Reviews for Hotel Degenija

Review 1：The hotel is well positioned to visit Lake Plitvice. There is a restaurant and a bike rental shop. 21/2 kms away there is a Mini market. The room on the Third floor was big and modern. The hotel has an elevator and amply free parking. Breakfast was good. The staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

Review 2：This hotel is in a great location for visiting the national park but has very little else to do in the surrounding area. So i recommend with a short stay or arranging car hire.

Review 3：Very nice hotel with lovely staff. Food was nice and very well priced. Room was comfortable and equipped with all necessary items.

Review 4：Nil

Review 5：very good 4 star hotel.Quiet, good sized room, very clean bathroom, comfortable bed. Friendly and helpful staff and good quality european breakfast. I agree with many other reviewers that this appears to be the best hotel outside national park. Easy 5km drive to main entrance [1] of national park. Recommend walk C. Will stay again.

Review 6：Room basic. Not cheap for quality of rooms and facilities, compared to Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb where high-end 5-star properties at this time of year were cheaper (though this seems to be the norm for the area)... and then they charge fairly heftily for bike hire.

Review 7：Great location (obviously), staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast had quite good variety for a smaller establishment. Nearby restaurant serves decent, big meals.

Review 8：Location is good and a very famous (may be the most famous one within the area) restaurant is next door. Since this is our 2nd anniversary trip, the hotel has arrange some surprise gift and give us a very good room

Review 9：No soundproofing. You can hear everything from the surrounding rooms.

Review 10：Good location (10 mins by car from the National Park), very friendly staff, nice breakfast, free wi-fi. Degenija Restaurant is right next door.

Review 11：No air conditioning, only heating. However windows could be opened so managed to cool down the room somewhat.

Review 12：Very spacious and clean room and bathroom.

Review 13：No complaints about anything

Review 14：Nice location. Not at the lakes but only about a 5k drive. Really nice bar and restaurant. Enjoyed chilling out there after walking around the lakes

Review 15：It rained like a monsoon and ruined our park visit we came 5000 miles to see, but that is not their fault

Review 16：Convenient location near the park Friendly front desk staff Comfy bed Nice room if a bit dated decor Clean room good restaurant on premise

Review 17：We visited the beautiful Plitvice Park for two days and stayed at Denjenija that night. New hotel with beautiful suites. Nice restaurant next door and bistro upstairs for breakfast and outdoor bar. Friendly, helpful staff. About a 10 minute drive to the park entrance.

Review 18：none

Review 19：New hotel and restaurant that was clean, spacious and was an unexpected pleasant surprise for a country setting. Breakfast was great the associated restaurant was very good for lunch and dinner. Highly recommend.

Review 20：Rooms were pretty basic. Nothing fancy, but it does the job.

Review 21：Location was fair. Pretty close to Plitvice National Park. It was easy to find. They had two options for your dining. Staff were pretty helpful especially when my wife fell ill on the trip. They gave me directions to the nearest Doctor and offered to call the doctor in.

Review 22：The wifi was in and out, not a big deal. I understand the old cables in the area have a hard time supporting the current needs.

Review 23：This is a beautiful, modern, ultra clean and comfortable small hotel. It is just a five minute drive to entrance 1 for Plitvice Lakes National Park. Both the restaurant and the Bistro are very good also.

Review 24：spacious. there are two restaurants nearby. the staff is really sweet and kind. we checked out to see plitvice and it started to raining. we came back to the hotel and they let us back into our room until the regular checkout time.

Review 25：It was a small breakfast eating area. Not really a "don't like" but it was no frills overall. The proximity to Plitvice is a seller. We got here the "back way" which really sucked... I don't know why our GPS sent us through the woods for 4 hours of extra driving time.

Review 26：It is very close to the number 1 entrance of Plitvice National Park. No frills and the restaurant next door was nice.

Review 27：Loved the hotel. It was clean, modern and very efficient. The service was amazing and helpful. Very convenient location from the Plitvice lakes. The attached restaurant was good as well. Overall great experience, will definitely visit again.

Review 28：The breakfast staff could have been more friendly and the coffee from the machine at breakfast was horrible. The wifi was only working in reception and not in our room for most of our stay.

Review 29：This hotel was a good option for Plitvice - the reception staff were very helpful and the room was very comfortable. Also,the meals in both the cafe and restaurant on site were delicious.

Review 30：Not a huge choice at breakfast and staff didn't keep replacing items.

Review 31：Location, great for visiting Plitvice. Food in the restaurant in the evening was great and good value.

Review 32：The bed squeaked every time someone turned over.

