Hotel Sirena Hvar — Hotel in Grad Hvar

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Sirena. We stayed for 3 nights and we paid for half board (breakfast & dinner) and a seafront room, which had a lovely view.||The rooms in the hotel were simple, but clean and well kept. The beds were comfy and there was enough storage for our belongings. I would definitely recommend the seafront rooms, as we had a gorgeous room. A complaint would be the lack of plugs in the room, however this can easily be overcome by an extender. Yes, the rooms are slightly "dated", but we weren't there for the rooms! They were comfy, clean and had great aircon.||We really enjoyed the buffet breakfast and dinners. The breakfast was largely the same each morning with a few alterations. It included meats, cheese, bread, eggs, sausages, bacon, croissants, etc. The dinner was different each night, but typically included a few choices of meats, vegetables, salad, grains, chips/potatoes. There were also cakes and fruit for dessert which were nice. It isn't anything fancy and may not appeal to a fussy eater (coming from the UK that is). However, the food quality was good and we filled up every night. Our favourite thing was the calamari on our second night. ||The staff were always pleasant and helpful when needed. There is 24/7 on the front desk, and they speak good English if necessary. We received a warm welcome on arrival. ||One complaint would be the lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms. However, data service worked fine for us, and there was Wi-Fi in the beach bar & restaurant area. It didn't hinder our trip too much. ||Our favourite part about the hotel was the location. It is right by the coast and has its own little beach essentially for the hotel. The sunbeds had no cost and you could be from your room to sunbathing by the clear waters within 2 minutes. Though people do save sun loungers with their towels, it wasn't crazy. You could wander down there at midday and get a spot. ||Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Sirena. Reading through other reviews, I can understand the complaints but I think people should be a little more open minded to the positives of the hotel. Hvar is dominated by expensive hotels/restaurants, and to be able to stay on this beautiful island in a more financially accessible hotel is fantastic. I think if you are travelling from far and this is your only pitstop, I could understand why you would be unhappy. It is also quite far from the old town, and many are not capable of making a 25 min journey full of hills/steps (you can get a taxi if you need though and they aren't expensive!). This hotel isn't luxury, but not every hotel needs to be. We stayed for 3 nights to relax and sunbathe between our week long trips to Split and Dubrovnik, and it was perfect for this purpose. I would definitely stay here again if I was travelling...

It is our 4th night here and this is a quiet place to be. It is the end of season and no crowd at all. The room is average and very clean. Also the bathroom is nice and clean...with clean towels every day. We are staying in Rosemary building and have a seaside view. The hotel has several buildings on location and i think Rosemary is the best one. The beds are sadly very uncomfortable and it is almost impossible to sleep on auxiliary bed /i wonder how my 4 year old daughter is sleeping there!/. The hotel has 2 stars so you have to be prepared for lack of things like TV in the room / thank God we brought a laptop/. They said that we will have web in the room but we actually had to buy so the internet actually works now. There is a small playground for the children on the beach but their hotel swimmping pool is empty which was the biggest dissapointment for my daughter. I understand it is almost the end of season but everything should work until the end of season! Also if you come 10 minutes after the opening hour of breakfast or lunch... you notice the lack of food...that is unexceptable!! The usually serve 5 different food but no variety for small children so we have to buy things from the local store if our child leaves lunch hungry. The smell right outside the restaurant is terrible...there is a tolilet...Also the bad thing is that you can meet about 10 cats around the hotel waiting for some food to drop down...and those cats use the beach to pee! Totally unhealthy and the beach full of fieces is really not romantic at all...so you wonder if you or your child can catch a disease or something! You have to rent a car or a motorbyke to get into town or cruze the island...we have our own car. And yes....bring tones of protection for nasty mosquitos!! And the lady fat the frontdesk has no clue about the island so we had to search the web ourselves to get informations where to go and what to look. They even did not know that you can found a small aquapark in town Vrboska. The hotel has a lack of parkplaces for cars also...i wonder where to park at the peak of the season!!! The hotel desperately needs some renovation because you feel like steping into early 80'! The staff and cleaning ladies are really nice and they make you feel welcome but that is almost it. Sunbeds at the beach are free. Well...cheap and clean hotel for elder people. Next time we will choose a...

We booked this accomodation as a budget accom and that is what we received. The room was stayed in was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The bathroom was very clean and spacious enough. Unfortunately for my partner the bed was a little short and his legs hung over the edge but he is 6'5! The beds are on the smaller side but they are comfortable and clean. The hotel itself is very dated but the location is great. We booked a sea view and that is what we got (it did not stretch for km's but it was a small little corner of the sea and it was great to have out the window). We could hear the water at night which was really nice. The breakfast is average at best but it is included so can't complain. The staff are all very friendly and lovely and will help you out if you ask. The water outside the hotel is crystal clear and there is plenty of areas for swimming. The location is about 20-25 minute walk to the main port of Hvar. To walk to Hula Hula beach club is about 10-15 minutes. There are a couple of other beach bars and hotels with bars that you could visit along your way from the walk from Sirena into Hvar. We walked into Hvar every night for dinner and enjoyed drinks along our way on the way back. I don't think I would book again but for what you pay it is everything you could need, especially when you don't plan to be at your accomodation all day but rather be out exploring! On our last day we requested a taxi to get to the ferry and the receptionist organised it and it arrived within 15 minutes - a very pleasant end...
