Beautiful classic hotel located right in the shore of Lake Bled with amazing service and views. Parking was very easy with ample spots for the hotel right in front. The staff was very helpful in unloading the car and checking us in. Because it was my birthday and our anniversary, they upgraded us to the top floor room with a lake view which was incredible. They also brought us a bottle of champagne which was perfect on the balcony overlooking the lake, castle, and island church. The wifi and air conditioning were superb though we didn't need the AC much with the shutters open. The balcony was incredible at sundown and we found ourselves running back to the room to be there for it each night. Breakfast was very nice in what felt like an old ballroom with a huge selection of hot and cold food. The location was excellent with easy access to the path around the lake and the local restaurants. There was even a dock set up as a beach and a row boat rental for visiting the island.
We also booked massages as the spa. The facilities aren't immense, but were very private and professional. The massage was excellent and super relaxing. Even better, you can use the saunas and mineral pool after. The pool is not heated and stays at the natural spring temperature which feels very brisk, but is nice on a hot day. I couldn't get used to the no bathing suit rule in the sauna but the facilities looked very nice.
