Admiral

A wonderful stay in the heart of Opatija. We would like to mention the friendliness and hospitality of the hotel staff as unique here – you do not experience this often anymore in this day and age. Our request for rooms on the upper floors with a balcony and a magnificent view of the turquoise sea and the small harbor was fulfilled. The rooms met our expectations, were modern and very appealing. With a refrigerator, unfortunately no coffee or tea maker. Since we booked a longer stay, there was a fruit basket as a welcome gift, a 10% discount at the bar, and the option for a late check-out. The guest is the focus; on the day of arrival, we were well supported with parking. Parking costs a bit more, but in return, the car is right in front of the door and it is in line with the usual parking fees in Opatija. We find the extremely large, first-class breakfast and dinner buffet worth mentioning. Tasty, regional, seasonal, varied, and modernly presented. We were particularly pleasantly surprised by the large selection of Croatian specialties. We went to the restaurant every day looking forward to the good food. A big compliment and thank you to the kitchen staff. The prices at the chic bar are moderate; we also enjoyed sitting in the beautiful reception lobby and drinking a cocktail on the wonderful terrace. We did not use the spa area, but we used the pool all the more. Luckily, we always found free lounge chairs, although it could get crowded at times. Right next to the hotel, there is a staircase entrance into the sea. The central yet quiet location is great. The center can be reached quickly on foot. From Opatija, we took trips to the islands of Krk and Cres, to Pula, Cape Kamenjak, and into the Učka Mountains. In the hotel itself, there is live music twice a week and, for those who want it, entertainment. It was a perfect stay for us, and we can only recommend this hotel with its hardworking, cheerful, and friendly staff. You can still feel a soul in this house. Thank you very much for the wonderful stay. We would love to come back.

We go to Opatija every year and we used to stay in the same hotel for years. Unfortunately, the quality of it isn't worth the money any more so we decided to try something new which is further from the noise but still close to the centre. That's how we found the Hotel Admiral. The rooms are clean, spacious and in a good condition, also very quiet in the evening, the view is amazing and the staff is extremely nice and helpful. The breakfast was varied and delicious, you can't not find anything you like. We didn't use the pool but it's right beside the sea and huge and the hotel also has its own beach. We will definitely be back next year!

the service was just about adequate .... the breakfast was eastern european fare and was the same old same old each and every day .. coffee was from a machine ... the bar for the whole hotel is in reception with an outside are for some 12 tables or so .. when it rains it is unusable... the pool is only open from June and has a small bar which does NOT open till mid June so if you want any kind of drink you have to leave the pool ... finds a bar somewhere else and pay another business for your service .... we witnessed cleaning staff emptying bin bags of rubbish onto a balcony to go through and search for aluminium cans ( 2 Indian guys ) when i discussed this with reception i was told there was no entry to that room and i was effectively lying .. until my wife produced pictures of the same to confirm. they said the room was used by staff to change in ?????... i have stayed in hotels all over the world .. even the ones in India don't have staff sifting through the waste on the balconies "
