Hotel Lone

Beautiful hotel, very clean , apart from stain on the carpet in our room, it looked like ink which may be why it wasn't possible to clean up. Agree with other reviews about the lack of entertainment & atmosphere. Buffet breakfast - very good although waiting staff very miserable! All other staff were great, cleaners made a point of saying hello & girls at the pool towel desk were happy, smiling & chatty every day. They are building a new hotel very near by & the noise was unbearable, especially when it started at 8am!!!! We were told the indoor pool in the spa was heated,but it was freezing. Agree with the other reviews about the spa jet pools also being cold. Point to note: no swimwear is allowed in the saunas!!!! Yes you have to be naked! This is not published anywhere, you only find out when you're at the actual door of the sauna! Another point to note: if you have a jazz room there is no bathroom privacy. A large window with wooden slats overlooks the bathroom (see photo) - there is no way of closing the slats as they're not shutters, there's no blind or curtain either!

The hotel is right on the ocean and an easy 20 minute walk to town. There are 2 other hotels on the property as well and many wonderful restaurantes to choose from both on the Lone and the hotel next door. The decoration of the hotel is a bit bizarre but the rooms are very spacious and have large balconies. The hotel has several pools (not heated) as well as a huge infinity pool. The property has a large wellness center as well, free bikes, and many hiking trails.

Fantastic hotel with super gorgeous rooms with bags of space, in fact the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The location was great, there was a pebble beach just behind the pool and the town was a gentle 15 minute stroll away. The only down side was there was no entertainment on in the hotel, few people sat in the bar area, mainly due to the cost of drinks there, so the lack of atmoshere was the only spoiler in that respect and as the weather can be changeable it would of been nice to be able to stay at the hotel rather than traipse in the rain to the town. The breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and superb quality, the staff were first class throughout. If you are looking for a relaxing, chilled break then this is definitely the hotel for you.

My family stayed here for three nights in September 2017, overall we had a lovely time. We stayed in a Premium Room on the 5th floor which was plenty big enough for the three of us with a side view of the sea. The outside pool area is lovely but the water was too cold for swimming (assume this is just due to time of the year) so we opted for the indoor pool which was slightly warmer with jacuzzi jets. It was a shame to be inside as it was warm outside. Unfortunately the mini-club was closed so we were unable to take our daughter here to play. The breakfast buffet was great with lots of choice. We had a lovely meal on Sunday night at 'Restaurant On' and were extremely disappointed that it wasn't open on the Monday night, so we went next door to Hotel Eden for buffet dinner which was mediocre.After dinner was a traditional Croatian dance group which was good! Only the a la carte was open for dinner on Monday night and I didn't see a single sole eating there - couldn't find a single thing on the menu we liked and no child menu for our daughter. Usually it is possible to walk along the seafront footpath from the Hotel to Old Town but there is a new hotel being built which meant we had to go a different route, which wasn't an issue just not as pretty. Old Town is very quaint with lots of cafes and restaurants and a few shops, would recommend a visit. One day we got a taxi from Old Town to the Hotel Lone as it was pouring with rain - this cost HRK 70 approx £9-10. There is a supermarket 5 minute walk away if you need to buy snacks and essentials. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

We upgraded to a grand room which was great - very big, lots of space, plus seating area and huge bed!! Used the swimming pool in the Spa once which was nice although the submerged pool in the sauna area was cold when I thought it was going to be heated!! 5 minutes walk to Lone Beach - we generally went later afternoon so no problem getting sun loungers. As with most of Croatia beach is very pebbly, but lovely bay to watch the sun go down. Had one meal in restaurant ON which was nice apart from the very slow service. Huge Buffett breakfast with lots of choice. Lovely cocktails in the hotel bar. Rovinj was beautiful- unfortunately there are building works going on around the bay so it meant the footpath was not accessible into town but it's still only a few minutes walk by road - just not as nice scenery! Staff very helpful. Hotel is big and modern which I like but some may find it a bit impersonal. Would definitely consider returning if ever went again to Rovinj.
