Hotels near Mala Solina, Sibenik

Man.. it was awesome! Let me explain or yea, introduce you. So, there’s rooms. You can choose connected or door to door. Connected perks: switch through rooms instantly and there’s doors for privacy. Door to door? See for yourself. And the pool? It’s saltwater. Well, to be fair I don’t like salt water but it’s enjoyable for most people so I won’t demote the rating. The beach? It’s perfect. Instead of the annoying sand there’s mini rocks and they’re so easy to get off and the ocean is SOOOOOO clear. Almost like the pool. The food? It’s the same each day I think but it’s good Atleast :) and the rooms are all the same. The service? Great! And the rooms? Clean, great and the pillows are so nice to sleep on. Overall? Very good! Would come again. On a scale from 1/10, it’s 8.5 for me. You should definitely go to this hotel! It’s the best I’ve ever been to.

Everything about the hotel itself is exceptional - the location in old town Sibenik, the rooms full of beautiful art and cozy quality, and the service from the staff is outstanding. HOWEVER, the one problem we had with our stay was locating the hotel from maps navigation (Google maps, Apple maps, and car navigation system). I would suggest that the hotel send an email to every guest a few days before check in with a map of old town that shows clearly how to get to the hotel from the driving roads through the pedestrian-only streets, and where parking is located.

This started off promising. You can't drive to this hotel. If you come by vehicle you get dropped off 150-200m away. A very friendly and helpful young man came down from the front desk and took our bags up. He was really great. Unfortunately when he left everything good about the hotel left as well. It's in a good location in the center of old town. Walk out your door and you're there. But location is only part of it. Our room was fine - no water in the room, no coffee, no tea. Just the usual bar fridge stocked to the rim with overpriced drinks that someone must buy (I honestly don't know who buys these things but someone must). One pillow per person - queen bed had two separate blankets. I've seen this before in my travels - this might be a local custom. I don't like it. One pillow then some sateen pillow thing that can't be laundered and I certainly don't want to put my head on after it's been in a hotel room and another gold fabric pillow that again can't be laundered and shouldn't be on a hotel bed. There was a fragrance of some sort in our room that drove my wife's nose crazy. She immediately got stuffed up and had a hard time sleeping. This has never happened before and we've stayed in some pretty sketchy places. No staff wearing masks - not even in food service. No obvious efforts to curb Covid in place - it's as if Covid doesn't exist here. No signs asking customers to wear masks either and the predominantly German clientele present while we visited did not wear masks at all - not even those who were coughing in the food service area. Disgusting. If there were signs anywhere they were not highly visible and no mask wearing was encouraged or enforced. The young lady at the front desk on the afternoon of our arrival (9/9) was just plain rude and unhelpful. The pink haired young woman at breakfast the next day looked and acted downright angry. Geez, people, if you don't like your job go do something else. The breakfast buffet is small - the smallest we've seen so far. No regular teas available - all herbal (mint, chamomile, peach etc.) No black, green, earl grey etc. Food choices limited - coffee was that garbage stuff out of a super auto machine. This was disappointing in a meditteranean influenced area that generally serves Illy or other superior coffees. This hotel has cut corners wherever and whenever they could. Would not stay here again and do not reccommend.
