It was conveniently located to the Lake Plitvice Park entrances. The restaurant was cozy and had a good hearty menu and the hotel and a nice breakfast. The hotel did my small ball cruise laundry for a minimal charge within the same day. Very charming place.

The hotel was very nice, the rooms were recently redone with quality materials. Pool area is nice but they are expanding the hotel and construction is just next to the pool but it did not bother us really. The only downside is the price for breakfast which is 15 euros per person when you are a family and not much options around as alternatives. Would recommend this stay

L’Hôtel Degenija est idéalement situé près du PN Plitvice. La piscine est très bien entretenue et le cadre est agréable. Le restaurant Plum est une belle découverte et on y a très bien mangé. Bon petit déjeuner aussi.

This property is beautiful inside and out. It has all of the modern conveniences, spacious rooms and comfortable beds. The outside amenities are incredible-beautiful pool, clay tennis courts, outside gym with a few weights and the scenery is lovely. The staff could not have been nicer. Very welcoming and comfortable place. Should have stayed longer!

We stayed here for one night while visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park, having rented a car and driven from Zagreb. Excellent location, immaculately clean property and very comfortable room and bed. Reception gave us excellent tips for visiting the park, and check in was fast and efficient. Good parking and the hotel is a 5 minute drive from Entrance 1 to the park. We ate at their restaurant and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We would highly recommend!!!!!!

This hotel completely blew away my expectations. Normally when I stay in or near a national park, the hotels are fairly rustic and basic. This hotel has everything you could want for an extended relaxing stay. The restaurants are both excellent. I did not expect to have a fine dining experience in such a small place, but that's just what it was. The casual restaurant served excellent food as well. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with great air conditioning. The bathrooms were on the smaller side but by European standards very comfortable and clean. I could have stayed a week!

The restaurant that is part of the hotel has limited menu, but there is a restaurant by the same name right next door and it was just fantastic. Highly recommend this property.

The property was clean and the food was good. There is a huge construction happening around the property and many rooms overlook this building work and the pool overlooks this property extension!! The staff are rude and the manager was the rudest man I have ever come across. He shouted at us as we complained that our water at dinner had taken 35 minutes to arrive. We were scared of him and couldn’t wait to leave the hotel!!!
