Hotel Katrca

Was off to a rocky start. The room configuration made half the bed inaccessible. Hotel was sold out so when spoke to owner by phone and she did not care just told us that we would be charged. Another owner came to show us that is was possible to split the beds past the steel beam. Still had to step over the beam every time. Once reconfigured it was acceptable but not enjoyable

We stayed for five nights. Our arrival was miserable. We drove from Split. Our intention was to arrive by 8pm, but due to some delays, we arrived at 9:30pm. The reception had left at 9pm. The front door was locked. There was a note: call a local number to gain entry. Being from Canada, we tried to avoid costly cellular roaming fees and were travelling with data only (eSIM). So we couldn’t call the number. After trying to contact the property via Expedia (which failed), we finally enabled roaming (expensive), and were able to speak to the property and they talked us into locating keys in a lock box. The room we got was room 7…one of three attic rooms. We had to lug our suitcases way up to an attic level…the stairs were not lighted…and we finally, using the phone’s flashlight, were able to enter the room. This room was built between roof trusses and beams. To get into the beds required climbing over wooden beams while avoiding hitting one’s head on a slanted wall/ceiling. Accessing one bed required climbing under a steel rod while climbing over a wooden beam. Quite dangerous and not acceptable in terms of safety. We stayed in this room for the first night but insisted that we receive a better room. We moved into room 2, not an attic room, for the last four nights. Note…the photos of the attic room skillfully manage to conceal the hazards. The lower level room was much better. It was nice, but there weren’t enough places to stash belongings/towels, but it was clean & tidy

Everything was great, but the room, évent it was charming, has a lot of beams and attics (slopes in the ceiling) so we had to be careful not to Hurt ourselves. Beside that, it was clean, cute, at 20 minutes by foot to the central place, the man who welcomed us was kind, proactive, and helpful. Moreover, the breakfast was included in the prices of the room.

Area around the hotel seemed very pleasant. Bus stop to town centre is a 5 min walk. I was allowed to leave my bag at the hotel before check-in time so I could go and explore the town centre luggage-free( just call the hotel when you arrive). Breakfast was included (not a huge choice though) staff were very helpful and polite. I was really impressed by the room. The room was very big and bright and had a small kitchen/dining area too.

Was a great little hotel and the staff were great. Wee bit out of the city in the student area, 20 min walk to centre
