Guide
Hotel Bellevue is a park-owned, two-star garni hotel beside Hotel Plitvice, a few steps from the Entrance 2 visitor area. Built in 1963, it has 74 accommodation units. Its main draw is practical: you are close to the park's main visitor zone.
The hotel was designed in earthy colors with a wood-covered facade, and the park describes trees overhanging its roof. Its listed rooms face a meadow, treetops and the lake, with lake-side rooms among the options.
Older guest accounts most often praise the short walk to Entrance 2. Comments on the rooms are mixed, with several describing them as dated and saying noise carries between rooms. Those reports date from 2016 to 2024, so treat them as a record of past stays, not a current room inspection.
