Hotel Neboder — Hotel in Grad Rijeka

All I can say is that they had a REALLY good photographer in charge of taking the website photos.

We went to Rijeka solely for the concert at Pogon Kulture and wanted to book a hotel closest to it - this one being literally 50m away. With the benefit of a hindsight, it might not have been the brightest idea we had that day, and we really should have read some reviews before booking it. ;)

Upon entering, there was a slight whiff of old moist wood near the reception, but I let it slide by as it was a rainy day, and I thought I was imagining things. Another sign I chose to ignore were six clocks above the reception, displaying various time zones and literally none of them working, with just a second hand ticking in one place ever so slightly. After being handed the key on a keychain of the size and weight of a GMO modified carrot, we stepped into an industrially looking elevator. By any stretch of imagination, I am not talking about modern industrial design - it was a kind of an elevator you'd expect to see in a factory underground warehouse storage. The entire look-and-feel is a very 1984 ex-Yugoslavia with no money whatsoever spent on upkeep and maintenance in the meantime.

The room door on the fifth floor were wonky, you had to push it in order to be able to turn the key and unlock it, and it provided no more soundproofing than a curtain would (similar to the windows). One of the lights in the room wasn't working, the TV set was a tad bit bigger than a laptop display and it was cold as hell once we entered the room. On the bright side, the room was so small that the AC managed to heat it up rather quickly once it started heating after blowing cold air for about 10 minutes. The bathroom was actually a narrow hallway created by building a wall through the entire length of the room (but leaving 5cm of free space once it reached windows), and it gave a proper feeling of an abatoir with a full set of oldschool white glossy tiles put everywhere but the ceiling. Despite the room being advertised as an antiallergic one, my throat and nose started itching once I put my head to the pillow. It could have just been a coincidence, although I somehow doubt it. ;)

We didn't even make it to the breakfast as we received a message from the pair we travelled with, strongly advising us to pack and search food somewhere else. They went down to breakfast only to find nearly cold eggs, hideous coffee and literally two types of salami - one of which obviously went bad but was served on the table nevertheless.

If I were to try and find anything positive, it would be a relatively clean abatoir bathroom, a garage (albeit without a reservation option so you have to hope there will be a space available for you) and the immediate vicinity of a concert venue as the sole reason for us even considering the hotel. Oh, apart from that, it was waaaaay overpriced with all of the above premium comodities being offered at a mere 112,50€ price tag.

So, in short, you'd probably be better off by simply putting your seat down and catching some shuteye...

Looks older from outside, pretty good once inside.|Very tiny room but clean. The bed was very small I offer to pay for an upgraded but I was told there are no vacancies. Which was not entirely true when I checked out early morning, there room accreoa mine was open, and empty. I took a peak andx and a picture. See attached, that is what it should have looked like. The pictures pictures on the booking sites are probably taken with a wide lens, it makes everything look bigger and wider. Good trick. ||Shower was another problem, no pressure and the wall shower head holder was so way high up on the wall. Not an issue for me to reach up to it but an average person will never get to it. My issue was that it was broken so I had to use one hand shower routine which I hate.|Why don't they check ands repair these ahead of time? ||Parking free in front of the hotel, location is prime 10 minutes walking to the core and breakfast was good. I asked for fried eggs, only scrambled at the buffet, they made it for me. |The shower ands the size of the room and bed got the stars...

I was here for a night with a friend, the hotel itself was not bad. But the reason the rating is low is due to a member of staff, we came back to the hotel to collect our suitcases, which was behind the counter. We were waiting, not sure if he was going to bring it out, he then said to us “go on then.” ||||I also had a really bad cold and needed tissue, I couldn’t see him anywhere to ask him for some, so went to get some myself as there was a massive roll of tissue, he appeared and shouted at me saying “you are not allowed in here”I got scared and said sorry, he then said “ well go on then”, to rip the tissue, I didn’t do it quick enough, so he ripped it for me in a passive aggressive manner and muttered something under his breath. I am a frequent traveller, and I have never met a employee that is so so rude. I am writing this review in hope management will speak to him. I don’t know his name, but he was working on Tuesday, the 24th of August at...
