But dubrovnik and the country is amazing and would recommend anyone to stay here but not in this hotel! More Show lessįirst impressions are of a very corporate looking set-up that wouldn't be out of place in a city. Most of all beware of the villa Maria, was quite depressing to come back there after the old town. Best thing about it was the location, just catch the no.6 bus straight (20mins) into the old town which was amazing! This hotel is not a 4 star hotel and their website is very misleading. We we're put in the villa Maria annex and believe the other reviews saying beware of the villa Maria! The room was dark, grim and as about as well kept as the gardens! The bathroom had a pokey shower that was a fidget to get in and out and flooded very easily! So overall not very impressed to say the least! Hotel staff were a bit arsey but some were friendly enough, breakfast was alright nothing to write home about. It was untidy, unkept and the pool area needed more than a lick of paint! Pictures on their website show their fountain area trim and tidy while in reality was messy and a little bit overgrown. Upon arrival me and my girlfriend whilst waiting for room to be ready decided to look around hotel grounds and immediately was disappointed. On a final note, the beach made up for everything else.This hotel is not a 4 star hotel by any stretch of imagination. I would avoid if very hot out and when crowded. Worth every penny.Īlso, if you are considering visiting the town walls, it is a bit of a trek. On the posh side, try the Dubravka restaurant downtown across the street where the bus drops you off. The backstreets are better, try to find where the locals eat. Tirena is 20 mins away from the old town but bus #6. I had to ask for gluten free bread but I was uncomfortable to bother anyone so I gave up. The food (we had breakfast and dinner included), was ok, very bland and usually stone cold.

The hotel looks like only the bare bones are maintained.

For three stars I hoped for a mini bar with some water, that's all. The shower pressure is weak, I found this very annoying. We were told soft drinks were free but they are not. Not even a bottle of water in the minibar. Beds are old and the entire place can do with an upgrade (walls and fixtures).
