Reviews Summary

Powered by AI
Nestled in the heart of Ljubljana, the Best Western Premier Hotel Slon charms guests with its beautifully decorated ground floor and an ambiance that shines particularly in its bar, lobby, and restaurant. The clean and spacious rooms, blending traditional and contemporary elements, offer comfort despite some suggestions of needing updates. The hotel's prime location makes it a magnet for those eager to explore the city's main attractions and historic Old Town. Service at the hotel is generally held in high regard, especially the professional staff and the sumptuous breakfast, although bar service can sometimes falter. With its considerable value, guests particularly appreciate the reasonable prices for the quality on offer.

Located right in the heart of the city. Rooms have everything you need for a perfect stay even a pillow menu. Robes and slippers provided. We went for the larger room with sofa and massive tv with some English speaking channels and Sports channels. Ljubljana is an excellent place for food lovers and shoppers. The staff at Slon were so very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was of the highest quality food. Highly recommended this hotel which is very comparatively priced too. See my other reviews of Restavracija Strelec and Aroma bar.

Hotel Slon is an old, well-maintained hotel located in the pedestrian zone of Ljubljana's city center. The rooms exude a certain old-world charm, the bedding is impeccable, the bed comfortable, the heating excellent, and the bathrooms spacious and equipped with premium L'Occitane bathroom amenities. Among other amenities in the room, you'll find provided slippers, an umbrella, shoe cleaning kit, bathrobe, women's hygiene products, a well-stocked minibar, and a kettle for boiling water... In the room, you'll be greeted with complimentary sachets of instant coffee and green tea, as well as a tetra pack of water. The maid cleans the room daily and replenishes the minibar and complimentary beverages. If you need an iron, you can contact reception, and the iron and ironing board will be promptly delivered to your room. Breakfast is lavish, with an extensive selection of dishes to suit various dietary preferences, along with various beverages (including champagne or detoxifying juice, depending on how you start your morning). If you dine at the hotel, the selection of dishes is also diverse, and the culinary skills of the head chef are suitable for a four-star hotel. Additionally, I was fortunate to get a room on the top floor with a view of Ljubljana Castle. In summary, this is an excellent hotel that I have no complaints about, and if by any chance I didn't leave a tip for the maid, something serious would be wrong with me.

We hated leaving the hotel, all the way from high quality breakfast to the high quality staff and treatment. Don’t hesitate if you are ever in Ljubljana to book a stay there. The restaurant just meters from the hotel was so good we ate there on three occasions. It’s called Sestica.

Very good and centrally located hotel, very clean and comfortable rooms. The breakfast was varied and very well organised. The staff at the reception desk were very polite and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel and the price is reasonable.

We stayed here twice and would do so again. The hotel mixes the traditional and modern. Rooms are fairly traditional and the common areas more modern. The family rooms wee large and provided everything needed. Toiletries were high end and very nice. Service was always extremely attentive and polite. The breakfast was probably the best in Slovenia with a wonderful selection or freshly prepared and buffet items and was a particular highlight. Rooms were quiet, particularly given the location and the hotel was well placed for everything in Ljubljana.

Small and friendly hotel with a great breakfast buffet included in the room rate. It is centrally located and very close to a range of eating places and the beautiful little river flowing through Ljubljana. Beds are comfortable, but rooms are very small. Would recommend for location and value.

All in all its a decent hotel and I would probably stay again . The rooms are really big which was fantastic. The only gripe is that they are a bit dark but not sure what could be done about this. The staff are all very friendly and ready to help , the breakfast was decent, and the location is perfect.

Slon means elephant in Slovenian. Suleiman, an elephant, was in the area in 1552, over 470 years ago. The current hotel, however, is only 85+ years old, built in 1937. The most modern in Ljubljana in those days. I agree with many other reviews that this place could use a little TLC but at the same time, I like to feel its long history held within the dark stained walls, even if that means worn carpets, warped floors, or cracked tiles – as long as things are clean and functioning. As buildings get older, it’s difficult to upgrade them without losing their old cachet. One has to choose between complete modernization and keeping some of the older stuff. Although a tad worn out, my room was decently clean, quiet, but without a nice view. The person at the reception was horrible. I needed something printed and decided to wait until a change of staff the following morning. Unfortunately, the new person behind the desk wasn’t any more amiable. When I first asked about printing my bus ticket she simply said, you can’t buy bus tickets on line so there’s no need to print anything. I showed her the ticket I had purchased on my cell phone and she still denied it was possible. Thankfully, what looked like her manager came in behind the desk and I asked the same of her and she quickly agreed to print it. I just don’t understand the necessity for this kind of posturing and denial. There was never an apology either after it was discovered that, indeed, I was able to purchase a bus ticket on-line. They have a great buffet style breakfast with a huge amount of items to choose from, even deserts and champagne. Freshly squeezed orange juice to green healthy drinks. Roasted vegetables to quiche. Cheeses and meat. Breads and baked beans. There is something for everyone and every type of diets. It’s centrally located but that sometimes make it difficult to find parking. Came here by bike so can’t judge that. They had space to store bicycles. Overall average but what I needed for a couple days visiting this beautiful city.

This hotel is in a great location just around the corner from Presernov trg, the triple bridge and the market. Our room was good in size with a spacious bathroom and comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet was superb with a large variety of hot and cold items. The food in the lounge was very good as well. Above all, the best attribute of this hotel is their staff. The waitstaff and housekeepers are wonderful. Most outstanding are the front desk staff. They are professional, friendly and attentive. Gasper, Vanja,and especially Petra went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was truly enjoyable. We would undoubtedly stay at the BW Premier Slon again if we return to Ljubljana.
