Reviews of Botel Marina

Easy motor parking

Breakfast, molded matrass next to the entrance door

The location was super central, the staff were kind and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious.

The location is unbeatable – just a few meters from the pedestrian zone, restaurants, supermarkets, the bus and train station, and the airport shuttle. Sleeping on a ship is a special experience with a unique flair, and that was exactly the reason we booked here. Luggage drop-off in front of the ship is possible, and there are plenty of paid public parking spots within 500m. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Reserved parking directly at the botel is available for a fee, but the spaces are very tight for larger cars. Our cabin had no fridge, no openable window (only a porthole), little daylight, and the air conditioning was weak and not clean – making the room too warm and stuffy at night. The rooms are noisy, and we could hear guests in the hallway and outside our door. Breakfast was okay but nothing special. Overall, the poor AC was the dealbreaker for us – this place has real potential but needs upgrading.

The botel is very close to the center and a bus station. Modern, clean.

Noisy :)

Good location, parking place

Untasty breakfast despite of wide selection Cleaning lady in the morning was doing her job so loudly that seems she wanted us move out from room asap In shower was a lot of mold

Good access to Rijeka city center and a unique accommodation, being a permanently moored ship in an active port.

Nothing

In this very interesting hotel, with impossibly excellent location, was the best served and richest breakfast I have ever eaten in hotels (and I have been in 1000 hotels). Some chef artists work there. You simply have to see that widest ever selection of food, arranged in such a beautiful way. For the first time in my life (again, I travel non-stop) I saw that the cheeses and other dairy products as well as meat products (ham, salami etc), and some sweets sensitive to high temperatures (puddings, porridges, etc.) served in glass display cases with cooling system, so you open the glass partition and elegantly take the best hygiene-stored product (I am a professor of microbiology and pay close attention to food hygiene wherever I go). Breakfast takes place in the ship's beautiful restaurant with huge windows and enjoyable atmosphere. It was really a beautiful morning experience there.

The windows in the room can not be opened. It's a ship. For me, it was not a pleasant thing, although I slept completely peacefully. Anyway, air-conditioning is fully active all the time.

The concept of the botel is very nice and unusual. Location was great, very close to the city center. Breakfast was great, a lot of choices. There's restaurant and a bar.

We got a cabin on the lower deck despite the fact that it was higher deck we booked. We didn't have a windows ( it was impossible to open it) and it was super loud around, we couldn't sleep good. We had limited time so this fact spoiled our impression about the botel. Otherwise it's a great place to stay in Rijeka.

The boat is moored in a fantastic location, right in the centre of town and close to all the main shops, tourist attractions and restaurants. Couldn't ask for a better location. The staff we very friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, with loads of different choices on the buffet. Given the excellent location, I don't think you could find anything else for such great value. The accomodation is advertised as a Boat Ho(s)tel, so providing you keep that in mind when setting your expectations then you won't be disappointed.

The only fault I could find is that our room was located on a passageway that everyone had to pass through in order to access their rooms. The sound insulation wasn't brilliant, so it was a little bit noisy at times. Fortunetely the accomodation didn't seem to be fully booked, so the disruption wasn't as noisy as it might have been. still, this is only a minor pointagainst an otherwise excellent experience.

It is something special to sleep on a boat.

The price is too high for what it is. No fridge in the room and the TV is very small.

The idea of a boat hotel right in the city centre. Room was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Good choice for breakfast. Can recommend.

Really original place to discover Rijeka from. The staff is super friendly and the prospect of sleeping on a boat, getting on the sundeck with a book, being in the city center is amazing

The area is in the middle of the city center, so it can get noisy. But the parties around are great too.

Very unique

All fine

We were really surprised with the experience at Botel Marina, of course you know you can't expect a big room, or big windows, but some of the things that are important to us, were fully met: 1. Clean and nice bathroom 2. Firm bed- I hate soft matresses 3- Functioning air-con 4- Nice breakfast- had a woder variety than I expected

The parking is quite expensive per day, and is not very clear how to get to the parking area. The bed didn't have space to get out from both sides, so one of us had to get outnof rhe bed from the bottom of it.

The staff was friendly and helpful. We were able to store our luggage before check in and after checking out. The location is good.

It is extremely noisy - there was a baby in the room next to ours which we heard crying all evening, at 4:30 AM and again at 7:00 AM. Needless to say that disrupted our sleep. You can also hear everything in the hallway. When people are walking by and talking, it's like you're walking next to them. The room was not very clean. It seemed clean at first look, but when looking in the corners and closer to the bed not so much. We found short black hairs in our bed while we are both blond. Finally the breakfast was terribly disappointing. Everything was cold and wet. The coffee was not great either. All in all, this very much seems like a tourist trap. The idea of sleeping on a boat sounds fun, but when you arrive you come to find out that the boat probably hasn't been maintained in years. The exterior and interior are both very old and could use a renovation. It is very noisy, it is not well cleaned, and the food is not good.

Location

Condition of the boat very tired needs updating feels like a prison cell !!
