Casa BARvaria

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Casa BARvaria? The name makes it sound like some cheesy beer hall theme hotel, but honestly, it’s way more sophisticated than that. I mean, there’s definitely a nod to Bavarian culture woven throughout – you’ll spot it in the wood detailing and some of the artwork – but it’s done with this subtle elegance that actually works really well.

The first thing that hit me walking into the lobby was how they managed to make a 4-star place feel genuinely cozy without being stuffy. The lighting’s just right (not those harsh overhead fluorescents that make you look dead), and there’s this warm buzz of conversation that tells you locals actually hang out here too. The check-in was smooth – none of that “we need fifteen forms of ID” nonsense – and the staff seemed to know their stuff about the area without being pushy about recommendations. I stayed on the third floor and was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was, even though you can tell this place gets busy during peak times.

What really sets Casa BARvaria apart, though, is the attention to those little details that most hotels completely miss. The bathroom actually had decent water pressure (thank god), the bed was firm enough that you don’t sink into oblivion, and – this might sound weird – but the pillows were just the right thickness. You could tell they’d thought about what people actually need versus what looks good in photos. The minibar wasn’t criminally overpriced either, which is honestly rare these days. I spent some time in their bar area one evening, and it’s got this authentic vibe where you might end up chatting with someone who’s lived in the neighborhood for twenty years. The cocktails were solid too – they clearly know their way around a proper drink menu. Sure, it’s not going to blow your mind with cutting-edge design or over-the-top luxury, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want. It’s the kind of place where you can actually relax without feeling like you’re performing “vacation” for Instagram.

Reviews

• Daniel from United Kingdom – 15 April 2024 (9/10)

  Great apartment for large groups.
  
  What could be improved: Curtains could have been thicker in some rooms.

• Natasha from United Kingdom – 24 December 2023 (9/10)

  Unusual building. Had enough bedrooms to suit the whole group. Loved the bar as a kitchen and big table for everyone to sit around.
  
  Host generous and left a create if cold beer for us
  
  What could be improved: The shower room had a leak and had to be mopped and buckets emptied twice a day. Bathroom seemed far away from some bedrooms.

• Mark from United Kingdom – 2 February 2023 (9/10)

  Location was great – so close to Aldi/Lidl, sports bar around the corner, easy access to centre of town, and airport and tasty pizzeria nearby.
  
  Simple but clean bedroom and bathroom facilities; the real pièce de résistance is the central living/dining room – superb space for all guests to eat and have a few beers!
  
  What could be improved: Property could do with a little more kitchen and cookware e.g. baking trays, cafetière, wooden spoons, serving utensils, etc.

• Pat from United States – 27 December 2024 (9/10)

• Herve from Thailand – 15 November 2024 (4/10)

  The location
  
  What could be improved: Very hard to arrive at many constructions around
  Also quite dirty this is like a guest house for young bag packers

• Studievereniging from Netherlands – 6 January 2023 (9/10)

  De bar was een leuke toevoeging en de woonkamer was heel prettig in gebruik. De themakamers waren ook heel tof!
  
  What could be improved: Een luchtje op het toilet kon geen kwaad en de achterste toilet kon niet meer op slot

• Els from Netherlands – 15 April 2025 (8/10)

  Thomas reageert snel en vriendelijk. locatie is fantastisch, huis is erg ruim, prima bedden.
  
  What could be improved: verduisterende gordijnen zou fijn zijn. Was erg licht in de slaapkamers.

• Michał from Poland – 1 February 2024 (9/10)

  Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, sporo miejsc parkingowych przy ulicy. Fenomenalny pomysł aby pub przerobić na noclegownię. Wygodne pokoje i łóżka. Bar z kompletnie wyposażoną kuchnią i duży telewizor w salonie zapewniają wspaniały relaks po całym dniu pracy
