Hotel Vela Vrata

I had a really horrible/disappointing experience at this hotel. I chose it specifically because it was close to my event and promised parking, which was one of the main reasons I booked. However, when I arrived, there was no parking available at all — despite the receptionist promising and the listing clearly saying otherwise. (everything was extra full, even their private, so called, reserved parking) To make matters worse, I arrived late and the hotel was completely locked with no staff on site. There was no one to ask for help or directions about where to park or how to check in (i knocked on the door and couldnt see any sings of bells etc). Since the hotel is located on a hill in a rather specific, tight area, I did my best to park nearby, it took me almost 45 minutes to find a spot (also, "nearby" is 5-10mins walk from my room, mind you) in a spot where cars could still pass and it looked okay traffic wise. Unfortunately, the next day the police showed up, as it turned out that the place I parked wasn’t technically legal — something I had no way of knowing without guidance. Overall, this was a very stressful and frustrating experience. A four-star hotel should at least provide clear instructions, staff availability, or accurate information about parking. I wouldn’t stay here again and wouldn’t recommend it unless they fix these serious issues.

Another hilltop hotel we visited as part of an InnTravel walking holiday in Buzet. Our smallish room was comfortable and offered a lovely view over the road across the countryside.|We also had dinner included – four set menus to choose from. We had fish one night, meat the other. Both were nice, and the local wine was as ever well priced, plentiful and eminently drinkable. Buzet is a small place, and we wondered around and had a drink down the road – the town is full of little side streets and plaques giving little details about the place. Really good spot at the top of the hill to rest and recover and well placed for walks. The climb up is steep but not too bad, and a cold glass of Malvazija is just reward.|The pool was a great place to cool down after a long day of walking, and there is a spa, although we did not use the additional facilities.

I wasn't a guest of the hotel, only a restaurant guest. Food was awesome and also not too expensive. View and mood and staff is absolutely top. :-)

A lovely hotel in the heart of old town Buzet. The rooms are beautiful and the restaurant delivers high quality food and wine. The staff were friendly and helpful. ||From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed by friendly, accommodating staff. The rooms are spacious and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The excellent shower in the bathroom included lovely shampoo and beautiful body lotion. The pool was lovely and clean and we enjoyed it at the end of each day. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

Great service, super friendly and professional staff, amazing old town and surroundings with even better local food. Will come again and recommend it fully!

The wellness center was beautiful and calming. We had the best time ever. It is very private and comfortable. Have nothing to complain about :)

Real old town hotel with modern facilities and old charm. No lift, so prepare to walk up the stairs. Bathroom is compact but functional, standard room is standard, but the terrace area and drinks/food are brilliant. Excellent quality and service, a great place to visit and stay.

Magnificent experience in a tiny picturesque istrian town. Highly recommend!
