This property was clean and comfortable. The staff went over and above to make sure we had a great night. They lit a fire in the fire pit and accommodated us for a delicious meal
Big clean room in very modern hotel. Ten minutes drive from Plitvice Lakes. Good facilities - kids loved the pool, and lots of space for us all in the family room.
Overall good for a one night stay. Close to the park, restaurant on site, parking available. Basic amenities. Pool included, extra for sauna and hot tub.
Great new small hotel near Plitvice Lakes Park. The hotel rooms are newly renovated and very comfortable. Nice large pool area with a nice patio for drinks and dinner
We stayed in mid-October for one night and had a decent stay. However, there was no air conditioning and no screen on the windows, so if you leave the windows open to cool the room, bugs will get inside. There were many stinkbugs inside already when we arrived. Otherwise, the room and facilities were nice. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh.
Beautiful property. Pool was pretty. Small hotel. Only problem was how LOUD it was! My room was #4 and it shared a wall with the restaurant. The small hallway is open to the reception area. You can hear every time someone comes in or out of the hotel.
A wonderful stay in quaint area of Croatia especially if you plan to see the Plitvice Lakes. A Resort atmosphere which was very relaxing around the pool and dining area.
Everything was great from reception [Monique] to room [v clean with tea/coffee] to dinner [Jasmine]. Staff mostly efficient. Breakfast was ok but too much is left open for flies to land!! Food should be covered and people should respect that. I only ate cereal and yogurt!

We had a wonderful stay here after visiting Plitvice National Park! The pool was relaxing and enjoyable. The food and wine were great and the staff was wonderful!
We had two double rooms, both were nice, clean and spacious. The restaurant was nice and the food was good.
Breakfast was basic continental but nothing wrong with it

Good but not great. Just a standard hotel vibe. Spacious rooms though and a nice bathroom. Good for our 1 night stay. The highlight was where we ate, Fast Food BBQ about a 5 minute drive from hotel. Get the meat platter!!!!! The hotel food and restaurant seemed overpriced so we ate out.
The family room was spacious and cosy. Nice pool area and a tiny gym. Breakfast was good.
Restaurant was a bit pricey and the service was bad. They almost burned my 35e steak (ordered as medium) and did not care when i mentioned it. Kids meals were huge!
This hotel was a pleasant surprise after the long drive to the Plitvice Lakes area. The hotel is clean and the room was very nice. We enjoyed dinner at their restaurant. We weren’t there long enough to enjoy the pool which looked wonderful. We also left early for the park so weren’t able to enjoy the breakfast. This is a great hotel with lots of nice amenities.
Everyone here was friendly and helpful. I had a bad situation with my rental car and they were able to move my reservation to accommodate me. The massage was nothing short of amazing!!! I get massages all the time but this was definitely Top Tier! I would absolutely stay here again
