Garni Hotel Berc — Hotel in Bled

Garni Hotel Berc is an excellent base for visiting Bled and the surrounding area. The accommodation is spotless. Our room was spacious with a wonderful balcony where we sat most evenings sipping wine from the hotel's honesty bar while we watched the sun set behind the mountains and then were able to gaze at the night sky which was unspoilt by light pollution. ||We slept really well here. The beds are really comfortable. The hotel is in a quiet area a short walk from the bars and restaurants around the lake. So you are away from any noise. ||The breakfasts are amazing with friendly waitresses continually replenishing the supply of fresh bread, cold plates, and hot food. Just what you need to set you up for the day. ||We were also able to do some great long hikes in several directions without having to use the car. Lake Bled is a five-minute walk downhill along a footpath if you want to have a gentle walk around the lake. There is a 6km route round the lake which takes about an hour and a half.||We were welcomed at Garni Hotel Berc by the amazing Luka who went out of his way to make our 10-day stay perfect. Luka gave us such brilliant advice and tips for walks from the front door. Having such a warm, friendly, and helpful host really made our holiday special. Thanks Luka.||Walking highlights include visiting Koca Na Talezu, a mountain hut with fantastic views over Bled. They serve beer, wine, soft drinks and food. Getting to the hut involves a steep section towards the end. It's about a 14km round trip from the door of Garni Hotel Berc. Ask Luka for directions; he will be only too happy to help.||Then there is the rustic farmhouse charm of Monika Poklukar in a small village also accessible via footpaths from the front door of the hotel. There you can sample homemade beer and locally produced cheese. Amazing.||And if you want a short walk really close to the hotel you can climb a small hill called Straza. From the front door at Garni Hotel Berc turn left then follow the lane until it becomes a track. There you will find footpaths up to the top offering great views of Lake Bled. There is also a chairlift (which wasn't open when we were there) which also takes you to the top where there is the option of taking a toboggan all the way down to the bottom. ||And Garni Hotel Berc is at the centre of all this. Ideally positioned for a perfect holiday....

This was our first time in Slovenia, and Garni Hotel "Berc" showed us how amazing Slovenian hospitality is! Everyone was genuinely happy to see us, and everyone was smiling and polite to us. Luka, the owner, gave us a warm welcome and greeted us every morning, and every time we met him at the reception. The lady who was cleaning the rooms also greeted us every morning and was extremely polite and kind. The lady who was preparing the breakfast was really helpful, polite, and exceptionally attentive. She was constantly refilling everything to make sure that everyone was satisfied with the breakfast.

The breakfast also had variety to it, and the hotel's location is perfect. It is close to everything, and it is in a quiet area.

One thing I would recommend for improvement, though, is to put better ventilation for the bathroom, as it can get smelly after usage.

Other than that, it was an excellent choice to stay here, and we'll...
