Hotel Grand Toplice

The room overlooked Lake Bed and surrounding stunning scenery , staff at the hotel are very attentive and all smartly dressed. The restaurant served a wide selection of evening meals and breakfast was a delight. Perhaps the highlight was a relaxing evening in the lounge overlooking Lake Bled.

The staff at the hotel was really friendly and welcoming. The waiter at the Juliana restaurant was really helpful with choosing the food from the degustation menu and helped us get the gourmet experience we were looking for. The pool with thermal water had 22 degrees and in the morning it was quiet and relaxing, and offered a perfect morning refreshment before an equisite breakfast with champagne which they served as it was my birthday that day. Decor at the hotel shows that this hotel is a bit old and the rooms are a bit dated but the whole experience was very nice, and it felt luxurious. The prices of the food are a bit higher than similar restaurants in Bled but here you can enjoy the unique views at a table right at the shores of the lake, and this makes Grand hotel Toplice equisite. The rooms with double bed have a nice entry with a lot of storage closets, there is a small salon which can be separated from the bedroom itself with a curtain. The balcony in my room was a large one, offering views of the island and the castle and the surrounding mountains. Although some things are a bit dated in the hotel, this hotel is unique and offers not only a lot of history (since presidents, kings and queens and diplomats stayed here) but also a truly amazing experience because of its staff and the location and service, and one can really enjoy a nice quiet stay here.

This hotel is in a spectacular location with amazing views of lake. The staff are mostly very friendly and helpful, and the rooms clean. The reception rooms are beautiful. However ,bedrooms are tiny ( at least mine was) , smallest hotel room I have been in and did not feel 5*.Small things like no hair conditioner, and a remote control for tv with a battery cover whilst minor added to frustration that I paid for more than I got. My view was of a wall, had to keep window open as despite turning radiators off it was like a sauna. Conversely the swimming pool whilst looking enticing was icy cold . I was with a tour , so not in restaurant. Food was mixed , definately style over substance, sometimes it was lukewarm .I will take up some of these issues with tour company. If you have mobility issues , the stairs down to the dining room will be an issue.
