Good, but not great

All and all, great stay. Front desk very friendly and helpful. My only complaint would be that some of the towels are very old and show strings sticking out and not replaced. Makes the place look bear up a bit.

Great place to stay for a visit to Plitvice NP

Hotel Degenija was great. Clean, comfortable, great service and perfect for a hotel close to the National Parks. The two restaurants are very good. There was a bit of an issue with hallway noise from other guests at a couple points. It was short lived, but noise protection could be a bit better.

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.

Great stay, really friendly staff that are always willing to help, comfy room and lovely hot tub. Food choices lacking a bit for vegetarians. Only down side was the construction work going on beside the pool area which was very noisy but the hotel is based in close proximity to the lake’s making it a great stop over point.

Clean, fine stay

Clean night stay before spending the day at Plitvice. Rather basic, but has everything you need. Better than I expected, but not 4 star quality in another location.
