It´s easy to confuse "Art Hotel Depandansa" to be the same as "Best Western Art Hotel". They have the same location and quite similar photos on the web-sites. The first one is a 3 star hotel and is located in a building right next to Best Western Art Hotel which has 4 stars. I think this is a little sneaky and unclear. They share facilities, like f.ex breakfast and the reception.
Room was clean and tidy. I had two different rooms. The double bed was good, though a little hard matress, but I guess that´s common in Croatia. The single bed was horrible. You could feel the metal suspension in it, and just the fact that there´s metal in the matress is not ok. Very uncomfortable. Noise was a problem. You could hear sounds from the neighbor rooms very good, and sounds from the hallway. Bathroom was ok, but, the showerhead was awkwardely placed, but worked somehow. In the other room though, the shower head was placed in breast hight in locked position! Totally unacceptable. I had to hold the shower head the whole time, which takes away a lot of the enjoyment of showering. Due to the location of the hotel and height of the building, there´s no nice outside view, just some sad back alley, walls or parking lot. I don´t know about the top stairs, but I persume it was not so much better. Just 3 floors. Generally speaking I think apartments is much better in this price range, which is also most common. Good hotels are very expensive.
