Reviews of Engine rooms

Very nicely equipped, modern apartment house with very good sense of detail. Friendly owner. Great selection of local wines provided for the guests.

This is not really a fault of the property itself, but one can’t help wondering why such unattractive buildings were put up right by the seaside, blocking part of the beautiful sea view from the windows :)

The accommodation was super clean, very stylish, arty and modern. The beds were comfy and we liked the quiet area, which helpfully was on the bus route. The owner was also friendly and answered any questions that we had. We also really appreciated the shared kitchenette area, croissants each morning and that we could get drinks or plate up food.

There were no issues at all during our stay.

Our stay was very pleasant, the room was very clean and nice. There were complimentary croissants for breakfast, drinks in the fridge (fruit juice, milk and wine!) and a coffee machine. Iva was very friendly and helpful, she even leant us a parasol for the beach! Our dog got some biscuits too!

The bed is a bit soft

Well designed place with excellent host and good public transport connection in front of the house. Loved the attention to detail and the fact that you had a kitchen with a variety of drinks to use at all times.

Great room and kitchen, super nice host, lovely stay. Highly recommended.

The interior, the details, the breakfast, the lovely towels, the cozy pillows, stable internet connection :)

We recently stayed at a wonderfully curated accommodation that exceeded are expectations. The place was impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully planned. We had a generous supply of beverages and coffee, making our stay extra comfortable. Our host Iva was pleasant and attentive, ensuring a delightful experience. Highly recommend this accommodation for its cleanliness, thoughtful amenities, and exceptional hospitality.

I'm so happy we stayed there! Iva, our host is an angel, atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. I'm not gonna lie, everything was perfect and better than expected! Our room was well-equipped and shiny clean, the kitchen has everything you need, the veranda is sooo good for relaxing. The breakfasts were more than anyone would expect, it was special, well made, lovely and really A LOT. ♡ The enterior design and all the details are like a little treasure hunt during your daily things, stylish and modern in every last corner, but with comfort and elegance. All in all, Congratulations and thank you for making and maintaining a place like this, its rare to find such lovely 'home' ( We find the place easily by car and parking was fine too. )

What an absolute delight of a place! The attention to detail, decor and beautifully presented breakfast was amazing. Iva was really helpful and accommodated us being vegetarian at breakfast with something different every day - we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. It's in a residential area so nice and quiet and free on street parking right nearby. The use of the little kitchen area and lounge was a nice touch. There was even complimentary drinks and snacks. There isn't a huge number of places to eat nearby but there was enough for a few days - even being vegetarian. The little bistro up the road was lovely. Would highly recommend this place.

A home away from home! I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Engine Room and I can honestly say it was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. From the moment we arrived, the owner (Iva) greeted us with a warm smile and genuine hospitality that made us feel at home. The service was outstanding. The small team (Iva & Renata from the Housekeeping) did their best to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Whether it was giving us local recommendations, fulfilling special requests or just checking in to see how we were doing, their attentiveness was truly remarkable. What surprised me most was the little thoughtful touches with coffee. A croissant for guests and a little bag of treats for the four-legged friends. 🫶 The atmosphere of the hotel is incredibly welcoming. The cozy decor and thoughtful details throughout the building made us feel like a home rather than just a place to stay. Our room was not only clean and well-equipped, but also had a personal touch that added to the overall charm.  What stood out most was the genuine friendliness of the staff. They made us feel like valued guests and their willingness to help with anything we needed was much appreciated. It is rare to find such a dedicated and friendly team and it really made our stay special. Coming from this industry we are very critical so if you are looking for a place where you are treated like family I can highly recommend "Engine Room". We left with wonderful memories and a desire to return. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! ❤️

Our stay at Engine Rooms was absolutely perfect. The room is super clean, comfortable, and has air conditioning. Outside the room, there is a small "coffee and tea station" as well as a fridge with a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, which were all included. For breakfast, we received fresh croissants every day as well as some fresh figs. We got treated super nicely and definitely recommend Engine Rooms! Thank you very much!

This is a rare gem and if you’re lucky enough to get a reservation, you will not be disappointed. Our room was spotless, the attention to detail shows from the moment you walk through the front entrance into a lovely sun room which is also the breakfast area; there’s also a glimpse of the sea. The bedroom is very fresh and cool, equipped with all your needs; a very comfortable bed with crisp linen, soft laundered towels and all the necessary bath soaps provided. A great shower too! Morning breakfast is served beautifully from a fully equipped/spotless kitchen offering a vast selection of teas and coffees/machine to make hot drinks. Iva is the loveliest host with the kindest nature. Thank you for looking after us and going that extra mile taking us to the train station! .

There’s isn’t anything not to like!

Wonderful! Very personal experience & top-notch stay at a very fair price. Lovely breakfast, nice view from the veranda. Iva went above and beyond to make sure we had a nice experience. Location is great & there is free parking on the street.

These rooms are not just place to sleep, it’s a whole story behind them! Perfectly clean, bed is great, view, breakfast, host… the best place to stay when you are in Rijeka!!!

We've had the best hostess we have had out of all our holidays, room is clean and nice with good airconditioning not faced towards the bed.

Absolutely amazing owner Iva 🫶🏻

Street parking

We really enjoyed the stay here - the place is well designed, well conditioned, very clean and cozy. The hosts are more than you can expect: Ivy provided us with all instructions at the check-in and helped us out with additional requests like iron + ironing board and the tips for dinner and sightseeing. I personally liked the little fridge in our room and a wonderful common area with coffee, water and fresh fruit.

The place is on a hill so if you don’t plan to rent a car, getting there might be a little steep. OK thank you 

We got much more than a perfect accomodation from Engine rooms. They introduced us to a special face of Rieka with the loveable industrial design concept which cames from the history of the city. I n addition to the impressive interior design solutions, we received such warm hospitality that made the time spent here special. thank you very much!

Everything was just perfect! I am just sad we couldn't stay for more than one night, but if we ever come back to Rijeka Engine rooms is for sure going to be our choice again!
