Hotel Ambassador

Great stay

This hotel is located on the main street, Hlavna ulica, where many of the main sites are located, so your close to the sites and so many restaurants and shops. The room was a little on the small size but just right for someone travelling alone and the furnishings were very nice, all around the hotel. The gentleman I dealt with at the front desk was ever so helpful and friendly and spoke English very well. There was a stocked mini fridge and prices were reasonable. Bathroom was of good size and spotless. If you walk down that main st, past the Cathedral, you'll come to a square where there is a memorial to Russian soldiers who died there in WW2. To the left is a very large 3 story mall. On the near side is a bus stop where many busses stop including #23 to the airport. At the airport, there is a nice little aviation museum for those interested. One word of warning about the restaurants in Kosice. I found they have some long wait times for a meal. One place told me it would be 1 1/2 hours to get a meal, so ask first. The breakfast at the hotel is good.It was great too that its price was included in the price of the room. Most I've been to, you have to pay extra. If by chance you are taking a train from Bratislava, try to get a reserved seat. Your probably best going to the Slovakian railroad site. It's about a 5 1/2 ride with numerous stops. An expres train runs on certain days that has fewer stops which I got but 3 times I had to move out of the seat I was in, not fun when your dealing with luggage in a 6 seat compartment. I was lucky that my roll away was sturdy enough that I could use it for a couple of hours I was sitting in the hallway.

Hotel is great location right on Main Street of Košice. Everything is walking distance from here! The room was nice but a little dated in a lot of ways. Fixtures and fittings weren’t great in bedroom. Bathroom looked new and stylish however. Very disappointed with the body/hair soap provided however. This looked the part but felt extremely cheap/low quality and stripped my hair completely of any natural oils, and left my skin red and sore. Also, there was literally nowhere to put anything on the side of the sink. I had to put all toiletries on the floor while I was here, which was annoying. Most luxurious hotels you don’t need to put your toiletries on the floor around you. The bed and duvet etc were very comfortable and felt of real quality, so can’t fault how well I slept. Breakfast was nice and good selection of foods available. The lights on landings on my way up to my room stayed on for about 5 seconds then turned off automatically, which was very annoying when trying to take luggage up or just trying to walk up the stairs in complete darkness. All in all great location, and with some more attention to detail over certain things, this would have been a really nice stay. Thanks to all staff also who were very polite and helpful.

I did not like my room. Exception was the bathroom though. It was great but even there where little Problems. Power poit only works If you turn light on. To so good if you want To go to sleep and charge tablet at the same time. Bath towels where very much past the USE BY DATE, Thin and not absorbing water well… Shower and toilet was great. As my room 209 did not have windows out, But some kind of corridor it was not possible to have Window open…..I did not have a great feeling About the mat glass….floor to ceiling… And facing tha walkway or corridor,whatever it was…. Most disappointing was the warm fridge and most Of the power points not working. Even the one by The bed,,, I must have power point there for my CPAP machine…. I could not work out as why so Many thing are wrong…electrically.. So I opened the fuse box and I was shocked to Find most where actually turned off. So I just turned all on and it was than great.All working. But surely that should not be up to the client to do it…. The was a tissue box in the bathroom. Great! But only 3 thin pares came out …it was epty… Pillow- best not to comment,bed was OK though. A/C sort of worked…in a funny way… 3 am I was very hot…. And it supposed to be working… Than TV set. Good selection of chanels. Yes,great! But about 29-30 minutes later it turned it self off. You had to re start and start searching for the chanel You were watching earlier. That being said not all rooms are the same… I had a small single roo Reception great

Value for money is poor with a room-rate the same as nearby brand hotels with superior amenities

My partner and I recently stayed at The Ambassador Hotel in Košice, and our experience left us with mixed feelings. Despite its promising location within Košice, the hotel overall did not live up to our expectations, especially considering the price point. Upon arrival, the check-in process was unexpectedly lengthy. With only one receptionist available who was preoccupied with a demanding couple ahead of us, we were left waiting for an uncomfortably long time. The procedure itself felt unnecessarily tedious, requiring details that seemed excessive for a simple check-in. The hotel's condition significantly detracted from our stay. It appeared tired and in need of maintenance, with visible wear and tear throughout the premises. Our room was particularly disappointing; from a malfunctioning bathroom door handle, water damage around the sink, to a low-pressure shower and a lack of proper heating. The absence of a blackout blind, a clunky TV menu, and a carpet that was both faded and worn further contributed to our room's lackluster ambiance. Additionally, the tea and coffee amenities were unsatisfactorily tucked away in the wardrobe, and the presence of a cheap plastic trolley in the bathroom was not what we expected from a hotel that claims luxury status. Breakfast was another letdown, with a noticeable lack of labeling on the food items, including allergen information. The options were limited for those who do not eat pork or are allergic to eggs. Although soya milk was available upon request, it was not readily accessible. While the hotel's location in Košice is undeniably convenient, other aspects such as the wellness spa left much to be desired. The spa required a private booking at an additional cost of 25 euros and a two-hour preparation time, which seemed unreasonable for what is marketed as a luxury amenity. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. However, the overall state of the hotel, combined with the disappointing breakfast and the restrictive access to the wellness spa, means we are unlikely to return. For a hotel that positions itself within the luxury market, The Ambassador Hotel falls short in delivering the quality and service one would expect for the price.

Everything. Our first visit to Kosice so booked this hotel after a bit of research and we weren't disappointed. About €8 in a Bolt from the airport. The hotel is right on the main street,which is pedestrianised, so as central as you can be. The staff were all extremely friendly and professional. Our room was great, plenty big enough, spotlessly clean and with aircon. The bed was excellent and very comfy. Although in the centre of town it is very quiet. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice. One day they had a run out of a few things but we were there about 30 mins from finish. If your staying here book the spa, it's fantastic. It's €30 but you get your own private spa for 90 minutes. It has a jacuzzi, sauna, heated relaxing chairs and is a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures. Nice bar too. Didn't eat in the restaurant so can't comment. I would definitely stay here again.

Kosice may have been a big let down, but I cannot fault this hotel. Very smart and well operated. Pleasant staff, great breakfast. Although I do not recommend Kosice overall, the location is perfect.

The staff were extremely knowledgeable and particularly helpful. The hotel has a boutique feel. The room’s furnishings and appointments were nicely done great condition. You can tell they pay attention to detail. Recommend this hotel as I have been traveling Europe and this place stands out in quality at a fair price. Rick Rakusin Atlanta, Georgia
