Hotel Vis

I chose this hotel, especially for the view, given that the length of stay was short. Reading the reviews & notes, I had some “emotions”. Subsequent conclusions: first of all, I do not understand the criticisms brought, respectively I cannot relate to most of them; secondly, I had an unforgettable experience through the varied breakfast, cleanliness, location and the hotel staff (very helpful and sociable). Thus, the quality-price ratio is a very good one. The pictures on the website correspond to reality, so that just because the furniture is not new, does not mean that a hotel is not good (make a distinction).

The staff are nice and friendly, and the view from the hotel is calm and peaceful—perfect for relaxing, which was one of the reasons we chose it. You can easily order a Bolt to the Old Town for around 5–7 euros, which was super convenient.

Staff were amazing really friendly, great choice for breakfast and great location

The location of Hotel Vis is great. Right on the beautiful coastline with views across the bay. Far enough out of town to feel peaceful and relaxing, but also close enough (easy and regular direct bus service, or a nice walk) to town to be able to visit all of the lovely sights and attractions that Dubrovnik has to offer. From the moment you enter the lobby of the hotel, you can tell that it's very well-run. Nice and clean, and fresh-smelling. You receive a very warm welcome from the professional, knowledgable, and exceptionally friendly staff. The room I stayed in was of a good standard and was clean, and had a balcony (complete with table and chairs) overlooking the bay. It was on the top (2nd) floor, so up two flights of stairs. I have to say, there are steps within the hotel between the lobby and the stairs leading to the rooms, and also steps from the street level down to the front door of the hotel. This was all fine for me, but it's a potential issue for anyone with limited mobility, and completely unsuitable for wheelchair/scooter users, as there is no lift in the hotel. This would be my only criticism. Hotel Vis offers several meal packages to suit individual requirements. I opted for a package to include breakfast only, as I like to go out and sample local eateries when I travel (there are some very nice ones in the Lapad area and in Dubrovnik town itself). The breakfast was buffet-style, and had a wide variety of hot and cold food and drink options. I was very happy with it. On that note - one day, I took the opportunity to go on one of the many excursions of the area, but I had to leave early in the morning, before breakfast was due to start. On speaking to the reception staff about this, they very kindly arranged for a 'breakfast box' to be prepared for me, which I just had to collect from reception early the following morning. Just another example of the very friendly and helpful staff doing what they do best.

We arrived early and told our room was ready which was a good start We found reception staff and cleaners very helpful and super friendly . Clean towels every day and beds made Fantastic view from our balcony with the sound of the sea at night We always found plenty to eat at breakfast and ate 3 nights in the hotel at the buffet which was also very good and plenty to pick from . Our waiter Alexa was fantastic and very entertaining Yes our room had brown wooden furniture ( maybe not Insta ready for some ) but it was clean and we didn’t come to Croatia to stay in our room all day . Our balcony view well made up for it Pebble beach so bring your beach shoes but the sea is very clear and snorkeling was great Also very quiet at night There is a forest park a few minutes walk uphill from the hotel which is very nice and has some lovely views The number 4 bus ( bus stop across the street ) will get you into the old town in about 10 minutes We certainly had a fabulous time and will be back next year
