The location of the hotel

If you are looking for accommodation in Rijeka that is both centrally located and close to the coast, then Hotel Jadran Rijeka in Croatia is perfect for you.

The sea view rooms also have their own balcony from which you can enjoy the magnificent view of the Kvarner Bay can enjoy.

Proximity to city center

The hotel is also not far from Rijeka city center. By car or taxi you can be in the heart of the city in about 10 minutes. This gives you the freedom to enjoy both the natural beauty of the coast and the urban life of the city.

Taxi costs

The taxi costs from the hotel to the city center are quite moderate. You should expect to pay around 5 to 7 euros (one way). That's a small price to pay for the convenience of getting to the center quickly and easily. This also saves you parking fees in the city.

Walk to the city center

If you prefer to travel on foot, that is also an option. The walk to the city center takes around 30 to 40 minutes. The path is mostly flat and easy to walk on, so you shouldn't have any difficulties.

Neighborhood and residential area

Hotel Jadran is located in a pleasant area characterized by a mix of modern buildings and older villas. The neighborhood to a residential area right on the coast is particularly interesting. Wealthy Hungarians once built their villas there directly by the sea. Many of them have been preserved to this day, and even if some of them need to be restored, the charm of this residential area can still be felt today. This gives the area a special flair and offers the opportunity to explore other parts of Rijeka.

These include, among other things, the service, room facilities and general amenities of the hotel. A 4-star hotel offers more than just a bed to sleep in. It's about providing guests with an all-round pleasant experience.

 

 

The service completely convinced us. The front desk, room service and restaurant staff went out of their way to accommodate all of our questions and requests. Our double room was modern and functionally furnished and offered enough space for two people. We stayed in a sea view room on the 6th floor of the hotel. What we liked best about it was the magnificent view of the sea and the large balcony, where we had a lounger, a small table and two chairs at our disposal.

We also really appreciated the direct access to the sea and the swimming opportunity on the lowest floor of the hotel. Stairs lead to concrete sunbathing areas with deck chairs and the hotel's own jetty into the water. There you can swim almost privately and enjoy the sea.

General quality of the hotel

Cleanliness plays a big role at Hotel Jadran Rijeka. At Hotel Jadran you can be sure that both the rooms and the public areas are always clean and well-maintained. Public spaces are also cleaned regularly during the day. This of course contributes to the general feeling of well-being during your stay.

 

 

But the ambience is also important. The Hotel Jadran attaches great importance to a pleasant atmosphere, which is reflected in the furnishings and design of the rooms. This means you can relax in an environment that is both modern and inviting. We particularly liked the restaurant's terrace, where we enjoyed our food in the morning and evening.

 

 

Rooms and view at Hotel Jadran Rijeka: what awaits you?

At Hotel Jadran in Rijeka there are different room categories that cover different needs.

Different room categories

Hotel Jadran offers a range of room categories to suit the different needs of guests. From standard rooms to suites, there is something for everyone. The rooms are modernly furnished and offer the comfort you would expect from a 4-star hotel.

 

 

View of the sea and the container terminal

One of the biggest advantages of Hotel Jadran is the view. There are rooms facing the land side. But many rooms offer sea views, creating a relaxing atmosphere. But that is not all. Some rooms also offer a view of the Container Terminal. This may sound unusual at first glance, but it has its own special appeal. It offers an interesting perspective of the harbor and the hustle and bustle of the city.

From our room we had a direct view of the Kvarner Bay, the hidden bays below the villa district on one side and the Rijeka container terminal on the other side. This particularly fascinated us because it gave us a direct insight into what was happening at the Rijeka cargo port. We even got up in the middle of the night to watch the ocean liners loading. At one point we were also able to watch one of these ocean giants making its way from the terminal out into the open sea. Immediately afterwards we watched as a pilot ship helped its successor dock at the terminal. As landlubbers, this was a real highlight of our visit to Rijeka.

 

 

Although the terminal is not far from the hotel, we were not bothered by the noise caused by the work at the terminal. (The work in the container terminal takes place day and night.) On the contrary! We woke up when they fell silent. Fortunately! We were able to watch as the huge container ship made its way to its next port and glided silently past our hotel and out into the Kvarner Bay. Where is his next port? We do not know it.

Special amenities in the rooms

In addition to the view, there are also some amenities that will make your stay even more enjoyable. These include, for example, free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV and a minibar. Our room also offered a balcony where we could enjoy the fresh sea air.

Bathing opportunities in the sea

For many people, a holiday by the sea is the epitome of relaxation. When you stay at Hotel Jadran in Rijeka, you have the advantage of having the sea right on your doorstep.

 

 

Access to the sea from the hotel

One of the big advantages of Hotel Jadran is the direct access to the sea. This means you don't have to drive halfway across town to get to the water. A short elevator ride is all it takes to enjoy the waves.

 

 

Quality of the water and beaches

The water near the hotel is usually clean and clear. This makes bathing not only pleasant but also safe. The beaches are tiny pebble beaches, so don't forget to bring water shoes. The quality of the beaches is good, so you can spend relaxing hours here. You can also use the bathing platform directly at the hotel. There are sun loungers and parasols available and you have access to the sea via stairs that lead directly into the water. Perhaps in winter, instead of swimming in the sea, you would like to relax in the steam room or Turkish bath available in the hotel fitness center?

The breakfast buffet is very extensive with a large selection of hot and cold dishes. If you are at the hotel in the evening, you shouldn't miss dinner either.

Alternatives for parking nearby

If the parking spaces at the hotel are full, there are also some alternatives nearby. There is parking on the street in front of the hotel. We left our vehicle in the parking lot during our stay, but we were traveling in the car with locals. It wasn't a problem to find a parking space near the hotel on the street.

My own impressions of the stay

From the first moment we felt welcome at Hotel Jadran. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which made the check-in process pleasant. The rooms were clean and well-appointed, and the sea views were a real plus. We were particularly impressed by the view of the container port, where we were able to follow what was happening in detail. That made this hotel a highlight of our Croatia trip. When do you ever see ocean liners being loaded and unloaded?

One of the highlights was definitely the hotel's restaurant. Here we particularly enjoyed the view from the restaurant terrace. The selection of dishes was good and the quality of the food impressed us. Direct access to the sea was also a big advantage. It was just wonderful to get up in the morning and jump straight into the water.

Any vulnerabilities

No hotel is perfect and Jadran is no exception. The rooms were practical, modern and functionally furnished. It had everything I would expect from a hotel room in a 4-star hotel. However, I would have liked a more individual furnishing style. This is certainly a matter of taste, but it conveys even more ambience and well-being. Nevertheless, we would like to stay at Hotel Jadran in Rijeka again if the opportunity arises.
