Hostel Kvarner is located in the centre of Rijeka, about 250 metres from the Korzo promenade. All units are air-conditioned and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Certain units feature a seating area to relax in after a busy day. A terrace or balcony are featured in certain rooms. All rooms are equipped with a private bathroom, while guests staying in dormitories have shared bathrooms at their disposal. The property also offers a shared kitchen.

It feels like you are being welcomed to a friend's house! Bogdan (I hope I spell it correctly) is really nice and attentive. He maintains the whole place really well and is always asking if everything is great. The location is perfect, especially if you need to catch an early bus. The walk to the beaches is not at all too far (note, the hostel is not next to the beach), and is a beautiful walk along the coast. Very satisfied with the stay and would definitely repeat when work allows!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location in Rijeka’s old part of the city, with Cafe’s out the front door. The apartment was excellent, clean, and well equiped. Good bathroom and comfortable bed. The host was ver helpful and check-in was easy. Very close to an underground public car park plus other cheaper public car park options. Highly recommend the apartment.

    We ended up here quite by accident, as a two night get away from inadvertently booking ourselves into a grim youth hostel in Zagreb. Trying desperately to make the best of a bad situation, we booked this on a whim. This is a beautiful building in a great location. The owner is knowledgeable, attentive, responsive and helpful. The apartment is tastefully furnished with everything you could want. The air conditioning was delicious to come back to after a hot day of exploring. It was perfect for the couple of days of respite we needed.

    Great place to stay in as a backpacker. very simple, small rooms but enough for a night or a few nights stay. the receptionists were very kind and helpful. breakfast is included which makes the whole value for price worth it. the room has a bed, desk, fan and small sink and mirror. just down the hall were the toilets and showers. very clean and well maintained. felt comfortable and safe. many young people staying here which makes it also a nice atmosphere. bed was already made, and the property provided two towels.
