We spent three nights at the Slavija in July. When we first arrived at the hotel mid afternoon we were thrilled, because the location is superb, right on the water. We had a nap before heading off to explore in the cool of the evening. Little did we know that was to be the only sleep we were to get for the entire three days. Our rooms overlooked the port (good point) but also a bar, which we discovered is the "in" place for the young, and stays open all night. Well, not quite but at least until 4am, with non-stop and very loud music. If you are lucky, you get a couple of hours sleep before the first ferry arrives at around 6, again making a terrific din.
So, lesson to be learnt? Ask for a back room on a high floor (not low cos otherwise you will be facing a wall) or at least for a room facing the water which is the post office end not the ferry boat station end. Alternatively, even better, go to Hvar off season. It is truly beautiful, but very crowded in July. The same would go for Trogir, also lovely but overun with tourists.
