A beautiful place to stay right in the heart of Bled, just a short 3 minute walk to the Lake . Our room was comfortable and clean, with a beautiful Alpine feel to it. A great shower, huge bed and lots of wardrobe space. Teas, coffees, biscuits and some drinks in the mini fridge was a really nice touch. Breakfast was exquisite - small and fantastic quality, we had a savoury AND sweet breakfast every morning - even pouring ourselves a Mimosa. Cannot recommend enough!
+ Excellent location,
+ good choice for breakfast, great bread
+ amazing pool with slide for recreation (though not for swimming)
+ promoting tap water
- At times (depending on the weather) there was a bad sewer smell in my room
- I was promised a free late checkout at reception but when checking out the same assistant denied it and demanded 55 EUR (later brought down to 40 EUR which I paid)
- no gym of any kind in the hotel (guests can use the gym in Hotel Park by the same owner but that's a few minutes downhill)
- I don't know why, but at breakfast, many dishes were rather tasteless: grilled veg, the juices (?)
- super restrictive dress code for dinner posted (don't know if they enforce it, never went, didn't seem good value at 37 EUR)
- only one working elevator, but I used the stairs
I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Starkl. The room was very clean and equipped with modern amenities, thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the space. It’s quite near Lake Bled, which makes it perfect for walks and sightseeing. The welcome pack was well-prepared and informative, and the restaurant served delicious food in a lovely setting. The only small drawback was that the room felt a bit compact, making it a little hard to move around comfortably. Overall, a great stay and very well managed!
