Hotel Sveti Kriz

Un hôtel de deux moitiés, l'ancien et le nouveau de l'autre côté de la route. La nourriture était médiocre et tout n'était au mieux que chaud, sinon froid. Les choix étaient limités mais il y avait quelques plats chauds et froids et de petits gâteaux. Le petit déjeuner était similaire. La chambre est belle et grande avec une douche à l'italienne, mais pas encore d'ascenseur dans le nouvel hôtel, donc c'était un long chemin jusqu'au 3ème étage, mais un bel emplacement près de la mer.

Contrairement à certains articles que j'ai lus dans d'autres endroits, j'ai trouvé le Svet Križ propre, invitant et carrément classique! Le personnel était très sympathique et s'assurait constamment que j'étais à l'aise. J'y retournerai certainement quand je reviendrai.!

After many hours of driving, we arrived at the hotel and given the room 24a on the 3rd floor, that was not the 3rd floor(Long story). I went first and when i opened the door, i couldnt believe my eyes! The room had the shape of a Cresent moon and half the floor was streight, but when the wooden floor began, the room was tilting down. The beds were placed on the two oposit sites and the bathroom door was made from glass entirely and was very hard and noisy to open and close. The whole room had windows all around, but thank God, thic curtains. My friend sat on her bed and it was broken, and because we were so tired, she just put the wood back and tried to sleep there. The other horrible thing was that once you finish showering , you could hear knockings through the wall like someone was hiting the wall with a sledge hammer, and that made us even more afraid, because we understood that the "room" was first a balcony that was made into a room so they can add more space at the hotel! All night i was trying to sleep and i was feeling that i was about to roll down the bed to the floor, because of the tilt. Oh, and the door was not locking from the inside, so i put the table that was in the middle of the room behind it, to feel safer. The only good thing this hotel had, was the Amazing Breakfast with lots and lots of things,and even fresh fruits. Forgot to mention that another Couple from our group, slept with the windows open all night because the room was smeling like a sewer! Shame on them, because this hotel could be a good one.

Just returned from 9 nights at this hotel. Let’s get the first thing out the way, if you speak English it sounds like Hotel Sweaty Chris, and we all know one of those, don’t we? So let’s ignore that as we’re all grown ups. I have to say some of the negative reviews on here make me laugh, have you ever heard of the phrase ‘you get what you pay for’? Therefore, if you book a standard room, guess what, you’re going to get something pretty basic and something that’s possibly not been upgraded for a while. The hotel is basically two buildings. The main hotel, which is the older building and a new block opposite which is newer and houses the premium rooms. I booked a premium room with sea view and guess what I got? A room in the new block at the front with a sea view! I booked just bed and breakfast as I never understand why you want all your meals in one place, each to their own I suppose! Breakfast is a standard buffet with cereals, cakes, croissants, cold meats etc plus a hot section but don’t go thinking you’ll be getting a full English. The only thing I really recognised were eggs, everything else was either, green, pink or red? , but guess what, you’re in Croatia, it’s going to be different, embrace it and try something new or have cake, cereal! Sea view from the restaurant is nice. The pool is always empty, purely because it’s in the shade for most of the day, great if you have little ones that you want to keep out of the sun. We spent our days at the beach which is just across the road. We hired a double bed everyday at 150kuna (approx £17 so a bit extravagant) but many people were just using towels on the beach. The beach is stones rather than sand so sea shoes are a wise purchase. Someone mentioned the close proximity to the airport and the noise which is very unfair. Yes you can see the airport from the beach, it’s directly opposite, but there’s a massive expanse of the Adriatic in between, plus it’s not Heathrow, there are some planes taking off/landing throughout the day but they do not affect your day unless you just like moaning. The hotel has a gym but I use the term loosely. It’s a room in the basement (which you reach via a Harry Potter under the stairs type door) which has a running machine and various other weight training machines, pretty basic and crowded if more than 2 people are in. The hotel has a beach bar/restaurant right on the beach (the clue is in the title) which does food (adequate) drinks, cocktails etc but is pretty basic. Other than that and one other smaller beach bar, there is nothing else around (and I mean nothing) so you need to get yourself to Trogir. Trogir is great for nightlife as it is full of restaurants, bars and shops and (unless you’ve hired a car) the best way to get there is by boat. There is a jetty on the beach where you can catch the ferry at 5 past the hour and the return trip from Trogir is at half past the hour (last boat is at 23:30). Cost 30 kuna per adult (£3.40) and takes about 20 mins.

I love it. Very good location. Beach just across the road. Comfortable room and very good food. Fresh and tasty. Lots to do on the beach. Paddle boards, ski jets, boats. Small shop just on the corner and couple of beach shops around hotel. Everything in one place.

Best reccomedations for this hotel. Close to the beach with restaurant and beach bar, also very close to the Trogir pod city. Very pleased with staff and tidyness. Pretty sure we are coming next year also.
