Ljubljana, Slovenia Grand Hotel Union is a very famous and popular hotel located in the city centre of Ljubljana. The hotel itself is truly remarkable and full of history. It was built in 1905 and many famous guests stayed here including Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Dalai Lama. At the time it was built it was the largest building in the city. The entire building, both its facade and interior furnishings is designed in the Art Nouveau style. From the moment you step inside the door you just know it's a great place to stay. The decor is breathtaking and the hotel is beautifully maintained. The location of the hotel couldn't be better. It's a 2 minute walk from the Triple Bridge and the Old Town. Central to everything. Although the hotel stands on a main street, part of it is pedestrian so there's very little or no noise. There's a reasonable sized supermarket just at the back of the hotel which is always useful for any items you've forgotten or if you want drinks or snacks. Another real plus is that the hotel is right on the edge of the old town but not in it, so you are able to drive to the hotel and park there. The hotel is really large with 194 rooms and 22 suites. The rooms are clean, tidy, air conditioned, and you can also open the large windows for fresh air. The beds are very comfortable and you can have any kind of pillow that tickles your fancy, including goose down! There's a large TV with several international channels and a minibar/fridge. The bathrooms are good-sized and well appointed with shower, robes, slippers, vanity mirror, tissues, and a good hairdryer (important for the ladies). The pressure on the shower is amazing, the best of all hotels we have ever stayed at. If possible, ask for a room on one of the higher floors, the views are just great. The morning breakfast is delectable and not to be missed! The breakfast buffet includes everything one might expect (both hot and cold). There is a variety of fresh breads, pastries, cold cuts and assorted cheeses, yogurts, fresh fruits, pancakes and oatmeal. There is also sausage, eggs, grilled tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, 7 types of milk, juices, coffee, sparkling wine, smoothies, and lots more. The hotel restaurant is good for evening meals, very competitively priced. The attentiveness by all the staff is second to none. Every single member of staff is courteous, professional but also friendly. There is a wonderful spa and swimming pool on the 9th floor with a Thai theme and stunning views of the city from the small sun terrace. The pool itself is around 10 metres in length so not the biggest but spotlessly clean and offers a refreshing swim after a day walking around town. The complimentary WiFi is also good, fast with good coverage. There is also very good parking facilities in an underground garage if you're arriving by car or motorbike, though the parking is a bit pricey at €20 a night. All in all, a lovely traditional hotel with modern amenities. Very nicely maintained and decorated. The rooms are large, the beds are oh so comfortable, and they offer every amenity you could dream of! Of course, it is not cheap but overall a great hotel, with a traditional atmosphere.

| Bled, Slovenia Hotel Triglav is a charming family run boutique hotel located on the opposite side of the lake from downtown Bled and it is very quiet and tranquil. It is situated on a hill so has the most stunning views of the lake. It's only 15-20 minutes walk into Bled along the lakeside or a 3-minute drive. The hotel is in classic alpine style, furnished in a way in keeping with its history, but with all the comfort one expects from a good 4-star hotel. All the rooms are very well appointed and many rooms have lovely balconies with stunning views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. We strongly recommend to book a room with a lake view, it's definitely worth it. Odds are that you'll want to spend most of your time on the balcony staring at the beautiful lake and island. The bathrooms are quite spacious, clean, and very modern with beautiful tiles and a great shower. The food is very creatively displayed, beautiful portion sizes and really top quality meats and fish. Absolutely excellent, and well known locally. All the wines and beers are locally produced and the knowledgeable and friendly waiting staff are keenly able to discuss Slovenian food and wine. The breakfast is the usual sort of buffet style with great coffee, fresh fruit, cereals, yogurts, nuts, jam, toast, cold meats, cheese, cooked sausages, cooked vegetables, eggs cooked any way you want, croissants and homemade cakes.

