Hotel Delfin
Sea views 400 metres from the marina
About this hotel
Rovinj Marina is 400 m from Hotel Delfin, close enough that the terrace restaurant looks out over the boats rather than a car park, and the hotel keeps a bar going alongside it for evenings that don't need to end with dinner. Rooms carry a flat-screen TV with cable and an iPad on request, some with a seating area and a terrace or balcony of their own, all with a private bathroom stocked with bathrobes and slippers. Carera Street, Rovinj's old pedestrian spine, is 400 m away and the Rovinj Heritage Museum a further hundred metres beyond that, so the walk into the historic centre barely counts as one. Parking is available on site for anyone arriving by car from Pula, 30 km south.

Our take
This works for travellers who want the marina view without booking a five-star budget, with the old town close enough to reach on foot in minutes. The terrace restaurant is a genuine plus for anyone who'd rather eat looking at boats than a street. Guests chasing a pool or a spa should look toward the newer beachfront properties instead, since Delfin keeps its focus on the marina and the walk into town.
- ✓Request a terrace or balcony room specifically, standard rooms don't all face the marina
- ✓Eat at the hotel restaurant at least once for the marina view at dinner
- ✓Walk to Carera Street rather than driving, parking there is tight regardless
Why we love it
- 400-metre walk to Rovinj Marina
- Terrace restaurant over the water
- iPad on request in rooms
- Heritage Museum a five-minute walk
Why guests love itThe marina view earns its keep here, especially from a terrace-facing room where the boats are the last thing seen at night and the first in the morning. Dinner at the hotel restaurant beats searching for a table in the old town on a busy evening, and the walk to Carera Street is short enough to do twice a day without a second thought. Rooms lean functional over stylish, which suits travellers prioritising the location over the decor.
