Hotel Park

Perfect location, very helpful and pleasant staff. Food was also excellent. Since, we played tennis every day we found very convenient. Courts were much above the expectation regarding quality for hotel courts. Very good preparation and the maintenance.

Accommodation for one night with half board. Dinner was great and breakfast too. Near Stari Grad and a walking path around the sea to Opatija. We liked it.

Booked a room with a balcony, but didn't get one. We booked a "double room, sea facing", through hotels.com. All the room photos show a balcony. This is important to us because we like to have somewhere in the fresh air/sun to sit and read and relax. Our room had no balcony. Why is this important? Well, be aware the Hotel Park is right next to the main coast road and basically has no outside space. There's no garden or outside swimming pool to sit by, just a small patio area labelled as a coffee shop, with about half a dozen tables and chairs right next to the road. So, there is nowhere comfortable to sit and relax outside. Pros: Central position in Lovran, just across from the harbour Friendly staff Good air conditioning Nice, warm indoor pool Simple selection, but reasonably done food. Cons Difficult parking. Very small parking area at the side of the hotel which you have to go to the receptionist each time to get them to open. Or 4 small spaces at the front which require you to reverse onto the main road immediately after a blind corner. Slightly faded/dated feel to the whole hotel. Odd smell in the upstairs corridor. As mentioned, no outside space to relax, apart from some upright chairs next to the road. Noisy road with occasional extremely noisy motorbikes/other vehicles passing at all times of day and night Small corner shower in the bathroom with a small shower head and very little room Really bad coffee from the coffee machines at breakfast. You're stuffed if you get a room without a balcony. You only get a small, single window with an electric outside blind that only opens to 2/3 of the window size. Overall, disappointing and extremely poor that they don't provide the rooms shown in the booking site photos.
