“Underrated hotel”

I’m not sure why Jet2 only class this hotel as a 3 star. I have stayed in worse 4 stars. I stayed in the annexe block directly next door with wonderful views over the bay.(no lift though) First of all, it’s the little things which a lot of hotels don’t do but this hotel does do that really impres... more

I’m not sure why Jet2 only class this hotel as a 3 star. I have stayed in worse 4 stars. I stayed in the annexe block directly next door with wonderful views over the bay.(no lift though) First of all, it’s the little things which a lot of hotels don’t do but this hotel does do that really impressed me. A kettle in the room with tea & coffee, a FREE safe (that’s a first for me and very welcome) annddd…hallelujah!! a hotel that cares enough to leave a 750ml glass bottle of water in your room to get you off to a good start. Fine bathroom, excellent balcony, bed ok. Air conditioning unit in corner of room was quite noisy and not very effective but being October, it wasn’t overly warm at night. Breakfast was fine with enough choice, if you get a chance, sit on the outdoor terrace to eat, overlooking the pool and bay, lovely way to start the day. The pool was big with plenty of beds available. This hotel also operates as a saga holidays hotel, so a lot of mature guests, so certainly not noisy. Mlini is quite a low key little town, so the hotel fits in quite well. There is a kiosk near reception to buy your ferry tickets into Dubrovnik at €15 return. Lovely 25 minute trip, so much better than an Uber and the terminal for the ferry is 2 minutes walk. 2 fairly quiet bars just a 3 minute stroll away with a row of waterfront restaurants a little further. Overall I just can’t grumble at all. Note for the manager: Please keep on with the free safe, kettle and bottle of water, it was great to see.

“Great location of hotel - a little old fashioned”

We stayed here for a week on a bed and breakfast basis early in the season. Great location of hotel, with lovely views of the sea. Good-sized bedroom with comfortable bed, if a little old-fashioned. Breakfast room bright and busy. Self-service buffet with continental spread and salads and hot dishes. Replenished very quickly. Tea and coffee machines and soft drink machines. We had our evening meal here on one occasion - again buffet and fairly limited choice and quite pricey. Lovely grounds around the hotel. Nice walk down to the hotel pool. Only sunbathed there once as early season. Plenty of sunbeds. Pool bar at other side. Very low key entertainment in the evenings. Usually a keyboard player and singer. Pleasant evenings spent there. Bar staff so incredibly friendly. Nice terrace outside to watch the sunset. The hotel is obviously used by tour groups. We saw a Saga party with their own private drinks room. Lovely walk down to the sea where the hotel has other restaurants. Short walk along the seafront to Mlini town centre where you can catch boats to Dubrovnik and Cavtat = very regular service. The hotel itself also runs a shuttle service to Dubrovnik. Great stay and we will definitely be back.

“Lovely location and views. Good hotel at a decent price.”

Really well placed hotel in a quiet resort. We were Bed and Breakfast basis. Breakfast was fine with a good choice of hot and cold options.Rooms a bit dated but very clean with a fridge and a kettle for tea and coffee making facilities. Room cleaned daily. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel.

“Great place for a holiday ”

We stayed here 25th September until 1st October. Our room was good, housekeeping very good. The food at this hotel was excellent. Loads of choice.

We stayed here 25th September until 1st October. Our room was good, housekeeping very good. The food at this hotel was excellent. Loads of choice. You can sit out on the veranda for your meal when available. The only grumble was there were too many people. One travel agent had a coach load of people going out every day from 8.00 - 5.00. So the dining room was packed with them. At one point someone nearly knocked me over in the rush for the food. I had a deep tissue massage which was a mistake she applied too much pressure and I ached afterwards instead of feeling better.
