Hotel Excelsior - Liburnia

Location of the property is fantastic, close to the beach and beautiful Lungomare walkway as well as lovely town center, shops and restaurants. Unfortunately, beaches in Lovran are terrible so we had to drive to Medveja every day. Although hotel is old and built in communist style, it's interior is refurbished and it's actually very nice and modern which couldn't be said for the exterior, especially the pool. There is a lot of other amenities, we especially liked kids play area and the girl working there - she was very enthusiastic, just perfect with kids. Rooms are nice, spacious, clean and modern. Bathroom and balcony were not refurbished to the same standard unfortunately. Restaurant is very nice and spacious with large selection of food for breakfast and dinner. Food quality is satisfying, but could be better. Staff is very polite and hard working and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. We didn't use their parking because I read bad reviews about it, but there is a lot of free parking near the hotel so it wasn't a problem at all. We had a lovely stay for more than a reasonable price, definitely recommendable.

Great location and love the amenities, we enjoyed the indoor swimming on really hot afternoons with our kids. The children’s club is also a main reason for our return each year. They kids club staff are multi lingual and put in an amazing effort and our kids love being there. I personally enjoyed the odd game or competition held between guests. Thank you Remi kids club for making our holidays great.

Many parts of hotel are tired and outside needs maintainance, carpet in room well worn. Redeeming feature was a very nice spa area with saunas, indoor pool and relaxing cool room. Note to self is to avoid hotels that allow dogs and/or offer full or half board. Always full of family groups in budget all in one packages. Not happy that I travelled from other side of world, hired a car to explore area for two months and then get charged for parking. Told them if they come and visit me in Australia, they can park for free. Lots of extra charges - in room info sheets were all about charges and rules.
