Hotel Ambassador

Great stay

Perfect location on the main street, with fenced parking if you arrive by car. Large (single, in my case) room and bathroom, all perfectly cleaned. Gentle staff. Good breakfast. The only minus is that air conditioning was pointed directly towards the head of the bed, so difficult to sleep with it turned on.

Great location. Right on the Main Street. The lady on reception was very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was Ok and what I expected for a Breakfast in Slovakia I would have given this a good for the above. However, the rooms are old and really need modernisation. The heating was on too high and I couldn't find a way of lowering it. The bed was small (single) and I could not get the shower to work (the connections to the wall were hanging off) The bedroom needs a facelift. They are old.

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

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.
