Find the Cheap Oroslavje Hotels

The location is next to the ski resort in Medvednica National Park, about 20 km away from the center of Zagreb and the road was winding, so it was a bit difficult. It was nice to receive it and the air is the best because it is on the top of the mountain. I couldn't use the sauna because I didn't have time, but I healed from the balcony in the forest for free parking.

It's hard to write an honest review of this hotel because there's not really any fault with it in itself... BUT... it is VERY remote right at the top of a mountain about 10 miles outside of the city and it takes at least an hour to get back and forth along a very narrow winding road so, if like us, you were thinking of staying here and popping back and forth, think again. The hotel is really a ski hotel and geared mainly to accommodate the small ski resort nearby therfore the season it caters for is winter. This wasn't clear at the time of booking so when we arrived at the end of the summer (September) the pool was closed for cleaning, there was no drinking water due to seasonal maintenence and other services closed or limited etc. Having booked to stay the week we cancelled our booking and only stayed the one night. Bottom line is it's a nice, clean hotel and the staff were all very friendly but it wasn't what we we're led to believe at the time of booking, hence writing this review in the hope that it stops other travellers being misled.

We were very disappointed with our stay. After check in we wanted to use the loving swimming pool, but this is only open at the weekend. Two months ago we had booked the rooms with a table in the connected restaurant Academy including the 7-Gang Degustation menu. We took place in the restaurant and the server told us there was no degustation menu. Since the disappointment was great and there was no alternative, we finally changed the local. The behaviour was very unprofessional, since we had repeatedly stressed that we wished this menu. The staff was very embarrassing, but could not save the situation now.

This is a wonderful family owned hotel that we would absolutely stay at again (I believe it has been owned by the same family for almost 200 years). We stayed in the Elizabeta Room. Our room was spacious and clean. The room had a historic feel with the decor, but it was still modern and comfortable. There was a nice sitting area in the room with chairs, a couch, desk and coffee table. The bathroom was also spacious with a nice deep soaking tub. The staff was wonderful. Everyone was friendly and we had no difficulties communicating in English with them. Breakfast had a variety of options to fill us up to start the day. The hotel itself is beautiful with historic pictures and items throughout all of the common areas. Their family owned restaurant is right across the street which was delicious and convenient. One night we went to the front desk and asked if it was okay for us to get our dinner for carry-out. The man at the front desk gave us a menu, asked what we wanted, and then delivered the food to our room when it was ready which was a nice surprise. We had expected to go over and order for ourselves and carry it back ourselves so the extra customer service was really nice. Note that it's not in the historic center of Zagreb so you'll need to drive if that's where you'll be heading each day. We had a car so this wasn't a problem for us. It was only about a 5 minute drive. They had a parking lot for guests which was nice and convenient. We loved our stay and would definitely stay here again.
