We didn't realize Opatija in Croatia would be so crowded on a weekend in late September 2012. We were 'lucky' to find a room at the Hotel Istra.. The room was 103 € at checkout. Parking was about $12 US. The car parks in the hotel were all gone, the only alternative was paring on the street at about $1.00... More

This hotel needs a lot of updating, not just for aesthetic purposes but for things to work properly. The rooms are small and they only have 4 rooms with air conditioning( was 37degrees)We managed to get one because we had booked for one , but originally they didn't give us one until we made some noise and threatened to ring...

try asking that your room is not on the highest floor if you have a big suitcase as you will have to carry it for the last flight of stairs.. we had a great view and were overall very satisfied with what we got.

Me and my girlfriend will for sure get back to Istra hotel next year. Great hotel location and very nice rooms. Staff was proffessional and so kind to us. Delicious meals! Denis & Martha

During my stay in hotel Istra i foud the staff very friendly, helpful and professional. The room I had was clean. Location is also great, slight walk from the centre. I would recommend people staying here.

Lovely part of town on the waterfront, however, the foyer of the hotel looked OK, but the room was less than average! Chipped plaster, water damaged bathroom, marks on walls, very aged and run down. Staff not interested in their guests and unhelpful. Internet Impossible! Overpriced for what you get, you are only paying for the location. The pool was... More

Had been looking at these reviews with interest over the last month and can clarify a few queries Hotel: Although looks a bit of a concrete jungle in... More
