Reviews for Hotel Histrion
Review 1:very poor salad buffet, actually the whole dinner and breakfast buffet weren't very versatile - at least not like they should be in a 4 star hotel.
Review 2:nice location, great view of the sea
Review 3:Generally, hotel staff was not very kind. Cleanliness in the room was quite poor (cleaning ladies came only after 14h), as well as in the pool area.Hotel caretaker came into our room after 21 hours to replace the lamp :(
Review 4:the location was great. Walking trips to Piran and to Portorož are beautiful.
Review 5:Provided wrong check-in time via booking.com email. Didn't answer phones to clarify or allow late check-in notification. I lost one night of booking -- hotel staff didn't try to make any meaningful amends for this (e.g., offer half-board), just charged the full price for the missed night. Manager's lame excuses ("our accounting can't handle the request") weren't helpful, either.
Review 6:Location.
Review 7:The quality/price is not right,rather 3 than 4 stars worth. For a 4 stars hotel the breakfast was rather basic. Fake juices,limited fruit offered etc.
Review 8:Well located 20 minutes walk to Piran but free shuttle bus available half way. Wifi working fine. Free parking.
Review 9:Quality of food is below average. Quality of toilet paper is very poor. Parking space is impossible to be found even in the paid garage.
Review 10:Free wifi and smiling waitresses. Excellent location of hotel and wide variety of facilities.
Review 11:Live music outside the hotel until 12 am. No bar at the hotel. A small bottle of wine at the mini bar at 9 Eur. These are all minor issues.
Review 12:Walking distance to Portoroz and Piran. Comfortable access to the sea. The hotel is partially renovated. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious enough. Sea view is worth additional fee. Free parking not so far from the hotel. Staff was very polite and helpful. I had a very pleasant stay at Histrion.
Review 13:The hotel feels a bit like back in the 80s since common areas has not been renovated. The breakfast was overcrowded sometimes. No free sun beds in the beach.
Review 14:Excellent location and water park. Wifi was very good in the hotel and on the beach too. Confortable room and beautiful sea view.
Review 15:Parking very far from hotel.
Review 16:Right on the beach, view from room on the sea. Close to shops, restaurants. Great inside and outside pool. Big, comfortable room.
Review 17:If you are in the room with thw view to port there is everyday loud music till late 23.00. Not good with small kids. The entry to the see from concrete pavement.
Review 18:The inside warm hotel pools and for kids. When the weather is not good you can swim there for free.wifi airco and tv in the room . great outside pools also for kids when the sea is cold.
Review 19:The only thing that was not ok were the concrete beaches, but I knewwhere I was going so it was not a dissapointment. It is just my opinion.
Review 20:The sea was warm and clean. Hotel is very well situated and although thehotel was full I didnt feel that, the beach wasnt crowded, actualy itwas really cool.
Review 21:The dining area was a bit small for so many guests. Sometimes we had a problem to find free table as we were group of five people. I think there should be more staff in the dining area too.
Review 22:Really nice staff, tasty food. I highly enjoyed free WiFi and air-conditioned comfortable rooms.
Review 23:We had halfboard, and therefore, dinner was included. However, we could not enjoy any of the food. At the outdoor pools (on the beach but separated from the free area) the hotel guests are asked for additional payment for sunbeds and parasols. At check-out we reminded of items which we consumed from the minimbar, but did not apprear on the invoice. The items were then added to the invoice. Before we left the hotel, the receptionist came to us explaining,that there was an extra bottle of non-sparling water which we did not pay for... (EUR 2,10)...
Review 24:The hotel is a true monument of the socialism: huge and ugly, yet the location is perfect. Most of the guests were seniors, which gave a certain atmosphere to the hotel.
Review 25:Great location, beach with grass, Piran (must see) is very close
Review 26:The rooms are poor (they are still from time of socialism). The hotel really needs a renovation. Bad parking place.
Review 27:At the reception people were nice. Excellent location. Clean rooms.
Review 28:Water in swimming pool too cold. Some people occupying jacuzzis all the time. Loud disco music (drums) could be heard in rooms all night long, coming from Croatia across the bay. Bring ear plugs!
Review 29:Food (breakfast and dinner) abundant, good choice of dishes.
Review 30:Not free WiFi. Very hard to find free table in restaurant (too small restaurant?). Pools weren't maintained for a while...
Review 31:Very good food. Registration and check-out without any problems. Free park place. Very helpful staff.
Review 32:Wi-Fi is not free. On rush hours pools can be small for swimmers. TV is rather small. For extra bed, rooms are to small.
Review 33:Clean rooms, rich breakfast, free parking place. Free access to the pool area. Nice views, either to the sea side or to the lagoon side. If you need an extra bed (older kid), ask for connected room, otherwise room with extra bed would be too small. Although it's been some 15 years since our last visit here, nothing much changed. Is that good ???
Review 34:Everything is too old, the douche and toilet hardly work, no hood in the bathroom. But the most awful is the restaurant. There is almost 1000 of people at breakfast and dinner. Very hard to find a place. Need to wait until the table will be cleaned. The waiters are rude and try to pay no attention on your needs.
