Hotel Materra
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want the best-reviewed hotel in our Osijek sample, with a spa, a pool and a standout breakfast, and you have a car or are happy to use taxis. Skip it if you want to walk to the cathedral and museums, because the centre is more than 10 km away.

Hotel Materra is for travellers who treat the hotel as part of the trip. Think couples on a short break who want a spa, a gym, a pool, a garden and a terrace, all listed by the property. Family rooms are listed too.
It suits drivers best. Free parking is on the facilities list, and you will need transport to reach the city.
Skip it if you want to step out into the old town for dinner or a museum. Everything in our data is a long way off on foot. It also costs about three times the local median price, so it is a treat, not a default.
Location and getting around
The address is Ovčara 5, outside the city centre. The three sights in our data are all far. The Croatian National Theatre in Osijek is about 10.5 km away, which would be over two hours on foot as a straight-line estimate. Osijek Co-cathedral is about 10.6 km, and the Osijek Archaeological Museum about 11.8 km.
So, plainly: you will need a car, public transport or a taxi for any visit to the centre. Ask the hotel about getting into town before you arrive.
Guests still rate the location 9.5, which suggests the setting itself is part of the appeal for those who choose it.
What guests say
This is the top-rated hotel in our sample, at 9.8 out of 10 from 1,462 reviews. Guests praise a friendly, professional and helpful team that gives a warm welcome.
Breakfast gets special mention: a varied buffet with high-quality local products and fresh eggs cooked to order.
The one recurring complaint concerns the pool. It has a stainless steel design and guests mention views, but the water can be cold and sunbeds are scarce. In November, check whether the pool is open and heated.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults, one room) was €288.68 per night, about €577 for both nights. The sample median was €96.00 per night, so this is roughly three times the typical rate. These are reference prices, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Hotel Osijek, was €205.65 per night with a score of 9.4. Our Budget pick, Hotel Lug, was €88.58 with a score of 8.7.
The premium buys the highest guest score in the sample and a fuller set of leisure facilities. If you mainly want to explore the city on foot, one of the other two picks will likely suit you better.
Why it made our top 3
