Rijeka Hotels with Bars

Really outstanding experience exceeded all expectations. Great spa. Great breakfast. Excellent dinner in the kitchen and a true tour de force at their Michelin restaurant Nebo. Fabulous spa facilities including multiple sauna types etc. We also got massages which were excellent. Our trip was during the late September shoulder season and it was a true pleasure. We also enjoyed the walk along the water toward Opatia. The view from our room was a panoramic perspective of the Adriatic. So glad we stayed there.

Very nice hotel, friendly staff and very clean. Only negative is most tourists come here in the summer for the beautiful shorelines and amazing sea and the hotel should install a retractable laundry line in the bath/shower to hang the bathing suits and beach towels (which you must buy locally or bring yourself as the hotel does not supply them.) The buffet breakfast is utstanding. Now for the region of Rijeka, if you have toured Europe and many of its historical places, this industrial city that also caters to tourists (for the beautiful sea, shoreline, crystal clear waters and amazingblue skies) seriously needs to power wash every building as 95% of them have probably 70 years of industrial grime on them. This is sad because many of the really historic buildings are quite beautiful (not the communist block and industrial buildings, which unfortunately dominate this city. ) As for the gastro experience in Rijeka, truly outstanding food a d service every where you eat, from the pizza bars to fine dining. The people of Rijeka are truly pleasant and focused on being outstanding ambassadors for Croatia.

Looks older from outside, pretty good once inside. Very tiny room but clean. The bed was very small I offer to pay for an upgraded but I was told there are no vacancies. Which was not entirely true when I checked out early morning, there room accreoa mine was open, and empty. I took a peak andx and a picture. See attached, that is what it should have looked like. The pictures pictures on the booking sites are probably taken with a wide lens, it makes everything look bigger and wider. Good trick. Shower was another problem, no pressure and the wall shower head holder was so way high up on the wall. Not an issue for me to reach up to it but an average person will never get to it. My issue was that it was broken so I had to use one hand shower routine which I hate. Why don't they check ands repair these ahead of time? Parking free in front of the hotel, location is prime 10 minutes walking to the core and breakfast was good. I asked for fried eggs, only scrambled at the buffet, they made it for me. The shower ands the size of the room and bed got the stars down from me.

His is a review of tow hotels: the one in which you sleep; the other in which you eat, drink, and watch the world go by. The first hotel is pretty dreary--a Titoesque relic from the good old Cold War days--spartan ill-lit, a place to hurry from. The second hotel--the ground floor where Reception nis, the restaurants, the outdoor cafe, the river running alongside the hotel, , the tree-shaded park, the people watching, the downtown bustle, and the server staff is delightful. . The kitchen is excellent (pastas, and seafood especially). the wait staff friendly, although their English is very limited. The hotel itself is a gorgeous relic of a 1880s Austro-Hungarian gilded age. I was an inadvertent guest at the hotel for 16 days while mu wife lay nearly comatose hospital with a brain injury. She survived. So did I.

The overall experience was really bad. I will try to give as much details as possible, so that it is helpful to more future hosts. BOOKING. We asked information by email a couple of days before our foreseen stay, and we were kindly given all the information and a foreseen price (about 140€ for one night, two adults and a baby cot + parking). We were instructed to book on the hotel's website, where the final price was lower (about 118€ all included). I booked, and sent the receipt by email. The hotel replied saying that, baby cot was not incluided, so I would have to pay additional 7€/night. CHECK IN. We arrived at the foreseen check in time. Apparently there were some internal miscommunications on which room the baby cot have been set up, so we had to change room number... Minor problems, but we also discovered there that the bar/restaurant presented as a nice asset of the hotel was unavailable to guests for that day and evening, due to a private party. No communication whatsoever at the moment of the booking. For us, it was a bummer and a considerable discomfort. Other guests were also compayining but the personnel did not seem to understand, not to appreciate the fact that this should be communicated in advanced. ROOMS. Rooms are small, but it is part of the boat experience I guess. However, black mold spots in the bathroom should not be. NIGHT. The private party at the bar restaurant on the boat was very, very loud and would last untile 2 am. When I complained, the lady at the information desk just replied ”I mean, it is a wedding party, what do you expect!”. However, we were located on a deck that was not so affected by the noise, that in the end was tolerable. But, several of the rooms around ours hosted students is some kind of school trip. Between 9 and 11, they were roaming the corridors, totally usupervised, screaming, laughing... I mean, being kids on a school trip. off course, it was a problem for us, especially with a baby that is already sleeping at this time. We complained to the man at the desk several times, he tried to help but did not manage so much. The night manager was alerted and this character, with some kind of macho attitude, basically suggested that ”boys will be boys” and that we were the problem. Unpolite and totally useless, congrats man. In the end, around midnight they were able to locate the responsible adult (!!!) for the trip, that started shouting at the kids and so slowly the noise stopped... only to start again at 7, when they started to pack. When, the morning after, once again, we complained with yet another day manager, he said that the only thing he could do was to let us have the baby cot for free (that we were not supposed to pay). Again, very bad experience, never again Oh yes, BREAKFAST: food average, coffee and other beverages are machine made, so not that good.
