Hotel Hvar

Located near the beach and Jelsa town, the property offers convenient access to amenities. The attentive staff provides excellent service and organizes enjoyable evening activities.

Expensive for an outdated hotel Run down, looks older than its 52yrs, especially the lift. Couldn’t find any smoke alarms or fire escapes separate from the main stairwell, restaurant food below par, crazy car park situation, max 20 sun loungers near the pool for over 200 rooms is inadequate. Staff friendly and trying their best in difficult circumstances but the hotel is overpriced for what it can offer.

We were put here overnight because the hotel we were supposed to be staying in was overbooked. We arrived at 11pm and pretty much went straight to bed although I was worried about getting stuck in the lift as it was so rickety. The room was very basic and dated but to be fair, the beds and pillows were comfortable which isn’t always the case, even in better hotels. This is not really the hotels fault but we were woken up really early by about a dozen women deciding that it was a really good idea to socialise on the landing. They were all middle aged women from mainland Croatia wearing matching sports tops. At 8pm, I could stand it no longer and went up and asked them to be quiet. They quieted down a little. When we went down to breakfast (the food was very poor), there were dozens of these women! After breakfast, we had a walk around the grounds. Everywhere looked really run down- only one out of the 4 tennis courts looked like it had been played on in the last year. The others were dilapidated or green with moss. The crazy golf looked rubbish, as if it hadn’t been used for years, as did the outdoor table tennis tables. The pool was really small for the size of the hotel although we didn’t look at the indoor pool. The only other nice thing was if you walk down to the coastline, there is a nice path that seemed to go both ways. As you can imagine, I would not recommend this hotel!
