“A good budget option at outskirts of Dubrovnik ”

As we were moving with a rental car, it was preferred to have a hotel outside of Dubrovnik busy centre.

As we were moving with a rental car, it was preferred to have a hotel outside of Dubrovnik busy centre. Price was the main driver of choosing this hotel and overall I was satisfied with the selection. But don't expect any luxury, you pretty much get what you pay for. Breakfast was of average level but got the job done. Waterbus connection to the old town of Dubrovnik is a very good idea, check their timetables from the reception and also talk with the guy in the pier so that they really make this stop at Plat pier which wasn't the case with us. However this got sorted as we were not in any rush. The pool area was not in use which was a downer as it looked nice in the photos. Sound proof is not the best possible in the rooms as it's a rather old building. TV didn't work properly at all and the quality of signal was a trip back to the 80's from the current HD TV era. No lift and lots of stairs which some visitors may find problematic. The bar was cheap and decent to have a drink in the evening. But all in all a considerable budget option some 20mins drive away from Dubrovnik, you may end up paying 2-3 times more in some downtown hotel easily.

“Has the Potential to be so much more”

Would love to give this hotel 4 or even a 5 star but by the time my week stay was up it fell down to 3.

Would love to give this hotel 4 or even a 5 star but by the time my week stay was up it fell down to 3. The hotel is dated yet clean spacious and very nice for a 3 star hotel. its location was spot on with amazing views from our family room terrace. But after some time there i realised it was ran/owned by a lazy company feeding a very small budget in to it. The biggest flaws my room aircon worked for 2 out of 7 days but strongly only seamed to go in to error mode at midnight as if they were switching it off to save money so some uncomfortable nights sleep given it was 27 degrees of a night. There are ALLOT of steps don't underestimate the repeated steps comments in reviews. if you have disability's you wont stand a chance however if you have some difficulty's like myself being visually impaired a hand rail wouldn't go amiss. I had to use my partner to help me up and down every time because there are ZERO handrails anywhere and very low night-time lighting and there is just No excuse for this. The hotel breakfast area is the worst. That building needs knocked down and a new one built its just a old stuffy room full of grumpy staff with floral dining sets even my own grandmother had better taste than that for decor. Theirs an old bloke who could well be the manager who will give you a lecture on eating what they have if you ask for something. i asked for marmalade. orange jam. He monad we have non I'm not in the UK now i eat what we sell in Croatia. i then spent the whole week enjoying said orange jam because they DO have it he just doesn't even know what they serve. So this is very poor training and management. The cook breakfast i tried once.... enough said. BUT the BIGGEST disappointment is Entertainment. The bistro was basic food was ok, great staff though just need some fans outside. But for gods sake there's no need to be cruel and unusual with that keyboard player sinning songs from 1940s or whatever era while I'm trying to eat. They have this Amazing pool and bar area right in sunset view just SCREAMING for events or some form of evening entertainment. its a thriving business opportunity just going amiss. This whole hotel is great overall. and would defiantly go again but it has so much potential to be So much more with a little more effort from the company that runs it.
