Astoria

Visited for three nights in August 2026 with my wife. THE HOTEL Staff and check-in / check out are quick and efficient. There is a QR code at reception and in the room that you can download hotel information and the surrounding area. We had a superior room with a glimpse of the lake The room was adequate in size as was the en-suite. The room was really nice, modern decor with a double bed, safe, seating bench and balcony. The room has been cleverly designed to optimise storage space for suit cases and clothes etc. BREAKFAST We had booked breakfast and there is a really good option of continental and cooked food, orange juices, tea and coffee etc. You can sit in side the spacious dinning area or outside on the decking area. The breakfast was great WELLNESS CENTRE When you scan the QR code you get to choose a free gift (hire of e-scooter etc). We choose a complimentary visit the the wellness area. It has 4 saunas, including finnish and turkish, an inside and outdoor jacuzzi as well as outdoor and indoor beds/loungers - and also provides a range of refreshments. The wellness area is fantastic and pity you only get one free session. You can also book separate massages at a price. LOCATION The location is excellent. A two minute walk from the main bus station and also where you get the bus to visit Vintgar Gorge. Its a five minute walk to the lake and close to a number of restaurants and cafes. Our favourite was "The Old Cellar" where you can book tables overlooking the lake PARKING We had a hire car and the hotel has parking at the front, side and at the rear (underground). Parking was a bit hit and miss but we always got a space coming back from our day trips at various times of the day. In summary, this is a three star hotel, but you will not find a better three star. The rooms and hotel was modern, the hotel is clean, well located to the lake and bus station, staff efficient, breakfast excellent, parking available and the wellness centre an extra bonus. A good choice if staying in Lake Bled

We stayed at the Astoria hotel for 5 nights in June. This hotel is a modern building just up from the lake and tourist centre but in a quiet location. It is a smart, comfortable hotel and had free guest parking. They do not claim to have a view of the lake but we could just see it through the trees from our room. We were given room 314 which had lounge as well as the bedroom and both had a balcony. There was a coffee machine with two pods for expresso coffee but no kettle in the room to no choice of larger cups of coffee and no facility for making tea. No mini fridge either. There is a room safe and a reasonable amount of hanging, shelf and drawer space and ample space to store your suitcases. TV and desk area in the lounge. Free wife and air con. There was a spacious bathroom with walk-in shower, hairdryer, toiletries via dispensers plus a shower cap. Unfortunately the bath towels were tiny. Not seen such small bath towels since the 1960’s. The lighting in the bedroom was ‘subtle’ but a bit too dim for my liking. There is a wellness centre here but I did not try it. Breakfast offered a great selection of hot and cold buffet with certain items cooked to order. There was also a nice selection of local produce. The staff in the restaurant were friendly and helpful.

We stayed here before heading off cycling. The hotel facilities are excellent. Breakfast in the morning was brilliant, especially for me as I'm gluten and lactose intolerant, plenty of breakfast options were available. Room was great with a view over towards the lake. Overall, a very good hotel in a great location (just set back from the main tourist area and very handy for the buses).
