We stayed at the Amfora because we wanted a pool and and as far as I know it's the only in-town hotel that has one. The pool is nice but you'd be advised to bring your own towel as you have to leave a cash deposit of 100 kunars to use one of the hotel towels! The rooms are outdated and small but clean. It appears to be a communist era hotel with a new front and lobby slapped on but no improvements to the rooms. It's a very nice stroll from the main part of town and we enjoyed that. I felt that the price was high for the quality of the accomodation but the staff was helpful and the overall experience good. There were no issues at all with noise or any other annoyances.

Excellent Hotel, we were originally booked in another hotel in Hvar but had to change due to poor standards.

We stayed here for 5 nights, the hotel is expensive (but so is a lot of Hvar) but it was worth every penny.

The staff are friendly and extremely helpful, especially by the pool, very attentive without being intrusive.

The rooms as modern, spotless and very comfortable, complete with fancy 'The White Company' toiletries.

It was my birthday whilst we were there and on our return from the pool that day, there was a lovely plate of cake with a Happy Birthday message. I thought it was organised by my boyfriend but he hadn't mentioned anything to them. The small things really do count.

Views from the hotel are spectacular, but then they all are on Hvar.

The pool area is 2nd to none on the island. It is open to paying public at 200 kunas per person. The only down side to the pool area is that people place towels down mid morning and leave them empty all day. (you don't have to be up at the crack of dawn to bag a bed though... but please use it :-) )

Hvar town is a short 5 min stroll around the bay, it is pleasent and very safe at night.

Hvar Town can be a bit loud, but if that' s not what you are looking for there are some lovely back streets on the leftside of the square (when you have your back to the harbour) Fab restaurants and a great, funky wine bar... the staff are wonderful

This hotel is one of the only (maybe the only) on the island with a pool. It's about a 10 minute walk into town but we liked that it had a beach and pool and was full-service. It's sister properties (Adriana and Riva) are both on the main road lining the port of Hvar and are always very busy - they are more boutique-like. There is a bar around the corner from the Amfora called "hula hula" which delivered fantastic sunsets. We probably wouldn't have known about this unless we were at the Amfora.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Amfora for 3 nights during our 2 week holiday in Croatia and Slovenia. Needless to say, we were very pleased with our stay. The hotel was extremely clean and the staff were pleasant. The pool was fabulous and we were pleased that the hotel had it's own beach. Prior to our trip, we had a hard time deciding if we should stay at the Amfora, the Riva, the Adriana or the Podstine. I am glad we chose the Amfora because the Riva and Adriana did not have their own beach and the Podstine seemed a little out of the way. The Amfora is only a 5 minute walk from the city center which was very convenient. However, one of the best things about Amfora was their ice cold air conditioning! I know that sounds odd but Croatia is terribly hot in July and it was always nice to go back to a nice cool room. Overall, Hvar is absolutely fantastic and I would definitely recommend the Amfora to my friends.
