Hotel Kristal - Liburnia

It’s just great Great location, great service, great views, easy parking - thank you all

My worst ever hotel experience. We where on a roadtrip holiday, and had booked this hotel because it had on site parking, i checked google maps to confirm, and even called the hotel in advance, to see if we had to make a reservation on parking, as we would arrive late in the evening, and we read that Opatija could be a bit bad with parking. They said "no problem, just come". We arrived at 21 in the evening, after a 700km drive from Munich, and when we arrived they had no available parking. There was a couple of spaces inside a gate beside the hotel, and we asked if we could park there, but no, that was for the employees, and i said that it would only be temprarly until the morning, so that we can sort out the parking issue, but no. They where not interested at all to help us, and only said that we had to find a space in the street. We ended up driving around the place for 1 1/2 hours, without finding a spot to park, went back in, and said that they need to come up with a solution, but no help, so it ended up with us turning around and driving back into italy, and found a hotel along the highway to get som sleep at 02 in the morning, after a total of 1000km driving that day. So my advice is : Just stay away from here.

The hotel has a very old-fashioned style. The carpet in my room was very worn and there was a hole in the wall. Be prepared to have a parking lot if you are lucky, as the hotel does not have enough parking lots.

Nice clean rooms, tasty food and very friendly and helpful staff members.

We were the first guests of the hotel in the new season, so it is especially worth highlighting and praising the teamwork of the staff. The best part of this neat and clean hotel is definitely the staff. Friendly, cultured and polite. I hope that as guests we will repay them in the same way.

It was disturbing wit all the pigeons at the terrace at breakfast.
