Hotels near Monument to fallen fighters and victims of Fascist terror, Rovinj

We stayed in the 1-bedroom apartment with terrace and sea view at the Residence Porta Antica in Rovinj for 2-nights in mid-Apr (€160/night). The residence was perfectly located on the pedestrian walkway on the Rovinj harbour, amid all of the stores and restaurants and backing onto old town for a short hike up to the church. Be sure to arrange with the hotel a pick-up at the parking lot just outside of old town - you can't drive into the historic area, so it is a bit of a haul dragging your luggage over the cobblestones – and they are happy to send someone out in their golf cart. Our 2nd floor suite was perfect, fronted by a wide balcony (the only one in the building) with a table and 2 chairs to enjoy the view over the restaurant below onto the harbour. You enter into a large sitting area and kitchen fronted by two windows and a double glassed door (the room is light and airy) with heritage accents throughout in the high ceilings with dark wood beams, accent walls of huge stone, and antique pieces among the couch (hide-a-bed), table and chairs. The kitchen had a mini-refrigerator, hot plate, pots, cutlery, dishes etc., as well as a pod-coffee maker. The bathroom was small and a bit cramped, as you would expect in a heritage building retrofit with modern conveniences, but comfortably functional. The bedroom was also a bit small, but the queen bed and pillows lulled us into perfect sleep in the quiet nights. The two closets provided plenty of storage space. Breakfast at the Hotel Adriatic (almost next door) was fabulous, the best a la carte selection we have had on this trip. And to top it off, the residence's staff were great, cheerful, friendly, and very helpful with travel planning, restaurants, everything. Overall, stay in this room (none of the others are as nice) – it is a bit more expensive, but the balcony makes all the difference. You will not be disappointed.

It's hard to carry a suitcase, but the location is good. It's a new experience. Separate from the accommodation fee, you can pay the tourist tax 1.86 euro. You can also use a card. The staff are friendly and the guide is good. Thank you. Because it's a company connection, we can't contact at least well. But thankfully, we can check in late at night. Car parking is very good. If the check-in is over 8 p.m. It's better to contact in advance. Thank you very much to the male staff of the office for taking care of our convenience.

I would give this a ”very good” for the property as it was nice and nicer than I expected. The room was equipped with a kitchenette and a really nice big balcony. I was there out of season so couldn't fully appreciate the balcony, but it was a nice outdoor space. What wasn't so good was the check-in process. I booked through **********, and on none of the communications was the name of the rental people (I forget their name now but it began with an A). I duly communicated or tried to communicate through ********** as requested. I explained that I was driving from Zagreb and would let them know when I landed so they knew when to expect me. At that point they made me aware that I would need to go to the office of the rental agency and then be taken to the property. It was dark by the time I arrived and the gateway was right off a main road onto a one way street, having been in the country 4 hours on my own in a hire car, this was not helpful. They didn't respond to the messages through ********** but had at no point given me their direct details which would have helped greatly. Eventually I had to phone a Croation phone number from my English phone (don't know what that's cost me) to be quite rudely asked ”where you are you then ? Did you not follow the instructions”. Which, yes I had, I just didn't know if I was in the right place or not. The chap was out delivering another couple to thir property and he told me to wait and he would come back for me. Which he duly did. I left the car at their office that first night as the parking was unclear. However the next day I was able to park near the property, so that was good. They would have come and got me again on checkout day if my car was at theirs. This did negatively impact my initial first impressions - when I said that if I had been given a bit more info it would have been fine and the chap said I should have googled it ?? But googled what ? The process works, but it would be so much better if everyone knew what was happening. I was then given their watsapp number, which is their phone number, but again, you only know that if you know ! THat made it much easier and I was able to message as I checked out. So, the property was nice, its a great location. I don't want to sound negative, but things need to be clearer - especially when using third party platforms.

Seeing such beautiful scenery at the hotel every day is worth the fare. You can also watch the sunset. The hotel service is very good, and the hardware is very good. The breakfast is very good. I came in the off-season. The price/performance ratio is super high

Lovely little hotel with lift and nice pool area, situated around 15 minutes walk from the seafront and 5 minutes from a handy supermarket. Clean, comfortable rooms with minibar/fridge, tea and coffee making facilities (kettle plugs in behind the TV on the wall which we found unusual) and safe. WiFi works well in the room, bit hit and miss on the balcony. Hairdryer in bathroom with toiletries, bathrobes and slippers provided. Rainfall shower and lovely big bath - glass partition between bedroom and bathroom was a feature, though luckily with curtain provided for privacy. Good choice at breakfast with new items added daily although hot choices, scrambled/fried/boiled eggs, omelette (delicious) etc stayed the same. However, the staff are the greatest asset including Ana on reception who helped us no end, as did Luka. Ivana also deserves a mention along with the chambermaids who did a great job. Thanks to all, we really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent hotel and location. Short distance to the coastal path which is stunning, borrowed the bikes and ventured out for hours with little cafes along the way! Pleasant walk into Rovinj with many shops and restaurants. Downside was couldn’t always get a lounger by the pool there aren’t many. Not really acceptable. Maybe other people were coming from the Lone? Pool bar service was good and Mullini Beach service also very good. Breakfast OK, food from menu was served cold though? Cold poached egg so didn’t bother again just had the buffet. Asked for a high room but wasn’t available so bit disappointing as there was no view and based on what we had paid for 3 nights wasn’t a great outlook plus ants coming into room. Overall fab hotel.

Dinner is good, breakfast is good, the room is clean enough, the beach behind the hotel is very comfortable, the main town of Rovinj is too beautiful, you can consider staying here for two consecutive nights, the parking is free, you need to walk for 5 minutes, suitable for children, floor The pool and the outdoor pool are very good, it is recommended to go

My husband and I booked the hotel as a last minute cheap deal and on first impressions we were impressed. The hotel is in a nice setting with well tended gardens and a short walk to the seafront promenade, great if you want to lie around the pool all week but we found it too cut off. There are no local buses in the area at all and the small tourist train was 1km away and had very restricted times being early season. A taxi into porec was £20 each way. Hotel food was typical for a large tourist hotel and we always found something to eat. The bedrooms however are extremely small and very basic no storage cupboards or drawers for anything at all.the bathrooms are so small the shower door wouldn't open fully as banged into the toilet and the bathroom door couldn't open fully due to the towel rail behind it. You get bigger bathrooms on cruise ships ! The main down side was the constant stream of tourist coaches which used the hotel on a daily basis ( 8 full coaches on one particular day )which left the hotel more like a travel lodge motel and not like a relaxing away from it all holiday break. In all an OK hotel for the money we paid but not somewhere we would return to unless in a coach party.
