The hotel had average rooms that lacked a fridge and weren't cleaned during the stay but had a comfortable bed and a balcony offering good views of the sea. The service was very friendly and helpful despite some noise in the hallway. The location was very close to Hvar Town center with great views from the hillside. The dining experience offered plenty of options but pre-cooked breakfast items could have better timing. Overall, the hotel is spacious, modern, and clean but would benefit greatly from having fridges in the rooms and improved room cleaning services.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very well decorated and modern, albeit a bit small. The beds were extremely comfortable, and I enjoyed the quirky design. However, the service was lacking in local knowledge, and the late-night noise disrupted my stay. The location was convenient for accessing attractions but had its challenges due to the uphill walk. Dining options were average, and while the facilities were adequate, the levels of staff support were low.
