Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a few issues like being dusty and very old, needing serious attention. However, the room was comfortable and clean, more suitable for one person than for two.
The hotel is located in a perfect spot, right in the very center and just a few minutes' walk to the heart of the historic center. The rooms, though small, were spotlessly clean. The service was exceptional, especially resolving a mix-up with our check-in dates. Dining was fantastic with a variety of choices, while the dedicated room on the first floor was a nice touch. The proximity to the city center couldn't have been better, making it ideal for short trips or business meetings.
The hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms in a very good location. However, the AC equipment is rather poor, and there was a lot of noise from outside during the night.
The hotel rooms, though a bit somber, offer good value for money, especially with the baby crib provided. The rooms are spacious and very well equipped with all necessary amenities, from the minibar to bathrobe and slippers.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a bit small and cramped with old furniture, and the AC equipment was not the best, making it a bit uncomfortable. However, the bed was well-appointed and very comfortable. The service was exceptional, with friendly and professional staff readily available to assist with any needs. The location was convenient for accessing various attractions in Ljubljana, but it was challenging to find the hotel on Google Maps due to its position on a pedestrian walkway. The dining experience offered delicious options with a good variety. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel had a good size room with excellent amenities, though it was hard to cool off without opening windows. The location was perfect, right in the center of the city, ideal for exploring and accessing transportation. The dining experience was varied and rich, offering a great selection of food. The service was very accommodating and friendly, making our stay pleasant.
The hotel offers very comfortable rooms with a great view, though we found the heating too hot and hard to control. However, the rooms were sold as a double but smelled of smoke. The service was mixed, with some staff going above and beyond by driving us to and from the car park, but others were rude and accused us of taking items we didn't. The location is very central, close to shops, restaurants, and the old town, although ongoing works on the street outside the hotel dampened our impression. The dining experience varied, with a nice buffet selection but some issues with service. Overall, the hotel provides a mix of positive and negative experiences.
I have mixed feelings about this hotel. On the one hand, the staff is super friendly, the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable which is great. However, the rooms are pretty small, and the breakfast was a bit underwhelming.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were old-fashioned and small, yet they offered a nice view of Ljubljana Castle. However, the room quality did not quite match the price point. On the bright side, the service was exceptional with super kind and welcoming staff, although a bit robotic in their approach. The location was outstanding, being close to major attractions and transportation hubs. The dining was satisfactory with a wide variety of food options. Overall, it's a decent hotel with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers spacious and well-equipped rooms, but the AC could be better. The service is friendly, although some early morning noise was a downside. Its superb location is perfect for sightseeing, with excellent breakfast options. Dining had a good variety, but room for improvement in quality. Guests can enjoy a range of amenities and services. Room rates are quite reasonable.
The hotel is in the city center, making it an ideal location for exploring Ljubljana. While the rooms seemed dated and smaller than expected, the service was exceptional and the dining options were impressive. The hotel offers excellent value for money considering the prime location.
My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The location was convenient for me to complete my tasks in Ljubljana, just a short walk to the city center, but the room itself was small and a bit outdated. The service was friendly and helpful, which was a plus. The dining options were delicious, offering a variety of choices, but the room size left something to be desired.
