This hotel is set in the heart Croatia's capital city of Zagreb, near top sights like the Zagreb Botanical Garden and Zrinjevac Park. The Esplanade Zagreb Hotel originally opened in 1925 as a refuge for those traveling on the Orient Express. But today, it's a popular refuge for celebrities, politicians and more.

The hotel's 208 rooms and suites come with complimentary internet access; beds with goose-down pillows and duvets; and marble bathrooms with heated mirrors and floors.

However, a few commented they thought the hotel was missing that little something extra that really characterizes five-star properties.

Travelers report being in a trance while staying at the Villa Dubrovnik. This is largely due to the hotel's exceptionally scenic location. Villa Dubrovnik lies right on the edge of the Adriatic Sea, tucked between two coastal cliffs about 3 miles southeast of the city center. From just about every point of the property, guests are treated to views of the sea, Dubrovnik's medieval Old Town and the nearby leafy Lokrum Island. All rooms offers vistas of the water and come equipped with a balcony, a feature guests couldn't help but gush over. Travelers say if you are looking to treat yourself, upgrade to a room that has a Jacuzzi on the balcony. Accommodations also come outfitted with flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi access, though the most impressive amenities can be found outside of the rooms. The hotel's offerings include a fitness center, an indoor swimming pool, a private beach and a seasonal, Venetian-style vaporetto boat that takes guests into Old Town. However, former lodgers said if you should do anything on-site, it's eat. The Restaurant Pjerin receives high marks for its delectable Mediterranean menu. The cherry on top of this world-class experience for travelers was the staff, who many guests say are experts at hospitality and really know how to make a stay memorable. But with all the property's amazing offerings, Villa Dubrovnik's room rates will cost you a pretty penny.

Recent guests say this Croatian hotel has a lot going for it. The first – and most memorable part for many guests – is Hotel More's idyllic location right on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Travelers say the views from the hotel are unforgettable, especially come sunset. As such, booking an ocean view room here is essential to the overall experience (guests also warn the garden view rooms don't actually face a garden). Rooms and suites here help induce relaxation with comfortable amenities like LCD TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi access, bathrobes and slippers, minibars and bathrooms with whirlpool baths (a guest favorite) or hydro-massage showers. Guests were also pleased with the quality facilities on-site. Travelers enjoyed both the waterfront setting and fare found at Restaurant More, which serves Croatian and Mediterranean cuisine.
