Despite the great location and the breakfast terrace, it's just as disappointing as the previous reviews have stated. The reception staff are nice and friendly though, it's them who earn the second star (or maybe both..)
Confirming other reviews;
- false advertising, another building 200m away
- rooms are NOT the ones from pictures
- no hot water
- shower holder broken
- 4 missing laths and 2 broken
- moldy yellow walls
- found nails on the floor
- no A/C
- no wifi
- painting all over the carpet and balcony
- actually had a guy helping us carring our luggages until he literally walked faster (my gf had injured foot, we were slow) and lost us in the building without the telling us room number. Not kidding. We had to check 2 floors, 4 halls to find him.
- breakfast was funny too; guy was killing bees by drowning them in the marmalade.
We asked to be paid back, got a 10% as "sorry for he inconvenience".
View on the sea is great though.
This hotel is an in incredible location, the view from our balcony was amongst the nicest I've seen and it was perfectly situated for the bars, restaurants, and clubs in Hvar. The decor is perhaps overdue a revamp but it was clean enough. For the cost it was about as good as could be hoped for.
Terrible place!
To echo comments by others, location and views are fantastic but these are the only pros with this hotel. Rooms were dirty, bits all over the floor, dated bathrooms with broken shower heads and cracked tiles, no AC just a silly desk fan plugged into the only spare plug socket. Very poor security as front doors to rooms were light weight with ill fitting locks. Communal doors were left open 24 hours a day, so you couldn't leave anything of value in your room. I recommend that the owners undertake a full internal refurbishment if they want repeat customers.
That said i didnt let the hotel ruin my visit to Hvar, the place is absolutely awesome!
The second worst place I've ever stayed in. The first cost me £2 a night. On that basis I would say this was worth a reasonable £6. The rooms were poor. No power sockets, uncomfortable beds, no AC, flimsy doors and a dirty bathroom. The breakfast was an impressive 5/10. The view and location is its only saving grace. If you just need somewhere to sleep off a drink, it's ok. Anything more, I'd look elsewhere.
Rooms are pretty dreadful. Plus points - Breakfast wasn't too sad I guess and the view also very nice. If you have a choice, do not stay here.
I loved this hotel. It has a discreet Middle European charm, a fantastic view from the breakfast terrace onto the Franciscan Monastery opposite and we had a great view from out first floor loggia onto the whole bay of Hvar. I loved the old-world bathroom with a high built-in bath you really need some effort to step into, which I found endearing. The room does not have AC, but we consider air-conditioning unhealthy anyway and as the walls are thick it was naturally cool. Breakfast could have been better, but it was OK. The only downside were hordes of drunk lowly Brits who screamed at around 4 a.m. coming onto the city/hotel beach to jump and show off. Otherwise, a charming offer for an affordable price.
