Vander Urbani Resort - a Member of Design Hotels

An ok experience, however I guess I had wrong expectations. The rooms are small (but that's it in the very city center), Zen rooms don't have a desk for light working, the building next door looks directly into the room, hence one has to pull up curtains which obviously makes the room dark. There were only 2 wall plugs that I could find, paradoxically one on the exact opposite side of the room, making charging phones, tablets etc, a bit challenging. Beyond that the hotel has a nice vibe, stylishly decorated and I'm sure it probably comes to life more in the summer, as it has a nice lounge at the roof top. The restaurant at the ground floor is ok. There is no parking at the hotel, obviously since it's in the walking area of the Ljubljana, so if you come with a car it's another ~20€ for overnight parking, just keep that in mind.

Wow what an amazing hotel in the best location in the city, you will not be disappointed. The staff were so friendly, helpful, professional and very knowledgeable. Special mention to Kirill who is so knowledgeable about food and drink especially the local wine, his service levels could match the best at any of the top hotels in the world.

Really lovely hotel right in the centre of Old Town on the main ***** next to the river and all the cafes (and nice shops on the street behind the hotel). Couldn't have asked for a better hotel! There is a bit of noise from the cafes/bars in the evening, but this doesn't go on until late so was not an issue for us. Really good-sized room, very comfy bed and average sized bathroom. The bathroom has a large glass door to the bedroom but there is a curtain which ensures some privacy - I read some other reviews about this and although this is a bit different to most hotels, this didn't bother us enough for it to be an issue. The shower itself was great! Check-in was really easy and the team were always very helpful. Breakfast was also really good (from 8am-11am) - plenty of food and drink options provided including a choice of to A la Carte items - and the staff were friendly. We didn't eat in the restaurant for lunch or dinner, but enjoyed drinks each evening in the hotel bar which has tables out the front/side, which was lovely especially in this hot weather - really nice waiters who were happy to recommend the local wines. I would definitely stay here again! Only a few minor issues: - General lack of toiletires which you would usually expect in a posh hotel - Pillows are a bit soft - Main table in our room had marks which had damaged the table, so it looks a bit shabby
