Hotel has a Green Globe eco certificate for its sustainablitiey.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is officially classified according to Hotelstars Union standards.
Very average hotel apart from their spa facilities. The lunch menu is a joke- overpriced for food with very cheap ingredients.
Dinner not bad but far from the price they charge you for it-better go a mile up the road and get traditional lunch at the cabin restaurants much cheaper and really amazing food.
Friends went with their dog- they say they’re dog friendly but then the dog can’t go anywhere in the hotel. You pay a fee for the pet and then get nothing for it(no bed, no bowls).

The Plesnik should have it all – there’s no doubt that the location is gorgeous, the rooms (we stayed in the refurbished annexe) are spacious, contemporary, bright and comfortable, the spa is a super-relaxing space with a nice outdoor natural pool. The hotel has taken big steps towards more sustainability and wellness which is to be applauded. But there is something important that seems to have been lost along the way and that’s hospitality.
Thing is, we’re a pretty laid back family, we’re not needy guests wanting over-attentive service. It would just have been nice to have had a pleasant welcome on arrival (it felt like an inconvenience to want to check in), a hello in the morning or how was your meal at dinner. For some reason, the staff here don’t appear to be a particularly happy bunch and don’t go out of their way to engage with guests. The front desk keep their heads down and the restaurant staff seem unempowered to resolve small problems with diners. Their only solution is to apologise and back away. (The only exception was the yoga teacher who was lovely!)
I’m not blaming the staff, this down to poor training and management. This is a hotel in need of an injection of personality and passion – less process, more customer service.
We have found so many warm and welcoming places to stay in Slovenia; sadly the Plesnik isn't one of them.
A note about the food: dinner costs 40 euros per person and you get to choose 4 dishes from a list of 5. The food was ok but certainly not at that price. The breakfasts were much better. If you are vegan, then the vegan options are very much at a box-ticking level. Really basic and uninteresting option of a main course of variations on a small bowl of rice on each the 4 days we were there. You will have to negotiate something more interesting because they probably won’t offer it unprompted!

1. Very bad welcome at the reception, given that we got a room in another building, I would expect a 4 * hotel to escort the guest to the room. In addition, we did not even know that we had a room booked in another building, and not in the hotel where the primary desire was. We booked via a phone call and no one mentioned another hotel. (Otherwise I would take a hotel room and pay as much as would be necessary). 2. As for the room in the Superior Hotel, everything is nice and right, modernly furnished, etc., but the balcony was very dirty, even the dust visible on the shelves and only one chair in the whole room. 3. Having an unreal pool and view, it is very strange not to serve a drink as we think this would be an added bonus of your hotel. 4. As for the saunas, I must say that we are very disappointed, because after 20 minutes we did not "sweat" even a little, there was no ice water in the tank all weekend (Finnish sauna). 5. It was strange to us that the dinner was not originally served on the terrace. from your employees i was also expecting a question, such as: "How was it, do you need anything, did you like the food, etc.?" 6. When we left the hotel, we also did not get any questions about what the stay was like, whether we were satisfied, etc.
We really expected a better experience, as you have a great location with a beautiful view, romantic ambience and modern equipment. I would praise the chef the most as the dinners were great and above expectations.

The place is beautiful, quiet, but the service does not correspond to 4 stars. The room was uncomfortable. There wasn't even a trash can in the room. There were no mirrors. You can’t even get warm in all three saunas. In the dining room where breakfast is served, the waiter kept walking around and annoyingly checking that no one took anything from the food with them, a bag of tea, sugar, salt, etc. This is not a cheap hotel, but it absolutely does not correspond to this price. I don't recommend it at all.

The location is very pretty, in a quiet valley. Our room (king balcony) was relatively small but nicely decorated; the bathroom did not have a real wall, but great shower and nice décor. There is no air conditioning, which worried me when I found out but the temperature in the room was actually ok (opening the windows). We arrived during a storm and were poorly greeted. The same happened at breakfast, the staff is not very friendly and seem annoyed (probably they are understaffed?). They have lots of old fashioned pension rules such as allocated tables for breakfast and set dinner menu. I had originally asked to have dinner at the hotel but when we arrived we were shown a menu with only a broccoli soup and a dessert as veg options, so we declined. The receptionist said the chef would make something vegetarian for us but without knowing what it was we opted to eat somewhere else. The whole situation was a bit of a faulty tower episode. They claim the set menu avoids food waste but I am not sure how many people choose to dine in. I would rather have a choice and maybe eat one dish rather than be forced to eat a big meal with a sad vegetarian option (baked onions, broccoli soup, hummus). The set menu is quite expensive (50 euro without beverages) compared to other local restaurants. The habit of allocating a table per room (not negotiable) is unpleasant and old fashioned. The restaurant room was stifling in the morning. There is a nice terrace and we saw other guests having breakfast there so we just moved there. The natural pond (with fish) is a little weird. Overall it feels like an old-style pension and it should be priced accordingly, in my opinion. I fell and sprained my ankle and they were kind enough to provide ice for me.

