Only good in this hotel is location! If you want ti park youre car on hotel parking you need to pay. But you want get place to park if you came to late. Then staff point you to park on places that are for people that live in that street but they don't tell you that it's not hotel parking.... More

I stayed two nights with my girlfriend last August. In a nutshell: rooms are small and poorly furnished. Same applies to bathrooms. Further, there's no air con and Croatian summers are very hot. Luckly, we were given a fan, and this at least allowed us to sleep. We also had dinner at the restaurant and food is just ok. If... More

This is a very unpleasant hotel, to the degree that I fear it may have scarred our recent visit to Croatia. There is nothing positive to say about it. From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted by unpleasant and rude staff. The rooms are small - fair enough - but lack lack basic amenities such as... More

We arrived in Rab on a stinking hot day and were checked into what was supposed to be a sea view room. What this meant was that you had to put your head out the window and look to the right for the view of the marina and the water in the distance. We were told that if we had... More

Me and my wife booked 2 nights in this hotel at the price of £100 a night in July 2011. Initially the staff was nice. The problem started when we went to eat a dinner on our first night. At the reception we were told we can have 4 choices of the dinner choosing between meat/vegetarian/fish. When we sat at... More

read a review on this site which talked about a great place for a romantic get-away...Very true! Once i got over the small size of the room based on American standards...getting a room with balcony is a MUST...we spent most of our time in the room on the balcony or in bed...we had a balcony that overlooked the marina right...

The Hotel Istra looks ok from the outside but the rooms are decidedly old Eastern bloc. True, it's not bad for the price and the hotel is located right there on the harbour front but this is a shabby three star. The rooms are described as above and the beds are singles but not too uncomfortable. It's a good option... More

Small, very clean, bit dated rooms. We only stayed two nights, so were allocated rooms on top floor, where view was overlooking the courtyard, side view of Harbour. Probably fair that people there for longer periods had best rooms. Given it was only 28E per person per night in early Sept, I thought this hotel was good enough value. Breakfast... More

don't be fooled by this hotel's website - it looks like a small, family-run hotel - it is not and is used mainly by package tours who take all the best rooms with views. we turned up at 2 p.m having months in advance booked a double room with view only to be put in the new wing (not visible...
