Reviews

  • Ivana from Croatia – 14 May 2025 (9/10)

    The location is perfect, the hotel is very nice and authentic.
    But the most important – the staff is amazing, welcoming and thoughtful. Katarina, the receptionist, found out feom my ID it was my birthday, so she prepared a lovely bday card with a small bottle of Rosè and a souvenir as a surprise in my bedroom.

    What could be improved: N/A.
