Everything! The sea view, food, location and wonderful stuff, the best staff in this hotel- kind, friendly and professional! The most capable person is the manager, Liljana. She’s very dedicated, responsible and pleasant person! A big compliment goes to the bar in this hotel. You’ll get there the most delicious coffee, coctails and homemade brandies with the best view. Thanks to guy Eddie ! An unforgettable experience. We’re coming back again soon !

I have been travelling with my best friend for the past 4 years around the Croatian coast and this will go down as one of the best stays! After initial mix up with our room, Tanja (from the reception) managed to work her magic and give us a new room, and with a balcony with that! Her attitude, professionalism and warm approach made our stay that much more pleasant, safe to say that she is amazing! The entire staff has been nothing but incredible, from Filip at the bar, who made us the best and creamiest cappuccino every morning (I do miss it now!), to Josip form the bar and his best vibes, and Branka, the cleaning lady, (can't forget her) who gave us the friendliest smile every morning. Unfortunately, can't name everyone, however I think everyone would deserve a line here for sure! The staff is what makes a great stay, and this one was the friendliest, most positive and professional in their approach, and most importantly, their familial sense of working which made us appreciate them even more; it definitely felt like home. It truly was an experience and with all the people we met, it will be difficult to forget! We, for sure, should have booked a longer stay!

Very surprised by this hotel with a very good price for the location. We’ve been upgraded to a superior room which we really appreciated! The superiors rooms are very nice, with a perfect view and a balcony on the sea. It was very clean. Breakfast was perfectly fine. Swimming pool is also appreciable although they could open the shutters.

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.

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).

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.

Surprised with the conditions and service, from my experience I think it deserves at least a 4 stars hotel. Perfect food, fresh, delicious and many choices Very comfortable and clean rooms (thanks to Vera) with stunning view. You miss a chance if you don't try Maya massage, (she beats Asians) and also the perfect coffee made by Tea. I highly recommend the Istria Hotel, for me it was the first time but for sure not the last one.

Very nice sundeck at the ocean just across the Lungomare path. We received an upgrade with sea view which made our stay much more pleasant. Nice cappuccino at the lobby bar at a reasonable price, €2.20. Valuable parking advice during the check in. Overall good value for the dinner buffet (with beer or wine) when included in the room rate. Many international TV channels.

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.
