Gem in the heart of Ljubljana
Where to begin…my wife and I stayed for three nights in July 2024, we had a room with a view of the river and the castle and our lovely balcony overlooked the outdoor patio and dining area. We loved everything about this hotel. The location cannot be beat, it is on the river and the outdoor space, the river “stroll” is right outside the door. We were met by Daniel who guided us to our parking space and brought us to the hotel (they make parking very easy), and immediately checked into our room even though it was only 11am. Our room was nicely appointed, the views were amazing, the balcony is such a great touch for coffee or just watching the people stroll along the river, and the bathroom is large and really well done. We had a couples massage that afternoon to help get over the long travel, and the spa area and massage were great. We had dinner the first night in the hotel restaurant, and can’t say enough about the experience. Our server Nejc really made the experience, he was funny, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. He really took care of us, making a special non-alcoholic cocktail for me. The food was outstanding…we ate at a Michelin star restaurant in Ljubljana during the trip and the Zlata Ladjica restaurant was just as good (and the smoked trout dumpling was the best bite we had on our vacation). The outdoor patio for bar/lounge/dining is perfect. There was a guy that plays guitar and sings on Thursday night, and there were people from the street standing outside listening and dancing, it was just a really fun atmosphere. There is an incredible breakfast that comes with the restaurant–we ate so much that we skipped lunch every day. They focus on local, sustainable ingredients and the quality is outstanding. We really enjoyed the local honey, jams, smoked trout, and if you go order the yogurt–it comes with a dizzying array of local toppings–seeds, nuts, honey, fruit.
Beyond the location, excellent restaurant, and beautiful rooms, the service here is what stands out. Every time we stepped off the elevator or came down the stairs someone was there to ask if we needed anything or to guide us to our destination. There were little delicious treats left in our room every night. The people who work here are amazing….they felt like old friends. On the back end of our trip we stayed at Hotel Cubo for one night before going to the airport, and while lovely it is not close to this place. We cannot recommend this place more highly!
