Not what I paid for

Review of Amphora
2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 9 Aug 2022via mobile
I paid more specifically to have a superior room with an ocean view. From the photo you can see that most of the view is not of the sea. All other hotels would class this as a partial view. Reception laughed at me saying it was a sea view as it can be seen from the balcony and nothing they would do. No effort to help me or to fix it. I was wrong in their opinion. They offered me one free meal which I refused as the room upgrade cost me several hundred pounds and I wanted that refunded at least, but again, they said nothing they can do. No hotel gold perks - not even the wine. I reported this on day of check in and this was not fixed. Certainly no upgrade and no feedback either from hotels.com Hotel advised me that a cab from the airport would be approximately 60 euros each way and they offered me a hotel pick up for 65. I took uber both ways and was only 25 euros one way and 28 back. On check in there was no info provided on the hotel services except for breakfast. Hotel gym is good and both pools are nice but are quite small for size of hotel. Breakfast is average but has a good selection and has a nice outdoor seating area. Breakfast staff are very friendly which is appreciated. The hotel is very clean and is a nice 55 min walk to the old town. Take note that all the restaurants I tried in the town did not take any card payments, cash only. My stay was ruined because I did not get what I paid for or recieve my perks. Disapponting.
Date of stay: August 2022
Room Tip: All restaurants in the city are mostly cash only

Hi Kristina!

Unfortunately, you have a semi-unpleasant and not service-minded employee at the reception. A man aged 40-50 who should work with something other than people. After our long taxi journey of almost 3 hours, he replies that Booking does not know how many rooms you have available. So we had to find a new taxi and a new hotel. I will be happy to come in and show you who the person in question is because I currently live 25 minutes away from you.

Best Regards

We stayed at this hotel for nearly two weeks:

Let me point out the positives and negatives of this place:

Positive:

- Very good and helpful reception, nothing is a problem for them, no matter how busy they are always happy to assist!
- Location of the hotel is great, just across the road from the beach.
- Good spa and friendly staff.
- Good spacious and clean rooms.

Negative:
- Breakfast is very average/ not a great choice /cheap quality of food
- Hotel has not got its Beach and the pool area is not big enough for all the guests.
- Guests are terrible / some wealthy ( new money) Eastern Europeans / Russian with no manner, they just do what they want to do, dress up with branded clothes and act like the whole place belongs to them.

Well, do I want to go back there again?
Probably yes but not at the peak season !

Just returned from this hotel paid for four rooms, 3 of which only had one clean and one change of towels the fourth room had two cleans. We did complain when you call reception they hang up !
The pool area is small and poorly managed, there are dirty food plates and glasses just left around for hours, no one seems to clear up.
We spoke to the manager he said say he would look into our complaint and get back to us, needless to say he didn’t ! We won’t be returning to this hotel

First of all we ordered room with sea view, but got building view. They changed it. Then we asked for baby bed 5 times and they give it to us just after mean talk. They gave baby towel instead of bedding. How this could be 4* hotel? Also look at our bathroom handle. 🥲

My wife and I stayed in Room 911 for two nights on June 30 and July 1, 2022. The room was a good size, with a small balcony overlooking the beach and the Adriatic, and a well-equipped bathroom with shower. The hotel is on the east side of Split and was not within walking distance of Diocletian's Palace or the Riva. However, those attractions are a short and inexpensive cab ride away. The hotel has excellent facilities, including indoor and outdoor infinity pools overlooking the Adriatic, a fully-equipped exercise room, several different types of sauna, and spa services. A great breakfast buffet was included in the price of our room. The front desk staff was professional and warm, and a pleasure to work with. Hotel Amphora was a welcome luxury resort-style place to recharge our batteries!

Room tip: Get a room with a view of the Adriatic.
