Hotel Komodor

The conditions could be better

This moderate hotel is in a great location. Easy quick bus access to Old Town, beautiful Adriatic views, and lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. The buffet breakfast was a real bonus. The only reason I didn’t give this hotel all five stars is because their mattresses and towels could use a little updating…but found that to be true of most towels in the moderate places we stayed. I would definitely recommend this hotel to all moderate travelers and I would stay here again myself.

The hotel is in Lapad near a lovely bay and an easy bus ride from Old Town. The room was good sized, queen bed and lots of closet/drawer space, missing in many hotels. There was no fridge, so I had to get ice from the bar. No safe in room, but one was provided near the front desk. Television had many channels, including British news, but no CNN. Included breakfast was bountiful with much to eat. The downside was lack of information re the local area. I arrived late and by the time I came down to eat, I was told nothing was available, except a small market about to close, so I rushed there and bought some awful packaged meat, some bread and a diet coke. I asked about the surrounding area, presuming there were restaurants near the bay, and was told there were a couple a bit of a walk on the left side. This was important, because after my first exhausting day in Old Town, there was little to do on the 2nd, so I returned to the hotel at 4 pm. At 6pm and not needing a full meal, I asked where I could get some sandwiches, since no restaurants were nearby save the buffet at the hotel. I was pointed to a bakery nearby and was shocked there were other lively establishments and a full market. Amazing is that the otherwise helpful staff didn't prepare me for what I discovered my final day. I went to the bay road and on the right side saw many, many restaurants and shops. No one told me and when I told the staff they said they knew, but had never told me. The question is why?

Nice beachfront hotel a short drive to the old city. Great sunset views. Breakfast is served and is delicious

Good breakfast
