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.

    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.

    It is beautiful to stay the whole year, except July and August, because is so much crowd. I recommend to all my friends to go in June or September. Jelsa have everything you need, and is good starting point to explore the Island of 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.

    Very pretty and clean with a good range of restaurants and easy access to the catamaran to Brac and Split. There are plenty of places to bath from the rocks and even in the town which we preferred to the main beach. Found an incredible restaurant in the winding back streets called Nono's. It was so pretty and the food was incredible, great if you like steak or seafood. We had the best steak we've had in a very long time.

    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.

    This is a lovely B&B In a great location - just a few minutes walk from the heart of Jelsa. Magda, the owner, was very friendly and attentive. The room had a balcony with a lovely view and was very comfortable for a solo traveller, just as well as for a couple. Breakfast was great - lots of options and Magda was also happy to take special requests. Great value for money. Magda also let me store my suitcase in the hotel after check out so I could enjoy the day walking around Jelsa

    Spacious and stylishly designed room just minutes from Jelsa’s historical centre. Very comfortable bed and air conditioning to retreat to after a full day of exploring the waterfront. Toiletries, hairdryer, triable Wi-Fi and tv available. Our host was very helpful and attentive. Provided directions on how to get to the property and greeted us upon arrival. Don’t miss this unforgettable breakfast - fresh fruit, coffee, freshly baked pastries, eggs, yogurt and plenty of juices.

    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!

    It was a great stay at Mina Lux apartment, location is perfect, on one end it's few minutes from the beach, on the other few minutes from Jelsa center. The apartment is really nice, very clean and well equipped, air conditioned and with all supplies needed. Marko and Maja were amazing hosts, very responsive, helpful and hospitable.

    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.

    The location was really great. We were close to a nice beach (Mina Beach). The city center is really close. The communication with host was great. And in our case we went with a personal car so it was a plus to have a parking space.
