Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and well-furnished, but the lack of windows was disappointing. The service was exceptional, especially when they helped us after getting caught in a thundershower. The location in picturesque Motovun was excellent, offering special privileges for guests. The dining options were satisfactory but could have more plant-based choices.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were small but had a good-sized wardrobe, suitable for a couple. The service was friendly and helpful, with some instances of unevenness. The location provided stunning views of the valleys and hilltops. The dining experience offered a delightful selection of food. Overall, a good choice for a relaxing vacation.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms, though a bit cold, were small but sufficient for our needs, with an old-school charm. They were clean and spacious enough. The service was a mix - some staff were very friendly, while others misjudged my intentions and were a bit rude. The location was truly beautiful, and I appreciated the shuttle service provided. The dining experience had its ups and downs. However, the hotel's facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel is situated at the top of Motovun, offering amazing views and serving as a great base to explore the picturesque Istra villages. The rooms, while not overly spacious, are adequate for a couple, featuring a balcony on the 2nd floor overlooking the charming town square. The service was exceptional, especially when they promptly assisted us after a sudden thundershower. The dining experience, although tasty, lacked outdoor seating options. Overall, it's a lovely spot with a few minor dining inconveniences.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with comfortable beds, great bathrooms, and balconies overlooking the courtyard and square. The service is outstandingly helpful, with staff going the extra mile to assist guests. The location is terrific, providing breathtaking views and making exploration convenient. However, the dining experience falls short, lacking variety and being slow with replenishing. On the bright side, the facilities are well-equipped and maintained.
