2/10 Poor

Mgr or owner did not speak English (even though adverstised at Eng speaking), only German, and was incredibly rude. The AC in my room was not working and I could not find her (owner) anywhere. I had to call expedia mulitple times to get in touch with her. She ignored me 3x re: AC, instead showing me how to operate it on the one in the 'lobby'. I tried to tell her each time that it wasn't working. She would then disappear again. FINALLY, after expedia spoke to her, she came up to my room to fix the AC. It WAS NOT WORKING - a hidden breaker was switched off - no way for me to figure that out on my own. She didn't apologize or even offer a bottle of water as I was dripping with sweat. She closed the bar/rest early, so I couldn't even purchase anything. I had to walk down the beach to get a cold drink. Room was TINY, which I didn't mind bc it was just me and was for one night (airline rebooked me). Couldn't even open my suitcase in the room. DO NOT STAY HERE! 3 stars, my ass. 0 stars would be more accurate.

8/10 Very Good

Hotel Sunce is a lovely little hotel on the beach strip, about a 20 minute drive from Split center. Some other reviews have noted problems with the AC not working, but as long as the windows are closed, it will function. It's not the coldest ever, and the fan isn't very strong, but after a while the room cools off. Reviews have also noted the lack of an English speaking staff member - happy to report that this year there is a wonderful young man who speaks perfect English! On the plus side, the hotel's beach is very nice and clean, the food is tasty and plentiful, and the staff are always ready to help. You can leave your beach towel at home and rent one from the hotel for about 3 euros/day. The only negative in my opinion was the hardness of the bed - the mattress is thin - but this miight not be a bad thing for those with bad backs. Regardless, I would definitely return!

Nice location out of the city with beach. Car park not big enough for all guests so found we had to leave the car on the road which wasn’t ideal as there is no parking really so it was on the walk way. The air conditioning did get working but it so weak even on full power it barely made a difference and was switched off during the day so was always hot when we got back. Breakfast was cured meat, cheese, eggs some cereal and other odd little which was ok but could do with a little more choices. Staff don’t speak English so you will need to get a translator app or try your best to determine what is being said.

Fantastic views to Brac island.
We stayed for 4 nights at Hotel Sunce and enjoyed our time there. The owner was lovely very, always accommodating to any of our requests. We had a beautiful balcony with amazing views. The breakfast choice was quite good, with hot and cold foods. Some bacon would be a pleasant addition. It was unusually cold the first night, so we were given a heater the next night which was great. Bus stop close by to get into Split. Overall great value for money.

The Hotel Sunce is an ideal location for a quiet relaxing holiday, this small family run hotel is right on the beach in Podstrana overlooking the Island of Brac, the beach is ideal for a relaxing swim but beach shoes should be worn as is the case with many beaches on the Dalmatian coast it is made up of small pebbles. There is a hotel beach bar for drinks and lunches under the hotel. The Hotel is run by a charming German lady called Mira, although she speaks only German and Croatian she is delighted to be of assistance. For those with only English there was a young lady called Danielle in the hotel in the mornings (pony tail, very pretty) who is very happy to make any arrangements for trips etc; and also to arrange airport transfers by taxi if required, Our sea-view room on the second floor had a surprisingly large balcony with table and chairs fitting easily into one end, the view was perfect especially at sunset. The room itself was comfortably sized with plenty of floor space and storage. There is a safe at no extra cost which worked perfectly as did the air-con, be aware it will not operate if the balcony door is open. Breakfast is plentiful if you are early but Mira and her staff are happy to cook fresh eggs, omelettes etc. The bus stop to Split id 60 metres to the right of the hotel with service every 30 minutes. To sum up, good hotel, pleasant helpful staff, clean and modern interiors, ideal location for Split, quiet and relaxing. Vielen dank Mira!

Nice hotel close to the beach
Cracking hotel with bus route to get to split town just a 5 minute walk down the road. Anna is a lovely lady and all staff willing to help with whatever you need. Plenty of excursions to hand and reasonably priced. Your own beach is literally 5 seconds walk from the hotel and plenty of sun beds no need to run down and reserve a bed etc. Own bar on beach too with local beer on tap. The owner speaks German and no english however Anna is there a Croatian lady who speaks good English if your stuck with wanting to know anything etc. However the owner is really welcoming and equally willing to try to help with anything! Would defiantly recommend this hotel to anyone willing to experience Croatia for a nice relaxing holiday but with all the excursions to give you the option to explore if you would like adventure.

