    Terrible sewer smell in the bathroom. Lack of basics like a coffee maker or water boiler. Very expensive for what it offered.

    I am unhappy about my data being accessible to third parties, I had to pay an extra fee for this accommodation which was not recognised by the hotel and I paid 2x, being very careful when booking a room at this hotel.

    Who in the world thought the step stairs in our bedroom was a good idea? I hurt my knee prior to the trip, so I never actually got to use the bed. We slept on the pullout couch. I was offered another room but we loved our view. The staff put an additional mattress on the pullout, so I was comfortable, but if regular stairs were in the design, I would have been able to navigate. Design flaw, not a point against staff. Just a note of caution if you have any mobility issues. It looked pretty though lol. Also I bought a bath mat cos shower was slippy without. Wish bar was open a little later as they have such a great view they could exploit for those guests coming back from dinner elsewhere. Breakfast was a pass. Very disappointing but dinner was great.

    Staff were amazing and accommodating. The room was kept extremely clean, and the balcony in our room had an amazing view. The masseuse, Christina, was fantastic. Overall, with the exception of the bedroom design, we were very happy. Pool area pretty, too.

    Our room with a view turned out to be a room on the side of the hotel with only the balcony with a view. The hotel did give us a different room, but it had no working air conditioning and a balcony so small you couldn't sit on it. It took 2 days of complaining before we were moved us to an acceptable room. The manager did give us a discount for our discomfort, but it didn't help that for 2 days we had to sleep with the windows open in a stuffy room and were covered in mosquito bites! We found the breakfast ample but not healthy or local, what you would find in a cheap hotel in Europe. Where is the modern awareness of fresh food, fresh juices, local honeys, tisanes from the hundreds of local herbs? Considering it is the best hotel in the area it could be so much better!

    The view was nice. The staff pleasant. The location was good.

    Restaurant was closed for guests, restaurant staff was little abrupt. Aleksandra from reception was amazing host and very helpful as we had to amend our arrival - Thank you so much! Else fairly pleasant stay, although the mattresses could be replaced as they passed their time. Also the rooms could have at least kettle especially if you stay longer there’s no other amenities available.

    Location and big terrace outside the room.

    The breakfast needs to be definitely improved. There is no becon, there is no toast just fresh bread, the brioches have medium quality as well as the mixed cold cuts. You have to pay for espresso...

    In room 26 the air conditioner makes the same noise as a helicopter but the balcony is nice, it has a nice view of the sea.

    The pool (wellnes) was closed the whole time. The breakfast is like in a 2 star hotel. You have to come early to get normal bread and croissants. At 9 there is only the cheapeast bread available. And the staff dont care about this. The AC can be controlled only from the reception. The TV in the room was probably bought in the 90s, there are 5 channels in total with poor quality. Inwatchable. All in all, this is NOT a 4 star hotel. We dont know how rhis Hotel could receive 4 stars.

    The rooms were spacious and clean.

    Large selection for meat eaters at breakfast. Could have been been more variety for others. Mosquito nets at the windows would be nice as the air conditioning is turned off and it was 27-30 degrees C at night in the room.

    This hotel is situated in an idyllic location - and is ideal for a beach holiday, but also as a base to discover the islands of Cres and Lošinj. It is very quiet and comfortable and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We've returned here again and again and again.

    We found the bed was a little low too close to the floor.

    We arrived at hotel Zlatni Lav at Martinšćica on the island of Cres to a welcoming reception. The hotel is lovely and located just a short walk away from the beach ⛱. The receptionist, Ajka was lovely and helpful 😊 and our room was great. 👍🏻

    This establishment is a shambles and I had the worst experience in all my many years of travel at the hands of the most obnoxious, rude, discourteous man I have ever had the misfortune to cross paths with, a sentiment offered independently to me by another guest there. And this man was just the receptionist whose opening gambit when I politely asked if he spoke English, was to snarl back at me "of course I speak English". Be under no illusion, there are NO facilities whatsoever at this "hotel"; no bars, no restaurants, no snack bars, no terraces; you cannot even get a cup of coffee and if you ask, you will be told to go into town for one. The building next door USED to be the restaurant but the receptionist abruptly told me when I enquired about an evening meal that it is closed, the chef had CoVID and if I wanted to eat I would have to walk down into the town. So, a single woman in her 60s, being told to walk into an unknown town (on her own) if she wanted to eat - how this man thinks that is acceptable is beyond me. Having seen the 'restaurant' in the morning at breakfast, it is obvious this building has not been used as a functioning restaurant for many many months if not years (a review in 2021 refers to there being no restaurant then) so draw your own conclusions. As for the breakfast, it isn't even worthy of comment (black bugs on lemon slices)! This company's own website (http://www.hotel-zlatni-lav.com/?lang=en) bears no resemblance to the property you see today and the information on booking.com is neither accurate or up-to-date. "Free WiFi access is provided in public areas", however there are no public areas other than the reception. There are no tea or coffee making facilities, not even a kettle in the room. There is a mini-bar, whoop-de-do. In my room there was no soap in the sink dispencer and the plug was broken.

    Nothing.

    Definetly behavior of reception stuff could be much better, less rude. The room was very noisy, every movement from the corridor, every door opened could be heard.

    The location of hotel is very good, člověk to the beach, restaurants, nice view from the room.

    The service was bad. The breakfast was very poor and tasteless- no choice, not sufficient for all the guests, they would refill it only if asked explicitly. Milk and yoghurt in jars. Feels like 80s. Coffee awful.

    Cleaning service was adequate.
