Hotel Excelsior - Liburnia

We have been here many times and coming back again soon. Hotel has everything you need and best buffet breakfast and dinners.

좀 오래 되서 관리가 필요해 보입니다 아침 저녁 식사는 괜칞은 편입니다 특히 피자도우 맛있습니다 실내수영장 좋구요

We arrived for a weeks holiday on the 8th July. Was disappointed on arrival at 12pm to be informed check in was at 2pm so we would need to come back later, but they did store our cases which we were pleased about. So hotel itself is ok, location is good, some great views from the restaurant whilst having breakfast or dinner. Breakfast was served 7-10 and had everything you could want, cooked breakfast, pastries, cereal, fruit you name it, what was good to you could help yourselves to drinks free of charge, fresh juices or coffees and even syrups to add. Dinner was 7-9pm and again can’t fault the food at all. Always multiple meat options, lots of salads, pasta, pizza, a full range. Unlike breakfast though you had to pay for your drinks and they aren’t that cheap. We headed to the local supermarket 500m away from the hotel and brought everything we needed at a much cheaper rate (also made a picnic daily for lunch) hotel room was pretty standard, no iron, but has a hairdryer and body wash is provided. Air con was great, and room was cleaned everyday with fresh towels. We used the gym every day and the spa which as fab, only frustrating thing is that they don’t open till 8am, so we would run in the mornings. The views are well worth it. The indoor pool is salt water, unsure on the outside pool as we didn’t use it. We would head out to the beached area (stones/rocks) and sunbathe there. Top tip get up early to get yourself a bed, I was up every morning at 6am to read and got 2 beds. The location of the hotel as previously mentioned is so beautiful, lots of places to walk. If you are feeling adventurous then we climbed mountain UCKA and the views at the top are well worth it, but take lots of water, and some parts are very steep. Only downside to the location of this hotel is the fact the pool area and most of the hotel has lost the sun by 3/4pm at the latest, but had sun for breakfast at 7. The staff seemed friendly but we didn’t spend too much time in the hotel. There are a lot of stairs so please be aware of this, 2 lifts that every man and dog want to use all the time. You can occasionally hear dogs barking as they are allowed in the hotel. But on the whole, a good hotel, great food and lovely location (minus the sun disappearing early doors) would I return, yes to the area and probs yes to the hotel. Wouldn’t say it’s 4 stars though. 3.5 at best. Nearly forgot, if you want to travel anywhere to other beaches etc and don’t want to walk, the bus stop is directly outside the hotel. Number 32 bus is what you need.

The whole experience has been wonderful. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Our waiter Lakshay is always pleasant and smiling. This is somewhere to visit time and again, and definitely want to return to Excelsior hotel

Room was very clean and pleasant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and there was plenty of choice. Breakfast was particularly good. Short walk to town centre and sea with a longer,easy walk to larger town of Opatija.

This is the second visit to this hotel, I did not review it the first time I visited. Reason for revisit was the excellent indoor pool, weather in September can be a bit iffy in Croatia so this is why we chose this hotel for a second visit. The hotel, not sure if just the time of year or whether it is year round, is geared for coach parties which makes for a quiet hotel during the day time. The hotel is clean, staff are friendly, dining experience was better than last year, much improved, pizza was the best I have tasted and my go to most nights. The thing that could be improved on is the price of a bottle of wine in the dining room, far to expensive although we did partake a bottle or two but looking around the dining room most people were only drinking water, was this because they were tea total or was it the price of the wine!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you do stay at this hotel I would recommend a sea view as the hotel is on a busy road so can be noisy at night, that said we did have a road side room last year and did not find it too noisy but I know for some guests this was a problem. The hotel is nicely situated in Lovran, although Lovran is only a small town, the costal path to Opatija is well worth a walk. Buses run outside the hotel taking you to Opatija and further on to the city of Rijeka, both worth a visit. Our second visit, will we have a third, the answer will probably be yes. Thank you to all the staff for their hard work.

This is a friendly and comfortable hotel, within easy reach of Lovran village and a pleasant coastal walk away from Opatija. I went with Just You Holidays for solo travellers and so was part of a fairly large group. My room was a good size, included a fridge with minibar and also a kettle (no tea or coffee provided). The bathroom was fine, with shower over bath. I had paid extra for a sea view, and was very glad I’d done so, as it was lovely to sit on my balcony looking at the sea. I got beautiful sunrises every morning. The rooms facing the road would have quite a bit of traffic noise and fumes, whereas I was able to keep my balcony doors open all the time. My only criticism about the bedroom is that the carpet is worn and in need of a clean. Otherwise, everything was spotless. There are 3 pools: 2 outdoor and one inside, also a wellness centre and gym which I didn’t use. The adult pool outside was salt water, which I liked. Plenty of sunbeds around the pools and in the garden, but that side of the hotel is in the shade from mid-afternoon. The beach to the left of the hotel, 5 minutes walk away, stayed sunnier for longer and personally I enjoyed swimming in the sea. It’s pebbly, so take or buy water shoes. The water is wonderfully clear and clean. Breakfast was good, with an excellent variety of foods. The dinners were ok, nice salads, but not much hot food choice for vegetarians. Plenty of fish. It was pretty standard package holiday hotel fare. Some of us went out to the harbour a couple of evenings, just for the joy of eating by the water and having waiter service! I would definitely return if staying in this part of Croatia, and I hope to explore more of that beautiful country.

The hotel and the service was really nice. The breakfast and the dinner were delicious. We enjoyed our visit. Just a small problem was the room, it was clean but old and we weren‘t able to open the window, it was locked. The best wishes from us!

Check in @3 after a early morning flight, hotel was clean food not much choice but what was available was eatable and by 8:30 the food was emptied and not refilled .unfare to reserve the tables we are all paying guests , no kettle in the room ,(all 4* hotels have kettles in rooms) light didn’t work as we entered the room , dogs were allowed in this hotel , so why do they have carpets which were all stained in the corridors, The spar is nice but the pool is cold the outside pool is warmer. Yes the staff don’t smile in the restaurant all seemed very miserable .Wi-Fi is ridiculous, connection is rubbish, Shame really very disappointed.
