Hotellet er i interiør og innredning holdt i gjennomført habsburgerstil med stor eleganse og med personale som yter personlig sørvis med stil. I en velværeavdeling kan man bruke boblebad og badstu, og man kan få massasje. Vil man inn til bysentret med mange spisesteder, anbefales en drosje. Det går raskt og koster en bagatell.
