Elegant Vintage Charm

Galeb overlooks the water, we sat out on the balcony many times enjoying the great weather, boat activities, and street action. The room/hotel was classic vintage charm with comfortable bed, shower/tub, refrigerator, elevator, and restaurant. The reception was friendly and very helpful. The morning breakfast room was elegantly decorated, the food beautifully displayed, and what an amazing selection! We had a pleasurable two night stay.

This hotel may have been grand half a century ago but now it is a bit past prime. We were disappointed that they had no ramp to easily bring in luggage. Both front and back entrances have some steps you need to navigate. Additionally, they had no iron, not in the room or at the front desk for guests to use. We found that to be a bit unbelievable. Also, they did not have any adaptors for guests to borrow... we were unable to charge any of our electronics. Staff was otherwise polite and nice.

Relaxing stay

Opatija does not have that much to offer as far as sights. That being said, the hotel was on the main street across from tourist shops and a concrete beach with chairs. Our room had a great view with a terrace that had 2 chairs and a small table overlooking the sea. Room was a studio and was large, but a/c did not work well. Wasn't needed room had plenty of windows. Waiters at restaurant and bar were helpful and professional but the food was not good at all. Parking was easy and hotel has an elevator. Overall a relaxing low key hotel. Nothing great nothing except food was horrible.

Could be better

Was a nice sized room with old world charm. Bathroom quite small. Air conditioning did not seem to work so was a long uncomfortable night. Fan running and window open with noise. Breakfast was minimal, although they did offer to cook us eggs. Could be so much better for the price!! Dinner at ruzmarin was one of best on our month long trip.

Super dejligt, lidt ældre hotel, meget rent, fantastisk beliggenhed, hvis man har værelse med balkon mod vandet, ellers kan det være hvor som helts man bor, fin morgenmad, vores værelse var rummeligt, køleskab til kolde drikke, ingen kaffemaskine, men en kop kaffe kunne købes i restauranten, adgang til søster hotellet på den anden side af vejen med “privat” strand, alle kunne leje deres solsenge (16 EUR per dag for 2 personer) så mere privat var den ikke. Vi vender gerne tilbage til hotellet. Parkering i p-hus lige ved siden af hotellet (20 EUR per døgn). Book bord i god tid på byens gode restauranter, så som Ariston (nævnt sidste 4 år i Michelin guiden) og Rozmarin er også et godt sted (ca. 4 dages ventetid)
