Rooms at the Istra

Hi

We have just booked the Istra for August. We like a good nights sleep and a pretty view. Are there any particular rooms/areas of the hotel we should avoid? Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi,

The quietest rooms are the ones overlooking the main entrance which is where the ferry stops and the entrance to Wellness Otok, the spa.

The other side of the hotel is overlooking the pool area and bars so would expect a little noise on that side of the hotel, especially as the outdoor entertainment in the summer is in that vicinity.

Hope this helps and I%26#39;m sure you will love Red Island and the Hotel Istra!

Hi

My partner and I visited the Hotel Istra in June and fell in love with it all . It is such a beautiful location and the hotel was great. As the hotel is built lengthways there are sea views form every side I believe and they are stunning . Where else do you get such wonderfull views without having to pay for a sea view . We would go back there any time and although it was early in the season when we went I don%26#39;t think it should be too bad when it gets busier .Enjoy it . We are envious.

We have now been now and it is lovely though in August very, very busy so not very relaxing. The pool areas were absolutely packed out and the island was heaving with trippers coming in on the boats. We were first given a room on the top floor overlooking scrubland and the tennis court area - so not all rooms have sea views. We had been promised a sea view so moved to a room overlooking Rovinj at the back. Almost all the 3 bedded rooms are at the back of the hotel not the pool side. The third bed is a fold down chair about 2.5 feet wide and rock hard so not good for an adult. The live evening entertainment is also at the back of the hotel at the Captain%26#39;s club though once the windows were closed it could hardly be heard. I hope some people will find this useful.
