It's not easy to rate this hotel, and 3 stars may perhaps be doing it injustice. It is an old hotel that has been renovated, so, if you are not looking for luxury, then it may be OK. But, keep in mind that this is the oldest and cheapest of the three hotels that form the Terme-Krka spa complex, so it is mostly filled with older people on rehab and on crutches. If you are not one of them, you may enjoy your stay more if you go to either Hotel Kristal (one rung up), of even Hotel Balnea (the newest and the best one - and of course, the most expensive).
The rooms are in need of renovation, while the therapeutic part is satisfactory renovated. The meals are served in the neighbouring hotel Kristal - for the patients visiting through the state healthcare system they are tasteful, but not on par with some other similar spas (self-serving breakfast, lunch and dinner are served based on the choice from 3 main courses). The swimming pool(s) of the Vital are quite bad. They are only good for therapeutic purposes (with 35 °C they are not only to small for swimming, but the water is also too warm). A visit to two nicer pools in the fancier hotel Balnea has to be paid extra (per day/visit). There is a fitness, but it is only moderately equipped and could use some updating. There are some parking places for the visitors, but there might not be room for all vehicles and dinner parking places are a bit awkward to use (you need to ask for a remote controller at the reception when trying to get in). The staff is generally friendly and eager to help. The surrounding offers opportunities for some pleasant hikes or bicycle rides (but you might want to have some sense for navigation/orientation).
Advertised as 4 star, in reality 2-3 star hotel. Used mostly by ederly people on rehabilitation. Old equipment from 70's, no A/C, old CRT TV. No amenities included, only towels and bed linen. Restaurant and main reception are in different buildings. Church is nearby and has loud bells at 7 every morning. It takes 3 days to get laundry washed.
