Excellent hotel for a short stay (our room wasn’t big enough or had enough storage for a longer stay). Rooms were lovely as were bathroom but as I said a little small for a one/two week stay. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful, breakfast was good and pool a nice area too. Near the harbour and old town with a 10 min walk to the beach.

The room and the staff were great, as well as the location. I was disappointed that the hot tub was not heated while I was there, and the parking was a bit difficult.

Perfect location, amazing staffs, affordable price
The room was newly renovated and it was way better than we expected. Clean, simple and modern with smart light and AC control. The view from the room is amazing. The location is perfect! The staffs are helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great. Only the wifi is terrible. The connection is weak even in lobby, mist of the time we couldn’t even google something.

Nice Hotel in the Old Town
The hotel is well kept and friendly. It is in the old city very close to the old fortress. All of the old town, beaches and the fortress are within easy walking distance. Free parking was available in the lot across the street. There were nice Sea view rooms availale.

Great location, okay food, friendly staff!
The staff are very friendly and try to accommodate requests. We had a very early morning tour booked and wouldn’t have been able to have breakfast but the server at dinner heard this and arranged for a boxed breakfast to be waiting at reception for us. The room was incredibly beautiful!! With a little balcony over looking the main walking area and water. A head up! They require a 10 euro deposit for the parking pass in cash upon check in! It was very frustrating as we didn’t know this and I had to take out cash from an expensive atm so just make sure you bring the 10 euro deposit and you’ll be good:) also, the food is okay. Lots of choices but typical buffet food. Overall good stay and we would come back for the location.
Very cool bedside lamps:)

Great location & service, poor quality rooms
The service was good - very helpful, polite and friendly staff everywhere you go, from reception to the restaurant to the housekeeping staff. I particularly loved that they actually thought to fold my pyjamas and lay them on top of the made bed. Super charming! The breakfast was excellent. Fruit, toast, cereal, great strained yoghurt, cakes and then a whole hot buffet section with eggs, sausages, potatoes etc. Very COVID-safe too. All staff & guests wear masks inside; the buffet is restricted to 4 people at a time, you must wear gloves to handle food; and they clean everything. Great location - in Old Town, close to the harbour restaurants & 20mins walk from the beach. But the hotel itself is a bit tired and drab. We had a 1brm "pool view" apartment (you couldn't see the pool) & it was very dark. It overlooked a CBD shop & at night it was incredibly noisy, with people walking below shouting & talking loudly until 4am. We asked to change, but they were fully booked. It had a kitchenette, but there were no utensils - no kettle, cups, cutlery, crockery or cookware. The hairdryer was really terrible; one of those wall-mounted ones that blow hardly any lukewarm air at all & is difficult to keep in an "on" position. The pool is nice, but guests reserve sunbeds with towels, despite big signs saying "please do not reserve the beds" - not the hotel's fault, just something to be aware of. Overall it's great service but I would have expected a bit more comfort for the price paid.

Super hôtel bien situé à côté du vieux port et de la forteresse vénitienne. Les petites ruelles pour faire du shopping sympathique. Accueil et service au top . Hôtel très calme , les chambres très propres et super petit déjeuné. Piscine un peu petite mais idéal pour ce rafraîchir et ce prélasser sur un transat avec nombreux service autour. Je recommande.

Hotel ottimo, peccato per un problema creato dal Vs. centro di prenotazioni visto che risultavano due prenotazioni per altre 2 camere cosa che ci ha creato non pochi problemi con la reception. Spero che voi correggerte il Vs. errore.

Bien situé et propre MAIS
Hotel très propre et très bien situé. Tellement déçue par la gérante. Une personne malhonnête qui me dit, je dois vous faire payer les taxes de séjour (logique jusqu'à là). Elle me tend le boitier et j insiste car elle cachait le montant... en effet 167€ de taxes. Je me mets en colère et me dit des choses incompréhensibles. Au final, me fait payer les 3 € dus. Réservation faite et payée 2 mois avant sur le site. Désagréable du debut à la fin du séjour.

Response from Hotel Ideon - Manager on 2 Sept 2021
Dear Mrs. Marilyn as we have already written to your other review posted on Trip advisor, and explained the procedure of how complicated the bookings from internet providers are sometimes. As almost every reservation has to be charged differently. We think that your remark concerning the procedure of payment was a bit too much. Please be assured that after we have talked to our receptionist, who by the way is working with us more than 30 years and her superior who was there and explained the situation to you, no one before has pointed out such a strong characterization. There was absolutely no intention to “steal” anything from you. Probably both didn’t explain thoroughly how complicated sometimes the payments system of internet bookings has become, which requires full concentration. Something our staff member didn’t have at that moment. However, our accounting department checks and controls twice every transaction made by our reception team and as explained before payments done from our guests booked through internet sometimes are very complicated. Once again, we thank you for leaving your review and again we need to high light that the term “thief” does not match and somehow offends the 50 years of business experience we have as a hotel enterprise.

Foi uma decepção,nos colocaram em um predinho anexo ao hotel, sem elevador, tivemos que subir as escadas com as malas,sem recepção,ficavamos com a chave da entrada do predinho pois não ficava ninguém lá.O quarto era velho, mal conservado,cama péssima e travesseiros então nem se fala, dava até nojo.Café da manha bom mas nada especial.