Review 35:Location and seaview
Review 36:Hotel beach is basically a public beach and can be overcrowded. Breakfast offer of coffee is below acceptable.
Review 37:Location, extended and well heated indoor pools, quality fish in dinner offer, vicinity of beautiful Piran, an adequate pricing.
Review 38:the pools have sea water, at the beginning it is irritating the coast is mainly made of concrete which is ok, but in some cases it would need some barriers not to fall into water (especially in case of little kids on bicycles)
Review 39:The rooms with the sea view are really nice. You may see plenty of yachts and motor boats passing by. They are also more quiet in the evenings and equipped with adjustable sunblinds at the balconies. It is worth extra charge. The hotel is within walking distance to Piran and Portoroz center. The indoor and outdoor pools convenient for little kids.
Review 40:Not free WiFi A bit to hard beds
Review 41:Location directly on the seafront A few indor pools with sea water Good selection of food for breakfast and dinner Friendly and helpful personnel Outdor pool Warm and calm sea at the foot of the hotel Spa and wellness 20 minutes walk to historic town Piran 20 minutes walk to modern Portoroz
Review 42:Quite bad staff - first they gave us a smaller room without additional bed, then they tried to let me pay TWICE the price of the room and pay the children too, although in booking.com it was special offer for free stay incl.additonal bed. The cleaning staff also not so reliable. In the restaurant very slow service (wine) - they come quite quick only if paying cash... - The restaurant in the morning is a big confusion, as the food is only in the right wing although another 100 -150 people having breakfast also in the left wing - The food - terrible coffee, juices with water, otherwise just lower average.
Review 43:Location, childrens facilities, quite place, nice rooms.
Review 44:The Hotel itself is definiately not 4 star, I would rate max 3 star. Restaurant was totally full all the time, atmosphere was similar to an army canteen. No sandy beach around, difficult to swim/play with small children
Review 45:our offer was competitive
Review 46:Breakfast was crowded and hot. Much better when they open the room to the left of where one enters the restaurant as it is cooler.
Review 47:Excellent view of the sea from a quiet balconied room. House keeping very attentive and room was extremely clean. The restaurant out on the spit, Barka, was fantastic as was the service. Train runs through resort takes one to either Portoroz or Piran for four (€4) Euros.
Review 48:Everything, the facility was old and the type of food was unacceptable and alot.
Review 49:Really there is nothing to be considered as agood or positive rate.
Review 50:No bad experience.
Review 51:The food and the staff. The location is great, you can walk to Piran or Portorož in the evening.

Review 74:equpment is little old and worn out for required price. Also for thid price, wi-fi should be free of charge
Review 75:location, decent brakfast
Review 76:There is no triple rooms.
Review 77:The wiev and the balcony.
Review 78:We did not have the requested beds set up in our room upon arrival. Roomservice brought us 3 of the same dish when we only ordered one but wehad to pay for all 3. Our bell boy rushed to the room leaving us behind.There is no valet parking offered. We had to pay for pool towels. We hadto rent robes. The food was ok...not grand. When requesting towels, theyonly gave us two when we needed 4.the staff was NOT on top of their game. For the price paid, we have stayed in far nicer hotels w adequate staff and attention to detail. Staff didnt look happy to work there and it showed (except for front desk staff.) we will not be revisiting this hotel ever again.
Review 79:The bed was comfortable and the view was great from our balcony. Spaservices were amazing. Pools were decent for children.
Review 80:All hotel is old style 80th lift was just half stairs so we needpushchair for baby take carry half stairs every time...long longdistance car park from hotel so there is not change stop before hotelan loading and unloading you suitcaice......my car stay cca 1,3 milesfrom hotel....

Review 82:we would welcome if the sunbeds on the beach would be free to use for hotel guests
Review 83:staff was extremly nice, food included a big variety of meat and vegetables, room was cleaned every day, free parking on side
Review 84:Very old furniture, Long distance from elevators to rooms, Concrete beach.
Review 85:Very nice location - between Portoroz and Piran, Nice breakfast, Nice view, Good aquapark, Good noize isolation of rooms.
Review 86:The only slight complaint would be the dinner buffet - while it was great in volume it totally lacked in taste, this region has wonderful ingredients, they need a caterer to know what to do with them, use herbs, spices, season...
Review 87:Reception personnel was excellent, cleaning staff was friendly and thorough, the location is unbeatable and the ambiance very family-friendly, breakfast buffet was great and nutritious
Review 88:Staff could do better to be more friendly, especially in the hotel restaurants
Review 89:Great location & Great Price with great facilities for the whole family
Review 90:- the fees for sundbed and umbrella on hotel beach are unacceptable in 4- starr hotel, a negative surprise - very poor quality of food without acceptation of people with food limitation ( diabetes, gluten free ) - not working lobby bar ( with artificial flowers - horrible ) in 4- starr hotel!!!
