Hotel Odisej  

The service at the pizzeria linked to the Hotel was fantastic. Very friendly waiter and waitress, which was a lovely change from the norm in the Hotel!

Bathroom in room was not acceptable. The shower basin had been glued back together with silicone which had turned a brown colour. The shower basin also leaked so that when you had a shower the water escaped and flooded the bathroom floor. It looked like it had been in this state for quite a few months. In addition the staff, both at the bar and reception (with the excpetion of the one lady that checked us in) were extremely cold verging on rude. On two seperate occassions a simple request for a bottle of water from the bar staff felt as if we were getting in their way, even though the bar was very quiet. A similar experience was provided at the reception. They could do with a reminder that tourism is how they earn a condsiderable fraction of their income and should not treat tourists as nuisances. I am from Dublin, Ireland so some may say I am used to a higher standard of service, however a simple hello and a smile would have been more than enough from any of the staff.

The reviews of this hotel weren't particularly good, but it was the only hotel handy for the national park so we decided just to book a standard room without seaview or balcony (because other guests had mentioned problems with noise from boats). When we arrived we were given a room with balcony and sea view anyway, which actually turned out to be very nice--great view over the moored yachts and a large balcony with comfortable seating and somewhere to dry towels and bathing costumes. We shut the doors at night and put the aircon on so weren't aware of noise from the boats--I can see that if the aircon wasn't working this might not be possible in the middle of summer. The decor in the rooms is quite old fashioned but in quite a pleasant way (lots of dark varnished wood, like being on a boat), and the beds were a bit soft but not at all uncomfortable. Staff were helpful with lots of good tips on where to cycle/swim etc. There is no hotel pool but there was a nice public swimming area 30 yards along the road which was perfect for pre- breakfast swims/late afternoon dips.

Reception was a little understaffed--only one person seemed to be on duty at a time so if they were dealing with a more complicated query a queue could build up of people just waiting for their room keys, which was sometimes a bit frustrating. The bathroom was perfectly clean but did not smell particularly fresh when we arrived (this was also mentioned in a number of other reviews) but we left the extractor fan on for a few hours and the smell pretty much disappeared.

On arrival the receptionist was warm and friendly, and we were able to check in to our room at midday despite the advertised 2pm on our booking form. The hotel has an excellent location, surrounded by lots of activities and sites. As the hotel is situated in the National Park, your np fee is included in the booking and they give you your passes on arrival. The room was comfortable and clean, and most importantly in August; well air conditioned. Wifi access was available in the reception area where there are plenty of seating, and also a couple of computers for those who don't have an internet device. For breakfast there are cold hams and cheeses, pancakes, cereal, yoghurt, fruit, and cooked eggs, bacon and veg. Other guests tend to feast excessively, but there are plenty of staff around to replenish if you need to ask. As we were travelling from the Sobra port, they also have a minibus service they can arrange for you. As three star hotels go, it's got all you need.

The location.

The staff was not friendly, the room was dirty, the room was noisy. Overall, it is overated for what it is.

Very nice breakfast and staff.

Really bad smell in room bathroom Please substitute shower curtain for shower screen, the bathroom is quite unconfortable like that.

The staff at the hotel were excellent, very helpful and accommodating.

The hotel is a 3 star at best, the bathroom was fairly clean but not spotless and the balcony doors did not shut particularly securely. The hotel is not value for money, we paid 158 euro for just one night, and found a private room just 100 yards away from the hotel which was far superior and had a better view and paid just 40 euro per night!!

Very close to beautiful national park perfect for cycling, canoeing and swimming.

Very dated hotel with bad odours in the corridors and impersonal approach to service.

I booked this hotel as it was the only conventional hotel option close to the lakes on the island. It was a convenient location and that is about it.

My immediate impression of the hotel was spoiled by the receptionist that greeted us. She was unfriendly and unsmiling. On arrival in our room we found a terrible sewage smell in the bathroom. When we complained to the lady at reception she offered no apology and made us, the guests, go around to check out other rooms. After 2 further unsuccessful rooms due to the same smell and a dirty toilet, we demanded that she, as it is her job, find us a suitable room. She did not have the skills that a person working in the hospitality business should have. Also, the hotel advertised a pool, which was in fact a tiny kids pool about half a foot deep.

It has an incredible location with easy access to swimming, hiking, biking and other water sports far away from the hustle and bustle of busier Croatian holiday spots

Fantastic location and very helpful staff

Rooms and especially bathrooms need updating

Incredible location in the national park. Beds were quite comfortable.

Hideous decor. Advertised as internet in the room, this was not the case. Very bad food in hotel breakfast. Shower head broken. Very expensive compared to all other accommodation on the island purely based on location. National Park additional fee not clear in booking, bad communication from both hotel and booking.com beforehand trying to clear it up. Wifi only worked next to hotel desk, very weak / intermittent signal. Cramped room.

Hôtel très bien situé à proximité des chemins de randonnée

Bruits de couloirs et système de ventilation situé à l'arrière de l'hôtel bruyant.

La situation de l'hotel , situé dans le parc naturel et trés prés des lacs , la vue du balcon de la chambre....trop belle , aussi bien au lever qu'au coucher du soleil , la propreté de la chambre , le grand grand lit !!!!le petit dej "pantagruélique" !!! le personnel aimable , la receptionniste n'a pas hésité , à nous changer de chambre à notre arrivée , nous étions trés (trop) bien placés au 1° étage de l'hotel , mais juste devant les quais , où un voilier était rangé ...mais avec une musique de fous...pas du tout ce que nous recherchions dans un parc naturel...nous nous sommes retrouvés , dans le second batiment au calme avec vue sur la mer et les iles........et non plus sur le petit port ....trop top !!!

Les draps si peu larges..par rapport au lit si grand .
