We enjoyed staying on this old ferry boat. It was comfortable for 3 of us in one room. Breakfast was good. Be aware of limited parking-May want to see if you can reserve parking spot ahead of time

Great location, with only few minutes walk to the main bus stop. Facilities just average. Breakfast could be better, in terms of freshness. Also, flies are around the food

The botel is a nice stay if you like the vibe of sleeping in a boat. Staff was nice and helpful. The overall standard is not great but it’s definitely okay.

This was a great place to stay. I enjoyed my stay thoroughly. The place is very clean and comfortable. It’s very close to the bus station and everything is in walking distance. The management was extremely kind when I had a medical emergency. They looked after me and helped me in going to the hospital emergency by taxi. Although I was fine after the doctor’s visit, the fact that the hotel staff helped me so much in feeling secure at a difficult time is highly commendable. I thank them all for that. If I go to Rijeka again, I’ll definitely stay at Botel Marina.

Good stay, worth the cost
Fair quality for the price. The staff was very nice and was able to correct a scheduling error I made. I really appreciated that.
It would be nice if they had a chair in the room instead of a tiny stool. I work while I travel and couldn't work comfortably from the room. Many (but not all) of the photos of my room type showed a chair, so I was expecting one.
And lastly, their check out time on Google is listed incorrectly. It's listed as 12pm there, so I was surprised when I got a knock on my door at 11:05 saying it's past checkout time. It is listed correctly on hotels.com, so that's partially my fault, but they should have it correct on every platform.
Overall, a good stay but room for improvement.

The hotel is incredibly noisy. You can hear EVERYTHING your neighbors are doing. The internet was also very unreliable which made it difficult to do my job. I also had to cover the window with blankets because the curtain didn’t completely block the light, so you had bright light on the ceiling that was glimmering from the water. I will not be staying in any botel after this. The breakfast was also just so-so.

Meget dejlig oplevelse
Fantastisk oplevelse at sove på en båd i havnen i Rijeka. Vi have en kahyt med koøje og kunne høre vandets klukken hele natten meget beroligende. Meget venligt personale ved indchecking, som lov os få kahytten, da den var rengjort en time før aftalt tid. Interessant nok, så var båden en gammel dansk færge "Kronprinsesse Ingrid" fra 1930'erne.

Original le concept hotel restaurant sur un bateau
Le parking n’est pas gratuit par contre tarif de nuit tarif de jour
The AC was way to small so the room was insanely hot, even though we had it on the lowest setting

Eine nette Idee ein altes Boot von ca 1935 zu einem Hotel umzubauen. Manchmal etwas laut, da man bei uns jeden Schritt über uns oder im Gang gehört hat. Die Lage ist sehr zentral und Parkmöglichkeit gut. Das Frühstück war etwas dürftig aber gerade noch akzeptabel.
