Quite a nice drive to the national park, warm sunny weather. The hotel looks friendly enough- good parking. Once inside you realise what the 'communist' reviews are all about. The staff are very helpful, and the rooms are simple and clean. Nothing extraordinary here. It's a 5minute walk down to the entrance of the national park. For the location, it's excellent, like the other hotels within the area. The rooms are clean. The big let down is the food. We ate at the hotel restaurant- us and a few other couples in a massive hall- echoing with silence and looking like it should hold about 500 people- not nine. Now if you have low blood pressure and no taste buds, then this is the place to eat. The food, was microwaved, expensive and contained so much salt, most probably to hide the taste. To be fair, this repeated itself in the resturant next door. Overall it was pleasant stay- you only need one night here and a packed lunch to enjoy the beauty of the national park. It's hold the clearest turquoise blue waters you'll ever see.

This hotel was excellently placed for access to the park.

We got into our room late morning . It was a large room with a sitting area and felt very spacious.
Staff were helpful and multi lingual.
Breakfast was excellent.
We were able to buy a ticket for the park on the first day and have it stamped at the hotel desk for free re-entry on the second day.
Older tourists were obviosly struggling with the lack of lifts.

We really enjoyed our stay at Plitvice. We received a very friendly greeting at reception, where we were given a complimentary upgrade to a wondeful suite with a spacious bedroom, huge living room/conference room and two bathrooms. The living room overlooked the back of the hotel yard with a view of one of the lakes. Just a short walk down the hill brought us to the entrance to the National Park. The hours we spent strolling amidst the incredible waterfalls and lakes were the most relaxing and refreshing moments we can recall. The sound of falling water permeated the air while we enjoyed one beautiful view after another. There are trams, boats and buses available for ease in reaching some of the distant reaches of the park, and all included in the price of admission. The hotel has a good restaurant with a friendly staff. The desk service was also helpful and fluent in English. It is a great hotel for enjoying this natural treasure of Croatia.

Most hotels in the Plitvice Lakes area are fairly pricey, this being no exception. The only rooms left were superior, which we took, it was huge, with a settee and TV area. It's obviously been a while since the rooms were decorated but still they were clean and well equipped. The staff were friendly and helpful, most speak English and the hotel couldn't be in a better location for vising the lakes. Breakfast was included in the price.
