Depadance Lovorka - Krk

Stayed at Bristol with some friends for a few nights while driving through Croatia. We got the half board which is definitely worth it because the morning and evening buffet are pretty good for what you pay. And the biggie for us, unlimited local beer and wine on tap! The concierge helped upgrade our room, free of charge, when we weren't content with the number of beds in our suite. They also called us a cab while we had drinks at the bar. The town of Lovran itself isn't great, but it's a little more than a five minute cab ride to Opatija if you're looking for something to do. The private beach that the hotel has is kind of crummy. Not what we would call a beach in the States. Overall good hotel though, good service. Stay away from the hotel's laundry service.

The hotel is in a beautiful area. it is kind of dated but clearly management expands significant efforts to keep the property clean and inviting. We were on a full board plan. The food was reasonable, but nothing like a high level restaurant. You cannot go hungry though. What bothered us is our inability to get away from smokers either in the hotel (you cannot smoke inside but smoke drifts in from the outside through open doors) or at the beach (you can be surrounded by smokers at any time).

Beautiful view!! Close to everything in the small town of Opatija (sp?), HUGE buffet breakfast with everything...more quantity than quality but definitely worth getting up for. WiFi only works in the lobby, but with that view you should really be out and about anyway! Would surely stay there again.

Nice hotel at a good price in a nice spot
