Palazzo Rainis Hotel and Spa, an SLH Hotel

Excellent hotel and friendly helpful staff. |Super bedroom (no24) overlooks the pool be warned not heated but then few are in Croatia we found. |Easy walk into Novigrad.| A costal walk available, turn right out of the front gates. |Breakfast were very good. The chef can do proper poached eggs, cooked white, with a runny yolk. |This was our first time in Novigrad and even at the end of the season it was a delight, will definitely return.

This wonderful little hotel is an absolute gem. The staff are all brilliant with special mention to Marina and Ben who couldn’t have done more to make us feel more welcomed and looked after. Our room had everything we needed and the view over the marina to the town was lovely. The pool was very refreshing and the breakfast was superb. It was a shame the bar/restaurant were very quiet, maybe just because we visited at the end of the season? Would not hesitate to recommend, and I hope we will return one day!

We loved our stay at this small, friendly hotel. It has lovely views over the marina and is only a short walk into town or the beach area. The staff are all lovely and their customer service is first class, with nothing that is too much trouble. Our room was great and had a small balcony overlooking the pool area. Spotlessly clean everywhere with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was good with lots of variety.|One small point would be to make customers aware that the bottle of water that was put in the room every day isn’t free as in most hotels it is. Also at 5 Euros is very expensive.

A wonderful familiar Boutique Hotel with an excellent breakfast! The employees are very nice and always available for any kind of support. Concerning the rooms: delightful, pretty comfortable and proper. Completely to recommend!!!

A lovely boutique hotel overlooking the marina in Novigrad. Our room was quiet, lovely, well appointed with a terrace. The breakfast was really good with lots of choice and great coffee. Marina and the rest of the staff were really friendly and helpful.

Wonderful, wonderful stay at this hotel. So glad we were made aware of it via their participation in Mr&Mrs Smith. Nice 15 min walk from the main/busy part of Novigrad and the marina, and from the hotel, get an amazing view of the marina, city, and sea. Rooms were clean, elegant, and comfortable (although read at the end about our 1 issue). Loved having a balcony to sit on to enjoy the views. The staff was great, especially Mariana who helped us with massage appointments (and Sara, their outside masseuse was outstanding), recommendations for an Olive Oil tour, and was so thoughtful in arranging a "lunch box" of sandwiches & fruit for our early morning departure. In the morning it was such a treat to be served by Ben who was the nicest person in the world (by the way, the Eggs Benedict were heaven on a plate) and he took care of us every morning (and knew exactly how to make a double espresso latte that made my wife smile at the first sip). I can't overstate how perfect this place was in terms of location, being close enough to enjoy or step away from business of Novigrad, and use as a 'basecamp' for the stuff we did in the area. If you get a massage, ask for Sara..she was wonderful and does them in the "massage room" at the hotel. Our only issue is that when we visited this May, the AC wasn't turned on yet...every day they said it would get done, and on the last day they said it was on, however our room never got cool...so we had to sleep with the doors open, and unfortunately we could hear the boom-boom of the techno music from the Lighthouse festival all night long.

Great hotel in Novigrad/Cittanova. Beautiful building and location. Very friendly and attentive staff. Excellent breakfast. 10-15 minute walk to town. 2 minute walk to the beach. Great drinks and food. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

We stayed in Novigrad at the end of a walking holiday, and Palazzo Rainis was an excellent place to relax after a week of walking. Located a ten minute walk from Novigrad centre, close to the harbour, it offered solitude and a short walk for restaurants, bars and the like.|Our high-ceilinged room was spacious and overlooked the harbour. The large bathroom had a walk in shower and Rituals products.|The hotel staff were excellent, and we had a massage in the spa which was wonderful. The outdoor pool (chilly!) and surrounding space was perfect for an afternoon drink and some quiet time. The hotel also arranged a boat for us for a day, and transfers from Lovran and to Trieste airport.
