Good stay, worth the cost

Fair quality for the price. The staff was very nice and was able to correct a scheduling error I made. I really appreciated that. It would be nice if they had a chair in the room instead of a tiny stool. I work while I travel and couldn't work comfortably from the room. Many (but not all) of the photos of my room type showed a chair, so I was expecting one. And lastly, their check out time on Google is listed incorrectly. It's listed as 12pm there, so I was surprised when I got a knock on my door at 11:05 saying it's past checkout time. It is listed correctly on hotels.com, so that's partially my fault, but they should have it correct on every platform. Overall, a good stay but room for improvement.

Great location, with only few minutes walk to the main bus stop. Facilities just average. Breakfast could be better, in terms of freshness. Also, flies are around the food

The hotel is incredibly noisy. You can hear EVERYTHING your neighbors are doing. The internet was also very unreliable which made it difficult to do my job. I also had to cover the window with blankets because the curtain didn’t completely block the light, so you had bright light on the ceiling that was glimmering from the water. I will not be staying in any botel after this. The breakfast was also just so-so.

This was a great place to stay. I enjoyed my stay thoroughly. The place is very clean and comfortable. It’s very close to the bus station and everything is in walking distance. The management was extremely kind when I had a medical emergency. They looked after me and helped me in going to the hospital emergency by taxi. Although I was fine after the doctor’s visit, the fact that the hotel staff helped me so much in feeling secure at a difficult time is highly commendable. I thank them all for that. If I go to Rijeka again, I’ll definitely stay at Botel Marina.

Something unique spending a night on a boat, however; the steps attached to side of the boat did make alot of noise at night.

Unique experience, great location!

This was a cool experience! It's a historic ferry, it is not first class but it's something different! The boat is docked right across from some great restaurants so the location is perfect. The breakfast is pretty good, nice buffet. I would stay there again!

Wonderful breakfast. Close to bus station. Great place to drink and wait out a passing storm. Very helpful staff. Remember, it is a metal boat and everything echoes around and about, so careful what noises you make or what you say loudly! Great beds. Would gladly return next trip.

Novelty hotel in a great location!

This hotel is in the very centre of Rijeka! Staff were incredibly friendly and would stay here again if visiting Rijeka. The only small issue is the lack of the light that reached the room due to only have two very small windows.

Great location of a boat-hotel!

The hotel is actually a boat! Great location (right on the water), one block away from the city's pedestrian area, with restaurants, shops, entertainment, and historical sites within steps. Public parking lot is right outside the hotel, which came very handy. The room is very basic, but clean. There is a small TV, free Wifi, but no air conditioner, refrigerator, or microwave. Breakfast was included and consisted of choice of eggs, cold cuts, pastries, juices, coffee and tea. The hotel offers you a 10% discount on a dinner in the hotel's restaurant. I strongly recommend against using this restaurant. The food was ok, but the service was the sloppiest and slowest I have experienced in a long time. There are plenty of much better restaurants all over the city, right outside the hotel. That being said, we had a very nice stay overall and I would recommend this hotel to others.
