Hotel Astoria Bled

The location is pretty nice, even though the public bathing area nearby closes on the 15th of September, so it’s tricky to find a spot where bathing is allowed in the lake within a 30 minute walk. The breakfast was good and there was a lot of variety.

The room we got was small and the view was in the pebbled raised roof, so terrible. They mostly cater to huge groups of Americans and Germans who come by bus, so a people who just have one room don’t matter to them much. The hotel is not very pretty and did not meet our expectations. Upon arrival the staff were not great, to my greeting and explanation that we have a reservation the gentleman just barked “name?”, which is not a very appropriate response. They advertise that they have a spa and wellness center, the sign in front of the hotel says “open everyday”, but Monday and Tuesday it was closed. We booked it for this as well and only stayed those days. When I went to plug in my charger into the socket I moved the bedside table and found used bandages and toothpicks behind. Overall I would not recommend this hotel at all.