This place really is as good as the pictures! Yes it is on the expensive side to stay here but you pay for what you get in my opinion and this is a magical place and the hotel is worth it. The room is modern and sustainable which I give the hotel kudos for. The breakfast was lovely. The staff were very welcoming as well as the neighborhood cat. The wellness Centre was excellent and super clean, it wasn’t busy at all.
Could be improved: The dinner was on the expensive side and some courses were great but as others have stated the mains were rather bland, they weren’t bad they just could be better for the price. There is another hotel 400m up the road which you can eat at that as not as expensive and one night eating at both was great. The rooms do not have air conditioning and I don’t think they necessarily need them (also I get their commitment to sustainability) however if the windows had fly screens and their was at least a fan this would make it much more pleasant. We slept with the window open but there was a mosquito flying in biting my partner.
Overall it was a magical stay and felt like we were living in a dream and 2 nights was a decent time there.
The rich history of the hotel was also fascinating.

This is the only 4 star hotel in the valley and perfect location for hiking/biking. Food is great , pool (a bit cool for me) and spa are nice places to relax . Treatments are good, tho pricey. The Superior rooms with balcony & valley/mountain views are worth the premium , but try to avoid the ones overlooking the terrace (104-107) as noisy, esp in evening. Best balcony rooms are 108, 109 , 207 and 208. Also recommend you ask to swap tables in dining room so you get different views, and eat on the outside terrace when you can for the superb view. Staff are very helpful , esp the lovely Lara .

my boyfriend and i came here to celebrate my birthday and we were not disappointed! the hotel is clean and nice and we were even able to check into our room earlier than the standard check in time. we really enjoyed the wellness area! our only complaint was that there’s only one indoor pool and the jets from the whirlpool were not working at the time we were there.. also we were there in november so unfortunately it wasn’t possible to swim in the beautiful outdoor pool! we had no complaints about the food- they were very accommodating and communicative to your dietary restrictions and we were very satisfied with the plethora of options they offered. the staff was nice- however, if you do not ask they will not tell you. so if you’re unsure about something or how it works make sure to ask! the bedroom was great and clean, very cute! our only complaint with the room was that the mattress was a bit hard and it was rather cold in the room and we were not able to turn up the heat. however, our overall experience was amazing and we would definitely go back!!

This hotel was a very nice, luxurious stay. There is free parking available, and the staff were very nice. We had a triple room, which for the price, I could say could be bigger compared to MUCH cheaper hotels we have stayed. However, they provide you with comfy beds, a balcony and a bathroom. There are also fridges in the room. however, the wellness centre is the highlight, with a lovely heated whirlpool, nice seating areas, 3 saunas and an outdoor natural pool. All of this is also provided against a lovely view outside a large window. Breakfast provided lots of options, However, food in general is very expensive at the hotel

Response from Nina Plesnik, General Manager at Hotel Plesnik
Responded Jun 23, 2023
Dear guest, thank you for your comment. Logarska valley, nature park, is under government protection as well as a part of Nature 2000. According to this, we are not allowed to change buildings – to make them bigger. This is the main reason that our rooms are not bigger as they are. Hopefully you could enjoy your stay with us and relax. Our cuisine is important with us. We buy most of our products from local farmers, so we can offer high quality food. All guests that book dinner with us, can enjoy 4-course served dinner menu and small lunch with fresh vegetable soup, salad bar and fruits. Welcome to come back.

We are guests who have stayed at the Plesnik Hotel several times, but this time we stopped only as passing guests. Despite our sports equipment (rollerblades), we were kindly received on the terrace of the restaurant. Since I had a minor problem (fall while rolling) to get back to the car, the friendly staff jumped in to help me and made sure to get back safely to the car that was parked outside the Logarska d ramp. Thank you to everyone who, despite the full hotel and their work, served and helped passing tourists
