Hotel Antica

I celebrated my birthday and stayed for 4 days, with friends. It was absolutely amazing! The location is perfect and in beautiful surroundings. The hotel manager Jelica is an absolute star! Jelica goes above and beyond to accommodate and assist. I want to come back. Next time, will definitely be for a longer period of time, to explore more. It felt like home away from home. Would absolutely recommend Hotel Antica!

We had a wonderful time at Hotel Antica made that much more special by Jelica and her team. The hotel is about to undertake a major renovation which will make it the 5* it’s setting and staff deserve. We will watch with interest to see how it develops

Amenities & cleanliness - Hotel has nice communal spaces (including pool & loungers) but the rooms are very outdated and not clean (eg water in toilet brush holder, soap across bathroom). Would not say that the price of the rooms is reflective of the quality. Breakfast - was included in the price for us and variety of options but quality was poor. Staff - nice staff but didn’t have much helpful information about the local area (eg tried to charge us €40 for a taxi to Hvar old town claiming this was a good rate but the normal rate at port is €30/35. Also didn’t know about buses or ferry times from Stari Grad even though hotel located next to the port & bus stop. Location - nice quiet location next to ferry port. 20 min walk into Starri Grad. Overall - would not say this is value for money. There was a blurred line between space for the manager & what we assumed was her family (may not be permanent residents we weren’t sure)

Wow - so glad we came out of Havar to stay here ! It’s a small hotel with a pool, fab breakfast and the friendliest of top class care and guidance by Jelica ! She made us all so welcome, advising on restaurants , places to go , making us local cocktails and ad hoc bbq when the rain was terrible ! She even drove us to collect e-bikes and drew out the 22km route - it was our favourite day of our 2 week tour of Croatia absolutely stunning scenery Looking forward to coming to see the new hotel extension Thankyou from all of us for looking after us so well

During an unexpected visit to Hvar, we decided to stay at the Antica Hotel and were immensely pleasantly surprised by the kind and welcoming personnel. Along with a beautiful decor, clean room and a gorgeous terrace with a pool, the hotel staff took great care of all of our requests and wishes. The breakfast was phenomenal and, despite us not informing in advance, they provided us with a gluten free menu. As our stay here was spontaneous, the personnel gave us recommendations for the beautiful places on the island which we visited, they offered an option for transportation and bike rental. This visit was short and unexpected, so we are positive that we’ll be returning back being that the experience in this hotel was more than excellent!

To say that we are disappointed and feel ripped off would be an understatement. The previous review mentioning that Antica photos are all smoke and mirrors is spot on(that photographer has some serious skills!). The hotel is vastly outdated, it is next to the road and is more of a hostel in terms of interior and amenities (for a 400€/night charge). Stari Grad is a 20min walk, getting a taxi is only possible if you have cash on you and will cost 15€ for 3min drive. There is a small pool and access to a tiny and very rocky beach. It is next to a port and a supermarket. There are no prices for the drinks or food to be found and they charge you as they please for them. The owner who manages the place is no host. We were lucky to have had only two nights there. Stay away from this place.
