Hotel Ola - Adults Only

We spent 5 nights at the hotel. The location is lovely, close to Trogir/Split and the airport. Hotel was OK - staff were very helpful. The rooms had a nice view over the sea and it was good watching the boats and airplanes come in. A light on the balcony would be good, to enable people to sit out and read at night. Pool at the top of the hotel was refreshing - one for the views and not swimming. Breakfast buffet was OK - eggs all cooked fresh, pancakes cooked in bulk and reheated (not nice) and a nice variety of cereals and cold meats. We went out in the evening. Buta and Segetski Dvori were our favourites, but plenty of choice either way down the promenade. Days out - Trogir (walk or taxi boat), Seget Vranjica (hours walk along promenade/path opposite way to Trogir) and a half day speedboat 3 Island tour, including the Blue Lagoon. The water is lovely and safe for swimming around the area

On booking this holiday with Vogage Prive we had requested single beds as travelling with a friend. This allegedly had not been passed onto the hotel, and it took over 90 minute to separate two beds and make them. Reception looked in need if updating. On entering the room. Curtains was hanging off the track. Though the interior design had some ordinary cupboard door, other were stirling board with no handles, so as you opened and closed the door, you got splinters in your handles. The balcony also had this between each balcony. Chairs on the balcony were missing matched. Though the balcony was large the chairs were tiny. The upstairs had all mismatched plastic loungers. One day there were 4 coverings on the chairs that were filthy. Food was luke warm. The gym had two pieces of equipment in it. There was no mention of the 64 steps to the road. A further hill and more steps to the sea.

The property was in a convenient location, good parking and spa. The room layout was terrible, with an open plan from bed to bathroom. Difficult to not disturb partner and the lack of privacy was not great either. On the other hand, the view was amazing!

Room was nice, clean and very spacious. Did not like the sliding door which was shared between the shower/toilet. Very open, meaning everything was heard. Food in the restaurant was very disappointing, not a large variety or quantity. No ice cream so dry deserts. One choice of cheese, very slow to replenish empty trays/plates. When I complained about the food I was told we were out of season - my money was good enough so I expect the food to be good enough and it wasn’t! Rooftop swimming pool was depressing, shelves behind bar were empty, no complete cushions on beds and some were ripped. No atmosphere. On a rainy day we spent the day in the indoor swimming pool area, this was very pleasant. Reception area was very unwelcoming. Would definitely not recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel with views over the sea - 1hr by ferry to split from Trogir & 5 mins in Uber to Trogir - tip airport to hotel approx 18 euros by Uber & Uber to Trogir only 5-6 euros - cheaper than bus for 2 people - lovely restaurants along promenade on beach to left of hotel

Positives: The rooms are modern and clean. We got a room on the 3rd floor where the balconies are very small. We could see from the outside that all lower floors have bigger balconies and windows. All rooms at the hotel face the sea which is very nice. The pool on the roof top is nice, clean and refreshing. The restaurant at the hotel is good (although I got a histamine reaction to the tuna) but a little pricey and the menu gets a little boring after a couple of days. As it is so hot out and there are no restaurants nearby we did end up eating here a number of times during the 5 days we were there. Friendly staff. Negatives: very random subbed set-up by the pool with make shift pillows on a few beds. Feedback to the hotel: invest in better, nicer, softer sunbeds - it does a lot for the overall impression of the hotel. Also, the same music is played every where, everyday, all day. Awful (!) covers of otherwise great songs. It was starting to drive me mad by day 3. Please just subscribe to Spotify and put on a decent, original playlist! Lastly, the location is not great. While relatively close to the water taxi that will take you to Trogir (4 euro one way, 7 euros t/r) there is really nothing else within walking distance. No little shop for snacks, water or drinks, no restaurants, nothing. There is a building site in front of the hotel and I suspect the view from the restaurant and many rooms will be limited by the 2024 season. Taxi to the airport was 26 euro and takes less than 20 minutes. Overall, we had a great time and no major complaints but I would not stay at this hotel again. Better to get something actually on the waterfront or walking distance from Trogir centre.

Although, on the face of it, Hotel Ola looks like a really nice hotel in a good location, it is only when something goes wrong that you really find out the truth. We had a major problem when we visited the hotel in November last year and our complaint was dismissed out of hand and several untruths were made when we returned back to the UK.

Hotel is very good. Only thing that counts Down in evaluation is the surrounding building activities outside the hotel area. Sauna was also out of order for the one night stay.
