Couldn't had been better.

From the check in to check out everything was perfect. Hotel is well maintained, updated, clean, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast and of course lovely beach right Infront of the hotel. Geography of the place is something else as Italy (Trieste) and Croatia (Porec, Rovinj) are short drive away.

I love this place. I’ve stayed a few times and I’ll probably return. The staff, food and location are amazing!! There was however a persistent smell resembling backed up sewer. It wasn’t overwhelming but it was off putting. I walked onto a couple other floors and it was throughout the entire building.

I cannot recommend this hotel more highly. I wanted to stay in Piran but choose this hotel initially for two reasons: (a) it was walking distance along a promenade to Piran and offered free parking; and (b) it would be staying in a slice of history as the form of the hotel (though not the renovated interiors) harked back to the more brutalist days of the Yugoslav Republic. Then I got there - the staff were unfailingly lovely; the room was big (after several days of tiny rooms); each room has an expansive sea view; the breakfast was out of this world; and it was a beautiful promenade in front of the hotel along the sea. It was really a singular experience and one of the reasons that Piran was a highlight of the trip. My mother (70 yo) felt very poorly on the last night of the trip and was quite ill during the night. As we didn't have to leave to go to the airport until 4pm, I requested a late-check out. Not only did they give my mother the room until 4pm, but they didn't accept extra payment for the additional time in the room. Honestly I can't recommend this hotel more highly!

This is a beautiful location! I loved the view and how easy it was to walk to the centre of Piran (which is beautiful by the way). There are electric scooters out front if you don't want to walk that far. There was also a delicious restaurant close, before the main part of town. I believe the bar by the ocean was closed when I was there (end of September) but other than that everything was great. Buffett breakfast was great with lots of selection. As a Canadian woman traveling alone I felt totally safe, the staff spoke english (grateful). One thing - be careful if using the stairs to go for a swim in the ocean, I was using the railing and still slipped and fell - lol.

Not a 5 start property

This is by far not a 5 star experience! The staff and services is awful. We placed laundry service and they delayed the return by more then 24 hours, which completely delayed our travel plans and departure to another location. There is no manager on property and in charge. The front desk lady is rude and unprofessional. In addition we had to park our own car and bring our own luggage to the room.
