Bovec, Slovenia Hotel Dobra Vila (Good Fairy in English) is a charming boutique hotel located in a fantastic setting with stunning views, just on the southeastern edge of Bovec. It is housed in a historic building (the hotel was a telegraph office in Austro-Hungarian times), beautifully restored in Art Deco style. The hotel is exquisite, from its charming exterior, to its stylish rooms, to its clean, open, high-ceilinged spaces. The attention to detail is impeccable! The rooms are large with comfortable beds and plenty of amenities, very well decorated and all the little boutique touches are there. Each room has its own style and it's interesting that room numbers aren't based on floors but rather are seemingly random and related to nearby geographic features like the height of the nearby waterfall. The breakfast is delicious with many choices - cold meats, cheeses, lovely pastries and eggs cooked to your liking. It is served on the wonderful patio, also with that fantastic view. At dinner, a tasty set menu is offered with matching wines for each course. If in the Bovec area and not staying here, make an effort to eat here regardless. Well worth it. The wine list is fairly small, but superbly chosen. The staff are very friendly and always cheerful. They could not be more helpful. There's a wonderful garden with a little brook and chairs. The free Wi-Fi is fast and works excellent throughout the hotel. In summary, this is a gem of a hotel, spotlessly clean, in a great location, overlooking the river, with spacious rooms, outstanding food and attentive staff who pay great attention to detail and to their guests.

Bovec, Slovenia Hotel Mangart is a newly built modern Alpine hotel located just outside the town of Bovec. It doesn't look very impressive from the outside, although it's quite new and in great shape. The location is wonderful, very quiet and beautiful but within a short stroll of centre of Bovec, and close to a small supermarket, and far enough away from other buildings to have excellent views of the mountains. The hotel is also quiet so its a very good place to rest. The rooms are very clean, beds and sheets are very comfortable. The rooms at the back of the hotel are quiet, away from the road and have fantastic mountain views. Also, try to get a room, which is not on the first floor, as these rooms are right next to the parking lot. The bathrooms are quite large and very clean. Water pressure in the shower is good and heating is well maintained. Toiletries are provided and ample towels. Breakfast is good rather than amazing but there is plenty of lovely bread and mini croissant and fresh fruit. Coffee is from a machine but is fine. The dinners are nice, could be better, but there are still lots of choices for meals with the chance to try all sorts of local treats. Nice patio area outside with small bar with reasonable prices, comfortable chairs and a small plunge pool, not suitable for swimming but refreshing after a day's walking in the area. Where the hotel excels is in the staff. They are all delightful and happy to help in any way. They are always cheerful and speak English very well. There's also a small spa with massage service. The free Wi-Fi is available in all areas and rooms. The parking is free, with ample spaces available. All in all, a good value hotel that has many attributes to recommend it.

Bovec, Slovenia Hotel Boka is a modern small hotel located a 10 minute drive from the town of Bovec, so it is a little bit more secluded. Other than being outside of Bovec, the location is superb. You're steps away from the Soca river and start of the walk to the Boka waterfall, Slovenia's tallest and most impressive waterfall. A few years ago the hotel changed owners who have made this an extremely hospitable place. They are so warm, welcoming and do everything they can to make your stay comfortable. They have great contacts to adventure companies for those seeking thrills on the Soca river (kayaking, canoeing, rafting, canyoning, hydrospeeding, etc ). The rooms are spacious and clean, beds very comfortable, Plus, there is air conditioning! The bathrooms are good sized, well appointed, lovely towels, etc. The breakfast is more than just the usual continental breakfast with plenty of choice. Very attentive staff makes every effort to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Nothing is too much trouble. Unfortunately the hotel restaurant is not open for dinner - the nearest restaurants are about 5 minutes away. The on-site bar is lovely and features a great selection of drinks. Parking is very simple and plentiful, it is right in front of the hotel entrance, so you don't have to carry your luggage far. On the far side of the parking lot, there is a rocky trail that leads down to the Soca river. This is the starting point for many of the rafting expeditions. The water is incredibly clear! Do yourself a favour and go down to the water and just admire the natural beauty. If you're looking to stay in the Bovec area, this is a great hotel to stay at! It has all you need from a good hotel basically but with an extra smile from the hosts.
