A true five-star hotel

Our stay at Hotel Maria was nothing short of exceptional. From the very first moments, we were treated like royalty — the service was professional, warm, and flawless throughout. The room itself was outstanding: spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with a private sauna. Every detail had been thoughtfully considered, making the atmosphere both luxurious and cozy. The Spa was a true highlight. Even when fully booked, it never felt crowded or overwhelming — instead, it was calm, serene, and incredibly relaxing. Special requests were handled with impressive care and attention to detail. From arranging my favorite type of pillow to surprising us with a lovely birthday greeting, the staff made us feel genuinely valued. An extra touch that stood out was the overall ambiance of the hotel: it smelled wonderfully fresh and clean everywhere we went, which added to the sense of comfort and well-being. Hotel Maria exceeded our expectations on every level. We left feeling completely relaxed and pampered, already looking forward to returning.

WOW!!! This hotel is simply amazing!!!! It is not in the city center but quite close. The staff is amazing, super friendly. The rooms are the most luxurious rooms I have stayed in a while, it most be brand new! The bathroom is super luxurious with awesome amenities. The restaurant downstairs is amazing, and the setting just couldn’t be better. Don’t even think about staying anywhere else.

We visited the spa for a couples package. From the moment we walked in every member of staff we encountered was amazing and made the day extra special. The value for what we had was extremely reasonable and we are both very glad we added this to our trip!
Restful Night Stay

After a long flight, I had a very restful night in a very comfortable bed. My room was in the historic building and was a bit of walk from the reception with two different elevators. The hotel is centrally located and I was able to walk to all the sights. The onsite restaurant is excellent.
Watch out for campaign pricing

We tried to book a "flash sale" price. After member log-in in the reservation system prices pumped up and the flash sale was no longer available. We have heard that the hotel has some financial difficulties and now we don't wonder that all. As locals we would have liked to support a local hotel for a staycation but now instead we saved all the money.
