The hotel is located in the old town of Rab, offering a cozy atmosphere with free drinks from 11:00am to 11:00pm. The rooms, although small, were surprisingly comfortable with a large double bed, expandable couch, and convenient amenities. The service was friendly and helpful, though communication was mainly in German. The location is excellent, close to the beach and promenade, making it ideal for those who enjoy a relaxing stay. The dining options were varied and of good quality. Overall, a quaint hotel with some great perks but with room for improvement.

The hotel offers excellent views of the majestic island town of Rab, with spacious rooms that exceeded my expectations. The technology in the rooms may appeal to children, but having classic entertainment options like a pool table or table football would enhance the experience. The location is very good, close to the beach and promenade, just a ten-minute walk from Rab Town, providing a beautiful view. The dining options are varied, with a good selection of foods, although the service can be inconsistent at times.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and comfortable, featuring a spacious balcony with stunning views of Rab old town, but the pillows were quite uncomfortable. The dining area felt more like a conference room than a cozy restaurant, limiting the outdoor eating options. However, the location was excellent, offering a pleasant walk or a short water taxi ride into Rab town, and there were plenty of sun beds available by the newly made beach. The hotel attracted a predominantly older German crowd, which may not suit everyone's preferences.

The hotel is tucked away in a side tract with stunning views of the open sea and the city of Rab. While the rooms are tech-heavy, a pool table or other games would be a nice addition for entertainment. The hotel offers a park view, but the rooms are a bit small for more than 3 people.

The hotel offers new, comfortable mattresses with a conference-room-like dining area. The rooms are small with uncomfortable pillows and no available upgrades. Drinks are available from 11:00am-11:00pm. Service was mainly in German, which I found unacceptable, lacking understanding for overseas travelers. Facilities include laundry, paid airport shuttle, and tours/ticket assistance.