Great location right next to the beach
Arrived early in the morning at 11am and was greeted by the owner who doesn't speak English, Croatian or German only. Was told to wait at the outdoor sitting area till 2pm when the room is ready and another staff arrive who speak English to check us in. Bedroom and bathroom are small but clean. We have requested specifically for a room with sea view and balcony which made up for the size of the room. The hotel has no lift with lots of steps/stairs. You would need to use stairs to get down to the beach. Therefore this is a problem for someone with limited mobility. As advertised, the hotel is right next to the beach and we had the balcony door opened and slept with the sound of the surf every night which was lovely. Breakfast choices were limited if you are used to full English breakfast. The swimming pool is smaller than it appeared on the photo but as I was the only person who swam in the unheard cool water, it was fine. Bring your own toiletries as only one shower gel and two tiny soaps were provided. Biggest issue we had was the hotel is permanently under staffed and on several occasions, we were approached by other guests if we have seen anyone as they could not find hotel staff anywhere. Appreciate it is not high season when we were there but not brilliant if you are running the business on a shoestring with one owner and another staff. Not the most welcoming/friendly owner we have met in our travels.

The location is perfect Service bad for 4 STAR HTL
Our experience was: -Misleading hotel advertising with every aspect -Tiny rooms, no sitting areas -No sitting area in all the hotel -When it rains we have to sit on the bed -No body wash or shampoo supplied except one tiny bottle for all stay -TV is limited and shuts down -Internet limited and shuts down -No English speaking authorized person to talk to -Charges extra for any request including ice pick up -No room or customer service knowledge, all they know is the word NO. -Very expensive for what it is -Our booking was based on a 4 STAR HOTEL not a 2 STAR. -We had 2 rooms and a suite, as a family reunion that we were so disappointed. -This is maybe my 1st or 2nd booking with Expidia and maybe the last for the bad experiance

Small hotel, lovely staff, smart and clean
We wanted a small hotel in a good location. This fitted the bill. We were visiting Split for one week. Hotel Sunce is a 30 min bus ride from Split in Podstrana with the front of the hotel on the road and the back right on the beach. The hotel has a small indoor pool with sliding doors so that you can look at the sea while you swim. The beach is narrow but with lots of sun beds, it has small white stones as most of the beaches along this coast, so you need beach shoes to get in and out of the water. We had a suite, a sitting room with bed settee a generous shower room and a double bedroom with doors opening onto a balcony

Lovely hotel right on the beach!
We travelled as a group of 5 women and were made very welcome on arrival. Reception and restaurant staff were all very helpful, however, maid service was not up to scratch with bins not being emptied daily, the floor left unswept and us having to make up the 5th bed ourselves on arrival as well as having to ask reception for extra pillows and a 5th glass. It would appear that the maid was unaware that 5 people were staying in the apartment as the 5th glass was continually taken away, only a small thing but none the less very irritating. Apart from these minor inconveniences our stay was very comfortable and enjoyable. Ideally located directly on a beatiful white pebbled beach with crystal clear blue sea. A choice of good reasonably priced restaurants are only a short walk away. The city of Split is approximately a 20 minute bus ride away or in the other direction, a 15 minute bus ride away, is the town of Omis and Cetina Gorge, well worth a visit. If you are feeling adventurous then take the bus into Split and then catch the bus to Trogir, well worth the 40 minute bus ride from Split.

Not for us
On arrival at the hotel we noticed there was no disabled access and my wife who is a wheelchair user faced a steep flight of stairs to access reception. We had requested a twin room suitable for someone with limited mobility and to our dismay we got a double room situated on the second floor of a split-level hotel with no elevator - bad start! The hotel owner didn't speak English but said there would be a staff member who did the following day. With help and support my wife eventually made it to the room. The room was nice enough and clean. The king size bed had a single duvet. During our stay the temperature was 28+ degrees. The air conditioning didn't work and the owner said it did work but it was too cold to switch it on! We were told to open the balcony door but this didn't help as it was just so hot, all it served to do was let in mosquitos. The following morning we were moved to a first floor room and although better, it still involved stairs. There are however positives...the view and the close proximity to the beach are amazing. The staff who did speak English were nice. For an able bodied traveller this hotel would not be a problem. We chose to eat at Mario's restaurant which is 5 mins away, the food and service were super. If we had been told the hotel wasn't suitable for disabled guests we wouldn't have booked. This hotel should not advertise they have air conditioning when guests clearly can't use or control it.

Hotel Sunce
I don't usually write reviews, but this hotel warrants a review. I have stayed in many hotels in the world for business and holiday, Hotel Sunce rates top. I was on a solo trip on my motorbike, outside there was plenty of parking for my bike and when entering the hotel the lady on reception was extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. The room was a good size, clean and quite, with a stunning balcony view directly over the beach, so you have the sound of the waves as you sleep. The breakfast was good and fulfilled all my needs. I prefer hotels a little way out of town and Hotel Sunce is. A car would be best to get to the centre of Split, but if you have 2.5 hrs, I recommend a long walk along the coast. On my way back from Dubrovnik, I stopped in a second time and to accommodate my needs, they spoke with other quests and switched rooms for me. I had a very relaxing stay. Overall, I highly rate this hotel and the staff, the manager and lady on reception who were there during my visit, my favourite hotel so far.
