Heritage Hotel Kaštelet

Beautiful hotel

Wonderfully and tastefully restored hotel right by the sea. Only a few rooms have small balconies (which we had) and were terrific. Breakfast was good and we had it at their lovely outdoor terrace. Staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended. We will be back!

All was fine (Eggs Benedict were a little overdone on one day).

Perfect location and fantastic room with a view of the sea. Great breakfast next to the beach and sea.

Nothing

Kastelet Hotel I thought long and hard about this review and wanted to give travellers that haven’t yet been an honest review. The hotel by appearance and its position is beautiful however, what the photos don’t show you at front of the hotel, there is the walkway and then the beach. The first thing that was obvious is that you have to pay for the cheap, not comfortable sunbeds each day €28 for 2, (if paid for at the hotel) which is quite an amount over a stay. Please do not expect a nice sandy beach anywhere in Croatia, there are only pebbled beaches in Croatia. Narrow strips of pebble beaches and I have honestly never seen so many people cram into those small spaces. There were two outstanding hotel staff Stefan and Nenad, we can’t sing their praises enough. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We found it quite bizarre although we stayed at the hotel for 7 days, staff addressed us like they had never met us before even after a few days and quite honestly didn’t recognise us as hotel guests. Some of the staffs mannerisms were quite abrupt. We asked for an iron which to us is not an unusual request when staying in an hotel, especially 4 star and we were just told the only option was to pay for laundry. We were in a standard room 120. The room itself was quite lovely for a standard room however, you wouldn’t have wanted to open the windows as the hotel next-door is extremely noisy and not attractive at all to look onto. The hotel breakfast was a treat. It is the first time we have stayed in a hotel that served a range of food together, served to your table. We would much rather prefer to pick from a buffet style, it was quite overwhelming the amount of food that came together. On the first night we arrived at the hotel I asked for a cocktail which was delivered and beautiful. The second night to sixth night I was told there were no cocktails, just bizarre! Then on the seventh night a separate cocktail bar appeared!
