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)

scortesia, disinteresse e zero cura per gli ospiti
Se vi accontentate di una buona posizione e di una struttura apparentemente bella e comoda, allora andate all’hotel Galeb. Per noi è stata l’esperienza più deludente di sempre e la scortesia del personale annienta qualsiasi cosa accettabile dell’hotel.
Ci viene data una camera al secondo piano con un letto scomodo e un materasso sottile (doveva essere a doppio strato). La camera spaziosa e apparentemente bella aveva macchie di umidità sul muro, cenere vicino alle finestre (probabilmente di un precedente ospite visto che noi non fumiamo) e un bagno piccolissimo con il lavabo crepato. Era una camera al secondo piano e l’ascensore era guasto. Al check in si sono scusati per il disagio ma nessuno si è offerto di aiutarci a portare su le valigie (ed io ero incinta)! Il giorno dopo arriviamo alle 10.00, un po’ in ritardo, per fare colazione che era inclusa nella tariffa (la colazione è dalle 7.30 alle 10.00). Troviamo tutto chiuso e ci dicono che non possiamo fare colazione. Torno alla reception (alle 10.03 minuti) scusandomi per il ritardo e dicendo che ci bastava solo un cornetto e un cappuccino, aggiungendo che in vacanza può capitare di fare un po’ tardi ma che eravamo comunque in orario. Alla reception ci dicono che non è possibile arrivare in ritardo (ripeto, siamo arrivati alle 10.00) scandendomi gli orari della colazione e dicendo che potevamo consumare alla carta! Tra l’altro, dell’eccellente colazione di cui si vantano (fatta i giorni seguenti) tante cose erano stantie!

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.

Zentral gelegenes Urlaubshotel
Wir hatten eine Woche Unterkunft mit Frühstück im Superiorzimmer mit Balkon und Meerblick gebucht. Der Aufenthalt erfüllte alle unsere Erwartungen. Hotel, Zimmer und Umfeld waren sehr gut. Obwohl das Hotel nur als 3-Sterne-Haus klassifiziert ist, gab es keine Abstriche im Vergleich zu früheren Aufenthalten in 4-Sterne-Häusern. Parken im dahinter gelegenen Parkhaus eines Einkaufszentrums etwas teuer, aber alternativlos und in kurzer Entfernung.
Infolge der direktem Lage an der Uferpromenade kann es insbesondere am Wochenende abends und nachts etwas lauter werden durch die gegenüber liegende Partymeile.

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.
