Diner notes
4 out of 5
We had a three night stay here - a great base to explore the mountains and Llubjana. It is situated in the old centre of Kranj, so within easy walking distance to the local cafes and restaurants and not too far, but a steep walk, down to the railway station. The rooms are clean and spacious and the showers are excellent. The rooms look out onto the attractive pedestrian street that runs through the historic centre, so be prepared for the bells from the churches nearby! Aljaž is a very friendly and helpful host and his young staff are absolutely brilliant - Nejc picked us up from the airport and was very welcoming and all the staff were very attentive to our needs, friendly and very helpful. The downside? The hotel garden area is crammed with tables to seat about 50 people and it could be such an attractive place to sit and relax after a day walking around the mountains or the capital. The hotel is looking a little tired and could do with some updating, but we liked the slightly quirky, rundown character (and the ancient sound system playing hits from 1980's constantly!) but when the hospitality and friendliness of the staff is so good, one can put up with a few negatives. Breakfast was good and substantial and the communication prior to arrival, including some tourist information compiled by Nejc, which was very useful, too. Self check-in was also very straightforward. Prices are very competitive, given how close the hotel is to very expensive areas like Bled and Llubjana. Airport transfer is also a major plus point! If you are cyclist or travelling on bicycles, this is a great place - perfectly situated to explore the mountains (a quick trip on the railway will transport you to some fantastic cycling routes, including the new Bled-Bohinj cyclepath, which is spectacular - a 'must-do' ride). It also has secure lock-up for bikes and bike boxes and the hotel van can accommodate large bike boxes. Kranj is a lovely town - the centre has a quiet, understated charm and a smattering of good restaurants and cafes, so worth staying a couple of nights, and this hotel is a comfortable, friendly place to stay.
