Amfora Hvar

Very bad experience had taken a two bedroom suite, only one intercoms was there in whole suite with no speaker facility. The housekeeping service was pathetic. They did not make the bed and didn’t change the bed linen as well. Worst hotel not worth the money at all. Worst experience of my life. Such bad housekeeping.

Our stay was a game of 2 halves really: - We paid over £300 a night for a room with a balcony that had a view of a wall and bush! Massively overpriced really and would not pay those prices again. The rooms themselves were nice just not worth the money. The cocktails in the pool bar were not great at all and the rose wine wasn't that good either. There was no price list for the mini bar in the room and even we asked didn't receive one. Great location. All the staff we interacted with were really great - especially Elvis in the bar. Wine and drinks in the bar were really good. Had a cocktail that wasn't so good but this was sorted no problem. Also ate there one evening which was nice. Prices in hotel were same as eating out really. Views from the bar balcony were really nice. Breakfast was really good, a fantastic choice of food and drinks. We enjoyed the pool but only spent half a day there.

We are leaving today and I’m glad we only stayed 3 nights. It’s not for us. I requested a bath in the room and got exactly that but no shower! There’s a square in the ceiling above the bath that looks like it’s going to be cut out for a shower and the ceiling hasn’t been finished awaiting I presume the shower. It’s not what I’d expect for upwards of 400 eu per night. Although we had a ‘refurbished’ room it was also so tiny with barely space to move. Thankfully we only had small suitcases because there was nowhere to store them. It was advertised as a superior room with seaview. There was absolutely nothing superior about it. That was the first disappointment. The 2nd was just the overall feeling of the place. It’s loud, brash, lots of daytime drinkers in the pool that get louder as the day progresses. I also hate that people can drink in the pool. It seems so unhygienic. It also has the most restrictive and uncomfortable sunloungers. Some positives, location overlooking the Adriatic was beautiful, beach (rocky) but sea gorgeous. You have to pay if you want a sunbed. Waiters and porters very helpful. Breakfast was a good selection but very much like a canteen and noisy and chaotic. It’s not been our best choice of hotel really. Hvar itself is lovely and well worth seeing and easy walk from the hotel. I definitely wouldn’t stay again.
