This is the best place to stay if you are visiting Plitvice National Park . I had read some dodgy reviews so wasn't expecting much , but we were pleasantly surprised. It was clearly built in communist times and is a little bit dated, but the rooms are large, clean, have very good quality bedding, large bathrooms , new TV, big windows , free safe parking , substantial buffet breakfast included and your park ticket gets validated so you get 2 days to visit Plitvice for the price of one. We arrived in the afternoon at 3pm and went straight to the park and saw the lower lakes until 7pm. Then the next morning we had breakfast at 7am, checked out and were at the Upper Lakes by 7.45am .We left our luggage in our car but they have storage available. There is a path next to the hotel which leads down the hill about 200m to Entrance number 2 .A big surprise was the restaurant for dinner. It had very reasonable prices, excellent service, silver service, nice decor and delicious food. One of our best meals in Croatia.There is no kettle in the room but there is an urn where you can get hot water for a cup of tea - just bring your teabags.

To our surprise, we were upgraded to the junior suite, which was a very nice and quiet room with everything we could need, including electric kettle, coffee and tea, minibar and safe.The bed , in particular, was extremely comfortable. To our further surprise, the cost of our accommodation was 30% less than what was quoted by Booking as we were given a 30% off-season discount. The reception staff were kind and professional. Breakfast was good and abundant, as well as the dinner buffet at 22 euros each. Location is unbeatable and you also get free parking.

The shower is over the bath and this is an issue.

Breakfast was great. The staff was really accommodating and helpful. We were snowed in and stranded for another night. We were given a bigger room at a discounted rate. The staff drove us to the bus stop in the heavy snow and picked us up again when the bus did not show up. They helped us in getting a taxi to drive us to our next destination when the road was opened. We really appreciate all their help and hospitality. Would stay here again definitely.

Maybe get rid of the bathtub? It was quite difficult for my wife to get in and out of the shower with the bathtub. Other than that it was great.

Hotel Jezero was conveniently located next to entrance #2 of Plitvice National Park. If you are arriving by bus, it drops you at entrance 1 where there is a ranger station with folks to answer any questions. They call the hotel, and a driver quickly comes to pick you up at no charge. If arriving by car, you can park in front of the hotel. Only a 2 minute walk from the hotel to the ticket and information offices for Plitvice, then you are set to see the beautiful waterfalls. The room was fine. Nothing fancy, but has everything one needs. The gym did not appear to be open, and the machines looked old. This is not a luxury hotel, if that is what you are looking for, but nice accommodation all the same. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast had a huge variety.

There were loud guests in the room below mine who sat outside in the cold to smoke until 3am, allowing their loud conversation to be heard, which made it difficult to sleep. When I called the desk after asking them to go inside myself, the management asked again. All was then quiet. The management was efficient and went out of their way for guests.

Hotel Jezero is ideal for a trip to Plitvice Lakes. We booked a superior lakeside room to treat ourselves, and had a beautiful view out over the mountains. You can’t see the lakes from here but would still definitely recommend, it really made our stay special to have a balcony. Buffet breakfast and dinner were good, and it was a lovely perk to have the whirlpool, steam room and sauna available too. It is just a 2 minute walk to entrance 2 of the lakes, and you can also get a shuttle train from entrance 2 to entrance 1 if you want to start your walk from there. The staff were very helpful with all our queries, there was a luggage storage facility and they even arranged for a driver to take us to the bus stop free of charge when we left, which we were very grateful for. All in all, we loved our visit to the lakes and staying at Hotel Jezero made everything so convenient.

I read many negative reviews about this hotel but when I did really stay here it was not that bad at all. It was good and above my expectations, the best services of free shuttle to pick up or drop the guests off at bus station, the hospitality and helpful of staff, clean room, strong WiFi and good breakfast. The breakfast room is big and it accommodated large amounts of guest(tour groups)with no problems during my two days staying here. The best location just few minutes walk to entrance 2 and free shuttle to entrance 1 also right there. If I compare this hotel with many national parks that I used to stay ( more than 7), this is good hotel and already luxurious for national park hotel standards.

For national park hotel I satisfied with everything.

close to the entrance

should provide pick up from the bus drop of point

Literally inside the park. After a busy day at the park its quite comforting to stay nearby. Excellent complimentatry breakfast buffet. Good buffet options for dinner at 22euros per person. Lunch is only ala carte. We didnot like the salad that much and found it to be a bit expensive. I would suggest the buffet for breakfast and dinner but ofcourse you don't have any other option for lunch. ATM, convenience store available in the same building.

No air conditioning..It can get a bit uncomfortably during summer in croatia. The drinks in the mini bar in the room is not complimentary they will charge for it during checkout.

Fantastic location by the quieter entrance to Plitvice Lakes (although 250 steps down to the entrance). Very helpful staff, good facilities, large car park. Good breakfast spread, but orange squash not juice and poor coffee.

I paid quite a bit extra for a lakeside room - there is no view of the lakes due to tall trees around the property. Hotel staff did not tell me that, according to the National Park website, when I bought an entry ticket they could extend it for free for subsequent days so I ended up paying every day for my 3 day visit.

It was a short walk down to the park entrance and ticket office. The staff was super efficient, friendly, and patient with the guests. The rooms and beds were comfortable, especially if you remember to pull the drapes to block the sun during the day. They have a driver to take you to the nearby restaurant. The included breakfast buffet is pretty impressive .

Really nothing to complain about other than parts of the hotel being closed on Fridays. The coffee/hot chocolate machine needs to be updated. Nothing from that machine tasted good.
