Hotels in Ljubljana

Lev is Ljubljana's only 5-star hotel, an oasis firmly geared towards business people, though there are often good deals at weekends to attract leisure travellers as well. The conference centre at this towering hotel, with top views of Ljubljana, is one of the city's most attractive conference and incentive venues. Many guest rooms boast similarly impressive views too. Tivoli Park is just across the street, while the city centre and Old Town are just a short stroll away.

This old-world retreat reclines across a couple of old townhouses in one of the prettiest parts of Ljubljana’s Old Town. Each individual room is woven around the original buildings with some boasting views out over the cobbled streets. Their website has room plans, including one of the split-level family apartment that is the pick of the bunch. The only thing lacking is a restaurant.

What used to be a very run-down hotel has now reinvented itself to offer affordable accommodation just on the edge of the city centre. The tower block design might not win any awards, but for clean, functional rooms with a touch of style, it works well. Free Wi-Fi in the 200 bedrooms and lobby is handy. Rooms are not large, but for those looking for more space, there are family rooms and junior suites.

The location could not be any better as this budget hotel in Ljubljana is tucked just off the city’s lifeblood Prešeren Square bang in the city centre. The rooms are basic, but perfectly clean and comfortable. Little extras include bike hire, notebook hire, free Wi-Fi access and the slightly surreal massage chair, the latter available for 15-minute massages.
