Neva in Podstrana

I’ll start with the positives: the location is amazing, there’s convenient parking, and the exterior areas are very nice.

Now for the downsides. We stayed on the second floor with a sea view, but even with the AC at maximum, the room wouldn’t go below 23°C. We kept the blinds and curtains closed the whole time, but it didn’t help. The shower drain was blocked to the point where water almost overflowed just from washing my short hair. There were no hangers for towels, and if you have asthma like I do, be aware that the floors are carpeted. I also had to put away all the decorative pillows because of the dust.

If you’re staying just one night, it’s manageable, but for a longer stay, think twice. The hotel is very old, it’s clear no renovations have been made, and it’s not a great value for the price.

The rooms are okay. There was some issues with things not working in the room. There was no TV channels as they said and the cleaning was horrible. We stayed here for 10 days and did not get our sheets changed a single time or get vacuumed in the room, even though the cleaning came to our room every day, just to make the bed.
The morning buffet was okay, there was bread w/ ham/cheese/paté/chokolade as well as some cooked and scrambled eggs. It seems like the food is on the table from the buffet opens till it close, with leads to warm juice and yoghurts.
The pool area could also be cleaner, a lot of sand in the bottom and on the stairs, as well as many leafs and dead flies floating around the water. I dont know how often the clean the pool, sunbed and area around, but it feels not clean.
The sea is just one step from the hotel, which is very nice.
There is also the main road nearby, which causes some noise, but we could accept it.