SMALL LUXURY HOTELS OF THE WORLD Bled, Slovenia Grand Hotel Toplice is a charming, old fashioned, five-star hotel is in a perfect location, right on the Bled’s stunning lake opposite the castle. The hotel is part of the Small Luxury Hotels of The World collection and it is evident why as the service is truly top notch and place a high value to small little things that make the stay extra special. The rooms are quiet, clean and a little bit old fashioned. But is exactly the flair you want here. It is historical not a modern luxury hotel. If you have the possibility ask for a room with lake view. The rooms at back have no view and face the road. No question if you can afford to pay a bit extra it is absolutely worth being lakeside as it changes the whole experience. The bedding is clean white and crisp and beds are very comfortable and have a contraption to enable you to adjust the mattress at each side of the bed. The bathrooms are well appointed with all one could wish for, but although the toiletries are supplied they are not the luxury sort you might expect from a hotel at this level. The breakfast is excellent; very extensive choices with wonderful fresh breads, very nice cheeses and meats, smoked salmon, all the usual fruits as well as drip coffee and espresso drinks and eggs made to order. They also have some nicely done sweets including the locally famous Bled cream cake. If you book half board be warned that the evening meal is a very traditional 4 course sit down meal which is a lovely touch and the food is great but it's not for everyone. Staff are all amazing. Always so welcoming, helpful and friendly. The spa area is well kept and totally relaxing, There is a wonderful indoor pool of natural spring water that is refilled and cleansed daily. It's maybe a little cold for some, but according to hotel staff, they prefer not to alter the natural temperature of the water. The saunas are mixed sex and no bathing clothes allowed however you can cover yourself with a towel or sheet. The WiFi is superb throughout the rooms and public areas of the hotel. There is free parking at the hotel and of course a lift serving all floors except the 5th. Overall an excellent place to stay in Bled.

| Bled, Slovenia Following a complete - and very impressive - makeover, the Hotel Astoria was re-opened in May 2013 and offers its guests the perfect combination of 4-star luxury at 3-star rates. Many hotels boasting with four stars have less to offer. It's a well appointed, comfortable hotel in a great location, perfectly placed for restaurants, cafes and shops and just a slow five minutes stroll down to the lake. It's also very close to the bus station, so ideal if you arrive by local transport. The hotel is spacious and very clean with great air conditioning. The whole building is well decorated. The rooms and bathrooms are not big but adequate, and the beds are very comfortable. From some rooms, you have a wonderful view on Lake Bled - you can see a lovely church in the centre of the lake which is overlooked by a castle on a spectacular cliff. The bathrooms are modern and clean with good shower pressure. The eat-as-much-as-you-like buffet breakfast is great, hot, varied and regularly topped up. There's fresh fruit, cooked to order omelettes or waffles, cold meats and cheeses, fruit, yogurt, cereals, nuts and dried fruit, different rolls pastries and croissants, juices, coffee and tea. The service and staff attitude is excellent and welcoming. The wellness centre is good but surprisingly for the large area, there isn't a pool. It does have two bathtubs (one indoor, one outdoor) that run alternatively. There are four different saunas and plenty of relaxation areas. The WiFi is excellent in the lounge and restaurant, though the WiFi signal is pretty weak in the rooms. They have free and very easy parking in their garage, which is awesome. All-in-all a great value hotel for the budget-conscious travelers visiting Lake Bled.

