Hotel Sveti Kriz

Great hotel We arrived at 10am with the aim of dropping our bags as it was not check in time yet. We were told the room was free so was able to check in and rest a while before we went out. The hotel room is pretty basic but perfect for what we needed. Beds are comfy. But only one pillow I’m sure if we had asked we could have had another. Air con is not great ( unless we were operating it wrong ) lucky when we went it wasn’t hot enough to really need it. And the balcony door open was fine. Our room did look out over the road and the sea. But with that does come a lot of traffic noise. The doors do limit this but it can be quite loud. But perfect for people watching. Breakfast was basic but was just what we needed. Outdoor seating available with ample seats for everyone. We didn’t use the pool as it seemed all the Loungers were in the shade so just went to the beach instead. Room was cleaned daily and towels replaced. The hotel was clean and staff were great. Would recommend this hotel Tips for the area. Buses are very sparse and times seem to vary. Uber is a great way to get around. Weather can be unpredictable so pack for all weather. Trogir is a short taxi or bus journey away so make sure you visit. You can also get a boat. Do not use the taxi at the airport very expensive we learned that the hard way. The cobbles can be slippy so be careful on them

Just returned from 9 nights at this hotel. Let’s get the first thing out the way, if you speak English it sounds like Hotel Sweaty Chris, and we all know one of those, don’t we? So let’s ignore that as we’re all grown ups. I have to say some of the negative reviews on here make me laugh, have you ever heard of the phrase ‘you get what you pay for’? Therefore, if you book a standard room, guess what, you’re going to get something pretty basic and something that’s possibly not been upgraded for a while. The hotel is basically two buildings. The main hotel, which is the older building and a new block opposite which is newer and houses the premium rooms. I booked a premium room with sea view and guess what I got? A room in the new block at the front with a sea view! I booked just bed and breakfast as I never understand why you want all your meals in one place, each to their own I suppose! Breakfast is a standard buffet with cereals, cakes, croissants, cold meats etc plus a hot section but don’t go thinking you’ll be getting a full English. The only thing I really recognised were eggs, everything else was either, green, pink or red? , but guess what, you’re in Croatia, it’s going to be different, embrace it and try something new or have cake, cereal! Sea view from the restaurant is nice. The pool is always empty, purely because it’s in the shade for most of the day, great if you have little ones that you want to keep out of the sun. We spent our days at the beach which is just across the road. We hired a double bed everyday at 150kuna (approx £17 so a bit extravagant) but many people were just using towels on the beach. The beach is stones rather than sand so sea shoes are a wise purchase. Someone mentioned the close proximity to the airport and the noise which is very unfair. Yes you can see the airport from the beach, it’s directly opposite, but there’s a massive expanse of the Adriatic in between, plus it’s not Heathrow, there are some planes taking off/landing throughout the day but they do not affect your day unless you just like moaning. The hotel has a gym but I use the term loosely. It’s a room in the basement (which you reach via a Harry Potter under the stairs type door) which has a running machine and various other weight training machines, pretty basic and crowded if more than 2 people are in. The hotel has a beach bar/restaurant right on the beach (the clue is in the title) which does food (adequate) drinks, cocktails etc but is pretty basic. Other than that and one other smaller beach bar, there is nothing else around (and I mean nothing) so you need to get yourself to Trogir. Trogir is great for nightlife as it is full of restaurants, bars and shops and (unless you’ve hired a car) the best way to get there is by boat. There is a jetty on the beach where you can catch the ferry at 5 past the hour and the return trip from Trogir is at half past the hour (last boat is at 23:30). Cost 30 kuna per adult (£3.40) and takes about 20 mins.

Hotel was really nice,food delicious and excellent staff, beach is just a minute from hotel and the sea is so clear. We will deffinetly come again, but next time with our kids. We recommend it!!!! ❤️❤️
