Boutique Hotel Kaštel

The location of this hotel could not be better. It is on top of the mountain in the center of the walled city. I understand that the rooms vary greatly in size and quality but ours was remarkable. It was large and looked like a room in a castle with relief art on all the walls and the ceiling. There was a chandelier and the bed had a canopy and curtains. We had a balcony with a courtyard view. The bathroom was nice. You should pay attention to the email they send the day of your arrival that explains the parking situation. We did not see it and, therefore, had a struggle with the parking. You park behind the church where the road to the top is blocked and call the hotel for the shuttle. The parking is discounted for hotel guests. We had trouble calling the hotel and the people in the little kiosk near the parking tried to help but it didn't work for them either. But they kindly persisted until they got someone and the shuttle was sent for us. The hotel is only steps from dining with an amazing view and from the few sights and activities in the walled part of the town. We completely enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the hotel.

Staff not particularly friendly or forthcoming. Rooms just ok. Central; cute location. Lots of older guests/tourists (rare to see someone under 55ish). Breakfast was pretty good- self serve buffet style with machine for cappuccino/espresso etc. indoor pool nice to have but only heated to maybe 80ish degrees. No hot tub. Sauna works well. Steam room and Kneip lacking.

Disappointed. Was here a few years ago and had a great time, but this time the room was small, the air conditioning was broken (and they knew it} -- though they did eventually provide a portable unit. The swimming pool was the best part of our stay, very refreshing.

Nice place vith nice view, bat bad personal and manager is terrible, food is bad, but location is good. All hotel personal must go in education. This is so nice location and place with bad hotel and people inside hotel. For me, this is one bad experience!

A compact room but somewhat expected from a 17th century Renaissance era castle made into today’s Kastel hotel. Mine was above some kind of entrance with no nice view. There was therefore a lot of traffic noise and wafting cigarette smoke when I opened my window so I had to keep it closed instead of enjoying the fresh air. At the front of the hotel are several old chestnut trees, great for shade on a sunny day. The hill the hotel is located on is surrounded by forests, famous for their truffles. Speaking of hill, it is very steep to get here, especially when biking. There are so many pedestrians to try to avoid hitting on a very narrow cobblestone street, making things a little tense and difficult. The staff was hard to find, no-one ever seemed to be at the front desk. The hotel appeared understaffed, and the attitude of most of the staff was indifferent at best. The place definitely shows its age but is reasonably functional. A reminder that no personal cars can come into town, only local van transport can get you in/out. This can add a lot of waiting time when trying to leave the facilities. I called for a van and had to wait nearly an hour more than they had told me. Though the driver was super nice and didn’t want a tip (said it was provided by the hotel), I was very nervous I would miss my connection with such delay. This place truly felt like just another tourist trap. I would not stay here again.

Beautiful hotel with amazing views. We stayed three (3) nights in the lovely medieval town of Motovun at Hotel Kastel and enjoyed the property. It’s a small and very well-run property with breakfast, parking, AC and amenities. If you are looking for a low key, clean and quite hotel with a unique experience this is your perfect spot!
