Hotel Asteria — Hotel in Upravna Enota Ljubljana

This hotel was a 700 metre level walk from the main railway station.||||Pleasant receptionist Anna said there would be ambulances to and from the nearby hospital i.e. sirens blaring.||||What she didn't say was how my room would suffer badly from traffic noise. In 40 years of staying in hotels, I would struggle to recall any other establishment as bad.||||Plus at 2330 hours, there were people talking outside my room.||||The hotel is unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues as there are steps everywhere.||||My bedroom had a double bed, desk, two upholstered backless stools and a wardrobe.||||There was heating and an airconditioner. I searched for the aircon controllef. I could not find. Anna said "the manager had removed them as it is heating season". Since I find European hotels to be stuffy, my ability to turn on aircon was denied. Outrageous!||||The small bathroom had a glass shelf that jutted out too far above the sink. Potentially dangerous.||||The showerhead would not stay in the ideal position. Hot water flowed OK, but the shower repeatedly flooded the bathroom despite my effort to keep the semi-circular shower doors tightly closed.||||WiFi worked well.

We stayed 3 nights in Asteria hotel and loved it. Location is very good, 10 minutes from train and busstation and 15 minutes from the old city. Supermarket is near the hotel. We, a couple, had a big room for 3 persons. The bathroom divided the room in 2 sleeping parts, and we had a small kitchenette and a nice terrace. The kitchenette is not really for cooking, but there is a fridge, 2 hobs and some stuff as glasses, cups..., good for a drink or making a tea. Everything was clean. Airco worked good. Wifi was good too. Breakfast is very good, with eggs as you wish, yoghurt, fruits, , cheese, ham... It consists of a small buffet and a service at the table. It is lovely to eat outside in the patio. The people working there are very, very kindly and helpfull. Next to the hotel is the restaurant "Das ist Walter" with typical plates and good beer. So very easy if you do not like to go far in the evening. I can just recommend...

Staff was very friendly and they personally make breakfast for you every morning. They serve eggs, bread, sausage/ham, coffee, and a limited selection of croissants and chocolatines. No complaints with how friendly and helpful they were.

On the other hand... the room. Tough. The chandelier above the beds make everything look like it's dirty or yellow. It's a very average cleaning job, and the bathroom lighting is extremely dark. The shower overflows with water, so once you step out of your shower, you'll walk out to a nice wet floor towel, too! I slept near the window and there was a very old musty smell that came from the curtains. I don't even want to know when was the last time they washed it but it was probably back in the 1900s.

The room easily deserves a 0 star but the Staff helped elevate the rating.

As for location, you're pretty much outside of the main strip but everything...