Piran, Slovenia Hotel Piran has the prime position in the town, right on the sea-front and two minutes from the main Tartini square and harbour. It is quite possibly the best boutique style hotel on the Slovenian coast. It is housed in a historic building dating back to 1913 and the front exterior is quite beautiful. The hotel was completely renovated in 2013 and we must say it was extremely tastefully done with no expense spared. The lobby is spacious and well decorated and there is a lift to all floors. The hotel has 103 rooms and suites. The rooms are very comfortable and clean with a flat screen TV, air con and nice furnishings. If possible, ask for a sea facing room (ideally on higher floors) to enjoy the harbour views and the little fishing boats coming and going. It costs more but is well worth it. The bathrooms are not very large but they are modern and very clean and shiny and supplied with some lovely Italian toiletries. The shower cubicle is large with a good pressure of hot water. The breakfasts are superb, You can serve yourself or be served. There is a massive choice. You can enjoy cheeses, Slovenian hams, fruits, cereal, yoghurts, juices, you can cobble an English style breakfast together with smoky sausage, Stockmeyer style bacon, eggs and latkes, there is toast, rolls, croissants and just about everything you can desire. The coffee is great and you can get a cup of tea. On fine days breakfast could be taken on the seafront. The hotel has both seafront bar/restaurant and roof top bar. Roof top prices are a little steep, but both areas have wonderful views and you can watch the sunset over the sea. You must book for dinner if you want a terrace table. The food is very good and tasty but quite expensive. The hotel does not have a pool but has a jetty so you can swim in the sea and then relax enjoying drinks from the hotel cafe. You can also hire sunbeds from the hotel along with towels. The staff at the hotel cannot be faulted; nothing is ever too much trouble, they are warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable. There is free WiFi available all around the hotel, but it is pretty slow and rather unstable. Finding the hotel is easy enough if you follow their directions. Arriving by car is fine and you can drive right up to the main entrance and drop off your bags. The car then needs to be driven to the main multi-story car-park on the edge of Piran. This can be done with the help of a hotel driver or on your own and getting back to the hotel either by frequent free shuttle or a pleasant 20 minute walk. The hotel's rate at the car park is much better than simply paying direct to the car park so make sure you arrange this with the hotel reception in advance or on arrival. In summary, a great boutique style hotel in a fantastic location with a very professional and friendly staff and nice and well appointed rooms with modern amenities.

