Disliked: Staff & service
Had a booking confirmation but were told after 5h drive they didn’t have a room and it was ‘resolved’ with Expedia. Expedia ended up compensating but seemed to have been a maintenance issue on Belvedere’s side and bad communication. I highly recommend the hideaway hotel who ‘rescued’ us.

Wir waren im Juni 2025 im Hotel Belvedere, Samara. Für dieses Hotel vergeben wir 10 von 5 möglichen Sternen. Gebucht hatten wir einen der beiden Luxus-Bungalows, die keine Wünsche offen lassen. Super eingerichtet bis hin zu Kaffeemaschine, Wasserkocher, Mikrowelle und einem kleinen Safe. Die Besitzer, Michaela und Manfred, haben hier ein kleines Paradies erschaffen. Sie kümmern sich sehr liebevoll um ihre Gäste und stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Das Personal ist freundlich, hilfsbereit und sehr fleißig. Die Zimmermädchen machen eine hervorragende Arbeit und die wunderschöne Anlage wird ständig gepflegt und verschönert. Wir waren hier für 13 Nächte und es blieben keine Wünsche offen. Das optionale Frühstücksbuffet ist reichlich und lecker. Es ist für jeden etwas dabei. Einfach ein tolles Urlaubsdomizil, dass wir sehr empfehlen können. Eine schöne Zeit dort wünschen euch Anja und Albert.

Room was small, low ceilings, inexpensive style drapes. sm fridge and safe. just a fairly small dark room. bathroom tiny but with towels and everything needed. small table and seats out front on tiny patio. the pool area is nice to meet folks and chat. loads of plants and veg around paths which basically create the beautiful surroundings that make you wanna come back!!

My husband and I really enjoyed this hotel. The beach is a 5-minute walk at most yet you are still off of the main street so there is no street noise. The landscaping on the grounds is beautiful and we loved out private balcony. Our only feedback is that the pillows are quite large, they could have been half the height and our necks would have been a bit more comfortable. Other than that perfect stay and we will be back!

Excellent place to stay in Samara

Almost everything with our stay was excellent. Only negative thing was internet kind of spotty. Sad that life has come to needing good internet sometimes. But Belvedere will be our first choice for next stay in Samara. It is excellent value.
