Great location, very friendly staff specially in restaurant. We had small issues but front desk resolved it very fast in our advantage.

We booked hotel Istra but end up in hotel Neptun. Maybe for the first time ever I didn’t read any reviews, so just when we arrived have realized that Istra in on the right side and Neptun on the left and it’s one facility. Anyway, it was too hot, and we get room on the corner of building so we ask to change room. Then receptionist explain that Neptun is recently renovated and on our request she found room for us. It was such beautiful superior double room with sea view, very spacious, cozy, and we really enjoy it. Didn’t pass so much time inside except for sleep but still. Food in the restaurant was really delicious, luckily, because there are only two restaurants on the island. No shop except souvenirs shop so if you are to cycle or walk to explore island, bear in mind to bring enough big bottles for water, at least 2, after you can refill it with pipe water or you can use boat to buy what you need in Fazana. 1 return ticket daily is included in hotel price. Staff, not only in hotel but everywhere on island is super kind, helpful, and very professional.

Food is always poor and nothing has been done about it for years. For a short stay it is ok, you can always choose something to survive, but I cannot imagine staying for more than 3 days on that.

Location, clean and spatious room

Check out is too early (10am). Hotel is a bit outdated, some areas need renovation.

Great location right by the sea, spacious rooms, comfy bed.

Breakfast - one of the worst I have ever had (4 and 5-star hotels) and it is the same every year. Keep in mind I spend >100 days in hotels every year around the globe.

Location. We come to Brijuni everyear despite the terrible outdated facilities and generally subpar staff experience.

We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is super cute with this old charm building and furniture, hotel stuff is very kind and helpfull. The food in the hotel is great and everythiny was very clean. And the location of the hotel is perfect, just by the dock, very near the beach and with a great view. We'll come again for sure. 😊

The room was comfortable, but the interior is little tired and could use a touch-up.

The location is exceptional! Parking and getting around as navigated by the hotel staff, worked perfectly! Breakfast was very good and the staff was very frindly.

The location of the hotel is great, in the middle of a national park Brijuni.

Smelly towels, bad cleaning, unpolite staff (like in the whole of Croatia)

The location. The island is the paradise.

The staff at the hotel restaurant

The food was better than prevoius years.

Air-conditioning not working well in all therooms or in all areas.

Excellent location on one of the best islands there is!

There is nothing to not Like.

Beautiful place. We are here second year with family. The staff is excellent and very friendly. Very good breakfast and dinner. Kids love it.

All in all, I believe it is a reasonable price for what you get in return. It is truly a special place and going there is such a wonderful experience. Even the outdated areas give it a special charm!

Well, although the facilities are a bit outdated, the stay at the Istra hotel was quite comfortable and had that nostalgic touch. The location and the islands are stunning per se, so it makes the stay quite memorable and special. The breakfast is ok, but really enjoyed our dinner at the Galija restaurant. The food was good, but the staff was excellent! Big thanks to Franjo there for taking such a good care of us!

For the price food selection was really basic and bad, it was gone immidiately when they brought it. Rooms are old (we had superior room, it still is outdated but this year there is kettle with two cups in room). Prices are high. Golf cart is 200e for one day. We probably wont return next year. Women working in restaurant and housecare are friendly, men not so much.

Peaceful, great location, clean rooms

Everything was great and beutiful.

Location.

Stayed in July 2023

The AC might be improved as well as transportation from Fasana to the island (last boat comes back at 22h which seems a bit early). Also, souvenir shop needs improvement - it was not possible to buy Paul Kupelwieser's memoirs, which is very strange given his contribution to the archipel. Finally, certainly parts of the island need to be maintained a bit better and with more vigour - animal conditions (especially safari animals), roads, bicycles, etc.

The hotel has the perfect location providing a maximum privacy and calm that you can get in today's world of massive tourism. Saluga beach is only 10 minutes away by foot and there are not many people there during the day. Even though the hotel looks old, it is very clean and taken care of by the staff. The AC might not work the best in the room, but you get used to it very fast. There are two restaurants, one that serves breakfast and dinner as part of half/full board, and the other one that is à la carte, and that has very kind staff and hight quality food - special compliments go to the staff preparing homemade sweets. Make sure that you visit the permanent exhibition that is in the building next to the hotel Karmen. This exhibition is about Brioni's very particular history, which is essential for understanding the importance of this place. Finally, staying at the hotel on the island gives a unique opportunity to enjoy beautiful nature and observe animals all along your holidays :)

Noise from the next room

Excellent staff, they are really nice everywhere - on the reception, at the restaurant, at the beach bar :) Beautiful location without crowds of people. Very nice room vith sea view, private parking.

Wonderful staff, as always

Nothing to complain about

Personally, the best place in Croatia you can visit. Untouched nature, no cars, not crowded (except around hotel), feels more like Africa then Europe with its big green fields with zebras and peacocks. Golf cars or bikes are a must to explore the island. Round of island is rougly 13km, everyone can find a perfect spot to enjoy. Will be coming next year also.

This is THE way to experience Brijuni. Staying at the hotels on the island gives the entire experience a huge boost.

Great location, beautiful nature. Food is simple but tasty and delicious.

Stayed in May 2023

Overall, the hotel needs some refurbishment (not our room!)… Brioni is nice but there is not much to do…

Big room, probably the biggest ever! I do not know about other rooms but this one (109) was roughly at about 40 m2… Wonderful view to the sea. Comfortable bed. Great bathroom. Everything very clean. Food was good, solid but not extraordinary… Excellent connection with the mainland (Fazana, 15 minutes by boat), safe parking in Fazana where one leaves the car.