Piran, Slovenia Hotel Tartini is located in the heart of Piran right on the beautiful oval-shaped marble Tartini square. As Piran is a small town the hotel is close to everything you would want to see and do. The hotel is named after a world famous violin player and composer Giuseppe Tartini who was born in a house in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. The design of the building is stylish, nice pink/salmon color outside and the new bits blend well with the old. The centre of the hotel is an open atrium which gives the reception area a spacious feel. There’s a lift and various ramps to access all floors. If you sit in the reception area and look at the shape of the interior, it's not unlike something that Salvador Dali might design. A mixture of lines and curves, steps, ramps with art work adorning all the walls. The hotel is fairly small, having 45 rooms. The rooms are of decent size and uniquely decorated, very clean and furnishings are all very new. The windows have wooden shutters to keep out the sun and noise. Air conditioning works well and there's also a TV and mini fridge in each room. The beds are very comfortable with plenty of pillows and the extra blanket in the closet. Generally you can choose between a sea view or square view rooms and both can be noisy because you are at the heart of the activities in Piran. If you want to feel the life of Piran, ask for a room overlooking the Tartini square and if you like views, request a sea view room (although buildings partly obscure it). All sea-view rooms have a small balcony. The bathrooms are small but modern and everything is spotlessly clean and well maintained and the shower is incredibly powerful. The buffet breakfast is lovely, fresh fruit, cereal, yogurt, cheese, vegetables, cold meat, hot food, lovely cakes and you can also order different cooked eggs and bacon. The breakfast is served in a lovely large dining area with inside and outside seating. The hotel restaurant is great, but you'll probably want to eat outside of the hotel as there are plenty of fantastic restaurants in Piran. The staff are just wonderful, accommodating to your every need, very personalized service. There are two very nice outdoor seating areas for relaxing and drinking. One is off the second floor landing, and the other on the roof with fantastic views and both locations have bar service. As far as parking goes, the hotel is in a pedestrian area so you can drive in to drop your luggage and then you have to park right outside town - it is a little less than a 10 minute walk, or you can take the free shuttle which runs every ten minutes. The free WiFi works a little bit slow but it is fine with patience. All in all, a great hotel in the centre of Piran with modern rooms, cordial service and excellent breakfast. Everything is on your doorstep. Location: Style/character: Staff & service: Rooms: Facilities: Food & drink: Cleanliness: Value for money: Free WiFi: Free parking: |
Piran, Slovenia Hotel Fiesa is a lovely small 3-star hotel perfectly situated right on the coast with an amazing view of the Adriatic Sea. The hotel isn´t in fact in Piran, but a pleasant 15 minute stroll along the coast in nearby Fiesa. You get a torch from the hotel for when it's dark. Around the hotel you will find a few shops, coffee shops, fast food, bars, not a lot but just enough. There is also plenty of water sports for hire just by the hotel. The beach is a rocky cove, not sandy, so its not a strikingly pretty cove. The hotel itself is fairly small, having only 21 rooms and one suite. It was recently partially renovated. The furnishings of the rooms are basic and a bit dated though very clean, but the bathrooms have just been refurbished and they look all new and modern with a lovely large walk in shower and great hot water pressure. Air-con in the rooms is very effective, which is great because it can get really hot in the summer afternoons. The rooms also have a TV and a fridge. If possible, try to book a room with a balcony, it's such a pleasure sitting on it and soaking up the peaceful surroundings and taking in a sea view to die for. The breakfast every morning is a delight, plenty of choice, cereals, salads, eggs, ham, cold meats, cheese, breads, jams, cakes, plenty of fresh water, juice, coffee, tea, and more. The breakfast is served in a large room, never a problem with queues, everything is plentiful. There is also plenty of seating for breakfast inside and out. It is lovely sitting outside every morning overlooking the sea whilst having a leisurely breakfast. The hotel also has a bar and restaurant and serves food daily, but there are some fantastic restaurants in Piran, so you'll probably want to have dinner outside of the hotel. All the staff at the hotel are so welcoming, smiling all the time and so helpful - what more could you want. They can give you lots of information about Piran and the Slovenian coast and also some info on the rest of the places you are going to be travelling to in Slovenia. The free WiFi works fine in most rooms except on the upper floor, where the signal is weak and can be slow. The hotel is easy to find from the highway and there is plenty of free car parking in a secure car park just a few minutes walk from the hotel entrance. Overall a very nice hotel to stay at and a great value for its location.

Maribor, Slovenia Habakuk Wellness Hotel is located at the bottom of the Pohorje hill/ski slopes in the outskirts of Maribor, at a distance of about 10 minutes drive to the center of the city. It's a little gem with great indoor and outdoor swimming pools, saunas, excellent room service, multi-lingual staff and delicious food. Especially the indoor pool is fantastic, possibly the best we've seen anywhere. The rooms in the older section of the hotel are more spacious with older design but very comfortable. The new section has very modern designer rooms that are slightly smaller but still very comfortable. The beds and bed linens and pillows are wonderful. The room service is great. The buffet breakfast is also great, good selection and good quality with great service. The staff in general is very friendly, helpful and willing to accommodate your expectations.

Maribor, Slovenia Hotel City Maribor is a modern and well-appointed hotel with a great on-site restaurant. It's centrally located right on the river with beautiful views, only five minutes walk to the old town and less than ten minutes walk to the train station. Maribor is a small city, so everything is within walking distance. It may be very contemporary in interior design but is old fashioned warm welcome when it comes to the staff, who are very friendly and helpful and all speak perfect English. The rooms are modern, with large comfortable beds, nice pillows, lots of space, and great bathroom - really everything you'd expect from a good 4-star hotel. The rooms at the front of the hotel face on to a busy street, so if you are too sensitive to noise, ask for a room towards the courtyard and avoid rooms above the terrace. The complimentary breakfast is certainly adequate, nice variety of food if not fantastic. On the fifth floor is a wonderful terrace restaurant and bar - very welcoming and reasonably priced. The free Wi-Fi is available but only one person per room can be logged in at any one time. The parking is possible on site for a small charge (4 euros per day).

