We are honoured to say that our guests place their trust in us, and we are very happy that we can create a great, warm and helpful environment for all those who are ready to create unforgettable memories in our beautiful city.
If you are still sceptical about your visit, we would like to share with you some testimonials from our previous guests from all over the world. The testimonials have been shared on TripAdvisor and Booking.com and we invite you to leave your own comment as well if you decide to visit Zlata Ladjica Boutique Hotel.
What spurs us on even more to continue our work at the highest level is the fact that our efforts and goal do not go unnoticed:
“The owners spared nothing in their renovation of this 500+ year old historic building and their efforts shine through in every detail. We just wanted to sit and admire each detail. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful and made sure our stay was perfect. Julia met us at the parking lot and walked us to the hotel providing details as we walked while a college brought in our luggage. The staff made reservations for us even when they weren’t needed and made sure we took an umbrella with us. At night they fix your bed, leave a candy, and close the curtains. Each staff member was exceptional. The location couldn’t have been more central, within meters there are bars, restaurants, shops, and wonderful city sights. The breakfast was far better than most 5 star hotels.” – James, Hungary
“We had a wonderful stay in this new hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, breakfast absolutely delicious, and the whole hotel is very beautifully renovated and decorated. The location is also unbeatable, close to everything you would want to see in Ljubljana. They also offer bicycles to borrow if you feel like exploring a bit more! The room was super comfy with everything we needed and and amazing balcony with the view on the river. We would love to stay there again!” – Manon, Switzerland
As well as making our guests feel at home as soon as they step into one of our rooms, we want to ensure that everyone gets the full experience – and that includes the culinary offering. Our globally renewed chef Jakob Jerala makes sure that he uses only the best ingredients from Slovenia.
“We ordered Chef Jakob’s dinner for our second night. We knew not the price nor the menu but put our trust in him. We knew that he would be using all organic ingredients sourced from the local Slovenian countryside. The experience turned out to be a Michelin level experience.
At 7 pm we were greeted by headwaiter/ sommelier Luka, seated nicely and told what to expect during the upcoming culinary experience. The next 3 hours were sublime with each course paired with a Slovenian wine. We slowly worked our way through nine incredible offerings and five select wines. We took pictures of each course and should have written down the descriptions. Three of the non forgettable tastes were the bear prosciutto, the trout carpaccio, and the most tender beef.
Chef Jakob greeted us at the meal’s completion and we gave him a standing ovation. He is working toward the organic certification before entering the Michelin race. We feel his dinner was of Michelin standard. And the cost was worth every cent. We paid around 200 euros for the complete feast. And we are looking forward to being returning customers.” – Jim, Hungary
To make your trip as carefree as possible, we want to ensure a safe and pleasant journey for all our guests – from the moment you arrive in town to the Zlata Ladjica Boutique Hotel. We will help you with obtaining transportation and accompany you to the Front Desk of the hotel.
“From the moment of arrival, the hotel concierge is well organised – having ordered a taxi from the station to the pick up point where their courteous staff were waiting to help with the luggage and the short walk to the hotel. I stayed in the Little Dragon room which is one of the best boutique hotel rooms i’ve ever stayed in. It’s beautifully furnished and has a huge bath tub to relax in. The cute terrace is the perfect spot for people watching and watching the old town come alive. When you want to switch off, you can close the windows and at the touch of a switch the electronic blinds come down. The bed is super comfy with soft, good quality bed linen. It has all the small touches that add to the experience such as an excellent coffee making machine, a free mini bar with local soft drink products, a sofa to lounge on with a TV and another TV that you can watch form the bath. Everything is spotlessly clean.” – Soulseedtravel, London
Since exploring the city, visiting on business, or arriving after a long day of travel can be quite exhausting, we make sure to provide all of our guests with experiences that leave them ready to conquer the day in the morning all the way the ultimate relaxation at the end of the day.
“Breakfast starts with different breads, pastries, spreads and cheese along with an a la carte dish you can create yourself for the chef to make, juice and fresh coffee. The service is very quick and the friendly waiter always made time for a chat.
On the lower ground floor there is a spa for private use with an anti gravity bed, sauna, steam room and sensory shower. I highly recommend the bed for jet lack or meditating as it deeply relaxes you.
I’d definitely return to stay here as it gives you that homely feeling, you are well looked after, the location is prime, the sauna/steam in the spa are of exceptional quality and you get that personalised service without having to wait for anything.” -Soulseedtravel, London
What is our goal, you might ask? As people who work in the hospitality and tourism industry, we know that the purpose of travel is not only to visit beautiful destinations, but also to remember for a lifetime the trips that took your breath away. That’s why we believe in the magic of creating the perfect experience for you. The smiles of our guests always make us happy and reassure us that the love we put into providing, catering and all our services is well received. We will always strive for greatness, friendliness and helpful service.
“The staff are what makes this hotel. Each and every one of them. From the moment you check in they make you feel welcome. They attend to your every need with a smile and go way beyond what you would ordinarily expect – I don’t usually leave reviews but this group of staff deserve a special mention. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, the rooms are finished in quality and style. Marko and his wife have great taste in interior design. Food is wonderful as well and the breakfast that is included is a fantastic taste of Slovenia! Again, here, their chef takes note of all your likes and dislikes and caters his dishes to you. The mini bar is re-stocked every day free of charge. Bikes are available to explore the city. And a special mention and thanks to their concierge Gregor and the gentleman who was on night shift when I had a small medical emergency – they truly set the gold standard for customer service. /… /” – Marco, UK
“The staff is top; very kind, professional and helpful. Additionally, we also enjoyed that we were able to stay in the city centre and the property was very quiet. I look forward to coming back in the future.” – Larsen, USA
