Beautiful balcony view

This hotel was in a lovely area with beautiful views and scenery. There was a ferry boat into Stari grad if you didn't want to walk and the nearby beach was clean, quiet and the water a lovely blue. Breakfast was easy, and there was a bar where you could have speciality cakes and ice creams. The service was good & efficient. If you want a chilled out holiday then this is the place for you .

Worse hotel in hvar. Has a reputation for it too!!

I've traveled all over and this was the most disgusting hotel room I've ever stepped foot in. Basically a kids summer camp turned nasty hotel once in a while! Even the girl working the desk admitted to it being "not very nice". Outdated is putting it lightly. I couldn't have slept in bed if I was paid. Was on trip with boyfriend and we were looking for something in or near hvar. Website is totally useless and plays up location etc. 40 min from hvar via taxi on windy road in middle of random town. It was a nightmare. Luckily we found a room at the hotel Adriana in hvar town but we we're miserable the one night we stayed there. They put us up in their "nicer" hotel just down the path which was also really gross. Just don't stay here unless you're a child with a large group looking for a camp getaway.

An old big hotel, which has not been renovated and has seen better days. Package tours are made there. A beach was nearby, a hundred meters. Not near the centre or ferry harbour. You need a taxi or car to get there.

The worst hotel in the world!

The hotel was extremely basic and not worth the money we paid to stay there. The room was never cleaned during our stay and there was no air con which meant you had to keep the window open all night to try and make it better which it didn't as it was too hot and there was constant noise added to fact that guests would rise at 6am to loudly move sround and reserve their sunbed meaning that we never had one and never got one decent nights sleep. The beds in the room were small, so small that a fully grown msn couldn't lie straight. The food in the hotel was sub- standard and barely edible. The eating area resembled a school hall and the staff were unapproachable, unhelpful and unfriendly. The whole experience made us extremely angry about the money we paid to stay there. I strongly urge people NOT to say here! Along with the fact that the beds

STORT forbedringspotensial-ikke for astmatikere

Rent, hyggelig og hjelpsom betjening. Fantastisk utsikt fra rommet, ok frokost/lunsj buffet, rent saltvannbasseng med god størrelse… Men, Katastrofe for meg som astmatiker og allergiker at det fortsatt er vegg til vegg tepper på rommene… jeg hadde ikke høye forventninger siden det var ett 2 stjernes hotell, men ting som manglende lyspærer og knust vindu burde vært ordnet (gav beskjed om ødelagt lyspære første dagen, den ble ikke byttet under mitt ti dagers opphold). Det kunne også hjulpet mye med et lite kjøleskap/minibar på rommet der man kunne holde kaldt vann. Mellom 23.00-08.00 (når basseng baren var stengt) kunne man ikke kjøpe kald drikke… dette kunne man lett ha løst ved at det kunne vært et lite kiosk tilbud i resepsjonen f.eks. Tilgang på solsenger var også dårlig organisert, og desperate turister «reserverte» plass i 4-5 tiden om morgenen, for å deretter ikke benytte seg av solsengen for langt ut på formiddagen (de fleste reserverte solsengene sto ubenyttede fram til ca 11-12…. Dette burde hotellet håndtere bedre. Overpriset (jeg booket via Hotels.com, prisen ble ca 1000kr dyrere enn først oppgitt, mulig pga vekslingskurs? Jeg betalte ca 100eur pr natt for halv pension snakket med mange andre gjester, de betalte mellom 60-80 euro for full pension…. Skjønte ikke logikken, annet enn at mitt rom muligens hadde bedre beliggenhet?

Je ne le recommande absolument pas !

L'hôtel n'est pas du tout équipé pour recevoir des jeunes. Pas de clim, juste un ventilo, on étouffe la nuit, il fait encore plus chaud que dehors. Odeur de moisissure dans les chambres, odeur de nourriture depuis la réception, pas agréable du tout. Le ménage n'est pas fait, les femmes de ménage ne changent que les serviettes... Les abeilles et guêpes ont des nids dans les balcons. Le personnel de la réception n'était pas très accueillant au départ mais a commencé à l'être un peu plus après le 3ème jour quand ils ont vu que nous n'étions pas satisfait. Le petit-déjeuner est vraiment pas bon ! La wifi ne fonctionne pas ! Sinon, paysage magnifique et bel emplacement, un peu excentré du centre, à 15-20 minutes de marche. La vue depuis la chambre est juste exceptionnelle !

heureusement le personnel est aimable

l'emplacement est faux : ce n'est pas dans le centre de Stari Grad comme indiqué sur la carte mais à 1,5 Km et pas d'autre liaison qu'un bateau taxi payant 1 fois pas heure et pas l'après midi. Tout est dans un état déplorable, pas de climatisation, des abords de piscine sale mais ils passent le Karcher à 7h du matin pour réveiller tout le monde et un petit déjeuner où il n'y a absolument rien de mangeable. A éviter absolument. Heureusement Stari Grad vaut le coup
