Opinions HÔTEL PODSTINE Hvar

Old outdated Overpriced & Ragged this property is so Void of Value it should be a 2 Star at best. As usual the ‘Hype’ was adhered to via that hotel app of the same name. And left us in a Horrid situation. Not only was the food atrocious but the staff was less than accommodating. I’ve worked in 4 star establishments and wonder where the service is in customer service. So lacking was the professionalism I came out of character to ‘Check’ these Fools! Literally! So if I had not had enough border issues being ‘Randomly’ selected for ‘Inspection’ and being the Only Black Person in 1000 miles. Not to mention the airport itself. Then I come to this place and I’m told I can’t sun 10 meters from the place you can sun? And I’m the only Black Person on the property? Then it wasn’t even an employee ordering me to leave then demanding me to put the chairs back as they were, it was a ‘Friend’ of the ‘Manager’ who was dressed like any ‘Dude’ off the street! To take this ‘Establishment’ seriously would be to your detriment. APPALLING was the service and the food! Breakfast is basic AF with no fresh eggs or any amenities associated with 4 star stays on any continent. The price for this pain was exorbitant. And humiliating. I will NEVER RETURN!

Be weary when booking this location and at what point in the year. I really wanted to like this place. The room we had was big and spacious and clean. However, we were not made aware of the last day of their season and we basically checked-in and were told we need to check out early the next day and that all of the staff would be leaving. The employees were very ready to leave and nobody was very helpful. The location is pretty far from the downtown and not an easy walk with luggage (many flights of stairs), which also would have been nice to know.

Since they were all ready to leave, we tried eating dinner and breakfast and they were out of practically everything we wanted which was disappointing.

I do believe this place has potential and is nice when in-season but they did a terrible job communicating this and it was a very odd experience.

So confused at the bad reviews for this hotel! The rooms are modern, clean, & well appointed. Breakfast was good and had the variety that you’d expect to find in Europe. You can’t beat the ocean front lounge chairs & swimming area. We did not get a massage but the spa area was beautiful. Yes this hotel is a 20 min walk from town but it’s a lovely walk :) I recommend this hotel!

This is more of a 4.5 rather than a 5 simply because the bathroom and much of the hotel do need an update (it's very dated but nothing that wasn't advertised). The breakfast is basic and dwindle towards the end of our trip because it's the last day of the season (we visited in the first week of October). The private beach cove is absolutely stunning and quiet with plenty of sun beds - not sure about the peak season though. The service has been nothing but kind. The location is actually not that far from Hvar town considering you have a very lovely paved walkway along the coast. 15-20 minutes is a normal amount that most Europeans walk from A to B (plus a handful of steps) so anyone complaining about this needs to reconsider their life choices. The hotel shouldn't be penalised for being 'far' from town - this is obvious from Google Maps if you've done your research prior to arrival.

Fabulous location just outside Hvar town. Easy 15 minute walk into town. Good swimming spot and lovely views. Really helpful staff and there are some good day trips to go on. Room was big but shower was a bit dribbly though!

I hate writing these reviews but I’m really confused at why this hotel had a good rating. It’s so old, dated, the rooms are dark, it’s so far from town (basically the furthest hotel available), the breakfast is very average, no view from our room (window looking at trees), staff told us the wrong time for the bus to old town so sat and waited 45mins for the next one. The only good things were the room was a good size and was nice to take a quick dip in the ocean (but couldn’t get a day bed, when we finally did it was broken anyway). Would not recommend.

Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing as the hotel it is more like a hostel than 4* hotel. This place doesnt deserve the money we have payed. The fittings and furnishings are very dated.

We asked the reception staff to offer us a different room but the answer was “no”. Hotel was half empty!!

The location was ok but a good 30 minute walk into town.

As other comments..safe your money, book somewhere else.

I would be cautious about the reviews on this hotel, a number of these appear to be fake.

Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing as the rooms in this hotel are more youth hostel than 4* hotel. The fittings and furnishings are very dated and have seen better days, the shower only had hot water for 5 minutes at a time and there wasn't space to fit 2 suitcases.

The staff offered a different room but only on the condition that we pay a steep surcharge (more than advertised online). The location was ok but a good 30 minute walk into town. Save your money, book somewhere else.

We stayed for 2 nights. Bed was comfortable, the service was very good, free parking available on the street, and the location was great (20min walk from city centre and access to the sea). However, we found the hotel overpriced, no ventilation in the WC, hot water was for 1 shower only, and the breakfast was limited.

Beautifully tucked in a corner with a small beach area this is a place to be in Hvar ! The beach bar is awesome where one can spend hours enjoying the cool breeze and some tasty dishes,drinks and creating some great memories.

Classé soit disant 4 étoiles, cela ne les vaut pas, les chambres sont digne pour le personnel, vieille et à rafraîchir, trous au mur,vue sur un mur, salle de bain vieillotte avec le porte papier WC qui ne tiens pas en place, sans compter que au dessus de notre chambre,j entendait les gens marcher et déplacer des meubles la nuit, et des personnes qui discutait. Reste que le petit déjeuner et copieux, et que la vue sur mer et magnifique. Autrement Mauvaise expérience, hôtel ou je ne reviendrai pas.

Fantastic location! 15-20 minute walk to the city center. The water is pristine. There is also a diving center directly next door which offera discovery dives to newbies.

I recently stayed at the Podstine Hotel in Hvar from 29/07/2023 to 01/08/2023 and I must say, it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. The first thing that struck me was the outdated appearance of the hotel room. The worn-out furniture and faded decor were a clear indication that the place was in dire need of a makeover.

To make matters worse, the prices they charged were completely unjustified for what they offered. It felt like a classic case of "you get what you pay for," except we didn't get much at all. The value for money was abysmal, and it left a bitter taste in our mouths.

But what truly shocked me was the lack of responsiveness from the management. We raised several concerns with Emilija during our stay – from broken amenities in our room and lack of working internet in the room and it seemed like our complaints fell on deaf ears. Despite our efforts to bring these problems to their attention, nothing was done to address them. It was as if they couldn't care less about their guests' satisfaction.

The state of the rooms was a clear reflection of the overall neglect the hotel has suffered. Everything seemed worn down and poorly maintained. It was like staying in a place that had been forgotten by time.

It's evident that the owners have let this once-promising establishment fall into disrepair, and the management's lack of accountability is truly concerning. The entire experience left me with the impression that they are more interested in taking your money than providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would strongly advise against wasting your hard-earned money on the Podstine Hotel if you're looking for a pleasant and modern accommodation experience in Hvar.

Pohvale osoblju.
