Hotels Near Grand Casinò Portorož in Municipality of Piran

The best hotel ever!! New and Glamorous ! Excellent staff. Large clean rooms. Amazing breakfast & dinner buffets with waterfront views. Has several bar areas with amazing views. Will definitely return.

The hotel is located right on the beach (well, what goes as ‘beach’ here – basically a concrete deck up to the sea), with all rooms having a sea view. It is still within easy reach of the centre of Piran, reached by a path along the coast. As you reach the hotel, you will find that parking is a real issue – there are not enough parking lots for all 50+ rooms, and the area is popular for going to the beach; the public parking lots charge 15 € per day, are at least 100 m away, and fill up as well. The reception is friendly and efficient. Once you are checked in, you walk through the breakfast room and up a ramp to a single, small, old elevator that takes you up to the rooms in the main building; it doesn’t inspire much confidence, so most guests only use it to bring their luggage to / from the rooms – it’s only three storeys max… While some rooms (those with numbers ending with x06 to x09) face the lake and the coastline of Piran, the rest is built to face more towards the sea; that makes little difference in terms of the views, but keeps the sun out more. The rooms are small for two people, in particular the wardrobe – it looks like it is rather made for a stay of a few days than for a week or two. There is a little fridge / minibar; the WiFi works. The bathrooms are very small (except for the shower), with no place to put toiletries (well, on the cistern of the toilet…) – two people will struggle to use it at the same time. There is a hair dryer with US sockets. The beds are good, but only have a single pillow type. There are opaque curtains to keep the daylight out; while they leave light through at the sides and the top, they do a reasonable job. It is very quiet at night (unless the other hotel guests aren’t…), so all set for a good night’s sleep. A simple but reasonable breakfast buffet is included in the room charge, with seating inside and on a terrace facing the beach and the sea. During the day and in the evenings, reasonable food can be had at the restaurant; the service is efficient (no long waiting times).

We've been there several times; As always (almost) everything is fine. However, this time two points of criticism: The night lighting in the parking spaces was broken (this was known and was not repaired despite further notification from us). Unfortunately, the bar on the beach was closed, despite great interest from guests. Incomprehensible to me.

We are the first floor sea view room You can see the seaside by opening the window. The front desk is very nice Parking lot outside the old town Can drive to the hotel, drop the luggage Holding the front desk will give you a card Drive the car to the parking lot outside the city🅿️ Take the free shuttle bus back to the hotel It is cheaper to pay parking fees at the hotel. So at the time of check-out, pay the parking fee at the hotel. They will provide a white release card~

Premetto che una vacanza family qui è sempre consigliata ma rispetto all’anno scorso lo abbiamo trovato calato: innanzitutto il buffet, quello che era il punto forte illustrato nella mia precedente recensione a cinque stelle, non era più invitante come la volta precedente. Diciamo che alla vista nulla ti attirava anche se poi il gusto era comunque accettabile. Per quanto riguarda il personale della reception, anche qui come l’anno scorso abbiamo trovato una certa freddezza e velocità. Quest’anno però anche il resto dello staff non ci ha entusiasmato. Poco sorridenti, poco cordiali e spesso svogliati. Inoltre praticamente nessuno parlava l’italiano ma la cosa strana è che molti non capivano neanche l’inglese quindi comunicare è stato un po’ assurdo nel senso che tu parli e loro fissano il vuoto. Una mattina a colazione ho chiesto al cameriere di sparecchiare il tavolo degli ospiti precedenti e preparare il nostro: lui ha cambiato piatti e posate e ha lasciato il tovagliato sporco, macchiato, le briciole sul tavolo e sulle sedie. Io sconvolta me lo sono pulita da sola perché tanto lui non capiva. Agli ospiti di fianco a noi invece, ha rifatto il tavolo pulendo tutto. E’ difficile capire se ci siano state incomprensioni con la lingua inglese o semplicemente se lui usi pulire un tavolo si e uno no… Per quanto riguarda i prezzi sono sempre molto buoni, sia per il soggiorno che per il servizio bar. L’unica nota assurda è la bottiglia d’acqua da 0,75 a cena al prezzo di 4,30 €, una vera esagerazione che non ti aspetti visti appunto i prezzi relativamente contenuti di tutto il resto. La camera quest’anno era davvero piccola, probabilmente l’anno scorso anche se avevo prenotato la stessa tipologia, avevo avuto un upgrade. Bagno davvero minuscolo e vista più che parco direi sul retro bottega e sulla facciata interna dell’hotel che appariva scolorita, macchiata e non impeccabile come la volta precedente. Anche le zone comuni le ho trovate un po’ meno in ordine e meno pulite dell’anno scorso. Un po’ ci è dispiaciuto perché lo standard è sceso comunque sicuramente questo hotel lo consiglio perché è un luogo tranquillo, dove si sta bene e non manca niente, i bambini si divertono grazie alle svariate attrazioni dedicate a loro, c’è animazione e ci sono spettacoli anche per adulti. Vista stupenda e posizione super. Noi ci siamo ritornati perché l’anno scorso è stato tutto wow, adesso dopo quest’ultima esperienza non so se ci ritornerei. Potevo immaginare che mantenere un livello così alto fosse difficile ma in fondo ci speravo. Diciamo che da un’esperienza “super” quest’anno siamo scesi ad una “bella” esperienza.

