Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers beautiful lake views and convenient private parking. The rooms were a bit tired and smaller than expected, but the charming reception crew made up for it. Enjoy a 'grand hotel' experience by the lake, away from the crowds.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although a bit small and dated, offered a great view of Lake Bled from the balcony. The service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring a delightful stay. The location was ideal with access to the beautiful lake, perfect for relaxing. The dining options were extensive and well-presented, but some areas needed improvement. Overall, a decent stay with both highs and lows.
My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, were on the small side with lovely balconies overlooking the lake. However, it was a bit uncomfortable that there was no air conditioning in the bedroom. The service, provided by Jelena and the restaurant staff, was a bit noisy at times, and they weren't very helpful when we needed assistance with our suitcases upon early arrival. The location was truly spectacular, offering incredible views of Lake Bled and direct access for swimming and boat hire. On the downside, the dining options were limited and lacked variety. Despite these small drawbacks, the facilities were well-maintained, and the hotel offered good value for money.
I had a pleasant stay in this hotel, with comfortable rooms, and truly helpful and nice service. The location is excellent, and the dining experience was enjoyable, despite a few minor downsides.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although beautifully clean and comfortable, felt a bit cramped and lacked timely replenishment of coffee and creamers. The hot temperature in the room was also a downside. On the bright side, the service was friendly and accommodating, with some minor hiccups in order accuracy. The location was wonderful, right by Lake Bled and with stunning views of Castle Bled. The dining options, while extensive and delicious, had some uninspiring dishes. Overall, the facilities were adequate but not exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. On the positive side, the location was absolutely amazing, right on Lake Bled with breathtaking views, and the service, especially during dinner, was exceptional. However, the room I was allocated had a strange smell, and it didn't feel very welcoming or well laid out. The dining experience didn't quite live up to my expectations, as the menu was limited and lacked variety.