Review 33：Because we left early on both mornings we did not have breakfast. However they packed us a lunch pack which gave us enough for both breakfast and lunch. They also had a bistro in the hotel and an adjoining restaurant which meant not having to travel to eat.

Review 34：The shower is in the bath and the water spilled out…

Review 35：Lovely hotel. The location of the hotel is perfect – 5 km from the Plitvicka jezera. The family room is big and very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Near the hotel there is a very good restaurant for dinner.

Review 36：I traveled throughout Europe for five weeks this past summer. Staying here was one of the top experiences of the entire trip. Staff, location, room, amenities, and breakfast just excellent. Dinner at their restaurant was in the Top 3 of my entire trip. Stay here if you are visiting Plitvice Lakes. It's worth the extra money.

Review 37：Perfect location not only for visiting the Plitvice lakes but to do several activities in the surroundings. Wonderful terrace and bar to sit in the evening and to reflect the day over some drinks.

Review 38：This hotel is perfect for a visit to the Lakes. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Our rooms had an outside terrace which was great. We enjoyed the luxury of this hotel and can recommend it to anyone.

Review 39：Lovely people always ready to help you in any circumstances. We loved the chance to rent bicycles and get a map were to go. The close restaurant and the internal bar provide an excellent service to all guests. The visit to the lakes has been unforgettable

Review 40：The bed was a bit lumpy. Breakfast was pretty average, especially the coffee machine coffee.

Review 41：We enjoyed dinner at the restaurant. Interestingly, had a lovely view from the shower. You can swim in the river across the road, where there are the ruins of a mill.

Review 42：Nothing really. Of course you cannot expect 6 stars facilities in the national park area.

Review 43：Staff friendliness and their pleasant manner. We were very nicely welcomed by the reception staff in spite of our late arrival, and staff in general were all very smily throughout our stay. Breakfast was also nice, you forget you are in the remote area from the city.

Review 44：Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable front desk staff. Rooms are comfortable and clean and bathroom is big. Beds are super comfy. Cafe/cocktail area is nice to have pre-dinner drink and restaurant has good value homestyle croatian cooking.

Review 45：There is a river nearby (5 minute walk) that is nice but I would have liked a pool since it is easier with a toddler.

Review 46：I loved everything about this hotel. Really professional (but friendly) staff. Top-notch facilities. Large comfortable space. We slept through breakfast on purpose because we decided the room was so perfect for getting quality rest, we should sleep in. My 2 year old loved the space and had plenty of space to play. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. Rooms were air conditioned and restaurant next door served excellent food and had great service. Staff provided great tailored information for exploring the falls. The facilities are brand new. Great attention to detail and quality accomdstions and nice features like slide down wooden blackout blinds for the windows. The room was very spacious and my husband was able to finish up some work at the desk entirely apart from my daughter and I snuggled up reading bed-time stories on the sofa in a little alcove.

Review 47：Lovely accomodation only a short drive to PLitvice Lakes. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The bed was huge and super comfortable and the bathroom was very clean and modern. Staff were friendly and helpful. Many options at breakfast and the restaurant next door has good food also. Would definitely recommend this place to stay especially if visiting the national park.

Review 48：Cannot complain about anything.

Review 49：Very friendly staff at reception desk and closely situated to entrance gate of Plitvice National Park. Excellent breakfast and restaurant on-site.

Review 50：Thin walls, automated coffee machine.

Review 51：Wonderful helpful front desk manager who gave me invaluable information about Plitvice Lakes, beautiful location, close to the park, new, modern building, comfortable beds.

Review 52：The price was a little high.

Review 53：Location to Plitvice lakes was nice, the room was nice, wifi was good. I feel like you get a better experience in a sobe personally but i would stay here again nonetheless. I'd look for a cheaper price though. Food in their restaurant was pretty good and gets really busy so make a reservation bc i don't think there are many options in the area.

Review 54：They have problem to evacute water in the bathroom If we take a shower the become with 10 cm of water

Review 55：Everything was correct The food was correct The situation was great

Review 56：We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant (there was no where else to eat, unless you drove a few kilometers down the road) and while the service was great, the food was really mediocre. It worked because we wanted something within walking distance, but the food was tasteless and lacked flavor and was really disappointing.

Review 57：This hotel is located about 5 kilometers from Entrance 1 of Plitvice Lakes National Park and was perfect for our overnight trip there. The room was comfortable and clean and the hotel staff was very friendly. Breakfast in the morning was wonderful and had a great variety.

Review 58：Only a few miles from Plitvice lakes national park, this hotel is a great location. It's not actually in the park, but that isn't an issue really. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is an excellent brasserie and a restaurant with a wider menu, both onsite. The room (ours was on the third floor) was very clean and comfortable.