Having been a fan of the San Servolo beer, when I saw this property it was a no brainer for me for our stay in Istra. And the resort really lives up to the high standard set by their excellent beers! The mobile home we stayed in was very nicely decorated and designed, and comfortably fit our family and our daughter's travel cot. The mobile home had its own jacuzzi which we very much enjoyed - a great way to relax after a day exploring the beauties of the Istrian peninsula. The pool at the resort was gorgeous (although too cold for my liking) and the pizzeria lived up to its billing as one of the best pizzerias in Istria. The breakfast didn't have the broadest selection of items, but everything on offer was of the highest order. The resort also had good kids facilities with a lovely playground area and all the room for our daughter to run around. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, so really everything about the resort was of excellent quality.

The rooms are very clean and very attractively furnished. A small refrigerator is available and there is even a small clothesline on the small balcony for drying swimwear. Access to the sea is within walking distance - although it's not my favorite beach. The spacious, sunny outdoor terrace, open to all guests, invites you to have an aperitif or a coffee. In warm weather, breakfast is also served outdoors. The breakfast buffet is very varied and lovingly prepared. With fresh pastries instead of ready-made rolls you could still improve here... but really... everything else was great. We had booked half board. The food was very good and sufficient. Good wine pairing. The pre-order sushi set was really surprisingly good. Surprising because you wouldn't expect it here. Unfortunately we forgot a few items of clothing when we checked out of the hotel and we were contacted immediately and the parts forwarded to us! Thanks a lot for this!

Lovely boutique hotel right on the water. If we come back to Novigrad, we will definitely return here. The staff is very professional, courteous, polite, and helpful. Suite has – private elevator to room from lobby; sauna (which we did not use); living room with sliding glass door to deck with frig; bathroom with (very tight fit shower) and door to deck; large bedroom with shelving, safe, and sliding glass door to deck; full length of suite deck with hot tub, sunbeds, and table overlooking west view of sea. Lovely turquoise blue and white color scheme; very clean. The bed had German style individual duvets. The shower is half of the tub with a movable partial glass “door” over the tub that makes for a very tight squeeze, with a sloped tub floor down to the drain on the opposite side of the tub; the tub floor is very slippery. The water pressure is not good and the shower is hard to use.The air conditioning works very well. There is not an assigned parking space; we had to park in a very tight fit at the marina about a ten minute walk away but the car was safe. The hot tub on the deck is marvelous at sunset. Check it when you first arrive – the lid was off and the water was very cold (because the lid was off, which the hotel person did not seem to understand), so we closed it up and turned the temperature up so we could use it the next day. The breakfast is buffet, with a small selection. There is not much of anything that is healthy (low calorie / low fat) other than the cherry tomatoes used as garnish on other offerings. Fruit is “whole”, not cut up or sliced. Bread is pretty stale (sliced, not rolls). The outdoor terrace is wonderful – across the pedestrian path and in a covered glass building right on the water. The a la carte omelettes are very good. The hotel is right on the pedestrian path along the water, with a cement slab below the glass dining pavilion. The sunbeds cost 18 euros per person even for hotel guests, which does not seem appropriate given the expense of the rooms to stay there; they should be free for hotel guests. Restaurants close early! We had trouble finding restaurants open and serving food after 9 pm. There is a grocery store a few blocks away.
