I stayed 3 nights at this hotel last month.It was our first and last visit to Rjeka. I'll start with the bad and finish with the good. The hotel restaurant is not fit for purpose, very small menu. No other restaurants anywhere close by unless you travel the 30 minutes by car or bus to the town centre and even then only a handful are actually open. Rjeka is very run down. We ate at the hotel restaurant on our first night and the waiter short changed me 10 euro. He did return the 10 euro when confronted. The breakfast buffet is very poor. Unless you're there very early, everything is gone and nothing is replenished. On our last day, I was taking sone yogurts and fruit for our journey and a very rude waitress Malita came over in front of everyone started telling me that wasn't allowed. We don't eat big fried breakfasts like the majority were there, just some fruit and yogurt so this was out of order. Also, the previous morning, a local couple at the table next to ours proceeded to openly make sandwiches to take them with them, along with cakes and fruit. Nothing was said to them though so my advice is if you are not Croatian don't go here as the restaurant staff contempt for certain nationalities is very obvious. Malita was also with the waiter the evening of the 10 euro incident. The hotel has no pool only direct access to the sea. It's actually quite dangerous as the steps to the water are covered in algae and very slippy and it is full of sharp stones, really poor set up. The only positive feedback I can give for this hotel was for the receptionist Ena. She went above and beyond to get the air conditioning in our room fixed and also helped out with arranging taxis and a boat trip. She was exceptional, the only redeeming factor for this hotel. All in all, I would not recommend Rjeka or this hotel.
