‼️‼️AN EMPLOYEE ENTERED MY ROOM WITHOUT PERMISSION WHILE I WAS CHANGING, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EVENING. INEXCUSABLE TOTAL VIOLATION OF PRIVACY. ‼️‼️ Management said it was “to freshen up the room” that had been cleaned hours ago. I’ve never seen anything like this. For +500€ per night, outrageous. Additionally: - It’s high season and the one spa jacuzzi hasn’t worked for over a week (claiming that one piece is missing). - Rooms are from the last century, and not in a good way. - No coffee or tea kettle - No hotel private beach whatsoever. It’s just a concrete deck. - Curtains are smaller than the windows, so prepare to be up by 5:45. That is, if the constant noises from who knows (possibly the old construction) let you sleep. DEFINITELY better to go nearby and stay at one of the many real 5 star hotel from the competition. Bonus: Niko, at the front desk of reception, will make sure you don’t feel welcome at all. Terrible attitude, rudeness and constant disdain are the words I’d use to describe interacting with this employee. Hide your valuables and good luck here. you will need it.

Not sure why there have been no reviews since September 22, but here's a more current one! The property is supported by the Grand Hotel Villa Argentina across the road, where you have full use of all facilities, restaurants, spa, bars, pool etc. The staff were all excellent, very obliging & nothing was too much trouble. We even got a free room upgrade as a total surprise & free late check out by 5pm due to how late our return transfer was! Breakfasts were extensive choice of hot, cold, continental etc - same offering every day, but so much choice it mattered not. Pool area was lovely with steps to swim in sea, or infinity pool. Excellent sunlounger & bar service, too. Room was clean & comfortable with lovely sea view. Bathroom was a little dated but perfectly serviceable with excellent shower. You have to like steps to stay here - no lifts in Villa Glavic (though lifts in Hotel across the road). Well located, about 800m walk down to Old City Gate. Also just outside the door was bus stop & taxis, too if you don't want to walk. Overall a very pleasant stay & would recommend.

Great location for us and the pool and ocean access was a huge plus. We were aware that the pool was across the street and part of the Hotel Argentina. The Pool restaurant and head waiter Vendran(spelling could be wrong) were top notch. The food was most enjoyable and excellent service. |The rooms could use a refresh as carpet is quite worn but we were there for balcony view and rest. Housekeeping staff were very accommodating with requests.

This hotel is a tail of two halves. It’s got aspects which are 5 star (the staff - exceptional, the views - amazing, the food - fantastic) but the majority is a lower end 4 star. I think the best way to describe the hotel is like a 20 year old cruise ship. Was once the height of sophistication but is now tired and old. The rooms are in desperate need of an uplift. They still give bed spreads (which they confirmed they do not wash between guests so sit on that at your own peril) and the shower is over the bath. I haven’t had to step into a bath in a five star hotel for a shower for many years, an experience that would have been less painful had the shower head stayed fixed and not stop falling down from the weight. I think the old saying is you get what you pay for and it’s perfect for summarising here. The excelsior down the road was much more a 5 star hotel, but then that comes with a greater price tag so just decide what’s important to you on this trip. The money saved could mean an epic time doing fab trips or it could not be worth getting woken up at 6 am as the curtains are broken and don’t span the length of the whole window to stop the light coming in. All personal choices.

Big, conference hotel with spa, concierge, etc. only used room, breakfast, and “beach/pool,” but the beach made it worth it. No crowded beach, chairs and umbrellas, beverage/food service. |Room was nothing special, but was only there to sleep, so bed was comfortable and bathroom has everything needed.|Location was good on quieter gate. Three grocery stores on walk to pick up snack or water (travelled in summer).|Hotel arranged ferry pick up and was worth it! Someone standing with sign and whisked us to hotel.|Hotel is across the street from Hotel Argentina but you have full access privileges. Breakfast ok, but breakfast view of Adriatic amazing; you will waste time just sitting their and staring out into the sea!

Villa Glavic is part of the Grand Hotel Argentina, and they gave us a room in this one. It's got a beautiful view, amazing pool area, where you can swim on the see. Located at only 10min walk from the old town. The breakfast is amazing with lots of types of cereals, breads, fruits, cakes, eggs and etc. The room was very clean, with a big confortable toilet and really good amenities. Would definetely stay in it again and reccomend.

Higher-end resort hotel located 10-minute walk from the Old Town and Walls. Friendly and informative service that catered well to an older couple. Reliable air conditioning. Many families. Top-notch breakfast. Private beach offered a great escape on the hot afternoons of summer. Some European guests are repeat customers from previous years. |

Had a recent four night stay at Villa Glavic. It is situated opposite the main hotel so you are able to use their facilities. The room was clean and well maintained and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is buffet style in the main hotel - plenty of choice and free tables. I chose to sit on the balcony which overlooks Lokrum and Old Town.
