Top Smilčić Hotel Reviews

Hotel Mediteran

10/10 Excellent

"This is a perfect treat of a hotel after many nights of small room in Split. Wonderful staff, very welcoming. Perfect, well appointed room, exceptionally clean. Little balcony overlooking the perfectly maintained pool and pretty grounds. We only had a one night, en route to Pula, but seriously wished we'd booked longer. We booked an evening walking tour of the Old Town with Ivana from the hotel. Absolutely fantastic and the very best thing to do with just a one night stay. We'd seriously like to maje this hotel a base for several nights when we come again. Wonderful breakfast too. Free parking at the back of the hotel -we could see the hire car from our balcony. Just €10 for a taxi into the town - ordered for us by reception staff. Excellent."

Downtown Boutique Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Arrived 2 hours early and was allowed to check in early. Nice rooms. Good amount of toilets and showers per room."

Hotel Donat All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Sorprendente !!!! todo incluido por un precio excelente, en el Bar no te niegan nada ( como otros todo incluido ) , La comida es buena para el Precio que estás pagando Parqueo grande y El personal es realmente muy atento ,"

Teatro Verdi Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very clean and great staff. Thanks to Maria that was very kind and helpful, she makes this place different than the others."

Falkensteiner Club Funimation Borik

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place. The spa, the pools, the views, the proximity to the beach, the food was still very good qualitiy although some years ago there were more choices. The indoor pool is the best. It is very expensive for solo travellers as they do not have single rooms. Negative point: there was no control at the pools or spa. There were naked people in the spa during the hours that children were allowed. There were naked babies in the pool (no swimming diapers). At sunset the heated pool was lined with drinks (in glass containers) and people drinking them inside the pool."

Molum Hotel & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"We visited during the off season, and the staff treated us with so much care and attention. The property is beautiful, and close to an adorable town, and amazing beaches. Our highlight was choosing the half board option and enjoying the dining experience. Some of the best meals we had during iur two weeks abroad. We also enjoyed the hotel spa each night which was a great way to wind down."

Hotel A'mare

8/10 Good

"Convenient location! Incredible breakfast! Lovely staff -very comfortable beds! Small rooms but great value -tricky parking but we would stay again in a heartbeat! Constructive feedback-bathroom could use tissue and better monitoring of shower supplies! But truly we loved our staff!"

Hotel Kolovare

10/10 Excellent

"Located in a perfect location steps away from the beach and only a 20-30 minute walk into downtown Zadar. The room was clean and comfortable, the included breakfast was delicious, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in Zadar."

Hyatt Regency Zadar

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. they went out of their way to help us."
