Everything was perfect. Conveniently located to the Plitvice lakša, which is the main attraction in the area. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms perfectly clean and comfortable. 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 hotel and staff were great. We went in March so there weren't many amenities open. We were told that the Barac caves were open, we drove to the location and it didn't open for another two weeks. It was really dissappointing.
