Reviews

• Agnes from United Kingdom – 18 May 2025 (10/10)

  Very comfortable and atmospheric. Our room had a roof terrace overlooking the seafront, amazing view. Lovely decor and modern facilities – the best of both worlds.
  Steep stairs to get to the room – but there are stairs everywhere in Sibenik so that was to be expected!

• Colin from Malta – 17 May 2025 (10/10)

  The accomodation is a fully fledged hotel with stylish finishing and decor.
  We stayed in the historical suite which is the best room available on the first floor.
  Underground parking a few minutes walk.
  
  What could be improved: There is no lift.

• Jacqueline from United Kingdom – 15 May 2025 (10/10)

  Breakfast was amazing and staff so accommodating and lovely.
  The whole experience was excellent. 😊
  
  What could be improved: The stairs were difficult especially being on 3rd floor. Although we were aware when we booked.
  Staff carried bags up. 😊

• Harry from United States – 11 May 2025 (9/10)

  Loved the location, breakfast lovely room and warm friendly staff.
  
  What could be improved: Didn’t like having to use an iPad to turn off or on the lights, rather annoying.

• Karla from Austria – 11 May 2025 (10/10)

  The boutique hotel is amazing! We booked a top floor room ( no elevator- great for physique 😀).. but it paid every step taken to get to the top. The terrace opens a great views of the Sibenik bay. Sun is always there as its rooftop.
  The room is spacious with huge bathroom & toilette. Everything is modern, comfortable and very clean. Petra was great host from the first time i called till our checkout.
  Our breakfast was tasty and we could eat at 11:00- huge plus.

• Ainekova from Kazakhstan – 7 May 2025 (10/10)

  Absolutely loved my stay! The staff – Petra and Kent—were outstanding: warm, professional, and always ready to help. The hotel itself is incredibly chic and classy, with a fantastic location in the heart of Šibenik. The breakfast was superb, easily one of the best I’ve had at a hotel. Honestly, I wanted to extend my stay in Šibenik just to enjoy more time at the hotel. The bathroom amenities were top notch. You can feel that the hotel organized and run with love and the highest standards in mind.
  
  What could be improved: There was absolutely nothing I didn’t like

• David from Croatia – 2 May 2025 (10/10)

  This is a precious little gem
  We stayed two nights and the first night had the upstairs suite w/ rooftop hot tub..special
  Was already booked for second night so we’re moved to a different room with a magnificent alfresco ceiling..again delightful
  Two things to be aware of .no elevator so if you have heavy stuff could be an issue.
  No parking..however this is not so much a problem as you might perceive. The city parking garage is about a 3 minute level walk ( no steps to climb) and is very reasonable…also very easy for wheeled luggage.
  One additional comment needs to be made..the staff members we interacted with..Kent and Petra…could not have been more helpful..including moving our bags up and down..

• James from United States – 20 April 2025 (10/10)

  The hotel was perfectly located in old town. The staff were amazing, super friendly and helpful.

• Pedro from Spain – 20 April 2025 (10/10)

  Breakfast was fabulous.

• Mike from United Kingdom – 5 December 2024 (10/10)

  Modernised hotel with stunning decor. We were perhaps upgraded to the best room, which was huge, beautifully tiled and had had a walk-in wardrobe with a safe and stairs to rooftop patio. Excellent breakfast with several courses served in the foyer with a view of people passing in the pedestrianised walkway outside and the dining area opposite. Staff were obliging, helpful and informative.
  
  What could be improved: Too much technology – we had to log onto an i-pad with a PIN code to turn most lights on and off. We temporarily removed the need to log in each time and this change should be done permanently! No lift, as is often the case in historic hotels (it was once a palace) but staff insisted on carrying our cases.
