Hotel Art in Senj is quieter than many tourist places in Croatia, which is just right for me. The view of the bay from some rooms and the Hotel dining room is fabulous. Breakfast is simple yet satisfying, with fresh cooked eggs to order, fresh bread, and a selection of bead toppings. The rooms are simple yet clean, and since it's in a historic building, everything functions well considering. A short walk takes you into the old town for excellent meals, and in the opposite direction, to the beach. Boat tours to the islands are my favorite activity while there. Hotel Art has a friendly and welcoming multi-lingual staff. I'll stay there again!
The location is right on the harbour and beach, looking out over the beautiful Adriatic. Could not be bettered! And the room was clean and comfortable, much more like a three than a two-star standard.
But the main thing was the lovely kind staff. I had a couple of problems (difficulties with my phone and in accessing my emails, not because of them, the hotel WiFi is fine, but because my naughty little boy decided to do a factory reset on my phone moments before I needed to use it!). The ladies at the hotel were so kind, let me make a phone call on their phone and use thier office computer to access my emails. And they entertained my little boy (who has special needs) while I was sorting things out, playing with him and giving him cchocate and a colouring book, so kind! A very good experience all round!
PS if you arrive in this town late at night, as I did, and all the restaurants have stopped serving food, ask people for the pizza takeaway, which is open late and makes lovely fresh homemade pizzas!
