“Comfortable Hotel but missing some essentials”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2011
3
people found this review helpful

This was a very nice hotel from outside and a beautiful logy and entrance. Perfect location in the middle of the busy street with several bars and restaurants, shopping as well as the pier. The rooms were comfortable but very obviously renovated on top of the old fixtures and tubs and so on which did not make it any less comfortable. Be careful there is a school yard right behind the hotel and the kids play basketball after school until around 7:30pm so you feel very much part of their game if you were planning to rest after a long work day. The food at the restaurant was exquisite especially the tuna steak but very expensive compared to everywhere else. It is much cheaper to order an entire bottle of wine than to order two glasses because their definition of a glass of wine is what you would normally get for tasting the wine. The hotel entrance is only accessible by stairs and no one offered to help carry the luggage to the main entrance. Also if you need to Iron anything there are no in room facilities and they charge good money for it but the service is fast. Free wireless internet everywhere is great and the breakfast buffet is very reasonable. This was my first stay in Rijeka so I have no point of comparison to other hotels but I am looking forward to future trips.

“Nice for what it is, but do not expect charm.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2010

person found this review helpful

Rijeka expectedly lacks the charm and small-scale of Istrian towns. Mirroring this is this hotel. It's nice and its restaurant is pleasant bit of nouvelle cuisine a la Croatia, but the rest of the hotel has a bit of a utilitarian quality to it (even if nicely polished 'utilitarian'). But I think that's nice enough, all things considered. The location is very central, there's free parking, etc. Spend a couple of days max.

“Excellent”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2009

This hotel is right in the centre of Rijeka. A short stroll brings you to the bustling pedestrian area. The hotel itself is really good - splendid facilities. Highly recommended.

“Good Hotel In the heart of bustling Rijeka”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2009
2
people found this review helpful

Hotel is located in the bustling centre of Rijeka, Modern, good size room with all the amenities you would expect in a 4 star Hotel but the en-suite was small. An excellent continental breakfast with a variety of cooked options, which is not typical of most European hotels. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, We decided to eat in the Hotel restaurant one evening, the food and service were of a very high standard.
Over all a very nice hotel, conveniently located in the centre of Rijeka with free parking.

“Good location, decent business facilities, thumbs up.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2009

Good food, spotless rooms, great location in the thick of things but the rooms were very quiet.
Mature, well informed, polite staff.
Consistent internet access and efficient messaging.

You couldn't want more from a business stay and all in all reasonable value.

The only slight gripe was that there was a bit of a chew on getting into and out of the barriered street car parking but there was always a slot so I suppose thats the price you pay for being in the town centre.
