Set to the beautiful green scenery, on the top of the hill just a few steps from the Amfora hotel, it offers great possibilities for relaxed holidays. If you prefer jogging, join the trail in front of the hotel, the beach is just 150 m away, the city centre is close. The rooms may have old furniture but are very... More

Would definitely not recommend this to anybody. We read the reviews from others but thought for the price and location (we thought maybe sea breezes would make it worthwhile) we'd give it ago. If you can survive in a little oven then this would be the place for you. No air con or fans make this place unbearable. Had to... More

I just wanted to add a few comments to counterbalance some of the more negative reviews in case people were put off staying at the Pharos. As for the backpacker's review, either s/he was just really unlucky, or is used to staying in 5* hostels! The Pharos is really fine: immaculately clean towels and bedding are changed daily if the...

Hotel Pharos was an excellent choice - much cheaper than any of the competitors, brilliant location, helpful staff, and a breakfast arguably as good as the four-star hotel we stayed at. Quite a young crowd, but some families too. Wish we could have stayed longer. The outdoor pool was also great.

We were so amazed by the stunning island of hvar. A true gem. Unfortunately, our accommodation crushed our experience and spirit. It all started on a bad note. The receptionist was unhelpful and rude. The room was worse - the sheets were covered in what appeared to be bodily discharge and blood. Not kidding. We are not picky about decor,... More

We arrived not expecting a lot given that it was cheapest place we could find in Hvar and knowing that the hotel was 2*. We'd also read the reviews on here so were expecting something truely awful. Not the case. Maybe not the ideal place if you're planning a nice couple's break, but if you're with friends and intend to... More

If you're on a budget, this is probably the cheapest place in Hvar. With a couple of friends, it could be more economical than a hostel. Aside from the breakfast, Internet in the main area, and nice terraces, there isn't much more to say. Can't say the rooms are terribly clean, and they are carpeted, which is not good in... More

I've just come back from a week at the Pharos, We knew the hotel was 2* and weren't expecting great things. As the cheapest hotel on the island i can safely say that this hotel isn't all bad, okay we had to unplug the shower with tweezers but unless you are a prissy person this isn't a big issue really?...