Review 59：The distance from the Lakes entrance meant a cab was necessary to get there, so not the best location for someone without a car. The hotel should consider offering a free shuttle to the Lakes

Review 60：The staff are really lovely and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and cater to our requests

Review 61：The staff went out of their way to help with any requests - even mapping our forward route on Google Maps and then printing out the multiple pages - and all without accepting any payment. The food in the Plum Cafe was excellent and plentiful (400 gram steaks!) and that in the adjoining restaurant was equally good.Boutique

Review 62：If there is an iron & board in the room it would be more convenient for tourists who travel a long way from Asia to Croatia.

Review 63：The hotel is about 10 minutes drive from Plitvice National Park which is pretty convenient for tourists with rental cars. Its restaurant (for dinner only) opens until 23:00 which is perfect for people who arrive late from the city.

Review 64：The hotel staff were really welcoming, friendly and accommodating for our whole stay. For some reason our booking.com booking stated 3 people and there were 4 of us. The hotel were happy to accommodation and offered to make up the sofa bed in the (family) room we had booked, they supplied extra towels and breakfast was just 10Euros extra for the 4th person! The hotel was clean, the breakfast was good (hot food was also served which was very welcome on a grey morning) and it was the perfect 1 night stop off.

Review 65：The staff were so friendly and super helpful with all our questions and transport needs. The room was very spacious and the bathroom was modern and huge! Overall a great place to stay when in Plitvice Lakes.

Review 66：Friendly staff and comfortable room made this a nice spot to wait for the weather to clear so we could enjoy a day at Plitvice Lakes National Park. We found the food, wine and beer at their adjacent restaurant to be quite good. Try the Pizza Degenija - the sour cream and egg made for an interesting combo. Their fried calamari was excellent!

Review 67：wifi issues - very slow and network was down. Waited for an hour for our pizza and when it did finally come, it was the wrong pizza! But he apologised sincerely. Happens i guess, but he could have atleast brought the fries out while we waited for the pizza!!

Review 68：10min taxi from plitvice lakes (entrance 1). Very helpful and friendly staff, stood talking about football for half an hour with the receptionist. On site Restaurant wasn't too bad and well priced. Breakfast was great! Perfect location and definetley one if the nicer hotels in and around plitvice jezera.

Review 69：Knowing it was our 40th anniv, staff had decorated our beautiful room with a congratulatory sign and rose petals. Then they delivered a complimentary split off sparkling wine. Fabulous. And adjacent restaurant is an equal gem. Try the "veal under a bell."

Review 70：This hotel is just a few kilometers from Plitvice Lakes national park - easy access for your hike! The hotel is not fancy, but it's everything you need with friendly and helpful staff, free breakfast, and a restaurant on the property. They even gave us a free shot of their own plum brandy when we checked in! Bike rental on site, too.

Review 71：Need a little bit of more food variety in Reastaurant for Vegetarians

Review 72：Everthing is good including the Staff Breakfast can be better excellent and helping staff would come back 100% although 5 km away from the park entrance need a car for sure

Review 73：Walls are very thin. You can hear everything in the next rooms--running water, flushing toilets, and alarm clocks.

Review 80：The staff were amazingly helpful and we got complementary brandy on arrival, the hotel was in a great location and they organised everything for us from dinner reservations to cabs, the rooms were really clean and comfortable and the wifi worked great on the room. The two restaurants were awesome (especially the wood fired pizzas) and the cocktails were so cheap :) definitely recommend!

Review 82：The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and everyone in our family enjoyed the breakfast selection. The restaurant was a hit for everyone in our group of 5, it was very easy for everyone to find something they liked. The area is beautiful and the hotel was the perfect place to stay!

Review 83：The hotel was pristine and the employees were extremely helpful, genuine and friendly. When we got soaked during a rainy trek through the nearby Plitvice Lakes park, the staff even let us use the hotel dryer. In every way, it was a wonderful experience. The connected restaurant is excellent, too.

Review 84：Everything was wonderful at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was amazing. Super helpful and accommodating. We even got an upgrade which was very nice. The restaurant at the hotel was fantastic and very affordable. We can't wait to go back soon!

Review 85：Nothing

Review 86：Trying to hike in Plitvice Jezera but too much snow, so headed to the hotel early. Felt like a comfy, cozy ski lodge. I got a free upgrade to a bigger room, the breakfast was lovely and the snow gave the area a lovely atmosphere.

Review 87：Missing a spa & pool.

Review 88：Staff where very friendly, food was fantastic. Excellent location for touring Plitvitce lakes, 10-15 min drive, wifi is great. Beautiful rooms. Great parking but not gated.

Review 89：The stay was too short!

