I chose this hotel, especially for the view, given that the length of stay was short. Reading the reviews & notes, I had some “emotions”. Subsequent conclusions: first of all, I do not understand the criticisms brought, respectively I cannot relate to most of them; secondly, I had an unforgettable experience through the varied breakfast, cleanliness, location and the hotel staff (very helpful and sociable). Thus, the quality-price ratio is a very good one. The pictures on the website correspond to reality, so that just because the furniture is not new, does not mean that a hotel is not good (make a distinction).

The grade I gave is not the highest because I think that certain details in the room should be improved & more carefully finished.

This is a prime example of how an older hotel with average but quality renovation can shine due to its exceptional staff and their attitude. We spent four wonderful days in early May at this hotel with our family. The breakfasts are great, though we missed having fresh vegetables. Overall, the food was standard and satisfying. The staff at the hotel is simply wonderful—polite, helpful, and attentive! Everyone we interacted with went above and beyond to address our questions and problems. When my wife was ill and we asked for a kettle to heat water for tea, they brought us not only a kettle but also medicines, honey, and lemon. For my daughter's birthday, they surprised us with a delicious cake that wasn't even on the restaurant menu. The hotel's location is fantastic! It’s near the beach and the central Babiego Street, which is perfect for strolling. The coastline is also great for walks, and there's a bus stop nearby that takes you to the Old Town in 20 minutes. However, the hotel is not suitable for disabled guests or those with mobility issues, as there are many steps and no elevators or ramps. Families with children might find it challenging as there are limited activities apart from the beach. Overall, we are very satisfied with the hotel! The price-quality ratio is excellent!

The only things we didn't like were the bed and the door handles—I was tempted to buy some WD-40 and fix them myself

The staff are nice and friendly, and the view from the hotel is calm and peaceful—perfect for relaxing, which was one of the reasons we chose it. You can easily order a Bolt to the Old Town for around 5–7 euros, which was super convenient.

The hotel has kind of old facilities and maybe needs some improvement. The shower is a bit small, with no exhaust or window. The room is not soundproof—you can hear people from the hallway, and even when you’re in the toilet, you can hear other guests. Breakfast was okay, but during our 3-day stay, the food choices were exactly the same. Apparently, they don’t change the options. Also, not recommended for older people or those with disabilities—the hotel has about 3 floors and no elevator. Good thing our room was on the first floor.

The staff were great and very helpful. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the bay which afforded a beautiful view. The hotel is spacious and in a great location. You could eat as much as you liked with their a buffet style breakfast. It is a bus ride into the old town but there are plenty of good bars and restaurants near by.

The hotel is a bit dated and various things were being painted and repaired when we were there. The Adriatic is beautiful but there are ugly concrete platforms, steps and half derelict buildings along the front near the hotel.

Staff were amazing really friendly, great choice for breakfast and great location

Bedrooms were a bit dated could definitely do with a revamp but was so clean so didn’t mind too much

Private beach is a great touch. There is a beautiful cliff walk path with restaurants & bar in just 10 mins walking distance. The sunset view from this area is beautiful. They have a very good and wide assortiment for buffet breakfast. Kind and helpful staff. The outside seating of the hotel bar overlooking mountain and sea was blissful.

Nothing specific. The only remark is that they have a central heating/cooling system for rooms. So, each room can not be cooled or heated to the likeness of the guests. For us, it was quite warm in the room, so we had to keep the balcony doors open always even when we were out. But other aspects of this hotel shadowed this one item.

The location of Hotel Vis is great. Right on the beautiful coastline with views across the bay. Far enough out of town to feel peaceful and relaxing, but also close enough (easy and regular direct bus service, or a nice walk) to town to be able to visit all of the lovely sights and attractions that Dubrovnik has to offer. From the moment you enter the lobby of the hotel, you can tell that it's very well-run. Nice and clean, and fresh-smelling. You receive a very warm welcome from the professional, knowledgable, and exceptionally friendly staff. The room I stayed in was of a good standard and was clean, and had a balcony (complete with table and chairs) overlooking the bay. It was on the top (2nd) floor, so up two flights of stairs. I have to say, there are steps within the hotel between the lobby and the stairs leading to the rooms, and also steps from the street level down to the front door of the hotel. This was all fine for me, but it's a potential issue for anyone with limited mobility, and completely unsuitable for wheelchair/scooter users, as there is no lift in the hotel. This would be my only criticism. Hotel Vis offers several meal packages to suit individual requirements. I opted for a package to include breakfast only, as I like to go out and sample local eateries when I travel (there are some very nice ones in the Lapad area and in Dubrovnik town itself). The breakfast was buffet-style, and had a wide variety of hot and cold food and drink options. I was very happy with it. On that note - one day, I took the opportunity to go on one of the many excursions of the area, but I had to leave early in the morning, before breakfast was due to start. On speaking to the reception staff about this, they very kindly arranged for a 'breakfast box' to be prepared for me, which I just had to collect from reception early the following morning. Just another example of the very friendly and helpful staff doing what they do best.

Lovely area, directly on beach - had beautiful sea view. Bus to Oldtown was only €2.50ea and outside door of hotel , they arrived every 15/20mins. Lots of lovely restraunts in short walking distance . Lovely promenade walk on opposite side of bay 5mins away . Breakfast that was included had plenty of everything- hot & cold food & fresh croissants , tea coffee & juices. Housekeeper for room was 1st class - fresh towels every day & sheets changed many times during 7night stay. Fresh fruit basket in room as a welcome token was a nice touch

I didnt use sunbeds on the beach as we didnt lie in sun but price of €15 ea - I feel is expensive for hotel guests

We arrived early and told our room was ready which was a good start We found reception staff and cleaners very helpful and super friendly . Clean towels every day and beds made Fantastic view from our balcony with the sound of the sea at night We always found plenty to eat at breakfast and ate 3 nights in the hotel at the buffet which was also very good and plenty to pick from . Our waiter Alexa was fantastic and very entertaining Yes our room had brown wooden furniture ( maybe not Insta ready for some ) but it was clean and we didn’t come to Croatia to stay in our room all day . Our balcony view well made up for it Pebble beach so bring your beach shoes but the sea is very clear and snorkeling was great Also very quiet at night There is a forest park a few minutes walk uphill from the hotel which is very nice and has some lovely views The number 4 bus ( bus stop across the street ) will get you into the old town in about 10 minutes We certainly had a fabulous time and will be back next year

The hotel has a fantastic location, it's literally on the beach! The view over the sea and the mountains from the restaurant is fabulous 😊 The hotel is very clean and neat, our room was cleaned daily, the air conditioning was working perfectly. The bus stop is just across the road, very easy to get to the Old Town (15 minutes by bus nr. 4). Breakfast and dinner were really good. I'm a vegetarian, and I could always find a lot of things to eat. Warm croissants and baked vegetables for breakfast were sooo good! We really enjoyed our stay and recommend this hotel!

The parasols and the sunbeds on the beach are very expensive. 30 euro per day for one parasol and two sunbeds. Also, drinks are not included in the dinner, you have to pay for them if you want to drink something.
