Great hotel in a great location!!

Lovely wee hotel in an awesome location! Lovely staff throughout - always happy to help! Extremely clean too - which you’d expect from a 4 star hotel but don’t always see!! Only very minor negative mentioning to management would be that although breakfast is lovely with plenty on offer, perhaps a little change on options from day to day would make it even better!!

Renovated Hotel by the beach

Very Nice and newly renovated hotel in front of the beach. The staff was service minded always with a smile. The area was calm with mostly local tourists, although with a few really Nice restaurants. Would rekommend a lunch at Baletna Skola and dinner at Mala Mora. The Hotel had a small but very clean pool.

A queen or king room was ordered. The room received had two small twin beds. No hot water. After 5 minutes of waiting had to take a cold shower. The desk people were friendly and accommodating with check in, directions and transportation.

Such a lovely quaint little hotel and very conveniently placed for travel to Split Airport and Ferry Port. Yet also just far enough out of the city to be so peaceful and quiet. The area has nice walks and cycle trails, easy access into Split. Options for a sea swim right outside the hotel. Great views from the balcony rooms and a very reasonable price too.

Positiv: - sehr nettes Personal - kostenlose Parkplätze verfügbar - kostenlose Strandtücher - strandnah Negativ: - alles andere als sauber: Wandfliesen dreckig, Klobrille mit Fäkalien etc. Täglicher Reinigungsdienst saugt/wischt nicht, überall Haare - morgens sehr laut somit kein Ausschlafen möglich - sehr kleiner und kalter Pool - wenige Liegestühle, teilweise zu hart oder zu alt - Frühstücksbüffet: immer dasselbe und nur das Notwendigste - Balkons auf der 2. Etage nicht überdacht: entweder pure Sonne oder alles nass wenns regnet Fazit: Preis-Leistung: überteuert! Umgebung: im Ort nix los: somit muss man nach Trogir oder Split fahren

Als wir am Tag unserer Ankunft ins Hotelzimmer ankamen, sah alles zunächst sauber aus. Als wir die Räumlichkeiten genauer begutachteten, sahen wir im Badezimmer trotz Sauberkeits Siegel auf der Toilette sehr viel Dreck. Schimmel an der Decke, verstopfter Abfluss voll mit Haaren, sowie Haare an den Armaturen der Dusche. Alles war voller kalkflecken auf den Waschbecken Schrank. Duschkopf war auch voller Kalk und funktionierte nicht richtig. Zudem gab es nur eiskaltes Wasser, was in einem winzigen Strahl rauskam, wenn man das überhaupt Wasserstrahl nennen kann. Nachdem wir auch darauf aufmerksam machten, wurde am nächsten Tag das Zimmer trotzdem nicht gesäubert, woraufhin wir selbst aus eigener Tasche Desinfektion kaufen mussten und grob alles säuberten. Die Terrasse mit den Stühlen war auch komplett dreckig und an den Gardinen waren Flecken. Die Lage ist zwar direkt am Strand, jedoch sehr klein, extrem steinig und voller Algen. Sah eher aus wie ein See Abschnitt für Hunde zum Baden. Das einzige positive was ich nennen kann, waren die sehr freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Mädels am Empfang. Putzpersonal aber sehr unfreundlich. Dieses Hotel sollte sich nochmal umbennen, da dies absolut nichts mit einem 4 Sterne Hotel zutun hat. Zumal noch der Preis viel zu überteuert dafür ist. Da waren wir vergleichsweise bei unseren anderen Unterkünften die saubere und schöne Apartments waren viel günstiger dran. Man sollte sich von den positiven Bewertungen nicht täuschen lassen.

Good beds and excellent staff. availability of pool towels for the beach was a plus. good self serve breakfast with many options. the only downside was the lack of a view from the outdoor patio of our room which was on the side of the hotel. the booking led us to believe there would be a water view. Parking was also a bit tricky, though typical for Europe.
