We stayed just one night on our recent visit to the park. The room was spotless, well-priced (about $50) and only about 10 minutes drive to the park entrance. We peeked at the hotel lodges and would definitely recommend this guesthouse over those. Breakfast at 5 Euros/per person extra was a bit lacking, but gave us something to start our day. For those interested, we arrived late one afternoon and began our park exploration the next morning. 6 hours was enough to thoroughly hike the park, leaving us free to move onto other parts of Croatia.

We were visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park and did not have a reservation. We checked out the local "hotels", some of which are right across the street from entrance #2, however, they were rather pricy and did not look as though they were worth the money. It is a very compact area, so it was easy to locate other opportunities.

We opted for the Knezevic Guest House. From the outside it looked so clean and well kept we went inside. We were shown the room by a very friendly receptionist and we were very pleased with what we saw. The price was approximately $50.00 US including breakfast which was served in a downstairs dining room by very nice staff.

Our room was compact, but clean, clean clean. The property is only three years old and well kept. The room was equiped with good bedside reading lights with controls within reach, two bedside tables, a small stool, hooks and small closet. The bathroom was small but with beautiful chrome fixtures and lots of hot water and clean towels.The window treatments were quite nice, the bedspread matched and the windows open for fresh air and although it is on a corner of a small street it was very quite.

In summer the back deck with chairs and umbrellas would be a lovely setting to relax and have a snack or cocktail.

It is about 2 Km from entrance #2 so it's better if you have a car. We loved this place and would recommend it highly.
