Grand Villa Argentina  

Be carefull when your booked . in the web hotel villa argentina appears as five luxury star hotel , and it's but they have a second building crossing the road that you pay a room as one at the principal bulding .the difference in price was just from 20 € up to 50 € per night , but rooms in this secundary building were as a mousetrap .I made the reservation 7 months before my trip and in booking web site I can not choose sea or garden view .the view from my room was a wall al around that you can touch with your fingers from your window and we're in ground floor. We paied 240€/per night .dON'T you think is too much for a mousetrap ?.I can send photos if you liked .booking we bsite for brithish and germans could choose type of rooms. Not posible when I booked 3 double rooms for 3 nights in this hotel 2.070 €of mouse traps

Sea view was great, beds were good and the room was clean, breakfast was also good.

We booked a "cheap" room, if you can call 190 euro per night cheap, so we knew that we could not expect the luxury of some other rooms. However, a five-star hotel should not even have the kind of room that we had in the villa opposite the main building. There was nearly no day-light, since the wall of the adjacent build, one metre from our window, prevented it all. Also the textiles used were dark and dated. If you book this hotel, you should probably book only a room with sea view.

1.Air condition are very poor in 6 th(VI) floor rooms same as sauna!!!!!!!!!!! 2. BEFOR ARRIVE I PAID EXTRA MONEY FOR THE BIG DELUX ROOM AND RECEIVED CONFIRMATION FOR DELUX ROOM WITH BALCONY ,BIG ROOM +- 35 M2, BUT ON ARRIVEL THEY GIVE ME STANDARD ROOM! AFTER LONG DISCUSSION THEY GIVE ME BIG ROOM ON 6 -TH FLOOR AND TRY TO CHARGE EXTRA MONEY. AS I MANTION POOR AIRCO ON THIS FLOORS SO, I DO NOT PAY EXTRA! FOR YOU INFO AND ADVICE YOUR COSTUMERS ABOUT THIS HOTEL!!

Lovely view from room: sea, anchored liners, nearby island and best of all the walls of Dubrovnik. We booked a room in the main building with sea view but no balcony which was a good move: we were on the top floor (7) and the rooms with balconies appeared to be on floors 5 and below and I suspect their views could have been partially obscured by the hotel breakfast area. Wonderful swimming area in sea at base of hotel (take the lift on the left hand side to floor 0 which goes to one level above the swimming area, the other lift only goes as far down as floor 1 which is several storeys higher up). Good buffet breakfast. Very helpful staff--when we asked for advice about onward travel by ferry to one of the islands, the receptionist was spot on with information and also arranged our transfers (including the one at the other end). Good location--we could walk into the walled centre of Dubrovnik in about 10 minutes (possibly slightly less on the way there as it was downhill!)

A small point but we asked for a double room and got two twin beds made up separately with separate bedding and duvets and pushed together. This was the case in three of the four places we stayed in Croatia. (In the fourth we still got two beds but they were made up as a double, so perhaps this is just what they do here.) The bathroom extractor fan did not work. Everything else about the room was fine so we didn't ask to be moved. It was not a problem for us, but other potential guests might want to note that the swimming area would not be particularly suitable for children--there's a small pool and a big swimming area in the sea (access via ladders, straight into fairly deep water). There were lots of sunloungers and umbrellas, so perfect for quiet relaxation, but no beach or anywhere for children to play.

Great location 10 min from the old city with great views pool area just divine.

We received a Sea view upgrade with we thought would be fantastic. Upon receiving our room key did we notice our room wasn't even in the hotel. We had to walk up 70 steps to our room with out a lift, every time we wanted to go to our room. Shower pressure was terrible including hot water we requested it to be fixed, twice with no avail. Room was also small value for money 1/5

I thought the staff were very friendly, professional , and very obliging. I loved the bath robes, the beds and pillows and the l'octane soaps shampoos/ conditioners. I loved the champagne breakfast. Note, Jo Hinge has completed this review. Travelling companion of Jennifer Robey

One two minor issues, there was only one computer to access the internet in the business centre and when you have thick hair you need a hair dryer with a more intense output.

Location

Rooms very tired and dull, not 5 star status, never, service very poor, staff discourteous and un-helpful, I waited 1 hour and 30 minutes to check in, the Receptionist made me feel as an inconvenience to her, I will not stay again.

The views were spectacular both out to sea, the islands and across to Dubrovnik.

Fantastic location and facitilties. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the hotel makes for an excellent base while exploring the Dubrovnik riviera.

The location of the hotel for access to old Town of Dubrovnic is excellent.Outdoor pool area is great for the view and for comfort and the young staff were very polite and friendly.

The terrace where the breakfast is served offers a marvelous view over the old town of Dubrovnik. A fantastic hotel!

location, beach, view

the aircondition (not working properly), the size of the room was quite small considering it is a 5star hotel

Firstly the fantastic location! Right on the sea front and a very short stroll into old Dubrovnik. The standard at this hotel is good. The staff were friendly and the hotel valet unloaded my car and parked it. I didn´t worry about it again until I checked out two days later! Our room (superior double) was of course not cheap but the standard reflected the cost in my opinion.The salt water pool situated on the sea edge was refreshing and clean with sufficient sunbeds for the hotel´s guests even in peak season. Another good point for the sunbathing area was the free towel set up. Not necessary to check towles in and out of reception when you arrive as they are placed by the pool entrance in abundance on a daily basis. Lunch at the "beach bar?" Two flights of steps up from the poolside was good value and good quality. Any sceptic people who do not believe the countless praises of the view of Old Dubrovnik from the breakfast area should be prepared for a shock. It really is that good!

We did eat one evening meal in the hotel´s best dining room where the staff were very friendly and attentive but the quality of the food did not do the hotel justice in my opinion. Little choice of sea food bizarrley given the location and the ´á la carte´ food served to us was not a good advertisment for the argentina.
