The hotel is very unique and mused a lot of pine wood in the interior that you can smell the pine tree. I was impressed with Slovenians cleanness. The bath is sparkling clean!!! Definitely recommend. The restaurant breakfast is high quality too. Buffet dinner - what I can say? Better than most buffet dinner. Easy access to the lake. I definitely recommend it due to its cleanness and reinforce of all protocols (masks, hand sanitizer, gloves, etc). made my stay very comfortable. BTW, the room isn’t big big, but good enough size to stay comfortable

So glad I booked this hotel for my birthday and 1st day in Bled. Check-in was a breeze. Amazingly quick and most appreciated after a 90 mins bus ride from Ljubljana. Easy to located beside lake Bled. Do yourself a favor and don’t follow Google map which advise a detour. Stick to lakeside. The room was amazing large, unbelievably so. All amenities included to my surprise; multi channel TV, dressing grown+slippers, mini bar though virtually empty aside a bottle of water and a kettle with a wide selection of teas and coffee. Excellent rapid and free access WiFi. The icing on the cake was a spacious balcony furnished with chairs and table. Oh dig the light underneath the bed. Original! Breakfast was akin to the rest of the services; wide range of choice with even omelettes made to order. The sauna was unfortunately not free but cost only 11 euros for 3 hours. Ok. Perhaps could have been thrown in free for hotel guests like the swimming pool which I didn’t find time to use. Requested a 45 mins pronation to check out time which was confirmed without ado. Had a most pleasant conversation with Helena at reception and was offered a goodbye cocktail before check out!!…

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay, the hotel was very modern, clean, good value for money and the pools and spa were fantastic (free to use for hotel guests). We stayed in a superior lake view room with a balcony overlooking the castle which was great. The staff were very friendly and the hotel was only a few minutes walk to the lake. Would have been 5 star but the breakfast was fairly average. Would definitely recommend!

Our short spring weekend holiday in Bled was filled with the warmth of the first strong sun rays and kindness of the Rikli hotel staff. My princess really appreciated pink macarons, joyful surprise to the room and unique hotel compliment on 8th of March. Enjoyed our room with balcony and best views, great food and spa facilities. The hotel staff made our holiday even more pleasant and memorable for a long time. We'll be definitely returning.

We visited in February and loved every minute of our stay at this wonderful hotel. I had emailed prior to arriving to ask for a gift in our room for my husband. Tomaz , the guest experience manager , emailed me and made perfect arrangements - thank you. We had the most amazing view from our beautiful room which was spotlessly clean. All the staff were very helpful and polite. Breakfast was very good and we loved swimming and resting by the pools . Our daughter loved the cat waitress too ! We will definitely return to this hotel and recommend it to everyone .

Sorry to say but I was disappointed. Paid for a triple room for 3 adults and the room we had was with a double bed and a sofa bed with a thin mattress that is not a mattress to sleep on!! Even only 2 bathrobes and 2 slippers. We complained and they said all rooms are like that. Regarding cleaning are rooms were not being cleaned they just came in to do our bed. No towels changing no showercaps and sanitizer. Only 1 bin in the shower room.

Dear Ms. Natalie L. Thank you for bringing this to our attention once more. Our tradition is always to address the complaints of our guests with care, concern, and efforts to resolve issues and make amends immediately and on site. Needless to say, as much as I would like to restore the facts here on TripAdvisor and since one of the main purposes of online reviews is to highlight areas for our improvement, I have to dispute certain claims you have stated. Given your circumstances of arriving within larger group of vacationers your reservation was arranged as a package deal with the agency of your origin. Without going into too much details you have stayed with us as a single adult in a company of two teenage daughters. Front office team and myself have worked hard to accommodate you, namely we do have different types, styles, and layouts of rooms upon availability to our guests, which all boast varying views of our beautiful Bled vistas, but at the period of your group stay which included New Year's Eve you have declined our offer for the suite with small surcharge. I will keep your additional feedback regarding the cleaning into account as we strive for excellence in all areas. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future, and I have noted your personal preferences on your guest profile, to ensure that you are most comfortable when you book directly with us. I am confident we can provide accommodation that will exceed your expectations. For your further bookings you are more than welcome to contact me directly. With all good wishes, Tomaž Jastrobnik, Guest Experience Manager, SAVA HOTELI BLED

Wonderful New Year at this hotel with other travellers. The hotel is really clean and the staff amazing. Always polite, smiling and easy to talk to. All the COVID tests and documentation that we needed was printed out as and when we needed them. They were very patient. New Year’s Eve when the celebrations got under way there was a lovely gentleman who was the duty manager on that evening called Tomaž Jastrobnik. He was a good sport and ready to rock and roll with all of the guests. Thank you Tomaž, from the lady in room 201 ( Catherine) for the amazing dancing. Every member of staff is a credit to the hotel, the food was excellent every day, however the chefs, waiters and cleaning services in the restaurant excelled them selves with gorgeous food New Year’s Eve. You should all feel proud of yourselves. Let us not forget the wonderful bar staff who were always ready to serve you want ever drink you desired. Front of house at reception could always answer your questions if you had any queries.…
