Reviews and Ratings
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.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and well-equipped rooms. The service was exceptional, despite the hotel's outdated appearance and unfriendly reception staff. The location was convenient, just a short walk from the city center. The dining options were good, albeit limited at times. Overall, a decent stay 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.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and had a nice balcony with stunning views of Rab old town. The dining area felt more like a conference room than a restaurant, but the room size and amenities exceeded my expectations.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel; the room was bigger than expected and well-equipped, but it was located in a side tract of the hotel. The service was friendly and helpful, although communication was mainly in German. The location was fantastic, with a lovely view of the old town center, but it was a bit difficult to secure a lounger. The dining experience was good with a variety of food options, although it did get a bit repetitive after a while. Overall, a clean and comfortable hotel with some room for improvement in service communication and dining variety.
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.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and equipped with modern amenities, offering a lovely view of the sea and the city of Rab. However, I found the service quite unfriendly and lacking in respect for customers. The location was convenient, with easy access to the beautiful FKK beach and not far from the old town.
The hotel offers magnificent bay views from the rooms, but they are quite small without upgrade options. The dining room has more of a conference feel than a cozy vibe, but drinks are available from 11:00am to 11:00pm. Service is friendly but only in German, which may not suit all guests. The location is fantastic, right by the beach and close to the city center. Dining options can be hit or miss with excellent choices but lacking fresh orange juice. The facilities are decent, but the overall value for money might be a concern.
The hotel surprised me in a good way - the rooms were larger than expected, nicely renovated about five years ago, and had a comfortable double bed, a convenient expandable couch, a practical writing desk, a safebox, a minibar, and all sorts of useful amenities. The fact that we didn't have to pay extra for a baby bed was a nice touch. The only downside was the difficulty in getting a lounger, but overall, it was a great stay.

However, the rooms are quite small with no available upgrades, even though the hotel was not busy, and the dining options were limited. The location is close to the old town with beautiful views, but it was a bit challenging to find loungers. The service was a mix of friendliness and some communication challenges for overseas travelers. The hotel facilities were average, and dining experiences were usually good but with some room for improvement in variety.
The hotel welcomes you in an old-fashioned dark and dreary ambiance with rude reception staff, which I found quite disappointing. On the bright side, the luxurious environment and the laundry service were notable. However, being addressed only in German was not acceptable in my opinion.
I loved the spacious balcony in the room with views of Rab old town; however, the dining room felt more like a conference room than a cozy restaurant. The availability of drinks from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm was a nice touch, but the lack of an option to eat outside was a downside.
