Yes this place could do with some refurbishment in the rooms, but its set in some lovely gardens and at the end you can swim off the rocks in the sea. The restaurant is good, even very good and its away from the bustle of Hvar centre giving it a more genteel air and you can easily walk into town along the seafront in about 20 mins. However the bed has to be one of the worst I have ever slept in, in a hotel.

First, I see in these reviews there are 2 different Hotel Croatias being reviewed! This us for the one in HVAR not Cavtat. Nice location, nice views and grounds. Hotel was basic and service was cold. Also, my reservation said free wireless Internet in all of hotel included. They said There was a charge. A younger gentleman consulted with an older women and then she told him that yes, I had to pay. She didn't care what my reservation said. That evening, a younger women was much friendlier. We checked out only to find we were charged for breakfast, also included in the reservation. Breakfast was quite poor compared to any others we had throughout our Europe tour.
We paid 199 euros per nt and were quite happy to leave. Not a good value, just all that was left during the busy season. Would not choose to return to this hotel. Service matters!!

i don't know about the rooms, but the restaurant is good, try daily menu, black risotto,and apsolutly perfect semifredo fig with prošek sauce....

It is not new hotel, but it has a soul, peace and good restaurat...

The rooms are shabby and in a time warp. There were no sheets on sofa bed for my
daughter so we had to ask at 11pm night we arrived - the guy on night desk was v
helpful. The maids seemed to ration loo paper and were generally surly. The reception
staff tried their best but I was irritated to be asked for 80 kna to be taken down to
ferry by their own hotel transport. This should be gratis. Breakfast was fine except for
ancient toaster which had a constant queue of guests waiting..... I don't think it was
terribly good value but it will always be popular as it is a stroll away from beach and
about 15 mins scenic walk to town centre.
