Reviews for Hotel Pical
Review 1:The furniture and the carpet are old and need to be renovated.
Review 2:The room has good beds, nice bathroom, enough space in closet, it was very clean. The food was excellent, very tasty and rich. The staff was kind. The garden was very nice with pine woods. It was cold for swimming in the sea, but I didn't like the concrete beaches, I prefer sandy beaches.
Review 3:Dated decor once you left the public areas. Carpets worn. Seriously in need of refurbishment. Pool not very clean.
Review 4:Excellent staff as always with Valamar hotels. Good choice of food and drink. Large swimming pool.
Review 5:The wifi range and speed was very small and slow, and it is just in the hall, near the reception.
Review 6:Everything was perfect, the food was excellent, the people (staff) were helpful, the room was small, but comfortable. We had a great time in Hotel Pical.
Review 7:Facilities a little bit old, but apparently they are planning to renovate in the future. But it still wasn't bad as rooms are clean, and mattresses are in good condition!
Review 8:Very kind staff, and great food for breakfast and dinner. Close to beach and city of Poreč. A lot of shade on the beach, which makes it great for small children and people who doesn't want to spend whole day on the hot sun.
Review 9:There was no AC in the room, which was no problem actually if you had the balcony door open during the night. I would have like to have a mini fridge in the room! The facilities were not included in the price, beside ping pong (and they only had 1 table and old rackets). You have to pay for drinks during dinner, even normal water - which was a bit annoying.
Review 10:We mostly liked the food, both breakfast and dinner was amazing! They cleaned the room every day (if wanted). Near to the city center, 5minutes walk from the hotell. Friendly people working there! Especially thanks to the kitchen staff, your awesome!
Review 11:No Air Conditioning in all rooms including common areas is unacceptable by all means. No Wi Fi in rooms.
Review 12:Pine trees surrounding, great sea views and excellent food.
Review 13:Hotel room (we were in 426) extremely hot, no air-condition, very small door to open for fresh air. Balcony area to repaint. No ventilation in the lobby area. Poor and unstable free wi-fi in the lobby.
Review 14:Excellent restaurant service, air-conditioned well, friendly staff, gorgeous buffet breakfast, lunch, dinner. Good equipped pool and garden. Good beach services and bars. Wonderful view from our balcony 4th floor.
Review 15:Nothing really. It's not a supernice hotel, but it's very decent, especially for this price!
Review 16:This was our second time at this hotel, staff is nice and helpful. Things I like the most are meals! Always a big variety of well made food.
Review 17:-rooms are old and without air condition, but it doesn't really matter unless you want to stay in hotel for all your holiday. we just slept there, so it didn't mind us. - drinks for lunch and dinner are not included in menu, so you had to order them separatelly, it would be great to have at least water for lunch/dinner for free
Review 18:excellent, delicious, yummy food nice and friendly staff location-close to blue flagged beach, nice walk to old town Porec (15min) each room has big balcony
Review 19:Bathroom; pipes on show and rusty, old fashioned and needs decorating. No wifi in rooms and poor connection in reception area which was the only place you could get wifi. Rooms should have fridges or tea and coffee making facilities. What they don't charge for in all-inclusive deal, they get back on the price of water and drinks. Water is double the price of other bars, restaurants and the 'free' water is only for children!!!
Review 20:The pool area. The reception staff were polite.
Review 21:no aircon and no wifi in the room just in the lobby..sometimes the water in the toilet did not stop running after flushing the toilet.
Review 22:food, location and cleanliness
Review 23:The noise level in the restaurant at dinner time is extremely high and disturbing. The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant is only accessible via three staircases, which can be challenging for people with reduced mobility.
Review 24:The park around the hotel is beautiful and extremely well kept
Review 25:nothing to really dislike,hotel needs updating but i know that will be done next year stayed at this hotel 2 years ago that is why we came back- lovely to see the same staff.
Review 26:the location, the staff, the food, the pool, everything that mattered was really good.
Review 27:we had a superior sea view room..we had the view but there was nothing superior about the room...table sharing...food average..old wooden door to the balcony..
Review 28:view from our balcony....
Review 29:Facilities very poor when the weather is bad. And the hotel need a reconstruction.
Review 30:The restaurant and comfort were very good. The breakfast and the diner were great.
Review 31:Really a pitty that this hotel deliberately conflicts the basics of hospitality by forcing all their guests to undergo the hotel party music. Every evening the hotel company (Valamar) namely organizes a beach party in open air in vicinity to their hotels. My phone app indicated around midnight at our balcony 55 dB peak levels (!), a realistic value as we had to raise voices at our balcony just to understand each other. During our first night (15 aug) we learned that at public holidays the noise can even go on till early morning. Upon our complaints, the hotel response was basically that they could not do anything about it: there are simply no quiet rooms at their hotels. Our conclusion: we will never ever come back here!