Review 91:great location near to the sea, very friendly and smiled staff, nice peaceful green surroudings, I can positive evaluate the without barrier access for handicap people
Review 92:The hotel is really big and Soviet-style, was not renovated for a time. Really long aisles to the rooms. A big komplex, really touristic surrounding. In the evenings music is heard from the nearby restaurants.
Review 93:Close to Piran (3 kms walking path along the cost), there are several unique restaurants and the town is pittoresque. Also the newly-renovated spa is really nice with separate sections for adults and children and beauty services (massage, pedicure etc.) which I can also recommend.
Review 94:The environment was very loud, restorants music, etc. Basicly this is a hotel for pensioners
Review 95:the general sevice level and the restaurant for breakfast
Review 96:The hotel is not as modern as other 4 stars hotels we stayed in during this trip (e.g. small screen tube TV). The access to the sea is not very pleasant, I wouldn't stay there just to enjoy swimming in the sea.
Review 97:Free parking, free wi-fi, easy access to the old and lovely city of Piran via public & free bus shuttle (5 minutes walk from the hotel to the shuttle bus stop, then 5 minutes ride on the bus to the city center).
Review 98:The rooms at Histrion are okay, but not really 4 star quality. They are clean, but rather small - the beds could be wider, and the luggage rack was only just big enough for the suitcase. The shower comprised a high narrow bath with a shower screen rather than a proper shower. The rooms also lack the standard complimentary tea/coffee facilities. The balconies are good sized, but the high concrete wall of the balcony obscured our view of the lagoon when we were sitting in the chairs. Also, the price was a little bit too high. If it had been, say, 20% cheaper, I'd have said Histrion is a great choice!
Review 99:The facilities at Histrion are what makes it a 4 star hotel: the indoor salt water swimming pools are very clean and great if you want to get out of the sun during the heat of the day in summer, or if you have young children (we were travelling with an 18 month toddler) and find going into the sea with them rather difficult. There are many different pools (kids pools with slides and long deep pools for serious swimmers) that you can always find one which is virtually empty, and as a guest at Histrion you also have access to the outdoor swimming pool at Vila Barka. The hotel's private beach is also nice, but can get a bit crowded in summer. The breakfast buffet has a great range of good food and the breakfast room overlooking the sea is beautiful. All the cleaning staff and waiting staff were very friendly and helpful.
Review 100:Having to pay for towels and sunbeds when guests of hotel is total unacceptable.
Review 101:The location of the hotel is excellent within a realtively short walk of Parin and Portoroz. There was also a good choice of restaurants near the hotel.
Review 102:The pools have salty water. Not a big problem, but good to know. The bathroom is a bit small, but usable still. The airconditioning is not good though. A bit far from the town centre, so not for people who want to go there every evening.
Review 103:The location is fantastic, just by the beach, close to restaurants and a few shops. Perfect for a relaxing (spa, swimming) holiday. The breakfast is very good. The multiple swimming pools are nice and the restaurant Barka by the harbour serves great things!
Review 104:Problems with loud ventilation in one of the rooms on the top floor. Notmuch offer for vegetarian and quite basic menus for quite high price ofa hotel room.
Review 105:Staff was very polite. Excellent views and location.
Review 106:there was nothing that i didn't like.
Review 107:EVERYTHING!!! great hotel! a steal for the money. first of all the location. its half way between PortoRoz and Piran and in walking distance from both; so you get to enjoy both worlds. second the rooms are spacious and have grat ocean views. the staff is so helpful and always in good spirits. and the spa/pools of the hotel are out of this world. really. i started counting the pools and stooped after 6! one day i had leave the hotel early - before breakfast and the staff prepared for me breakfast box the lasted me for the whole day ! and i didn't even ask for it. ho; and the food at breakfast was excellent. so ; as i said- its a bargain . i will defiantly stay there again and again.
Review 108:definitely far from 4*, maybe 30 or more years ago that was 4*, now is far from modern standards, hotel is very old, rooms are small, bed uncomfortable and small, very small bathroom, I sow here some good comment for wellness, but wellness is good only for somebody who don't know for better, 1 small and old sauna and Turkish bath, overpriced, 12 eur for 2h, again far from modern standards, hotel need complete renovation, or they should sell it as 2* or max 3*
Review 109:Organisation of seating for evening meals poor due to the volume of guests from hotels
Review 110:Variety of meals, room location and helpfull staff very good
Review 111:could be some child corner with toys. if that-perfect
Review 112:great vacation, nice hotel, good food, nice pools for small children
Review 113:Extremely old and tired. Needs revamping.
Review 114:Wi fi poor Cleaning lady intrusive Crowded breakfast
Review 115:Location Sea views Pool
Review 116:Comfort, do to the fact that this is Hotel designed in 80's, I suposse that it is not posible to make over...
Review 117:Family-friendly inviroment
Review 118:Somewhat outdatet
Review 119:The swimming pool is nice
Review 120:Close to the diving center.
Review 121:Breakfast - too much low quality white bread.
Review 122:Location
Review 123:Excellent food+ very good choice and very good quality food for all meals
