Lake Bled - Julian Alps hotel rooms a the Independent

"We had an idyllic stay here. The property itself is classic and elegant. 100% old world charm! We had lake-view suites which were simply marvelous. They were large, graciously-furnished and very comfortable. The lake views were breathtaking. My father sat on his balcony watching the lake and listening to classical music every morning in bliss. The facilities are terrific. Breakfast offerings were plentiful, tasty, and diverse. I'm gluten-free and had no problem finding tons to eat even before they brought me GF bread!. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel but it looked very good. My sister enjoyed swimming and enjoying the sun from below an umbrella at the hotel's private beach. I loved the spa, alternating between the saunas and the thermal pool. The water was cool but comfortable once you adjusted. And all the minerals -- I felt 10 years younger. We rowed out to the island and visited the castle, of course. Lovely! But the hotel's own amenities should also be a draw. Finally, the hotel staff are the best! Marion especially feels like a forever friend. But everyone was so friendly and answered our questions with great patience and excellent ideas. When we had an unexpected change, they were understanding and accommodating. From directing us to local GF bakeries to advising where to buy Slovenian wine to the easy valet parking and the thoughtfulness of waiter who served our welcome drink, the staff made an already superb experience even better. I can't wait to return! "

"Really friendly reception upon arrival, gave us loads of recommendations of which we experienced quite a few & was grateful for the map we were given. Nice comfortable room, great shower and drink facilities as well as a fridge. Excellent location only a 5 min walk to the lake & a hand full of restaurants, walk a little further say 10 more minutes into Bled itself, although we found the restaurants and bars nearby to be sufficient and served great food.

"Nice hotel, you can’t get any closer to lake bled than this hotel so the location is great. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice enough although it would be nice if there was a bin in the room, we only had a small one in the bathroom and also if you could access streaming services on the TV. We only ate breakfast at the hotel but it was good and had a decent selection. The pool on the roof has an amazing view over lake bled and it’s nice to use although we didn’t realise the saunas would be an extra cost until we arrived."

"Lovely hotel. Fabulous breakfast. Very nice location."

"Located in beautiful countryside. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely. Easy to park and lots of room and space. Apartment big and spacious. Myself and Katherine loved our stay. Thank you."

"It was very nice"

"Beautiful hotel, full of history. The view over the lake is unmatched. The breakfast was wonderful and much better having freshly cooked to order rather than a buffet. We loved our time and were sad to leave. "

"This was a very clean and comfortable accommodation."

"Brilliant location in Bled, staff were extremely helpful. Rooms were of a good quality with local decor displayed in the rooms and throughout the hotel being a nice touch. Only negative being that the A/C was not the best. I had it on the lowest setting for the entire time throughout my stay and the room temperature was still extremely humid. Overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely be back in the future. "
