Grand Hotel Toplice - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

You can’t go wrong with this location, directly on the lake with castle views! Staff was very kind. That being said, the hotel is very tired and outdated. If I were to return to Bled, I would stay at their sister hotel down the road as that hotel appears to be renovated.

Stayed for 3 nights in a balcony suite on the top floor. Let me start by saying that this listed hotel has all the romance and old charm of a golden age of travel without feeling dated. The staff were unbelievably friendly, helpful and insightful on making every aspect of your holiday enjoyable, right down to advice on which ATM to use to not get charged (fyi it's one to the left of Devils bar). The room was enormous and spacious with 2 double door to the balcony with 180 views on the waterfront. A lounge area, tea / coffee station with mini bar, large TV, large wardrobe area with safe. Bathroom was classical and spacious with complimentary toiletries. The hotel is only half hour from the airport and a great base from the nearby attractions, lakes and waterfalls. You can walk the lake in non stop in 1 hour 30 and the castle because it's up hill is 45. The hotel does have an indoor spa and saunas , 3 to be precise. The pool although beautiful is uncomfortably cold for my liking...again personal preference and more thermal for after sauna but if want a comfortable swim you might be better off in the lake lol. Interestingly you can use the pool at its sister hotel 5 minutes away, saunas are extra but the pool is heated...ask reception for more details. Breakfast was large and had good variety with sparkling wine and juice on entry, cooked goods are ordered at the table a la'carte style. I can't say enough good things about the hotel and staff and it reminds you why you travel and that special feeling you get when you're in such a place. WiFi is ok, beds are comfy, boat rentals available, room service is brilliant. Just take a look at the photos....you either get that fizz or you don't.

Stayed with friends at the beautiful Grand Hotel Toplice. The lake view rooms were spacious and offer the best views of lake bled and the castle. From the hotel welcome drink through to the final breakfast the level of service and quality of the food and drinks was fantastic. We loved the spa and made use of the complimentary rowing boat. All in all a great stay we would recommend this hotel without hesitation

We stayed here in late September on a driving holiday through Slovenia. This hotel is positioned beautifully on the lake. It is a classic old style hotel with many little charms like real room keys. We were fortunate to get an upgrade to a 2 bedroom suite with a huge terrace. There is a great seafood restaurant right next door and they have their own boats and pool deck. Friendly and helpful staff.

I stayed at this wonderful hotel years ago and remember it fondly. Felt like royalty. My room was old world charm with a large stone balcony that overlooked Lake Bled. Loved the balcony whereas, was able to go out in the morning and night and enjoy a hot drink in the crisp Fall air. In the morning I enjoyed watching the swans take laps along the lake and the fog zig-zag over the Julian Alps' foothills. Right across from my room was the beautiful Castle Bled perched on the side of steep grade (which was alit at night). And, thinking that it could not get any better, at night fireworks went off from pylons that came out of the lake (I am such a kid...love fireworks!). I definitely want to return to Lake Bled and to definitely stay at this hotel!

the view of the lake is like paradise. the staff most helpful. The breakfast was fantastic. The atmosphere is like bygone days. The hotel evokes nostalgia to the last century. We had a wonderful Anniversary celebration.

Excellent location on lake. Public rooms fantastic views. Excellent breakfasts, we didn’t eat there at night but there is a fine dining restaurant open only Fri and Sat when we were there. Downside, our rooms faced away from the lake and there seemed to be a problem with wasps/ ?Asian hornet on 4th floor
