Best Hotels near Hala Tivoli, Ljubljana

We had high expectations of this hotel and the staff were friendly and the rooms were clean. However, there were some problems which we had not expected in an inner city hotel. We went out for a meal both nights of our stay and when we got back around 9.45 we fancied a drink only to find the bar closed at 10.00pm. On the first night we did have time for a glass of wine but on the second we were told the bar was closed. This was disappointing as we had already been out and did not want to go out again. We had one full day in Ljubljana and the weather was glorious. When we went back to the hotel after being out all day we wanted to go into the Terrace Bar and sit outside with a drink and to read a book. When we approached the entrance to the bar there was a barrier across it. We asked the reception staff if we could go up but were told it was closed for a photo shoot. This is not what we expected on a hot afternoon. The information from the hotel also said there was a restaurant but when we asked were told it was only for group bookings. These little touches make a difference and consequently we would not stop at this hotel again.

It was the best accommodation I've been to in Europe. It's very clean, the staff are so friendly, and it's just the best. If I come to Ljubljana again, I'll definitely stay here. Even though it was the cheapest semi-basement floor, it was so clean and nice that I was happy while staying here..

We stayed in a top cabin and it was bigger and better than expected. Mattres was fine and the people of the hotel was nice. Bathrooms are shared but at least there's private shared baths so you don't have to shower in the same room that everyone else. Worst part is that the stairs to go to the bed are very uncomfy. Overall, was nice and we would go back.

Hotel located in the quiet residential area of a city with banks, some shopping centres and some restaurants; it has a good parking and offers a predefined menu with some choices at 15 euros. The size of the structure, well furnished in the common spaces, could even make you lose; not by chance, athletes and generally groups are swallowing you, attracted by the competitive price compared to the very nearby capital. The rooms are medium size; the TV is placed on the side (!) and also offers RAI programs; the bathroom is small and the shower is placed too high (really uncomfortable). The payment is unsimpatibly made at the check-in, and also includes a 5-euro stay fee.

The hotel is pretty nice, though I’m not sure I’d choose the interior design colors. Room was clean when I first got it. Bathroom door wasn’t closing properly. Lots of TV channels to choose from. The walls are thin- you hear a lot of corridor noise. In general I had good time in spite of a very unpleasant incident with the receptionists (they apologized later). I wouldn’t pay extra for a castle view room as I did this time. It’s really not too impressive as you can see yourselves in the picture. Breakfast was good. Reasonable variety and fresh. Location is good. They started a pilot where they only clean your room upon request. I love the plan but! When I did ask to clean it, my mouth washing glass wasn’t changed and the room wasn’t as clean as when I first got it. I’m quite specific person and my standards are high but I do recommend this hotel in spite of the deficiencies. It’s not much to improve and I hope it will. If you’re sensitive to noise, it might not be suitable for you.

Whist I understand the hotel had recently had a refurb my room (515) was very dated. The bathroom tiles, wood in the bedroom, internal doors and curtains were poor. Worst was the shower cubicle which was a tiny square old-fashioned cubicle with a corner door and a large step to get into. The tray showed signs of age with cracks/marks in the surface. The drainage from the shower was very poor so you stood in water for all of your shower. It rained heavily when we were there and the shower drain made really loud noises of gurgling water during heavy rain which woke me up at night. The door to the bathroom opened inwards making it hard to get in and out of and the door to the room opened out into the corridor which seemed strange. On the positive side the water pressure and bed linens were excellent. The breakfast was also excellent.

This is a little story about how important is front of house and that customer service is essential to run a hotel. I can assure I am not a Karen in any way and I am not easy to be annoyed. We came on a business trip for 1 night only, exhausted from the car ride from another side of Slovenia. We came about 5 pm, with 20 degrees and full sunshine outside beaming through glass windows of the hotel. Although it says the hotel has air conditioning after we informed the reception that it doesn’t work, our receptionist ( who looks like she had a bad day) explained that IT IS WINTER. And the air conditioning is not turned on in the whole hotel. Use the windows instead. We then dreamt about the coffee. Not a single kettle to use in the whole hotel, restaurant closed. We couldn’t even buy a bottle of water (no water in the room). We went to town. We received a parking hob with a £20 deposit for the parking space and at night before our very busy departure I wanted to return it. I have been told that I have to unpark my car in the morning, put the parking block up, LEAVE THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET with no alternative parking available, get myself back to the hotel desk and then give it back. When I said it is quite problematic to do in the morning this way I would like to return tonight, I got reprimanded, rudely, that I have to do it otherwise my deposit will not be given back. I then heard her slagging me off in Slovenian when I was waiting for the elevator. I hope someone takes notes for the staff training… The room was clean and cosy, slightly small to my liking but good value for money.

Stayed in the holiday inn for 5 nights while we explored Slovenia. The hotel is a 20 minute walk from the city centre or a €6 taxi ride. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. The breakfast provided was excellent and we were surprised by how good it was. The hotel gave us a 30 bottle of wine that was left in our room as it was my girlfriends 30th birthday. It was a lovely touch and very much appreciated.
