The sign at the driveway says it all having four stars with one painted out. This hotel is living on its historic past and is just not up to 2009 standards. The rooms have peeling wallpaper, broken fittings, dodgy electrics and "antique" furniture of the sort our family threw out 50 years ago. Coupled with average food and some rude... more

Every year I stay in at least 5 hotels all over the world and I must say this was a desaster. They welcomed us with "You are staying at this hotel?!" I was so shocked by this gesture that I couldn't say anything. I don't know why they asked us that - were we too young to visit that hotel... more

Thousands of people have stayed throughout it's past and oh can you smell it when walking down the enormous delapidated corridors to your tiny, stuffy delapidated room. Shabby is too generous a word when describing the treat that was waiting for you after a long drive down the autobahn. Within an hour of arriving the decision was made to cancel... more

Unfortunately, this hotel does not live up to its reputation. It has fantastic views over the Kvarner bay, but many rooms do not share this view and face onto the carpark at the back of the hotel. The food is way below standard and if you eat later in the evening the food is ruined because it has been standing... more

Just near where the bus dropped us off from Pula was an accommodation agency so we went in only to find it was a homestay agency. Clearly we were not the first to make this mistake as the lady in the agency told us a bit about the local hotels and then kindly offered to keep our bags while we... more

the kvarner (ex "quarnero" in austro-hungarian and italian times) is probably the jewel of opatija/abbazia hotels in terms of history and tradition. its location right on the sea next a lush, large public garden and along the sea-shore walking track is unbeatable. hotel was built in the 1880s and it shows from it magnificent architecture and from the wide and... more

For people used to 4- or 5-star hotels, I can see why they would be disappointed with Hotel Kvarner. It's true that the furnishings were a little worn and I did detect a small tear in the bedspread. But for those (like me) who rarely stay in luxury hotels, Hotel Kvarner was a total treat. There's not a lot of... more

I stayed at the Hotel Kvarner for one night. My room was somewhat over the hill -- faded wallpaper, tired lampshades, a creaky wooden floor -- but it was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom appears to have been remodeled sometime in the present century. I had a wonderful sea view from the balcony; didn't get a... more
