Hotel Istra - Liburnia

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!

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.

Breakfast was great, staff is really good special regards to Alex at the reception desk who was so kind and helpful! We got upgraded to sea view room which was great!

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.

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.
