Grand Hotel Toplice

This hotel has enormous potential. Everything is there for it to be a 4/5 star hotel but it’s not there yet.||We were extremely lucky to have their already renovated Lakeview suite. It is stunning and everything about it is luxurious from the gold taps and marble in the bathroom, fluffy towels, heavenly king bed, parquetry floors, and the very large balcony with to die for views of the lake, the castle and Bled island. We did get a peak in the “old” room next door, also a suite with of course the same great views but chalk and cheese in terms of layout, features and feel. I think you would be a little disappointed. ||The lobby, lounges, separate reception rooms could all be absolutely stunning and worthy of a 5 star hotel when done up. I could see they could serve high teas including the famous Bled cake in one room which no one ever used. The beautiful room behind reception with views of the lake, with updated furniture and vases of flowers would make a great meeting area during the day for guests, and then a piano bar in the evening serving cocktails/drinks looking at that gorgeous view before people went through to dinner. It would be such an asset to the hotel whereas now it’s barely used.||The staff at reception, and the guys who parked and returned our car were all excellent, very friendly and helpful. The rest of the staff were just going through the motions. The fact we sat down just before 1pm and wanted to order some lunch only to be told the kitchen was closed unless you just wanted a sandwich was a joke. Definitely not 4 star. ||I’d definitely recommend the hotel for its location and the swimming area in the lake, and if you can book an upgraded room. Hopefully once they finish the renovations they’ll iron out the other stuff because whoever owns the hotel is sitting on a gold mine of potential.

A classic hotel. We were welcomed by staff who parked our car for us and welcomed us with a glass of sparkling wine. We had a lovely room overlooking the lake. We walked around the lake which was great and had a swim in the lake too. The hotel has a really nice lakefront area with loungers and it was really nice to use this area. The breakfast was good too.

We stayed for 2 nights in May. The views are gorgeous and location very convenient. Front desk staff very helpful, kind - especially Marion, who gave incredible tips for sightseeing near Bohinj. Dejan was also very nice. Breakfast was pretty good, not the 5 star service experienced at other hotels in Slovenia. Room service was extremely difficult to access and on the second night I simply brought food to one member of the party from a restaurant in town, as the server in the lobby was wholeheartedly uninterested in helping me order (no one was answering the phone). This was on May 26 if the hotel would like to investigate. One perk - access to the rowing boats, which we utilized to visit Bled Island. Rooms are dated, but scheduled for renovation in 2025/26. Showers need major updating to reduce water leakage while showering/better lighting for getting ready. I do hope they keep the beautiful herringbone wooden floors, which were gorgeous. AC is ok, but it does turn off if your doors are open and doesn't run very cold (we ended up just leaving the doors open, as it was in the 60s at night).

Wow. What an amazing experience with Toplice. Everything, from the absolutely delightful Anja and the rest of the staff during check in, to the incredible service after checking in, the beautiful pool and sundeck overlooking Lake Bled was flawless. Thank you so much for making my family and I feel welcome and for hosting our stay in beautiful Slovenia; you surpassed our expectations.

We chose this hotel because of the five stars, which promised so much. How disappointing! It started on arrival, when our taxi from the airport tried to park directly outside but two staff told us to park further down the road and then made no effort to help with bags. We had chosen the lakeview suite room. The view was indeed fabulous. The room was beyond tired! Peeling wallpaper, creaking and loose wooden floor, bed like a board. But the biggest issue was the bathroom with a toilet seat which was broken and which we had to ask to be fixed twice in a week (it wasn't ever properly fixed) and a bath which had a broken plug mechanism which either wouldn't drain at all or couldn't seal to have a bath. Room cleaning was haphazard (bed turned down twice in five nights) and toiletries weren't properly restocked daily. ||Breakfast was odd! On the first day I asked for an omelette from the menu, it was described as with spinach and cheese so I asked for some ham to be added. The answer was "No, it comes as per the menu". In a five star hotel I don't expect that! On the second day I asked for eggs and ham which were lovely. I asked for a repeat on day three and a plate of eggs was delivered and I was told to get my own ham from the buffet! And finally, when going into the bar for a nightcap we had to search out the waiter both to order and then sign our check. And when we came to check out the hotel tried to charge us for drinks which we didn't have (and hadn't signed for). ||Two small positives - the view from the room (as mentioned), and the reception staff who were all very helpful and frankly rather embarrassed by the poor service and facilities. Perhaps this hotel was once worthy of five stars but it certainly shouldn't be higher than three right now!

We had a lovely stay at this hotel.| We found the staff on reception to be exceptionally friendly .| Our room, which was a lake side suite was spacious and we loved sitting out on the balcony which had a fantastic view of Lake Bled. We heard no outside noise from our room.|The breakfast was extensive and delicious and could be enjoyed outdoors.|The location was very convenient for exploring Lake Bled.

I am giving it 5 stars for the friendly staff the beautiful old world decor and charm of the hotel and the fabulously location. I looked around at the other hotels and I would say this place would be hard to beat. Our beautiful lake side view was awesome. This place is straight out of a fairy tale.

Having come up from Ljubljana having thoroughly enjoyed the city I was not disappointed to see Lake Bled in all its glory. In summer sunshine the reality is better than the pictures. Nature has dealt our Slovenian friends all the aces with this environment.|In top of that GHT was a delight, professional in every aspect from the concierge and reception teams to the staff in the spa. |This is simply a great hotel with private beach and stunning views. Nothing to criticise!!|Breakfast is first rate (I didn’t eat in the evenings) and mirrors everything classy about this wonderful place.|Any stay here will leave you with positive memories made all the better by lovely staff who should be proud of their workplace and gorgeous country.
