Croatia Travel Guide - Accommodation

Ongoing investment in Croatia's hotel stock is seeing the standard in accommodation increase across the board, with good 4-star hotels available along the coast and inland. 5-star properties are still predominantly found in Zagreb and in popular coastal resorts like Dubrovnik. 

Grading: Hotels in Croatia are officially graded by the Ministry of Tourism into five categories according to the standard of accommodation: 5-star: Luxury. 4-star: Deluxe. 3-star: First class. 2-star: Moderate. 1-star: Basic and budget. For a list of classified hotels, visit the tourist board website (www.croatia.hr).

There are around 150 campsites in Croatia, including some naturist camps. Contact the Croatian Camping Union (see Accommodation Information below) or visit links from the tourist board website (www.croatia.hr).

Private accommodation is widely available in Croatia and can be arranged through local tourist agencies. In high season many places request a minimum of three nights stay or levy a hefty surcharge (around 30%) for shorter stays.

Plovput arranges weeklong stays in remote lighthouses (see Accommodation Information below).

The Croatian Youth Hostel Association runs IYHA-affiliated hostels in Zagreb, Pula, Zadar, Dubrovnik, Veli Losinj, Krk and Punat.
