Hotel Park

Had a wonderful time staying at the Hotel Park in Lake Bled. Booked with Inghams and fly with TUI from Manchester to Salzburg in Austria. After an hour going through Security at Salzburg Airport and collecting our luggage, we boarded a coach for the 3 hour drive to Lake Bled, due to an accident further down the motorway the driver made a detour up through some of the alps. The journey eventually took 4 hours as we dropped off some guests on the way at another resort 1st. When we arrived at the Hotel, we where met by our Holiday Rep who was excellent and check-in was east as the staff spoke very good English. Our room was on the 4th floor which was very clean and comfortable with a balcony and Lake View. We could see the Lake, the castle and St. Michaels Church. There was some trees blocking our view of the church on the island, but that did not spoil our holiday. Evening meal was at 7pm and it was a buffet meal so we could pick and choose what we ate. The selection was very good and the food was very good. All the staff where very pleasant and spoke very good English. It is 8 years since we last stayed in Bled, so prices had risen in that time, and few things have changed for the better. We did have an excellent relaxing holiday which is what we wanted, we walked around the lake each day, in the morning when it was not as hot (around 30+ Deg C). We took the boat over to the Island on the Monday, and on the Friday we took the Arriva bus to Lake Bohinj Most of our purchases we by Cash (Euros), apart from the bus ride where we had to pay by card (only a 20p surcharge by our bank). Handy to keep some change as the public toilets charge 1Euro coin each. The only noise we had was from the stalls on the side of the lake near our hotel, which went quiet by 10pm, apart from the Friday night which went on until around 10:30pm which was much louder, that was the only spoiler for our holiday as we had an early departure at 5am. The hotel provided us with a breakfast package. The tourist tax was a bit expensive, but we found Bled itself to be very clean, tidy and well presented, and not a pothole insight, or broken footpath.

We stayed here as part of a group holiday package. The hotel is well located on lake bled. We booked a lake view balcony room which didn't disappoint. I would be advised if you get a room facing the lake it could be noisier as you have the bars nearby. The room was clean though housekeeping was inconsistent, didn't come some days. The pillows could be improved, you get one full size and one small one, but flat. You get a glass bottle of water in your room. There are tea and coffee making facilities. Only hand/body wash was included no other toiletries. The room has air-conditioning. It was a nice touch having a bag with towels ready for the pool. Room included robes and slippers though you would be better bringing your own sandals to the pool. The pool is a good size. I didn't notice if they had childrens hours, didn't seem to which I think they should. There is one main restaurant where breakfast and dinner is served buffet style. I think the food quality and choice could be improved. Communal areas kept clean. There is a water fountain in the lobby. They is a wine fountain in the restaurant for an additional charge.

Fantastic location. Great staff. Excellent breakfast. Room was spacious and comfortable. We had a lovely lake view (I'm not sure, but we may have been upgraded upon check-in). Very happy with the experience.

First timers in Slovenia. We were part of a Titan travel group tour, there were included and paid for excursions. We only booked the included excursions and after the first day I decided not to do any of them (though husband did) as the local area was relaxing and relatively peaceful. We were on a BB&D basis. Some people were slightly critical of the food, we found enough variety to satisfy us, not sure we'd feel the same if we were there for longer than a week. For once a cook understood me perfectly when I asked for a small cheese omelette for breakfast, I find large omelettes that there's no chance of me finishing quite off putting. Many's the time at various hotels I've asked for a small omelette only to be served with what I regard as the opposite. I contacted the hotel beforehand requesting a walk in shower, a request which was accommodated. The water temperature of the shower was great, instant - no waiting for the water to warm up. I also liked the fact the shower/hand gel was paraben free. The robot waiters were good, in my view they freed waiting staff up to do other work rather than having to carry plates etc through to the kitchen. Our room overlooked the main road rather than the lake, but that didn't deter from our enjoyment of the holiday. The bedroom safe was easy to use and looked quite new. I didn't use the gym, husband did. He said it was good for a hotel gym. The jewel in the crown for this hotel in my view has to be the swimming pool. I've never seen such an attractive pool, with views of the lake and castle, and it's so clean. I used the pool every day apart from arrival (managed a quick swim on departure day). It's probably one of the reasons I was happy to forego the excursions. One interesting thing that occurred during our stay. There were some delegates and conferences (though I understand the talks were possibly at various locations in Bled) attending the Bled Strategic Forum 2026. Lots of police convoys escorting the great and the good to various venues/hotels and close protection type personnel around. Pretty sure some of them were armed, I'm guessing guests at the hotel weren't vetted. There were a few children at the hotel, personally I don't think the area has much for children to do, perhaps at some of the camp sites further away are more suitable.

We stayed five days. The room was clean and it is absolutely worth booking a lake view. The breakfast and evening meal was good quality and varied. The small bar was good with well prepared drinks. The staff were helpful and efficient. For activities we took the public bus to Ljubljana for the day, took a boat trip to the island, swam in the lake, hired a SUP for a couple of hours and took the land train around the lake. There was a summer toboggan ride which was worth it but prepare for queues. Overall, I recommend the hotel and location. The views were stunning.
