Don't let the somewhat dark and cold marmer entrance fool you, this is an excellent 4 star hotel with large airy rooms with all decoration in a naval theme.
On the Hotel: the hotel is situated at the waterfront (as in 5 meters from the edge of the water) just across the yacht marina from novigrad. Since it is in a fenced of area (the marina), there is no mass tourism here. Only yachts quietly rocking in the tide. Walking to the city centre will take you 5 to 10 minutes at most. Novigrad and especially the hotel offer a seas-side quiet that is not to be found in Porec, Rovinj or Pula.
On the rooms: the rooms are comfertable with giantesque beds and offer all modern comfort, including airco. All rooms are dotted with naval themed ornaments. I assume most if not all rooms have a lovely balcony overviewing the marina.
On the staff: The staff is multi-lingual, excellent in its doings and overall friendly
On the food: The hotel offers an excellent restaurant with a really calm and very spacious terrace just next to the yachts (reducing the distance to the water to 2 meters). Food is served by very knowledgeable waiters, who offer you to see the fish on ice before they cook it. Just next to it are some lovely modern relaxing chairs where you can spend your day in all serenity staring at the yachts while sipping on something cold (or hot). Breakfast is served here too.
On the pool: I believe there is an indoor pool, but who goes to croatia to stay in an indoor pool anyway.
