  : Location was great. Along with the breakfast the buffet lunch and the dinner was of great help as there were not many restaurants nearby, one has to walk to Stari Grad to for any shopping.
  : The facility is very very old, do not match to the photos. Even an old facility could be well maintained and cleaned. The beer and wine served during buffet dinner felt like diluted.

  : Just the location.
  : 1.- At sweltering heat there were no cold drinking water facilities nowhere in the hotel after the meals time. However, plenty of cold water for sale at 3.5 EURO for a 250 ml bottle. This is even (in my mind) life endangering situation as hotel guests age group was over 55 (majority), many of whom, presumably, have serious health issues.2.- While the food was overall satisfactory, it is self-served in the old commie style (self-service) worker's restaurant, with no food trays provided. Therefore, by the time one gathers up all of the food items he/she needs, in order to complete your meal, one have to make between 5-8 relatively medium distanced walks around the restaurant, which is simply-tormenting and exhausting, and probably set so in order for the guests to give up on, or reduce their food consumption.3.- No Wi-Fi (internet) available in the rooms. The only area where one could get any Wi-Fi was around 10-15 meters in the vicinity of the reception area;-horrible.4.- No ventilation or a/c anywhere in the common areas of the hotel. The only "cooling" one would get (outside one's room) was around reception and restaurant area by lunch time only. During dinner time, those areas are not much different than a sauna-another health hazard and potential life endangerment.5.- Our room (including bathroom), and I presume the same applies to overwhelming majority of the hotel other rooms, was not more than 10 sq. meters, of whom 4-4.5 sq. meters falls to the bathroom only, added double bed in the middle of the rest of the room, we had no more than 2.5 sq. meters of living space to share for 2 people-horrible, and another health hazard as well.6.- The hotel itself is too old ( build probably somewhere early 50-60s last century), looks well ruined and wrecked leaving unavoidable impression that it is poorly managed and/ or maintained, as bites of the time passage are more than obvious.

  : Staff was absolutely amazing, they were caring, attencious and sincere. The hotel itself is a gem, its an older hotel but delivers a lot for its two stars. A lot of croatian families were there, atmosphere was very nice and cool. It is not a five star hotel or pretends to be it, but serves good food and lodgind for a fair price in a very nice location. So I have to reccomend it!
  : Initially the bed did not have the topping for a couple, but after asking the receptionis quickly set that out for us. It was all perfect actually.
