Overall Ratings & Reviews Maistra Select Riva Apartments

Construction noises woke us up early in the morning, we were not informed in advance that the restaurant in the same building directly below us was performing renovations. In addition, there were ants in the suite. The reception staff were not helpful and did not offer any solution. Would not stay again.

Apartment at an incredible location in the harbour, in OK condition but immaculately clean. Amazing value that made us return to it over and over again.

Super nice location and good condition. Parking was a bit of a convoluted experience, and showing up 50 minutes too early for check in earned me a "go away" attitude. Aside from that, all was great. Probably a better place to visit on the high season though - Vrsar gets a bit empty when it's cold out.

Great location and lovely base for a great holiday. The food was exceptional, especially at Riva. Will definitely return to Vrsar.

This apartment was very nice with a great view.. We happened to be there during a fish festival. The bands played to 12:30 Friday night no problem. But Saturday night to 2:30 am. We were not impressed with that.

Great, great, we mean great place hotel to stay!!!

Vrsar is a beautiful place and these apartments have a fantastic view over the marina and of the church. The apartment is reasonably equipped but the best part is the large and very comfortable bed. The staff at hotel reception were very friendly and helpful. They even got an electric kettle for us especially when we asked. You need to check in at the Hotel Pineta reception. Not sure if we missed that info but it took us a while to work that out when we arrived. Lots of lovely reasonably priced restaurants nearby.

Apartments were very clean and spacious. Biggest downfall was the noise from other apartments. You could here people going to the toilet, you could here every word people were saying. The slightest noise you could hear. This was the biggest problem for us, they need to improve the sound proofing. The area was lovely. The people were lovely. The weather unfortunately wasn't very good but that could happen to anyone.

Check in was quick and efficient, the apartment was a bit old-fashioned, but perfectly clean. The cleaners came every few days, well supplied kitchen but no kettle or toaster or big mugs or glasses. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Worth noting that you get 5% off food and drinks at all hotel facilities if you pay with the wrist bands that you are given at check in. Pool was fab, although we were unable to get a towel on the first day as they had run out and you have to pay 20 Kuna if you want a clean one!

Family of 4 - Room was very comfortable and well equipped. We had a great time here visiting Vrsar, adjacent towns and going on a boat trip to Rovinj. Pool was a 5 minute walk, with pool bar and great setting - really enjoyed our stay. Lots of places for eats and ice cream.

The facility is across the street from the city's harbor. Many restaurants, bars and vendors line the street. Parking is free and a little difficult as is check in.

Nice to have a balcony across the road from the harbor. There are many restaurants within 5 minutes walking time and some terrific restaurants along the road approximately 10 kilometers before you get to Vrsar. Boats are available for rent as are at least small markets. There is a larger nice market on the left side of the road about 3 kilometers before you get to Vrsar. Check in is problematic but really simple if you know what to do. You should drive up the hill to the Hotel Pineta and check in at their desk on the left. There you will get your room key and a device to open the gate to get you into the parking area which is below Hotel Pineta.

difficult to find check-in for the apartments. It was in the hotel which does not look like it has any connections with the apartments. Very dark walking from parking lot to apartment. No elevator to 3rd floor rooms so had to lug all my bags up 3 sets of stairs. Heating system did not warm the room adequately as I had to wear sweatpants and long sleeve shirt to sleep in.

Great location right by the beautiful harbour of Vrsar. With a hire car it was easy to get to the main local attractions (Rovigne Motovan Pula etc). Room dated but clean. Hotel staff generally courteous and helpful. Pool great when not full of Italian school children.

Location and view was outstanding. Very roomy. Had a balcony and patio with lounge chair. Shower drain was clogged up and did not drain well at all. Furniture was being replaced in some units.

Had a great stay. Sad it was only for one evening and day though. The town is really nice and people were very pleasant. Located on the sea - view was of harbor and town. Beautiful at night. Easily accessible to Rovinj. Lots of nice beaches in the area just don't know if they were for the surrounding hotels or not. Lots of restaurants right below hotel but we heard absolutely no noise and were able to enjoy a cocktail night. Nice size bedroom, living/dining and kitchenette. We were happy we brought coffee filters, coffee etc as they had a full size American style coffee maker. 3rd floor balconies are open so no protection from rain. Our friends were on 2nd floor and they had a covered balcony. We will be back and will request a 2nd floor apartment. Unbelievably inexpensive for what we got - especially considering costs throughout the rest of Europe. Pet friendly!

This apartment was all about the view over the harbour/marina. The location was ideal for us. It was right on the harbour, above a restaurant. However, although right on the promenade we were never disturbed by noise. The apartment itself was exactly as the photos. It was perfectly clean and cleaners attended regularly. The sink was badly cracked, which looked awful but was still functional. The biggest downside was that there was no kettle in the room - we had to boil water in a pan. There was a decent size fridge and a microwave (not that we used it). The aircon worked well. The beds were a bit hard but overall we were pleased with the apartment. It was very spacious with plenty of storage - there was an extra wardrobe in the hall area for those staying on the sofa beds. Check in was smooth. Didn't really use the hotel facilities so can't comment on those. But the view from the front windows were amazing. Oh and the gardens were kept really neat and looked lovely too. There are 2 fantastic ice cream cafes - Laguna and Istra. A lovely bakery next to Istra. We used the local buses to get to Porec and Rovinj with no problems. We went on boat excursions and had a great time (bookable at the harbour). Hotel Belvedere pool was great. The local beach gets very busy with boat loads of day trippers every 2 hours, but they come and then go again. The sea was amazingly clear. The old town is lovely to wander around. Overall we had a fantastic holiday and would go back in a heartbeat.

WE SPENT A VERY NICE HOLIDAY

We booked this apartment as a cheap extension to our holiday following a week in Rovinj. We couldn't have asked for more for the money - a marina front apartment in a lovely place, and immaculately clean (not Rovinj but you pay more to stay there). Marina front busy (though not noisy) outside apartment but we liked the buzz. Some nice restaurants but a few more and a revamp to some the existing ones would go a miss.

So the Hotel itself is nice. We stayed at the apartments right next to it, which are very nice looking on the outside. The inside a little bit outdated ie. furniture, bed, etc... I was under the impression that cleaning the rooms were a daily thing; however, apparently it had to be requested... The surrounding areas are very picturesquely, food at the restaurants are delicious (the seafood is fresh), and the locals are very nice people.
