Hotel Histrion

For us it was very luxury

The whole hotel is reminiscent of the trade union resorts of the socialist era. On arrival, there is no access to the entrance, and luggage has to be carried about 50 metres to the reception, come rain or shine. Parking is free, provided you can find a parking space somewhere, and there's no help in finding one, park where you can, in my case it was about 500 metres from the hotel, on the hill next to the buses. The groups arrive in huge buses - like in socialism for the tour - so as a private guest you have to wait until the groups' business is sorted out, then it's your turn. The guest area has been renovated, but the service roads are in a state of terminal disrepair. The air-conditioning units have probably not been cleaned for years, smiling merrily with mould... Meals are served in rotation, and you can pick up your prepaid breakfast and dinner on a self-service basis. The noise is horrendous, over 100 people trying to eat at once, children screaming and shouting is the normal noise level. At dinner, the few staff who call themselves waiters - the rest are just clearing the dishes - immediately find you to bring you a drink at a gold price, which they don't pour and, for example, you have to drink beer from a wine glass, as it's on the table, they don't bring you another. The crowds can make you wait half an hour to pay for your drink, but if you don't tip enough they will make a point of it, making faces. They heat without any need for heating, but you can't adjust the temperature on the panel in the room, it's disabled, and if you open the balcony door, the rain pours into the room. Do not go during school holidays, because the swimming pool area is full of parents with small children and the pool is not big enough for such a crowd, because other paying guests can come in from the outside. Kids running around screaming in the hallways, nothing like a four star hotel. The swimming pool water is dirty, smelly, after a swim the bathing suits smelled so bad you couldn't wash them. We threw them out. The staff are not helpful, they don't even want you to have a good time and come back because of the mass tourism. I will not.

amazing location, friendly staff, excellent renovated facilities, cant ask for more

We spent 5 nights in this hotel. Excellent location, very lovely place. Really near the sea. All hotel renovated, clean, very good pools, peacefool seaside. Gratis shuttle bus to Piran. Many various foods. Parking a little bit far from the reception. We got harbor view room instead of seaside room, but when I said they quickly changed it. The staff can speak english, germany, italian also. Beach is also near but we didnt use it. We used inside pools and the seaside front of sunterace. The arrengment of foods is perfect dont need to wait one line. Coming from Hungary better than croatia because no gate and no passport checking. It was our excellent summer holiday.

I have been visit Histrion hotel every years since 2009 until 2019 when Corona started. Now I was in a renovated hotel for the first time and my impression is very positive. The new design is excellent and in line with the world trend. I stayed at the hotel from 13.07 to 18.07.2023. Positive things: The rooms are well decorated, functional, with a nice bathroom and an excellent air conditioning system. The new restaurant is the best part of the new/renovated hotel. The choice of food is better than before for the two class, as is the service of the staff. Negative things: - do you have to charge hotel guests 10 euros per day for a parasol? I paid room 335 euros per day HB, but you could not give me parasol free?! - The situation is the same with the parking lot in garage. IT was always free or max 5 eur per day. Now you charge 10 euros per day. It's not 100% inflation for a parking space to charge so much. - The refrigerator in the room did not work and if I complaid for it immediately, the staff did not solve. In the end, they gave me a 5% discount. That's ok, but I needed a refrigerator and cold drinks at 35 deg C, as it was in July. These are small things, but they greatly affect the rating of your hotel. I hope that the next time I come (certainly by the end of 2023) these things will be corrected! Aleksandar

PROS. Beautiful newly renovated hotel. Rooms are clean. Comfy beds. Breakfast buffet is good with nice variety of local food. Perfect location right in the middle of Piran and Portoroz. CONS. Most horrible pillows in the world. You have to pay for outside pool access, beach chairs, towels and umbrellas.

It doesn't worth the price. Personnel incompetent at the desk, we had an issue with the booking and told the staff just when we arrived. We checked it the next day and we were told the problem was fixed and were given a paper with the bill, then on the last day they said it was a mistake and we were to pay much more. Food like in a canteen, "superior" room very cheap, parking lot always full you have to park very far on a steep hill. You can find much better for the price. Never again.

It's not hotel it's a barraks, solely because of the staff They want to fight with you I strongly do not recommend They don't know when their spa works when they don't, they don't know anyting and they are not interesred in the gest
