Hotel Excelsior - Liburnia

좀 오래 되서 관리가 필요해 보입니다 아침 저녁 식사는 괜칞은 편입니다 특히 피자도우 맛있습니다 실내수영장 좋구요

The Excelsior occupies a lovely setting, surrounded by trees and with great sea views. It has easy access to the magnificent Lungomare promenade and the small but charming Old Town of Lovran. The facilities are excellent and Mr.Tomac, the GM and his team were friendly, hospitable and helpful, consequently we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. Our suite was spacious and luxurious and we made full use of the Excelsior’s pools, restaurants and bars when we weren’t exploring Lovran and nearby Opatija, both of which are blessed with a glorious coastline and stunning Austro Hungarian and Belle Epoque architecture.

Seriously disappointed, not it’s 4 stars worth. Our family room on the 5th floor had a terrible smell. After twice a day reception visits during 4 days to ask for a solution we have finally received a new family room. Cleanning of the rooms could be much better.

Just returned from 10 days half board at the Excelsior. Booked a single room with limited see view but delighted to be allocated a double room overlooking the whole bay on the 7th floor. All facilities consistently clean and tidy, buffet lunch and breakfast always plentiful and varied. Sunbeds reserved daily despite signs telling patrons not to but always managed to find a bed when we wanted one. pool area could get rather noisy as we were in the European school holidays which we had not thought about. Staff have excellent English and always helpful and polite. No complaints here

Although there are some small negatives, this personal hotel will win you over so that you will be not wanting to leave like us! The hotel is in a magnificent location directly on the sea front of Lovran. Lovran is an unspoilt small town / large village with a delightful very small old town and has everything you could want without being over touristy. Lovely long seafront promenade goes on for a mile or two Pros: Food is good (but not excellent, Lots of it but not always cooked perfectly ) with an extensive buffet at breakfast and dinner. breads are amazing , as is the pizza and fresh fruit and salads. there is always fish and meat and vegetarian. Good soundproofing Hotel has its own little stony beach with a few sun beds and a lovely outdoor pool set in large grounds. Lots of sunbeds with mattresses. Beautiful views over the sea and islands from public rooms and sea facing room s (essential in my opinion) Fabulously peaceful, and thank goodness no music by pool Staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly Spa is absolutely fabulous. Lovely large indoor pool with lots of windows and outdoor sitting space and the changing rooms and showers are very good . (although the man on Sunday was the only staff member to have been rude the whole stay) The bar has a balcony overlooking the sea and does a huge array of cocktails Room clean on arrival (but only “touched up “ each day after that). We had a kettle in the room because the rep insists for the British tour group but no other rooms have one. They are very eager to help with your luggage Now the Cons: Outside seating area for breakfast and dinner is plagued by smokers. Perhaps they could divide it into 2 sections so that the non smokers can go outside too without being enveloped in smoke. No decaf coffee at breakfast. You have to buy by the cup which seems unfair as regular coffee and tea is provided . And I could not find any at the local supermarket so best to take your own No bathroom amenities of any kind other than a soap dispenser on the wall. Their Air con is no such thing. In my room there was a temperature control in the room but it did nothing except blow occasional uncold air and it was impossible to get the temperature below 23. However my neighbours rooms both show 24 or 25 but were cooler than mine! It is all regulated from reception and they decide how cold each room is allowed to be. The rep said open the windows instead but that is no good with a busy main road on one side and trees with mossies on the other. And last night my neighbour had what they described as a huge flying cockroach come into their room! I eventually went to reception and discovered that each room has a temperature set centrally and they changed mine. It was better for a few days but still not exceptional. Even worse although the fan blows all night the air cooling seems to switch off at 10pm and come back on at 6 am - but its nighttime you want to be cool! No air extractor in the bathroom. Ligh

Really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Right by the sea, great for swimming, along with two outdoor and one indoor pool/spa. Very relaxing. Good food and friendly staff. Shops easily accessible by walking along the coastal promenade or a short bus ride. Very scenic area.
