Reviews for Hotel Kimen

Review 1：It would have been useful to have some hooks or line to hang wet swimming gear in the shower to avoid water dripping everywhere. There is a fine grit swimming beach only yards from the hotel door. We should have booked for longer as the weather was good.

Review 2：Very friendly, very welcoming and smart. Food very good, you order your dinner main course one day in advance, however on your first day you do not get a choice.. Menu is in Croatian, German and Italian. At least one staff member would happily translate. Several were pleased to practice their English with a native English speaker. The hotel is not part of a large chain and felt pleasantly unique. Arrived by 6 hour trip on the ferry from Zadar via 4 other islands giving a wonderful insight to island life.

Review 3：The supper was very poor. They colud add tofu, seitan and some soya products besides milk.

Review 4：I Like their offer rich with organic products, but they could add some tofu and seitan stuff. They were extremely kind and helpful. I was more then happy with their dog friendly approach.

Review 5：The information about things to do on the island could have been better presented at the info desk. It seemed unclear how things were organized. Partly a language barrier I think.

Review 6：The rooms were great and very clean. The A/C worked really well.

Review 7：Very close to the beach. The staff is very kind and helpful. Rooms seem to be renewed recently and are well equiped and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Pets allowed on the property.

Review 8：A little bit crowded around hotel, because of camp near the hotel.

Review 9：Location is very good, near the sea, always find place where to leave car, breakfast good and delicious.

Review 10：Nothing. Everything OK. We warmly suggest it!

Review 11：Very clean and tidy. Kindness of the staff. Perfect location, both for the sea and the old city centre. Wonderfull breakfast. In general a very well run hotel

Review 12：Everything was great except wi/fi internet

Review 13：Great location, great staff, excellent food for dinner, nice park with mini-golf and table tennis, really a big recommendation for couples with small kids.

Review 14：lovely hotel, right on the excellent beach and 10 minute walk to Cres center. very good breakfast, parking in front of hotel in the park, under trees shade... staff very polite and helpful... super clean. park view so it was nice and refreshing in the evening....

Review 15：I thought the there would be a private beach area which there was not, very crowded pinewood garden made relaxing at the sea less of a treat than I would have imagined Food was so-so, massive hall with what I imagined communist style crowd and buffet, it was for example impossible to order something in the afternoon.

Review 16：Very comfortable room with private balcony Great service from the ladies at reception

Review 17：It is very nice terrace for breakfast and dinner with a view on the beautifull park and sea with friendly staff. In the hotel information desk you can get precise information about the island trips. Nice evening walk to the city Cres (about 15 minutes).

Review 18：There is a lovely promenade all along the shore from Hotel Kimen right to the beautiful horseshoe shaped harbour of Cres Town. There were many options for dining or just having a kava and people watching

Review 19：Nothing.

Review 20：Beautiful, modern clean room. Views of the water and steps away from the beach. Jacuzzi tub. A short walk into Cres by following the path along the water. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was wonderful - many good choices.

Review 21：- The Spa was not very good, inexperienced staff. - Basic gym

Review 22：- Location - Friendly Staff - Good Breakfast - Peacefulness Overall very happy guests! We will be back

Review 23：The grounds could have been nicer. You have to pay for beach chairs, although not much, this should not be the case. The interior of the hotel is acceptable but rather bland

Review 24：Location and proximity to Cres as well as friendliness of staff. Breakfast quality is quite good.

Review 25：Breakfast - tipical low cost breakfast. I appreciate fruit in the morning and this hotel offers only some old oranges and apples on a good day; while paradoxically (or economically) they offer variety of fresh fruit for dinner - when rare ones eat them. Dinner - Food is fair (mostly freezed fish and vegetables), but nothing above cantine level. Soups resemble to concentrate soups. Two bottles of shower gel and shampoo for 6 days stay.

Review 26：Hotel's surrounding. Island itself.

Review 27：offensive smell in the room (of furniture lacquere?) no lift from the lobby to the entrance hotel bar serves drinks only Hotel refounds ferry costs if staying longer than 7 nights, but not for Booking.com clients

Review 28：good quality beds quiet room good breakfast friendly staff close to the beach

Review 29：the food is good but not excellent; younger people won't realise the spirit of past - dancing on terrace on live music -just like 30 years ago; expensive chairs and parasols on beach.

Review 30：Great for family with children, tidy walks along the beachside, closeness of the town of Cres (15 min walk), beach within 50 meters of hotel, free parking space around the hotel, free wi-fi.

Review 52：Great staff, location, comfort, breakfast and dinner are great. Highly recommended.

Review 53：The location is very good and the beach is really very nice. The town centre is very close to the hotel.

Review 54：Small beach near Hotel, need to walk like 15-20 min to beach of Camp Kovacine. Dinner is choose for next day, it was good but concept is bad. Breakfast is similar every day

Review 57：everything room view location bathroom breakfast

Review 58：Our room was small, but that's not really an issue

Review 59：The location is very good, nice new rooms, good breakfast, close to the town of Cres, quiet area. We will definitely come back!!

Review 60：drinks machine is now installed, and the coffee is tasteless. I suggest a return to percolated coffee.

Review 61：everything except the coffee. I have now been to Hotel Kimen 7 times. Wonderful location in parkland by the sea and short walk into Cres Town with its restaurants.

Review 62：Nothing apart from a a rather miserable and abrupt young woman who dealt with the changing of money -- the only unpleasant person we met during the whole time we spent in Hotel Kimen or anywhere in Croatia - 14th August until 28th August

Review 63：Very friendly staff whether, reception, waiters or chambermaids Everywhere very clean and sparkling Decor very good and included photographs of the local wildlife on the walls Lifts to all floors was a real bonus A good dinner menue and well cooked and well presented meals Live music each evening which was very relaxing Easy access to the sea

Review 64：if you book a seaside room it really means seeside, there is no direct view of your see from your room.

Review 65：The main buliding is really modern with nice rooms.

Review 66：The room was rather small, especially with the baby-bed inside, but really neat, recently refurbished and clean. There was no babysitting service offered to us, but our baby is really small so we planned to spend most of the evenings in the room/on the balcony (every room has balcony).

Review 67：We were traveling with our 4 months old baby so we wanted to go to a place that is close to a beach and has a lot of shades around. Kimen was perfect choice for that. Beach is really close and there are a lot of pine trees that provide a good shade. There is a nice paved promenade by the sea - excellent for strollers, and town of Cres is 10 minutes away, which is a great walk for parents and the baby. (Cres is a charming town and has real Mediterranean vibe with its narrow and wavy streets. Supermarket and pharmacy are available so you can buy anything you need for the baby.) Hotel staff was very friendly and especially nice to us because of the baby - they've provided extra linen and kept the room extremely tidy.

Review 68：Well appointed, clean and fresh with plenty of room to move. An easystroll through the park to the water and about 15 minute walk to thetown. Breakfast can be taken on the outside balcony overlooking thegardens. A nice place to stay. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Review 69：The breafast is correct, but without any fantasy. There was an ad at theferry, which made me think, that the hotel is to refund the cost of theferry to the guests. When arrived to the hotel, I learned, that yes,but....only if you buy a complete package of 7 days, etc.

Review 70：We are returning guests, as the area of Cres is wonderful. The hotelis a nicely refurnished one, with a helpsful staff. The room wasclean, as usual.