Review 90：Free local grappa, restaurant next door has fantastic food, staff are very helpful, hotel is well appointed with good breakfasts.

Review 91：Couldn't use the bar in the hotel but to be fair this was probably because it was out of season (late December).

Review 92：The service was excellent and the staff could not have been more helpful. Extremely friendly front desk staff. Excellent location and the restaurant opposite was perfect for dinner and drinks. Was given a complimentary local drink and also a bottle of fizz to celebrate our honeymoon. Also upgraded to the suite without even asking and no extra charge.

Review 93：The free wifi is temperamental and dropped in and out a lot.

Review 94：Staff were very welcoming and helpful. The location is perfect for a visit to Plitvice Lakes, and only 30min drive to Rastoke. The restaurant located next door has a good selection of food, with very large portions, and is not at all expensive.

Review 95：This hotel was beautiful - not only is it located in the picturesque countryside near Plitvice National Park but Andrea at the front desk makes you feel so welcome. The comfort of the room was of the highest standard so far on our travel around Europe. We dined at the restaurant adjacent to the hotel for dinner which was also of an exceptional quality and great value. Once again the service was amazing. Breakfast in the hotel dining room was delicious with amazing views. We wish we could have stayed longer and we look forward to returning - Thank You!

Review 96：Wifi was inconsistent.

Review 97：Six of us stayed in three rooms during off season. The staff and facilities are excellent. The breakfast included in rate is a full hit breakfast and was great. We also had dinner at the hotel restaurant and it was very enjoyable.

Review 98：The wi if was a bit slow sometimes, but nothing major.

Review 99：The Hotel has a wonderful athmosphere and lies conveniently close to the lakes. The staff was very helpful, also when we called on the way, because we got lost. We enjoyed our weekend very much and would choose the Hotel again, whenever we return to see the lakes.

Review 100：We only spent one night in this well-maintained and clean establishment. Breakfast was served in a nice area. The receptionist was friendly and helpful with tips on navigating the lakes. We also had a pleasant dinner at the restaurant next door, which is under the same ownership.

Review 101：A bit hot in the room if you don't open the window.

Review 102：The hotel is just 7-8 km (10 mins drive) from Plitvice lakes entrance 1, comfortable rooms, bathroom is big. The breakfast is good, there is a restaurant just 30 seconds walk from the hotel (owed by the hotel owner). There is also a supermarket near the hotel (in 3 minutes drive).

Review 103：Horrible breakfast coffee! The machine used to make coffee for breakfastis barely good enough for hot water for tea! I ordered coffee from thebar (excellent) and had to pay extra for every cup I ordered. It is hardto understand how 4 star hotels want to scrimp on a decent cup of coffee- Not good at all.

Review 104：Comfortable hotel with good cafe, very close to the main attraction ofthe area, the wonderful Plitvice Lakes National Park.

Review 105：Nothing at all.

Review 106：Everything! Friendly and helpful staff, welcome drinks, spacious rooms, coffee bar with good coffee, restaurant with excellent food and close to Plitvice Park.

Review 107：Nothing!

Review 109：- nothing to dislike

Review 110：- small, modern hotel - sufficient parking facilities - large room, nicely furnished, quiet - brasserie with nice terrace in house, restaurant next door(usually very busy, reservation a must) - good breakfast buffet - entrance 1 of the nat. park only a few kilometers away

Review 111：Bed sheets too small to fit the entire bed Breakfast of low quality Unable to split invoice between cash and credit card Attendant forgot to book a table as requested

Review 112：The adjoining restauarant

Review 113：The gentleman working the front desk (forgotten his name) was so helpful and kind. They provided a free upgrade and small bottle of champagne because we were celebrating our honeymoon. Would definitely come back here if ever in the area again.

Review 114：We couldn't adjust the air conditioning and the room was too hot.

Review 115：This hotel is in a convenient location to visit Plitvice Lakes, if you have a car, or can be reached by bus. The staff were helpful and it was very handy to have an on-site restaurant which was excellent.

Review 116：Avoid the restaurant attached to the hotel and eat at others along the road that look more inviting. GPS can't find this hotel or the "town". Know where you are going before you set out for this location.

Review 117：That it wasn't in the park but was close; extremely quiet.

Review 118：Restaurant next door is very handy and there is a wide selection, but staff and food are sadly not even close to being of the same standard as in the hotel. A real shame.

Review 119：Well situated and very comfortable with great staff and good rooms.

Review 120：Waiter in the restaurant was poor...bad attitude, reluctant to explain items on the menu

Review 121：Lovely, modern hotel with a cafe/bar and nice restaurant nearby. Excellent staff in the hotel and cafe.
