Ljubljana Zoo

The hotel is extremely clean and has been built to a very high standard throughout the rooms and public areas including the outdoor seating area, Reception and the restaurant. There is free private car park for up to approx 10 cars, including an EV charging bay. Very friendly staff, who speak perfect English, who were all very helpful. The location is in a small residential village with nothing around such as restaurants/bars etc, so unless you eat at the hotel, the nearest place is Bled to get something to eat or have drinks, which is either approx 30 minute walk along the country lanes or 10 minute drive, but be wary if visiting Bled in a car that you cannot park without it costing at least €6 for as little as 1 hour. Kransjka Gora, one of the Ski Resorts, is approx a 40 minute drive, Bonhinj likewise, so if Ski’ing, you are best hiring a car, as the buses are not overly frequent given it’s such a remote location. There is a small supermarket just up the road from the hotel which is handy. The only downside to the location I found was that it is near to a couple of local churches, which have the traditional church bells that go off every hour and every 15 minutes in between. The bells are extremely loud and quite annoying when you are trying to get some sleep. The hotel have recognised this though and provided a little plaque explaining its part of the Slovenian culture but recognise guests need a good nights sleep and provide ear plugs in the room.

This is a beautiful property with a with a long history that’s worth looking into. The staff was fantastic. The rooms were beautiful however buyer beware during the time that we were there they had no air-conditioning and it was extremely uncomfortable and hot overnight. During the early evening, the town lost power had which caused alarms in town to go off all night long, which made it impossible to keep the windows open. I called the front desk and they told me that in April they don’t turn the AC on other than that. The food was fantastic. The breakfast buffet was excellent.
