"A lovely greeting on arrival, helpful staff and beautiful amenities and hotel room. A delight to stay at Hotel Podstine and in Hvar. As a family of three, we very much enjoyed our stay and would love to return"

There is an ironing room in building number one so if you needed to iron something you would have to take all your clothes from whatever building you were in and go to building number one which is extremely uncomfortable. suggestion if you’re not going to give out irons at least have an ironing room in every building other...
"This property was great. Super clean, air conditioning worked great. A little further from the town Square but great overall. The staff was very helpful, including one of the staff members driving us to town once."
"The Staff actually met me at the ferry and guided me right to their check-in desk carrying my luggage, that was an amazing benefit, although the room was small, very beautiful and quaint, breakfast was nice, excellent location steps from the gorgeous walking Marina area and old city."
"Our host Andro was wonderful and the apartment was awesome, clean and in a great location. He picked us up and dropped us back off at the ferry and also picked us from the beach when my daughter wasn’t feeling well. We had an amazing stay in Hvar in large part do to Andro and the wonderful accommodations. I highly recommend stay with him."
