Accommodation

Essential Information About Our Croatia Accommodation Listings

These are just a selection of the finest accommodation in Croatia. Please carefully check the map for all Croatia accommodation options, particularly in the Old Town areas. This will consequently ensure you book the right accommodation for your specific needs. Many Croatian towns and areas have similar names. Furthermore, not all Croatia accommodation is centrally located in the picturesque old town areas.

If you book Croatia accommodation inside a pedestrian zone (old town area), transfers cannot pick you up directly. Instead, you must meet them at a pre-arranged location outside the zone. This is especially important when selecting accommodation in Croatia’s historic centers.

Additionally, check carefully if you have mobility issues when booking your Croatia accommodation. Not all Croatian hotels have elevators to the higher floors. Moreover, porterage isn’t always guaranteed to be available. Also note that not all Croatia accommodation offers mini-bars or tea/coffee making facilities, so therefore check all amenities before you book your perfect Croatia accommodation.

Transportation Options for Your Croatia Accommodation

You can also book your own ferries and buses to get around Croatia cheaply and conveniently. Therefore, simply use the free information pages we have added to our site to complement your Croatia accommodation booking: https://discovercroatia.com.au/ferries/ and https://discovercroatia.com.au/getting-around-by-bus/.

This information about Croatia accommodation is for those travellers who need some advice, but do not wish to use our paid planning service or to book through us. Furthermore, please respect our time and help yourself to all the free information we have provided here about accommodation in Croatia. Thank you.
