"Thermal park suitable for families with various pools, slides and hot tubs where you can relax. Highly recommended for spending a day with children. You can also eat at the restaurant with a reasonably priced menu."

"*Lovely large apartment with balcony and nice views. *Friendly lady on reception helped us book in and with any queries *Nice location in the middle of hills (there is a road out the front but it isn't noisy) - check beforehand for any walks you can do *25 minute walk to Laško where there is the train station and a big Spar if you need to buy groceries for the well equipped kitchen *Bookable VIP spa room to yourselves for 2 hours was great, including fruit to nibble and a cocktail (make sure you book in advance as we ending up booking for 3pm which wasn't as romantic as going in the evening). We didn't have a massage as we hadn't booked but I liked that there was the option. *Continental buffet breakfast was very nice View things to note: *The aircon wasn't working but it turned out we needed to ask at reception for the remote control, then it was fine! *Be aware there's no restaurant at the hotel. The restaurant nearby was booked for a function so we walked in to Laško and had a surprisingly nice meal at Hotel Špica *The listing photos are misleading as the hotel does have two VIP spa suites and does massages BUT the wooden playground, fancy swimming pool and water park inside the large dome is off-site at a different hotel which is 15 minutes walk away on the other side of the river (at Hotel Thermana Park Laško)."

"Hotel Sofijin Dvor delivers a mixed experience, combining competent spa services with dated accommodations, though set in a truly stunning mountain landscape. The spa team is well staffed, with knowledgeable masseuses and estheticians providing prompt, professional service, though treatments feel more functional than indulgent. The mineral waters, maintained at 33°C, may seem cool to those expecting a true hot spring, but the sauna facilities are extensive, offering every type imaginable and a fully European experience that requires nudity. Guest rooms are spacious with high ceilings and comfortable beds, though decor feels cold and tired. Paint, wallpaper, and hallway carpets are in need of renewal, and showers lack adequate water pressure. Pillows are firm unless swapped via the hotel’s pillow menu. Staff are courteous but reserved, providing efficient yet impersonal service. The reception lounge is a highlight—attractive, comfortable, and served by a quick, attentive barman. A friendly resident cat roams the grounds and lounges, adding charm and warmth to the surroundings. The full-board dining experience is varied but only satisfactory. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in a large cafeteria-style setting offering mainly local fare. While there is ample variety, the dishes feel more like home-style cooking than refined, chef-driven cuisine. A more intimate à la carte dining option is available at additional cost for guests seeking a finer experience. The hotel’s setting in the Slovenian mountains is its greatest strength, with breathtaking views and numerous walking trails, some historically significant. Walks through nearby towns are peaceful and scenic, ideal for leisurely exploration. Overall, Hotel Sofijin Dvor offers a satisfactory stay best appreciated for its serene natural surroundings and solid wellness facilities rather than luxurious comfort or gourmet dining."
