Hotel Istra - Liburnia

A lovely clean and friendly hotel. The views were spectacular. A wide variety of well cooked food, with healthy options available. Additional options such as lactose free milk was a bonus. All hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We particularly enjoyed the free pool activities, such as SUP yoga and aqua cycling with the lovely Anna. She made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Particularly as some of the activities were new to us. She's an asset to the hotel

The hotel has been renovated a few years ago. The rooms are simple with few amenities (so you’ll need bring your own kettle if you want the occasional tea) but reasonably spacious (though with a rather bland colour scheme). Had a sea facing room on the 3rd floor with a small balcony that was nice. Late-night noise from various parties, nightclubs etc, from along the seafront was sadly a persistent issue (but not the fault of the hotel) so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Staff friendly and helpful. Lobby bar and balcony nice, with a great view, Restaurant and the food/buffet was fine, but the menu was rather repetitive. For dinner, the inclusive beer was great, but the red/white wine could have been better. The indoor pool is small, but given the limited space in the hotel ok. No onsite parking (in the road its Euro 19 a day if you can find a spot) but the front desk helped us to get parking in their sister hotel next door (for Euro16). Maya, the massage lady, was excellent, It is an easy walk along the coastal path to other bars/restaurants. WiFi was ok, but very spotty reception in the restaurant. Overall an enjoyable stay, in a central location of Opatija. Would definitely stay in the Istra again.

We have had the best time here, a lovely hotel with great staff, from the restaurant to reception, cleaning staff and a big shout out to Joseph behind the bar, everyone was so nice. On arrival we found our room a tad on the small side so we asked to be re located and we were offered a bigger room with good sized shower. The food is fab, you would have to be very picky to not find something you liked, there is so much to choose from Hotel is in a good location with fantastic views

What a fab place, the food here is amazing, you would have be very picky to not find something you like. On arrival we were a little disappointed with our room purely as it was quite small, so we approached the reception staff who were only too happy to help, they sorted out a better and bigger room for us. The staff here are lovely and the hotel is just as lovely. Ideally situated, great views.

Very nice hotel at superb location. Vegan food provided for both breakfast and dinner. Friendly staff. A nice, warm inside pool. Very pleasant walking path by the seaside. The downfalls are the expensive parking and no beaches around with shadow.