Review 32:Breakfast and buffet diner were good. View over sea was wonderful. In principle splendid location (but completely spoiled all nights by severe noise!).

Review 66:THE FOOD & SERVICE WAS VERY GOOD THE CLEANLINESS WAS SATISFACTORY THE ENTERTAINMENT WAS GOOD
Review 67:Wi-fi is available only in the loby of the hotel.
Review 68:Excellent food - there's a lot to choose from and even though there were many people in the restaurant it was not crowded and there were almost no queues for the food. We also liked proximity to the sea and the old town of Poreč which is in the walking distance. Rooms are simply furnished, but the view from our room was breathtaking - Poreč was on the reach of our hands... definitely recommended!
Review 69:The building itself. So old and tired and the atriums did look like prison blocks. Definitely needs a major refurbishment. Air-con should be fitted throughout.
Review 70:Location great, rooms small but adequate, bathroom good and linen lovely and clean. Food excellent and the restaurant well staffed and run. Staff on the whole were very good and friendly.
Review 71:The rooms are quite old, they need a bit of a restyling.
Review 72:The food was very good, and hotel is clean. The closiness to porec center and to the beach is perfect.
Review 73:Rooms need an update and airco.
Review 74:Excellent choice and quality at the buffet for breakfast and dinner and at the pool bar for lunch, close proximity to the sea and to the old town of Porec, varied sports and leisure facilities.
Review 75:Very odd/old design that didn't flow or feel relaxing. No Air Con except in restaurant so very uncomfortable in the heat. Bit of a walk to town when it was hot and road train always full at peak times.
Review 76:Food was very good and staff did their best. Pool was nice though opening times were not great. Beach party entertainment was fun.
Review 77:The rooms was small and in need of refurbishing. No air-condition in the rooms led to overheating. Worn pool-area. Too expensive for this kind of hotel.
Review 78:The food was good.
Review 79:the crazy method of serving the food meaning there was no start to the queue just a square and it was like a scrum at times and reduced the overall meal experience.
Review 80:the pool the location, the walk into town and the food
Review 81:The corridors to the rooms were in need of updating and quite off-putting when we first arrived. Evening entertainment was bands singing 70s/80s classics - maybe ok for older guests but we had to escape into town...
Review 82:We stayed half board and were quite impressed with the food. Breakfast and dinner were buffet style with lots of selection and different choices for dinner each day. The room was comfortable and quiet overlooking the woods. About 15 minutes walk to town.
Review 83:Rooms was small and old fashioned.
Review 84:Staff was very pleasant and the food was excellent. Outside swimmingpool was heated. I was very close to town Poreč so it was nice walkafter dinner.
Review 85:bathroom was not properly cleaned before our arrival. hair and toothpaste in the basin and bathtube. room small ( 2 communicating rooms)
Review 86:personnel excellent, food good, very good value for money,
Review 87:The location is lovely, situated close to the sea and the centre of town in beautiful pine forest. The food was exceptionally good and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Great value for money.
Review 88:Standard Double rooms are quite small, the building and rooms are oldand decoration is not so pleasant at all. For a beach hotel I wouldprefer something more colourful, more light...As I said before, beach infront is not the best in Istria.
Review 89:Location is very nice although beach in Porec is not the best one inIstria. If we go to stay just in front of the hotel, it will be betterto chose Rovinj for example. Buffet quality and food selection is quitenice in Breakfast and Dinner, it is definitely one of the best things inPical and common areas are also pleasant. It´s about 10 min walking toPorec center which is wonderful. Relation quality-price is good
Review 90:location (10-15 minutes of easy walk to the city center), staff is very helpfull, fantastic breakfast and dinner, free parking, excellent value for money
Review 91:No AC in the rooms. Hot in August, but friendly personnel helped with fans. This made a big difference.
Review 92:We liked the staff that was very kind and service minded. The hotel is big and spacious. The location close to the sea is very nice and a 15 min walk to the city center of Porec. Nice pine wood between the hotel and sea. Simple but nice on the beach restaurants. Perfect with half pension if you travel with (hungry!!) children.
Review 93:Big hotels in Croatia sometimes host weddings - which are loud and lastlong - this happened on our last night: for all the guest with balconypointing to the ball-room it meant: sleepless in Porec! But to be fair:the hotel gave a 20% reduction on that night and also informed all theguests a day before.
Review 94:Service and stuff very good and absolutely friendly, food excellent! Injune not too many people so you get always chairs at the pool!
Review 95:I'm short. The bath tub/shower was high and difficult to get into., but that was very minor.
Review 96:The staff was courteous and very helpful. They went out of their way to help with any questions. The buffet was varied so there was something for everyone's taste. The short walk to town was beautiful as was the quaint town.
