My stay at Botel Marina was an absolutely wonderful and unique experience – I can't recommend it enough to anyone visiting Rijeka! First off, the location is fantastic, right in the heart of things yet offering a peaceful retreat on the water. While the boat itself is older, it's been charming and lovingly renovated, creating a truly special and inviting atmosphere. My cabin was admittedly miniature, but incredibly well-designed and cozy. It felt more like a cosy boutique hotel room than a boat cabin, which was a pleasant surprise! For me, cleanliness is paramount, and they truly exceeded expectations here. The room was spotless, the bedding fresh, and the bathroom was sparkling clean – white, mold-free, and no unpleasant odors, which is a huge plus and often hard to find. The small porthole windows let in plenty of natural light, adding to the lovely ambiance. I was genuinely surprised by the thoughtfulness of the room amenities. There was a TV, a kettle with tea, coffee, and even a little biscuit – small but significant touches that really make a difference and make you feel at home. Breakfast was outstanding! Fresh, with a wide variety of choices, including excellent vegan and gluten-free options. This attention to dietary needs is commendable and shows a real care for their guests. A special shout-out also goes to the staff and the parking arrangements. I had reserved parking in advance, and upon arrival, a staff member was actually waiting outside to guide me and ensure I parked smoothly in the marina. Even though the parking is outdoor and uncovered, I felt my car was perfectly safe. Overall, Botel Marina offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort, with a fantastic location and invaluable attention to detail. If you're looking for a unique and comfortable stay in Rijeka, look no further – this is it!

The contactless check-in worked well and the host can be contacted via WhatsApp if you have any questions. The hostel is beautifully situated just above Rijeka (better take the bus when you first arrive, otherwise you'll have to walk up a lot of steps) with lots of nice cafés and bars just around the corner. The rooms, including the kitchen, were super clean - I've never experienced anything like it! I'd love to stay again!

Location is fantastic. It's not too complicated to find. Rooms are as described. My room, even if shared with others, had toilet so you are ok. They can leave the key for you to make self check-in.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The room and the hostel itself are in pretty modern style. Everything was clean and there was a nice balcony to chill and meet new people. The check-in could be done at any time and the host was available, the cleaning staff welcoming and nice. Overall a nice experience.

    Location is just great. Nearby is good bakery with morning coffee. 25-30 min by foot to one of the beaches. Nearby is bus stop to go by bus to Opatija and Lovran or other beaches in Rijeka. Quite close to Bus/Trains stations (20-25 minutes walk). Good communication with administator. Quite good self-managed organization of hostel life. Seemed to be a safe place for girls to travel and stay the night.

    The vibes in the hostel are super good! The staff is the nicest, especially Nenad, a great gentle giant who should need a pay raise. It is normal to get to meet new people and start chatting with everybody. The kitchen is clean and there is everything if you wanna cook your favorite meal. The toilets were clean enough. The location is super good, close to the best beaches in town and close to all the main services you can look for.
