Hotel Piran
One of Piran's only two central hotels, the Hotel Piran, with 80 rooms and 10 apartments, is right on the water.
Best Western Premier Hotel Slon
Elegant in an eastern bloc kind of way, the 171-room hotel joined the Best Western family who will undoubtedly continue to fix and fiddle with it so that it meets the exacting needs of the contemporary business traveller...
Central Hotel
The latest addition to the Union empire is the former Hotel Astral, a warm and friendly hotel that caters predominantly to business customers midweek and leisure travellers at weekends...
Hotel Lev
It's certainly luxurious, but there's something lacking in this deluxe 173-room hotel. The rooms are perfectly fine, the furnishings pleasant enough (the bathrooms are tiny), but the whole package just doesn't add up to the high-end prices...
Hotel Slovenija Life Class Hotels & Spa
The sister properties are joined at the hip and are good choices if you want to stay someplace central. The Riviera has 160 rooms, three fabulous swimming pools and the Wai Thai spa. The Slovenija is somewhat bigger with 183 rooms...
Grand Hotel Metropol
Currently the only five-star hotel in town, the 104-room Metropol is up on a hill overlooking the beach. It boasts a casino, huge indoor and outdoor swimming pools and the excellent San Lorenzo restaurant on the ground floor.
Hotel Jama
This 267-bed property 200m southeast of the entrance to Postojna Cave has had something of a facelift in recent years, but there is little reason to stay out here unless you want to be the first person in the cave in the morning.
Hotel Zlatorog
Out of the way and pleasant for that reason, this lakeside hotel just under 5km west of Ribčev Laz has 43 rooms in its main hotel building and another 31 in a villa annexe...
Hotel Vila Bled
This 30-room hotel is where Tito and his foreign guests once put their feet up and their heads down. The 7 rooms and 24 suites (one with Jacuzzi) are furnished in retro-style 1950s decor...
Hotel Kompas
This rather bizarrely designed 95-room hotel - the atrium staircase is dizzying - has everything, including a huge pool under a glass dome. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the lake.
Hotel Bohinj
This 52-room hotel overlooks the lake from a hill above the road to Bohinjska Bistrica 100m northeast of the post office in Ribčev Laz. It has a couple of rooms adapted for disabled travellers.
Hotel Ski
Rates at this recently renovated 29-room hotel at 1540m are at their highest during the skiing season.
Hotel Krka
The only place to stay in the centre of town is this 53-room business hotel, with modern, comfortable rooms, some of which are adapted for disabled guests. Oddly, in a hotel of this class, guests have to pay for internet access (around €2.70/6...
Grand Hotel Union Business
A recent renovation of the business-oriented branch of the Grand Hotel Union has resulted in rooms that look more or less like the ones in the Executive (minus the Art Nouveau touches and more expensive rates)...
Pri Mraku Hotel
Above the good but dowdy-looking restaurant is this warm and friendly guesthouse with a bunch of slightly cramped rooms squeezed on top of each other. The fit may be a little tight but it's comfortable and the location is excellent...
Best Western Plus Hotel Piramida
Maribor's only four-star hotel, the 76-bed Piramida is essentially a former tourist hotel tarted up with a bit of paint and marble. Still, the facilities, such as the mini relaxation centre with sauna, solarium and gym, are more than adequate.
Hotel Mons
A brand new, ultra-stylish four-star hotel with comfortable, high-tech rooms and a colourful designer look throughout may be just what the doctor ordered...
M Hotel
It's not much to look at from outside, but this is a very good hotel with 154 comfortable rooms, all with the usual mod cons includings ISDN lines and cable TV. Park Tivoli is just round the corner...
Best Western Premier Hotel Lovec
A new favourite, the Lovec has been completely overhauled and now boasts 60 of the most attractive rooms in town. We love the rooms with blond-wood walls, red carpet, and bath with Jacuzzi in front of a massive window facing the lake...
Grand Hotel Toplice
With a history that goes back to the mid-19th century, the 87-room Toplice is Bled's 'olde worlde' hotel, with attractive public areas, rooms renovated in 2002 and superb views of the lake on its northern side.
Park
This flashy 82-room hotel, surrounded by lots of trees and lawn, is convenient to the bus station. Not to be outdone, they too have rooms with waterbeds.
Tabor
This friendly, 42-room hotel is housed in an uninspiring concrete block in Tabor 3km to the southwest of the centre across the Drava. Reach it on bus 6, 12 or 18.
