Hotel Issa — Hotel in Grad Vis

I have just returned from a stay at this hotel and, having read previous reviews, was wondering what i had let myself in for. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem of a hotel and what it had to offer. My room offered a beautiful view of Vis bay, it was picture perfect, we had air conditioning, which was fully functioning and easy to use, even for my techno phobe partner, Simon. The bathroom had a shower that was as powerful as any jet wash and a well used toilet. The drainage smell was a bit much for me but Simon didn’t mind it. The beds were comfortable and easily pushed together and there were ample hangers in the wardrobe, including the old fashioned wooden ones! The bar had an amazing variety and stock of most drinks, both local and international and the barman was very pleasant and polite and always laughing. We only ate at the restaurant in the morning and it was fine. The selection was reasonable, including eggs both boiled and fried, cheese and ham, bread and yogurt. The coffee was nice and strong and kept me awake all day, and there was even Tetley tea bags and HP sauce there, if you knew where to look!! The lobby was large and spacious and we even had someone playing the piano one night, which was nice. The location was ideal with easy access to the town and local bars and there were plenty of taxis available outside the hotel, Joe (the local tour guide) always sorted these out for us. The beach opposite was clean and the water was crystal clear and there was plenty of swimming and diving off the jetty, which was really fun to watch. The only downside that i can think off was someone had been a bit ill at the bottom of the stairs, but this was cleaned up immediately by the helpful staff. Apart from that i was pleasantly surprised by our stay here and Simon and I are considering staying here next year with our...

We travelled as a family of four, children 5 and 7 yrs old. We stayed here 3 nights on a half board basis. First impression of this hotel from the outside was wow this is not bad at all. Beautiful location right in front of the sea, very close to the town centre but still away enough to get some quiet moments also. We got a two bedroom suite, which was really nice sized, very comfortable, two bathrooms, a fridge and a nice big balcony on a 3rd floor with an awesome view!! No kettle in the room or tea/coffee making facilities, but that was expected for a 3. Furniture in the room (and generally in hotel) is really old, but it didn't bother us, since we knew what to expect. And to tell you the truth, we were quite positively surpriced. The only thing that is really negative about this hotel is food. I am not picky, but that food was really not eatable. If you choose this hotel, take bed&breakfast only. Dinner is not worth the money. Staff is really nice and kind, especially roommades on 3rd floor. All in all if you visit Vis, there aren't many hotels to choose from. Our first choise was another, 4 hotel, but children under 12 years can't stay there, that is why we chose Issa. I would recommend Issa hotel to anyone that needs a decent hotel near centre of town for a normal price. If you expect luxury, go somewhere else. We spent a really nice holiday there and would like to come back. We would...

If you want to enjoy holidays on Vis island I strongly suggest you NOT to stay at this hotel.|1. Hotel is old, not clean and needs a lot of repair|2. Rooms are small, furniture is old, you can smell smoke of cigarettes, curtains are old and dirty. They gave us only 2 !! towels (one normal sized and one small), both were stained, we noticed gray/black spots on them, hopefully it was not a mould |3. Breakfast is terrible, only the sunny side egg were eatable, there were almost no fruit, juice was watery and made of syrup. Croissants were dry, and not fresh, etc..|4. Staff at the reception desk is unfriendly, they keep your documents, passport and don’t take care of them properly. One could easily take them away, they store them right behind the booth.|5. Only good thing is a sea view from the balcony. Balcony is spacious, however , you can easily step on the other neighboring balcony because there is no fence and thus no intimacy. The walls of the room are thin, and you can hear noise from other rooms. Doors are old fashioned and don’t seal properly....|6. And finally, the price.... we payed 130€ for one night stay at this hotel 😟||So, avoid this hotel if possible... 😏 It deserves...
