Best Western Premier Hotel Slon

The staff are exceptional! While the room, comfort, cleanliness - all get full points, the staff get the platinum star. Here is why: Unfortunately, I got pickpocketed at the Zara right opposite the hotel. I lost my passport, my wallet, IDs, etc. I went to the front desk to get a copy of the police report and from that point on, the entire staff was nothing but exceptional. From changing my room with a landline (the Embassy would only call on the Landline), to Misha who walked with me three times to the Western Union to collect money my family has wired, to their Boss helping me talk in the local language with folks at the Embassy....I could go on and on. And here is the other touching and unbelievable: Misha gave me 50 euros from his wallet to help tide me over while we were trying to figure out the Western Union process (without a physical ID one cannot get the case wired, and the only ID I had was on the phone, which of course, was not acceptable). I was only a guest at the hotel and yet he did this kind deed! I will never forget his kindness.

Convenient, safe location on local bus routes and close to the famous bridge. Easy walk to the location where many day tours start. Delicious breakfast buffet. Nice clean, quiet room. Super helpful and friendly staff who told me about the easy bus to the local zoo, which I enjoyed very much! Enjoyed the day tours to Lake Bled & Castle, Postojna Caves & Castle, Lipica Stud Farm to watch the Lipizzaner horses perform, Piran (coastal town), etc. Several local museums and short boat cruise on the river were all excellent. Open Kitchen outdoor food booths (on Fridays) was fun. Plenty of tourists already in mid-April. Ljubljana is a lovely small city (not overwhelming for a solo female). I was able to walk from the bus station in the north end of the city to the hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Slon in Ljubljana! 🌟 The location is perfect - everything is within walking distance. The room was cozy and clean, and the staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was a real highlight - delicious, fresh, and with a great variety. Highly recommended! We’d definitely stay here again on our next visit to Ljubljana.

The location is simply the best. You can easily walk to pretty much anywhere from there, either for sightseeing, drinks, or just to grab something to eat. The bar of the hotel is nice too, the staff is kind and the meal options delicious. The room has decent space, although the shower was a little small for me based on my room selection, good nonetheless. I used the wet/dry sauna a lot, great options to relax after a long day. Just bear in mind it can get crowded at times. There is an elephant plushie on every bed you can buy if you wish (the history behind it is interesting). And if it's raining, there is an umbrella you can use during your stay. All in all, the amenities, the location, and the staff made it a great experience.

Location great, just a few minute walk to the old town part of the city. Bed was very comfortable. Hotel is very clean. Breakfast was delicious. I asked for an upgrade as I had thought I had booked a bigger room (I was wrong) and I got the upgrade anyway so I am very grateful to the manager for that as it really made my stay even more enjoyable. Staff are so friendly and attentive. The rooms are quite old but there are renovations going on at the moment so that will change at some point. Very noisy construction work during the day but that cannot be a fault as it's part of the renovations, and the day is for being out of the hotel and in the city!
