Great location close to everything you need in Rijeka. We got a lovely spacious room for three people and loved the atmosphere on the boat. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
Excellent location, kind and professional staff, and a unique experience to stay in a botel. Rooms are recently renovated and are well sorted.

rooms are quite basic but ok, it is the public areas of this old ship that makes it charming and great together with very service minded staff

We enjoyed staying on this old ferry boat. It was comfortable for 3 of us in one room. Breakfast was good. Be aware of limited parking-May want to see if you can reserve parking spot ahead of time
It was an totally cool stay! I understand what people say when they say it is noisy, but, really, its an old boat, what would you expect? I slept with earplugs and had no issues! Lovely staff, they packed me a to do bag in the morning because I was missing breakfast. Would stay again!
For a one of a kind experience, I highly recommend a stay at the Botel Marina. The room was cozy with lots of storage for longer stays and a private bathroom, so do not write this location off if you think you have to share bathrooms. Breakfast and dinner were available aboard ship. This was a truly fun experience and a great option for staying on the water without spending a ton of money. An evening walk around the marina made for a great close to a long travel day and watching the yachts prepare early the next morning was refreshing while waiting for sunrise.

The botel is a nice stay if you like the vibe of sleeping in a boat. Staff was nice and helpful. The overall standard is not great but it’s definitely okay.
great location, easy to walk from airport transfer bus, funny place, nice view from the front balcony, perfect for 3 nights. pretty warm during the night, even with aircon 24/7. Room could be a bit cleaner, but liked it anyway!
This was a great place to stay. I enjoyed my stay thoroughly. The place is very clean and comfortable. It’s very close to the bus station and everything is in walking distance. The management was extremely kind when I had a medical emergency. They looked after me and helped me in going to the hospital emergency by taxi. Although I was fine after the doctor’s visit, the fact that the hotel staff helped me so much in feeling secure at a difficult time is highly commendable. I thank them all for that. If I go to Rijeka again, I’ll definitely stay at Botel Marina.
Fair quality for the price. The staff was very nice and was able to correct a scheduling error I made. I really appreciated that.
It would be nice if they had a chair in the room instead of a tiny stool. I work while I travel and couldn't work comfortably from the room. Many (but not all) of the photos of my room type showed a chair, so I was expecting one.
And lastly, their check out time on Google is listed incorrectly. It's listed as 12pm there, so I was surprised when I got a knock on my door at 11:05 saying it's past checkout time. It is listed correctly on hotels.com, so that's partially my fault, but they should have it correct on every platform.
Overall, a good stay but room for improvement.
Staff in reception was very pleasant and polite, and the hotel is located very close to the city center in Rijeka. There was aircon in the room, but generally the hotel was fairly worn down. The walls were very thin and you could easily hear other guests. I would not recommend it for families. The breakfast buffet was bad.

Great location, with only few minutes walk to the main bus stop. Facilities just average. Breakfast could be better, in terms of freshness. Also, flies are around the food

You get what you pay for. It was cheap, and that's what we wanted.
Something unique spending a night on a boat, however; the steps attached to side of the boat did make alot of noise at night.

AC
The AC was way to small so the room was insanely hot, even though we had it on the lowest setting

The hotel is incredibly noisy. You can hear EVERYTHING your neighbors are doing. The internet was also very unreliable which made it difficult to do my job. I also had to cover the window with blankets because the curtain didn’t completely block the light, so you had bright light on the ceiling that was glimmering from the water. I will not be staying in any botel after this. The breakfast was also just so-so.
Il Botel si trova vicinissimo al centro di Fiume, praticamente da lì in pochissimo tempo si riesce a visitare tutto il centro città e il castello di Trsat facilmente raggiungibile tramite bus direttamente dalla fermata di fronte alla barca.
Lo staff è stato gentile e disponibile nei nostri confronti.
La camera era buona, tranquilla e comoda.
La colazione aveva ampia scelta sia sul salato che sul dolce,molto valida.
