Hotels near Istria Bike Service Station, Brtonigla

Just returned from a beautiful holiday visited this hotel several years ago now !loved it then and still do! About an hour distance from airport which to be honest went quickly due to the beautiful scenery! Hospitality is wonderful by all in Novigrad !even at one of the local banks where we managed to exchange the kunas we’d accumulated over the years ! there was no problem at all at the bank to exchange to euros! With no charge! Hotel was in a beautiful location a great walk into the town managed to do at least 10000 steps a day we so earnt a few beers and beautiful lunch in novigrad!Watch out for mosquitoes they really are out and about at the moment! As for the hotel the service was excellent! The restaurant never disappointed and the rooms were kept spotless ! Thankyou hotel maestral we will be back! A truly class holiday!!

We required some room facilities through hotel application form but it seems nobody reads this. Also the receptionist didn't inform us about additional facilities we can use so we had to remind him. Restaurant food is ok but there is a feeling that there is not enough stuff and that they cannot prepare tables on time. The room was ok but needs renovation. Cooling unit was leaking and during the first night ceiling fell on the floor and we had water all over. Hotel reacted fast and during our breakfast they repaired the ceiling. After repairing water was steel pouring from the climate but ceiling didn't fall again during our stay. Room was cleaned every day and that was ok. Last day we spotted cockroaches on the floor.

Only open seasonally. The staff I spoke with was from Bali and Lombok. They return to their country when the season is over or work on cruise ships. With only six room, it’s quite a cozy boutique hotel nestled in a beautiful area of Istria’s very lush and green countryside. The town is super small and quiet except for the music school where you can hear musicians practicing their skills. We were even serenaded by several singers when having dinner at one of the local restaurants. An impromptu performance that was charming. Something to remember. Of all the great hotels I stayed at during this nearly four-week biking trip, the staff here was definitely the friendliest though their English was not the most proficient. They tried so hard to please and be of service. They wanted so much to learn about us as well. Great conversations to be had. Breakfast can be eaten outdoor overlooking the valley or indoor. The weather was on my side so I went outside to enjoy the sun coming up over the valley and the fresh air. As the name indicates, the place was built in 1798 but was renovated in 2018. Beautiful rooms, modern and a bit on the eclectic side. Bright inviting colors, lots of space. The only issue I had was with the internet. It took ages and several tries to finally connect. They are proud to serve local food. Here, I got to taste the famous Skuta Sheep Milk Cheese. Everything fresh and delicious although not a lot of choices compared to most other hotels. Considering that there are only six rooms, however, it’s adequate. Nothing is far from this hotel as the walled town is minuscule. Few parking spots, most park at the church and walk to town. I came by bike so didn’t have to worry about that. It will take less than one hour to see it all. Artistic feel, medieval vibe. The day I was there, there was a small flea market in the courtyard in front of the hotel. Not sure how often that happens. Local artists were there. All in all, I would definitely return to this hotel should I be in this area again.

Why this hotel has 5 stars again? Very disappointed at our arrival, the hotel is far from being modernised. All around there are old red carpets with some (i hope) coffee stains or something like that which 5 stars hotel should not have! The furniture in the room is outdated, especially bathroom (the picture is very different than on booking site). There is no lotion which 3 stars hotel have. The balcony was dirty with leaves and cobwebs. Our bed was 2 single beds connected into one and it was really unfortable sleeping on this (even thought the side said the opposite). Also the minibar or fridge is empty and the tv is probably a little bit bigger than my laptop. After a long day and bad weather me and my partner decided to go to the spa/pool. What a scam! The pool was full with people and children jumping around and only 5 beds to relax or even put your coat on? the pool is soo small that i dont know maybe max. 10 people can move in it? We dont want to be squeezed in (Also there is no jacuzzi? )so we decided to go to the spa. Here comes the bigger scam. We asked a lady if we can go in the spa and she said that all places for the spa are already taken and the next free place is next day after 10am (time for check out). We cannot use the spa (or a pool) becuase we had the checkout the next day. They have a rule that in the spa you can only be for one hour but on not really my suprise people stayed there for 3h+ because ofcourse noboday would kicked them out. Anyway I dont even know why we book that hotel were we cannot go in the pool our use spa. SCAM. Not to mention that the hotel has 400* rooms so the logic behind the size of the pool in really poor. The biggest scam of our mini stay was food. We chose 4 or more stars hotel especially beacuse of the food. The food was DISGUSTING. There are no mini boards with name of the dish so you dont really know what the hell you are eating. The food was belowe the avrage in terms of quality. Also the food dissapeared so fast beacuse of football teenage players (there were 2 teams or) and imaginate that you SHOULD WAIT MORE THAN 30min IN THE 5 stars hotel to make (they didnt even made it btw) a dish that is missing and promised. Really small choice of food left (we came early on the dinner just beacuse of that) Anyway I wanted to eat the chicken breast salami (idk if it was a turkey because there is no label to know what the f*** is this meat) and when I looked at it it was yellow (i dont even wanna know how old was this salami). The fruit was so old that kiwi was dry and some of bananas were brown/black. For dessert you can only have 3 options and one of them is the old friut in the glass (again why is this 5 stars hotel???) Also the tables and chairs around us was so outdated and tables were not cleans (full of crumbs ew). The breakfast is nothing special, they dont have 1,5% milk or lower (there are no labels again). Also for the omellete you should wait around 15 minutes because there is just one guy

