The bed was two twins put together. It was comfortable but to make it even better it would be nice to have a mattress topper.

Good location. Family run but three young brothers and a second family.

Authenticity & Character
While this was a heritage hotel, with well stocked mini-fridge. If you are interested in aesthetics like architect, the authenticity was a little off in the patio and interior.

Great central location. Nice steps
Staff
Run by two families. Both nice. Staff was the best part of this location.

I loved staying in Hvar and this hotel added to the experience. The town was so lovely and warm, and this felt like being in a hidden Mediterranean villa with its location and open windows both in the room and the open courtyard of the hotel restaurant. The shower and toilet configuration were a bit awkward and the room got very wet from not having a shower door, but this was remedied with several towels. Breakfast was delicious, and the staff, while fairly incognito, were professional. Read more

The service in this hotel was amazing. To start they carried your luggage from the pier to the hotel (a lot of stairs), second they upgraded our room without us asking. Just because it was available. They open the kitchen earlier with full breakfast the day we were leaving just for us. Everyone from the front desk person to the cook were extremely pleasant and helpful.
I would definitely stay again there. Read more
