Sheets are ok, but if you are on a tight budget, this is the place for you. Promised free wifi, but couldn't connect to it. lots of insects. one good thing is that the host is friendly and will help you with your itinerary. Otherwise, if possible stay at somewhere else.

Booked through Internet. Photo's looked OK. Reality was very different. Room dirty, 1/2 inch of dust on clock. Furniture old, scratched, saggy. Disgusting. Looked like they had been there for 20 years. A few bits of missed matched pieces of crockery and glasses. I had a cold shower but water had heated when husband used it. Every time we went... More

I've stayed at the Jadran 3 times now and all of my stays have been perfect. Mary, Brian. Michelle and Amanda have all been lovely and nothing is too much. Yes, it is one of the older hotels in the area and it's not 5 star, but it is clean, quiet, comfortable and central to everything. My first stay was... More

We stayed one night at the El Jay Holiday Lodge, and we found it perfectly adequate for the price. We had a nice, clean apartment room with cooking facilities and a nice large fridge. We checked in quite late, so Michelle left our room unlocked for us. We were Hot Air Ballooning the next morning, so we were gone quite... More

First of all i've got to say.. if you want luxury.. pay 300-800 dollars a night for another hotel. But if you want cheap clean safe accommodation you can pay between 60-90 dollars a night and stay here.. When we checked in we where greeted by a very nice lady who lives in the first flat next to the office...... More

We arrived and couldn't find anyone to check us in. We rang the buzzer for around 5 mins then decided to find a phone number, as none was displayed. We were then checked in by someone who "lived" there on the first floor. The whole hotel was pretty much used for full time renters, ppl who made it their home.... More

I was not quite impressed with this motel. When we entered the room there was a musty smell too it, probably because there was somone else there before we checked in. They should have opened the balcony windows or the bedroom windows to let the smell go out. It is a nice little set up, but I didnt feel comfortable... More
