Grand Hotel Toplice

There is so much to love about The Grand Hotel Toplice, and this review is very hard to write. I want to make positive comments about some things but some other not so positive things cannot be overlooked. The View - The most STUNNING, BEAUTIFUL, UNBEATABLE View in Bled and one of the best views in the world. The setting of this hotel is perfect and by far the best in Bled. Far enough away from the noise of the bars and outside event space but close enough to walk to in a few minutes to all the local restaurants. Staff - Mostly very welcoming, kind and understanding. Guest Room - Very dated, but not so much in a charming way. The TV did not work at all, the shower was impossible to use without soaking the entire bathroom floor and there was nowhere to place any toiletries by the sink. The curtains were thin and did not block out the light so we woke at sunrise. The room could have been made more functional without losing its old world charm. Although we were directly on the road above the driveway the room was quiet which was good. Air conditioning worked, but would have been better if it was a few degrees cooler. I did not hate the room but I wanted to love it, and it would be so easy to make the room feel more luxurious and more five star. Breakfast - A good choice of food and lovely views and location. The lady that greeted us each day was friendly and warm and seemed to know quite a few guests that were obviously regular visitors. Spa - Pool was very cold so we left and went to swim in the Lake, the sun area with direct access to the lake was very nice and I think the only hotel inn Bled to have direct access to the water. Very pretty. We had a lovely time in Bled, enjoyed gorgeous walks, and good meals but we did expect a 5 star experience which the hotel did not really give us. I would love to see some investment in the rooms (especially the bathrooms) as this Hotel could be one of the worlds best with just a bit of TLC. and new fittings.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in July. The location is perfect. A very short walk to bars and restaurants and right on the waters edge. I loved being able to swim in the lake from the private bathing platform. There was a good number of sunbeds but was still a bit of bed reserving which is always disappointing in a hotel of this standard but there was usually a free bed whatever time we arrived. We had a lake view room and the view was perfect. Service at breakfast was excellent and the variety was extremely good with hot and cold buffet and additional à la carte choices. Staff were so friendly and helpful. I am sure I will return and highly recommend this hotel

Wonderful hotel! Loved the old world charm and sophistication. The views are breathtaking and service is spot on. One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in.
