First night neighboring guests was loud, so we asked for help and was relocated to other room. (Great quick and helpful service of receptionist). The locker room by the pool has very small lockers and no clothes hangers.

Kind and professional staff. Clean pool. Versatile food options. Location of hotel. Magnificent seaside view of the whole Kvarner bay and city of Rijeka.

Some walls and cellars needed attention. One of the waiters wasn't very attentive, but all the others were very professional and kind.

We recently stayed at Hotel Istra Opatija for a fallbreak getaway, and we couldn't have been more pleased. The breakfast buffet was abundant and offered a wide variety of options. The bar also served excellent cocktails and delicious meals. Our room was spacious, and the facilities were in line with the money we spent. However, what truly stood out for us was the range of sports activities included in the hotel's services. This was the primary reason for choosing this hotel, and it didn't disappoint. We had the pleasure of meeting the trainer, Ana, who was brimming with energy and positive vibes. She tailored the activities perfectly to our fitness levels and needs. Usually, we don't spend much time in the hotel while on vacation, but this time it was almost impossible to leave because we were so well-entertained on the premises. Even the less-than-ideal weather didn't bother us, as the hotel had so much to offer. In summary, if you plan to visit Opatija, you absolutely must stay at Hotel Istra.

Staff mostly very unfriendly

Facilities and location great

This isn't the Hotel's direct problem, but I think they have to emphasize, they haven't got any parking lot. If you travel to Opatia by car - you have to pay parking fee everywhere (april - october 0:00 - 24:00)! There isn't any free solution. The daily prices depend on the zone and the place where you leave your car. It takes 17-32 EUR / day! It can be a big additional cost, what you don't count.. I think the hotel has to offer some kind of discount or voucher in the near closed parking garages!

The hotel and the staff was excellent! We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and in Opatia. The breakfast and the dinner was delicious and hearty! The bar's prices are fair. You can rent bicycles. They offer free activity programs for the guests! The room was comfortable and clean. Even you may ask for room cleaning every day. The receptionists are polite and informative.

Had half-board and ate only once in the evening at the hotel - the dinner time is only two hours which basically means that everyone is queuing up to get warm food at the same time and my idea of a holiday doesn’t include standing in a line for mediocre dinner.

Excellent seaside location right at Lungomare. Direct access to sea from hotel’s beach deck and good food/drinks at the beach bar. Sun beds are not included in the room rate which I didn’t mind since that meant they were available without people reserving them unnecessarily. Good breakfast. Bicycles for rent (although there are really no bike paths or lanes nearby).

the quality & variety of the breakfast is rather dissappointing, I'd appreciate more local products, more fresh fruit & some salads

great staff at the reception - Mr Marco was professional, cordial and extremely helpful; although the hotel is big & busy he creates the ambience of boutique hotel; THANK YOU very clean & well maintained

We booked half board and I am not sure I would recommend it. There was a decent variety of foods. Not much for vegetarians and vegans though. I found it strange that kitchen staff didn't seem to know what the food contained (e.g. I asked if there was alcohol in the dessert and they didn't know). Also at dinnertime it was always a little to full for my taste, didn't matter if we came early or waited till later (when there were also less foods to choose from though). I think if you want to save money and don't like to have to search for decent restaurants for your dinner, you are well served with the half-board. Personally I would choose the hotel again, but only with breakfast, eating dinner outside at the many restaurants available.

The location and the beach were great. We had a room with balcony out to the sea, which was lovely. Hotel staff were very friendly and relaxed, especially the cleaning ladies were really nice. Prices at the beach bar were very reasonable. The town is very pretty and not too busy. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Great location, with gorgeous view. Very nice access to the sea. Room was modern and clean. Nice breakfast with a very good selection. Yes you have to pay extra for parking and sunbed, but it’s a three star hotel and for this great value! Definitely would go back!

Only public parking is available on the street which is relatively expensive. Parking company is hunting for charging you.

Good location, clean, good food, nice stuff, good facilities.

This was our third time to spent our vacation in this hotel. The food was ok, but to compare to previous years a bit less fine. The inside pool area is a bit small. There is no parking place, but the there is a garage 5min walk, we could purchase the ticket for our entire stay, due to super bad weather it was not comfortable.

Great location, friendly staff. Beautiful view to the see. Due to extremely bad weather (stormy, windy) we were not able to use the beach.

A fridge in the room would have been nice to have to cool water to drink. But that's all. Everything else was nice.

Perfect location, nice & helpful staff, great breakfast, own beach, room with sea view. Overall great value for money.

Some of the food of the buffet felt like it was made yesterday. The chicken wings was very dry. I dont have children. This is a childfriendly hotel, but I feel like a designated play room would ad value to the hotel. Also, a bit far away from the train station so I had to take an Uber.

Breakfast, the room and that it was close to the sea. This was perfect for backpacking like I did. Close to the bus station. I really enjoyed my stay.

Room and bathroom were pretty small but fine for solo traveller and a short stay. Nothing to dislike.

Perfect location right on the Lungomare. 10 min walk from bus station and town centre. Nice private beach open 6am-10pm. Decent buffet breakfast and dinner make it good value. Balcony with gorgeous sea view. Everything very clean.

On the evening of 24/06/2023, the behavior of the waiter in the bar was horrible! He spoiled our evening! hurtful, impatient!!!! the other staff were nice! to pay separately for the sunbeds...rather ask for that much more for the accommodation.
