What an absolute delight of a place! The attention to detail, decor and beautifully presented breakfast was amazing. Iva was really helpful and accommodated us being vegetarian at breakfast with something different every day - we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. It's in a residential area so nice and quiet and free on street parking right nearby. The use of the little kitchen area and lounge was a nice touch. There was even complimentary drinks and snacks. There isn't a huge number of places to eat nearby but there was enough for a few days - even being vegetarian. The little bistro up the road was lovely. Would highly recommend this place.

A home away from home! I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Engine Room and I can honestly say it was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. From the moment we arrived, the owner (Iva) greeted us with a warm smile and genuine hospitality that made us feel at home. The service was outstanding. The small team (Iva & Renata from the Housekeeping) did their best to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Whether it was giving us local recommendations, fulfilling special requests or just checking in to see how we were doing, their attentiveness was truly remarkable. What surprised me most was the little thoughtful touches with coffee. A croissant for guests and a little bag of treats for the four-legged friends. 🫶 The atmosphere of the hotel is incredibly welcoming. The cozy decor and thoughtful details throughout the building made us feel like a home rather than just a place to stay. Our room was not only clean and well-equipped, but also had a personal touch that added to the overall charm.  What stood out most was the genuine friendliness of the staff. They made us feel like valued guests and their willingness to help with anything we needed was much appreciated. It is rare to find such a dedicated and friendly team and it really made our stay special. Coming from this industry we are very critical so if you are looking for a place where you are treated like family I can highly recommend "Engine Room". We left with wonderful memories and a desire to return. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! ❤️

Our stay at Engine Rooms was absolutely perfect. The room is super clean, comfortable, and has air conditioning. Outside the room, there is a small "coffee and tea station" as well as a fridge with a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, which were all included. For breakfast, we received fresh croissants every day as well as some fresh figs. We got treated super nicely and definitely recommend Engine Rooms! Thank you very much!

There’s isn’t anything not to like!

This is a rare gem and if you’re lucky enough to get a reservation, you will not be disappointed. Our room was spotless, the attention to detail shows from the moment you walk through the front entrance into a lovely sun room which is also the breakfast area; there’s also a glimpse of the sea. The bedroom is very fresh and cool, equipped with all your needs; a very comfortable bed with crisp linen, soft laundered towels and all the necessary bath soaps provided. A great shower too! Morning breakfast is served beautifully from a fully equipped/spotless kitchen offering a vast selection of teas and coffees/machine to make hot drinks. Iva is the loveliest host with the kindest nature. Thank you for looking after us and going that extra mile taking us to the train station! .

The place is on a hill so if you don’t plan to rent a car, getting there might be a little steep. OK thank you 

We really enjoyed the stay here - the place is well designed, well conditioned, very clean and cozy. The hosts are more than you can expect: Ivy provided us with all instructions at the check-in and helped us out with additional requests like iron + ironing board and the tips for dinner and sightseeing. I personally liked the little fridge in our room and a wonderful common area with coffee, water and fresh fruit.

We got much more than a perfect accomodation from Engine rooms. They introduced us to a special face of Rieka with the loveable industrial design concept which cames from the history of the city. I n addition to the impressive interior design solutions, we received such warm hospitality that made the time spent here special. thank you very much!

Everything about this place was exceptional! Care and attention is put in every detail. Iva is simply an amazing host! Our favorite part was having breakfast on the terrace with such a beautiful view 😍 The city itself is welcoming, beautiful and everyone speaks Italian & English. No words can describe city’s delicious food, from pastry to sea food, everything is exceptional! I wish everyone can enjoy their stay as much as we did ✨

Apartments are located in a beautiful and calm neighborhood of Rijeka. Sea is 15 mins away. Apartments are furbished with a great style and are very comfortable. Additionally, the common kitchen is always filled with snacks, coffee, tea and many other goodies. We also got free croissants in the morning. A great touch!

All was excellent. If I must say something then it would be bigger towels.

First time I have given a 10. The property was excellent. Every detail meticulous. Good if you have mobility issues as no stairs. Parking on the road is not prohibited and is free. It is in the area of Tsat. Walkable to Castle and also to centre (about 20mins) Restaurants and bars nearby.

I had an amazing stay! Iva was very friendly and helpful; she was always happy to help. She's the best host ever! The room was perfect: very clean, spacious, nicely decorated, quiet, ... The breakfast was more that I could ask for; she even adjusted it to my preference. Coffee, water, tea, ... at your disposal all day long. Some 20 min. walk to the city center. Opposite a bus stop, very convenient! Good neighborhood: bakery, shops, running track, a good restaurant, ... close by. I will definitely stay here again!
