a large hotel with charming atmosphere and predominantly middle to lower middle-class clientele (no snobbism meant !!). Friendly and competent reception staff, rooms large, could do with some refurbishing but all in good style and clean, balcony sea view was great. Plenty of food in fin de siecle dining room or even outdoor terrace weather permitting. The house has surely seen much better days and could be moved to more upmarket rating with some investment. Parking no problem. Overall recommended.

I spent one night at the Hotel Bristol in early June. My room had a lovely view over the coastline; the room’s small balcony offered views of both the coast and the gulf – lovely! The room’s furnishings were undoubtedly once quite elegant and had been well maintained, but the building and its furnishings were decidedly past their prime. Still, my room was well appointed, very clean, and very comfortable.

The breakfast buffet held a generous array of delicious foods, with a much wider and fresher range of options than I had expected from this small hotel.

I was also very favorably impressed by the manager, who was helpful, professional, and knowledgeable about the area.

I walked the beautiful Lungomare to Opatija and was very pleased that I had chosen to stay in the quieter, more laid-back town of Lovran rather than Opatija, with its masses of resorts, restaurants, shops, bars, and tourists. If you also want a more quiet experience, the quaint and charming Hotel Bristol is well worth considering.

Excellent service, very clean, friendly people, bi-lingual conceirge, amazing view from the top balcony.. price was reasonable, considering where it was, on the water, and so close to walking distance to town. Would recommend it to anyone traveling to croatia!
