    Hotel is not 4 star quality; in desperate need of renovations inside and out. Playground unsafe due to rotting wood. Have xl dogs locked up in small concrete space. Kids room meant for toddlers.

    Great location for a short stay

    • Junior Suite
    • Stayed 1 night

    We had booked a room for 4 people and it was quite a tight fit and though they had slightly bigger rooms, they wouldn't assign it to us even though I asked and mentioned multiple times that we had 3 adults and 1 grown teen. We traveled with friends who had fewer people and had bigger rooms with poster beds, more bathrooms etc. The master bedroom had a sloped ceiling and we hit our hands a couple of times as we stretched. It was manageable since it was only 1 night, but it would have been uncomfortable for a longer stay.

    Wonderful location, especially to Plitvice national park - there is a side road to entrance P3 ferry that you can walk to and not worry about going to entrances 1 or 2, pay for parking etc. This route was not advertised anywhere and the front desk folks told us about it. Good onsite restaurant with free breakfast and other meals (paid). On site mini zoo (they have dogs, rabbits, goats, pony, pigs etc) and play areas would be a kick for families with small kids. Staff were very friendly.

    The bathroom needs some maintenance. Small details that I am sure will be fixed for the high season.

    The hotel is located in an amazing place. Very close to the lakes and waterfalls, inside the wood! The facilities are great, a lot of things to do and the room was awesome!!

    Little housekeeping but if request for housekeeping and cleaning - it is promptly executed Hotel is only good for those who are driving. The road to the hotel is narrow and winding so have to drive carefully. Still the stay at this hotel is worth it

    It is a beautiful quaint hotel - close to the nature. It is also very close to the ferry P3 which will bring you to Plitvices Lake entrance 1 & 2 (for lower and upper lakes) The staff are very friendly and helpful Food is good Hotel is a sustainable ESG hotel.

    2 floors to carry the dogs up. That you have to pay 10euro night per dog when they are smaller than cat. The staff in the restaurant was only speaking english. Restaurant was really expensive compared on the quality you get.

    The hotel complex was really relaxing. And really close to the waterfalls. Breakfast was great. Alot of options and they fill it up all the time. Even if they speak english thay were really polite and nice.

    The rooms seemed a bit dated. The floor in the bathroom was rather porous wood panels - seemed like it had undergone a few repairs. The menu said the food was locally sourced, and that was also said in the menu, but it just wasn't that great. The burger seemed like it had been a frozen patty.

    Cozy, rustic getaway within walking distance from the lakes, trails, waterfall, and the ferry. Staff was very friendly and welcoming, and absolutely helpful! Added benefit - friendly local farm dog that runs around and keeps you company. The adjoining rooms with soundproof doors are great for traveling with families. Very convenient and quiet location!

    There was a big windstorm in the night and as the window shutter was loose and couldn't be fixed, it was flapping all the night and we could not sleep. However, the next day I asked the staff's help and they fixed it.

    Very polite staff, location great as being close to a gate to Plitvice Lakes. Dog-friendly accomodation (we took our lab there) and great playing possibilites for our child (table tennis, animals etc.),

    The room was a little small for the price we paid. I would have like screens on the windows so that we could keep them open without getting mosquitos.

    A great location and lovely rooms - just needs to improve the on-site restaurant.

    The menu at the one restaurant on site was very limited and overpriced. For this reason, by the second night of our stay we chose to drive to a nearby restaurant instead of staying on site. The restaurant staff were not particularly helpful either (got our bill wrong twice and borderline rude when we questioned some food we'd ordered). Room service also didn't really clean our room - they just put fresh towels and folded sheets on the bed. There was still rubbish in the bins and other things that should have been cleared.

    Great location next to Lakes. Nicely designed accommodation and nice 'campus' of the hotel. Very friendly and helpful check in staff who were helpful to guide us on how to walk the lakes and lesser known pathways!

    Staff was friendly but not up to date or accurate on some plitvice lakes boat information or getting around within the park. We also had a loud buzzing sound in the room that was not resolved during our stay.. but all the staff really are welcoming and proud of the facilities and made us feel comfortable.

    Great facilities and spaces for smaller children. Restaurant offered good options. Room was large enough for 4 of us, one cot included.
