We enjoyed a great 2 night stay here! The Hotel itself is very eco orientated, they are really keen on recycling, no wasting food at the buffet etc, which I personally think is great. Check in was swift and we were given our room on the 3rd floor, room was a nice size and clean, there was some long straggly cobwebs in the corners and from the lights that looked like they'd been there a while but not a big deal. Lots of facilities on site, there is a spa (additional charge), treatments, bar, bike rental, camp site, glamping etc, there is a lot going on! We hired e-bikes on of the days, this was 45 euro for the full day, we also enjoyed massages too these were 65 euro each and were very good also! Location wise, it is quite remote to a degree, cabs are expensive (25 euro for a 9 minute cab ride, 95 euro cab ride to the airport) for example. The walk to Lake Bled is approx. 30 minutes, which we didn't mind as we enjoy walking but if you do not enjoy or able to make these lengths of walks, then you'll have to rely on cabs which you have to order at reception and usually arrive in about 15 minutes. On our first night, we opted to have dinner at the hotel, which was plentiful and lots of options, the soup and salad bar was a nice touch but we found the deserts a bit bland and let the buffet down slightly. We did have breakfast for both mornings during our stay, we are not big breakfast people but the breakfast done the trick for us to grab a coffee and pastry but not very good value for money for us as we did not enjoy the spreads. They also did not have any English breakfast teabags, which was a shame as I love a tea in the morning, they have all varieties of tea but not the one I was hoping for. Check out was easy, we left our cases with reception all day and collected them early evening with no problems. The only downsides I would say are the location is slightly too remote and quiet for us, restaurants are hard to find locally, the hotel bar shuts at 10pm (however the kind man on reception did make us a late night drink past 10pm which we appreciated a lot!) The walls are thin and we heard full conversations, a choking fit, shouting, the TV next door blaring at 3am etc, this was annoying and not very relaxing. Would recommend but I would bare the above in mind as we assumed (our fault) that the hotel was a lot closer to Bled, restaurants, bars etc but it was a good 30 min walk away which made everything a tiny bit trickier as we had to arrange plans or cabs a lot more than we'd planned.

Interesting hotel with a different eco feel - as very serious on recycling! It’s like a slightly run down Austrian hotel that the kids have taken over. Everything is just about ok and if you’re a cyclist perfect I would think. It’s about 4km out of Bled and so very peaceful but there’s nothing nearby and hotel bar closes by 10pm. It’s about 20 euro in a taxi into town. The glamping cabins seem to have better facilities as hotel guests are not allowed to use the little lake ( with small beach) or swimming pool which seems strange. Rooms very variable but ours 107 had huge balcony with loungers and the shower was powerful and easy to control.