Снимади двухкомнатный номер сьют для семьи с двумя детьми в авгусе в разгар сезона. Отель 3*, но несомненно стоит своих денег, по уровню сервиса лучше многих четверок. Особености: 1) Очень маленькие номера (размеры как в отелях Гонг-конга или старых зданиях европейских городов). Вдвоем в номере перемещаться будет тесновато, чемодан полноценно раскрыть можно только на балконе. 2) Бесплатных лежаков не хватает на всех, поэтому занимать удобные места надо с вечера или рано утром. 3) Персонал в баре у бассейна иногда хитрит, работая без чеков или продавая напитки по цене выше, чем в меню. Плюсы: 1) Чисто и ухожено все, включая номера, общие зоны и территорию вокруг отеля. Номер убирали каждый день. 2) Большой собственный бассейн, достаточно много лежаков вокруг него, также вокруг есть своя зеленая зона на траве с лежаками под зонтами или в тени сосен и кипарисов. 3) Неплохой ресторан-столовая с напитками, включенными в стоимость завтраков и ужинов. За 2 недели отдыха надоесть не успел, блюда на ужине меняются каждый вечер, по четвергам день местной кухни. 4) Детей бесплатно кормят обедами. Для семей с детьми это просто спасение. 5) Множество бесплатных развлечений в течение всего дня, начиная от аквагимнастики йоги и волейбола и заканчивая дискотекой для детей и шоу для взрослых по вечерам. Ксждый найдет что-то свое. 6) Хороший пляж в 1 минуте хотьбы от отеля. Нет необходимости платить за лежаки на пляже - можно оставлять вещи на лежаках у бассейна и ходить купаться в море.

We have been going to hotel Molindrio for 10 years with my parents and sister and are club members. Every year has been a great experience but that all changed this year. From the beginning the reception has told us every year that we are free to use the beach at hotel Parentium and we are also able to use the white chairs to lie down. We have been doing this ever since. This year we were approached by life guards at the beach asking us why we were using the white chairs if we are not guests of hotel Parentium, because this was not allowed. We explained that we have been doing this for years and had been told by the reception that this was not a problem because we were guests at the sister hotel Molindrio. When we made the reception aware of this altercation with the life guards they first claimed that these chairs were never offerd to us by the reception and that we were lucky that we had not been caught earlier for using these chairs ( which made us feel absolutely horrible, we just did what the reception has told us for years that we could do ), after we explained that we are not lying and have been guest for 10 years and have always been using these chairs they switched up the story and told us that there is a new management and there are new rules so we cannot use these chairs at the beach anymore ( so now we are not liars but the new director has given these orders, reception could have just told us this from the start instead of making us look like liars ). So we had to lie down on the concrete. My dad has a bad back and instead if a relaxing vacation his back got even worse from lying on the hard concrete with just a towel. Absolutely disgraceful! Furthermore the food this year was of very poor quality. The fruit they served was either rotten or without taste, which left us really feeling disappointed especially because we have been coming here for years and have always been so satisfied with the food. Needless to say we will not be coming back anymore after being treated this way. We are very disappointed.
