We stayed for two nights in a superior suite during a longer trip to Ljubljana. The suite contained a sitting room with balcony, bedroom, bathroom with circular jacuzzi bath, and separate shower room. All areas were spotlessly clean, attractive and spacious. The balcony had a nice view. There was a safe and minibar. Breakfast was included, and was one of the best hotel buffet breakfasts I've had. Huge range, plentiful, everything fresh and well presented. Dinner was less good, with a somewhat limited menu and food arriving tepid. (Avoid the beef with noodles soup, which sounded promising but turned out to be greasy consommé lacking in meat or vegetables with slightly floury noodles in it - certainly poor value at €7.50.) Inside the hotel, there's wood everywhere. Even the carpet in the upstairs corridors has a wood pattern. There are spa facilities, which we didn't use. Outside, there's a fire pit to sit round in the evening. At the moment (June 2024) there's some building work taking place next to the hotel, but it wasn't disruptive. The nearby lake is beautiful, and the resort isn't overrun and crowded like Lake Bled, which is closer to Ljubljana. We went on a relaxing boat tour of Lake Bohinj and stopped off for lunch at the far end, where there's a good outdoor pizza place and ice cream parlour selling really nice ice cream. All in all, an expensive hotel but, apart from dinners, has the ingredients for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