Portoroz, Slovenia Hotel Kempinski Palace Portoroz is arguably the most luxurious hotel in Slovenia. It is majestic and almost flawless with great facilities, cleanliness and service throughout is first class. Everything is done with great attention to detail and to extremely high standards. From arrival with immediate assistance with luggage and valet parking to a seamless fast check in, one feels immediately very welcome and valued as a guest. There is the older section and newer section. Both side are wonderful, depends on your preference - whether you are a person with classic or modern taste. The rooms in the newer section are more modern and larger and they all have a private balcony, but do not have full sea views although partial views are available. The sea view rooms in the older section are great too, but consider a park view room if you want to guarantee a peaceful night's sleep, because the sea view rooms at the front may be exposed to some late night party noise from the beach bars and cafes across the street. The breakfast on a sun soaked terrace in front of the majestic old wing is a hedonistic delight with plenty of choice. The staff are fantastic, charming and welcoming - they are simply exemplary at every interaction and reflect extremely well on management. There's a superb pool complex with a well equipped gym above. In summary, fantastic location, beautiful gardens, wonderful selection of restaurants with superb food and exquisitely renovated rooms. Everything is so luxurious - the stunning marble bathrooms, the lavish fabrics, the deep and super comfy beds, etc. We could go on and on but we think you get the picture and no detail has been left to chance. For a luxury traveler best hotel and best value often don't go hand in hand but we're happy to say that this is the case here at the Kempinski Palace Portoroz.

Portoroz, Slovenia Hotel Apollo – Terme & Wellness LifeClass was completely renovated in 2014 and we must say they have done a great job. The hotel is part of a complex and is set a little back from the rest of the hotels and there's a little hill that you have to climb - not an issue if you are fit and mobile but really not recommended for the elderly or disabled. The rooms are nicely decorated, modern, fairly large and look brand new. The bathrooms are very nice and everything is very clean. The breakfast is included and the buffet is excellent with a good variety of choices. The food at the hotel's restaurant is wonderful and you can taste very good local and western food here. All the hotel staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. You can also take the advantage of a pamper in the spa, which is connected to the hotel.

Portoroz, Slovenia Hotel Tomi is a very friendly family-run hotel situated on a small hill above Portoroz, about eight minutes walk from the main strip of Portoroz, so it's quiet and calm whilst still being very close to town. The walk is all downhill which means uphill when you return to the hotel and it's a fairly steep climb back so it's not very suitable for anyone with mobility problems or anyone wearing high heels. The rooms are of average size, very clean but the wonderful balcony and amazing sea views more than made up for it. The breakfast is not luxurious but really tasty and fresh and provides everything you need. The on-site restaurant has a reputation of being one of the best in the Portoroz area. All the staff are very welcoming, friendly and efficient, and nothing is too much trouble. The pool is great with many loungers around and there's a nice rotating bubble feature that travels from a jacuzzi to the pool to the small children's pool and back. The free parking and the free wifi throughout the hotel are also a big plus.

The beach and the centre of the old town of Koper are a 10 minute walk in the other direction. The situation is on the edge of a commercial area with a shopping mall and several supermarkets just moments away. The hotel is right on the main road, which might cause you some doubt upon your initial approach, but it is quiet at night to allow for a great night's sleep. This is no luxury hotel but the rooms are spacious, clean and well maintained, although the furnishings are slightly dated. The rooms are also well-presented with a comfy banquette off the side of the bed. The beds are comfortable and the bed linen is of good quality and smell fresh. Would be nice to have a fridge and tea / coffee making facility in rooms. The air conditioning in the rooms is very efficient and some rooms also have a balcony.

There is parking at the back of the hotel which is free of charge to hotel guests, just need to display a hotel card you get given at reception on check in. Overall, there is nothing super special about this hotel, but it's a great value compared to many of the other hotels on the Slovenian coast.

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.
