Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a great view from the room but falls short with old worn carpet, soiled sofa, and strong smell of cleaning agents. The service is a mixed bag, with some helpful staff but others being less accommodating. The location is amazing with top-notch facilities, offering a good value vacation with outstanding views of the town.
The hotel's rooms may need some serious renovation, but overall, I would recommend it. They are basic but comfortable enough despite being old and outdated. However, the cleanliness and fantastic sea view make up for it.
The hotel rooms were considerably smaller and slightly outdated, with a limited number of power outlets and an old TV. However, they were still reasonably clean. The hotel itself was OK but lacked a luxurious touch, with a rather small shower cabinet. On the positive side, the room was nicely spacious.
Staying at this hotel felt like a journey back in time to a romantic and luxurious era, with a fantastic view of Rovinj from the jetty. The rooms were cool and comfortable, offering a glimpse of the old town, although they felt a bit old-fashioned and small. The service was exceptional, especially thanks to Robert at the reception, creating a warm and hospitable environment. The location was superb, away from the busy center of Rovinj and overlooking the clear blue sea. The dining experience was mouth-watering, with a wide selection of delicious foods, though there were minor issues with one staff member. Overall, a delightful stay with a touch of nostalgia.
The hotel is a hidden gem on its own private island with stunning views of Rovinj. The rooms were more than adequate, comfortable, and very clean, offering amazing views. The service was friendly and accommodating, but communication about hotel amenities could be improved. The location is a peaceful island paradise with easy access to Rovinj. The dining experience was outstanding with a wide variety of freshly prepared dishes. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing the overall stay.
