Hotel Hvar, hotel in Jelsa

Hotel Hvar is located on the island of Hvar in the small picturesque town of Jelsa on a wooded hill, sloping to the shoreline, with panoramic sea views from the rooms, restaurant and lounge bar.

Wonderful Jugoslavia-style hotel: spacious with gorgeous views, beach and nature surroundings (minutes walk to a lovely Jelsa), loved it! The atmosphere is laid-back, staff friendly and accommodating, you feel free and unconstrained, and facilities are amazing (tennis, bar, swimming pool, promenade), with a special bonus (if you have kids, it's a blast), a mini-club where you can leave you kids 4h over day under the watch of a super nice lady and enjoy your time off:)) As said, this is a vintage Jugoslavija-style hotel, kind of resort you find rarely anywhere on the coast, rooms are very simple but compensated with remarkably generous and well-kept hotel facilities and surroundings. And for the price, it's far more you could ever get in some other very modern but confined space.

Apartments and Rooms Dobrila, hotel in Jelsa

Located just 1640 feet from Jelsa's city center and 2297 feet from the beach, Apartments Dobrila offers modern and air-conditioned accommodations with a balcony or terrace.

Close to the town, easy parking, can walk to town in 10 min, close by you have 2 main supermarkets, and 3 smaller ones in town, very convenient location. Host was really nice and friendly. Gave tips to where to go to the beaches. Room was perfect, clean, spacious with a balcony (no view), but space for 4 people to have lunch or dinner, and rack for towels or clothes. Fridge and kitchenette. Will certainly come back as the price beats the other locations, clean and close to town.

    Small town, but with plenty of restaurants, and shops.

    Small town, but with plenty of restaurants, and shops. Self catering a good option as restaurants are relatively pricey. Friendly and helpful people. Great base for cycling along coast and inland to places like Stari Grad. Great swimming opportunities in many small coves, Phenomenal views. Also has direct access by ferry to Split, but limited public transport.

    A very attractive and lively harbour offering a wide range of activities: pebble and sand beaches nearby, restaurants, ice cream parlours, bars, concerts, cloth shops...). The square in the town is particularly attractive and welcoming, and a lovely place to have your first cup of coffee in the morning and buy a croissant from one of the nearby bakeries and look out and see the day start to begin in the early morning coolness.

    The local people, you encounter are always give excellent service . I have visited Jelsa a number of times. Love the outdoor cinema. It was very busy at this time of year. Lazy days by the sea and fine dinning and excellent ice cream.

    Beautiful village at the cost, with lot of lovely restaurant and vivid boardwalk near the harbour. Old city is full of narrow, stone streets with lot of nice place to visit. It is not so crowded like Hvar.

    I simply adored quiet mornings there when mostly local people and few tourists are drinking coffee. There's nothing spectacular there but it is great place with just enough restaurants, stores, cafes to have pleasant vacation. I'm impressed with nice park and narrow streets perfect for morning walk.

    We loved everything about this place. The family who ran the place was very helpful and friendly and served a delicious breakfast. The room was lovely and beautifully updated. We enjoyed the location with a balcony which gave us a spectacular view of Jelsa and the harbor. We could walk to everything including lovely beaches and restaurants. Jelsa is a more relaxing environment than the town of Hvar and we weee happy to stay away from the crowds. our expectations were exceeded and highly recommend a stay here.

    House is in Vrisnik, quiet picturesque village on a hill, a few kilometers far from Jelsa. After about 10 minute drive you have old town of Jelsa, beaches and big well equipped supermarkets. Owners, the Bogdan family are worm and kind, great hosts, who live in own house in the same garden. They met us with welcome drinks and fruits – really great people! The house is perfectly clean, well equipped and spacious, we felt like at home so we highly recommend it!

    Very clean and confortable. Our apartament ( in Gemini building) was cleaned every day, we've got clean towels daily, was equiped with all the necessary things ( washing machine, hair dryer, coffee machine, etc.). We had a beautyful and large terrace. The sea is wonderful there, the beach is very long and you can find really good and quite places to sit in the shade/sun. Near is a very nice little town, Jelsa, were you can eat and have a nice evening.

    We had 2 bedroom apartment which was well eqipped with nice view, partial ocean view. Good location even if you need to walk some stairs from downtown Jelsa. Great host! Dog friendly (let them know about your dog when booking). Beautiful flowers all over the property. We asked about one particular flower where we could buy similar in a pot and the host arranged it for us for a good price. Thank you!

    The apartment was absolutely fantastic - the best we stayed in on our 2 week trip to Croatia. It felt like we were the first guests to ever stay there - incredibly clean and appealed to the senses. The hosts were really welcoming and had thought of everything. They even dropped us at the bus station on the day we checked out.
