The centrally located, upper-middle-range Best Western Premier Hotel Astoria is within a five-minute walk of the main train station, and other transportation links. The 100 guest rooms are clean and spacious, and include free Wi-Fi free, flat-screen TVs, and minibars, and a hearty buffet breakfast is included in the room rate. The hotel, which dates from 1932, evokes old-world style, which some might find more dated than charming. Travelers seeking chicer and sleeker accommodations might want to check out the swanky Hotel 9 boutique property or the modern Arcotel Allegra, which has competitive rates and an on-site spa and wellness center.

The Sol Aurora is a 306-room, all-inclusive, mid-range resort hotel located on Croatia's Istrian coast, a couple of miles from the coastal city of Umag. Rooms are functional, with basic amenities and furnished balconies, but in need of a refresh. The quality food is a highlight, though the number of free drinks is limited. While there's little in the way of wow factor here, and parts of the resort are dated, Sol Aurora is a solid, family-focused hotel with kid-friendly amenities. Travelers without children in tow might want to check out the adult-only and more upscale Melia Coral.

Located in a tourist complex just north of Umag, Sol Stella Apartments is a value apartment hotel with a total of 527 one-bedroom apartments across three categories. All units feature balconies and sofa beds and most have kitchens complete with microwaves, but bathrooms run small and lack counter space. The resort is geared toward families, with lots of activities for kids of all ages, but do note that the kids' clubs are only open during peak season. There are also a few restaurants on the property (and at its nearby sister hotels) serving international and Croatian fare. Travelers without kids may want to consider something more oriented towards grownups, such as the nearby adults-only Melia Coral.
