Great hotel really well located in the old town, breakfast was excellent! Room was adequately sized with a comfortable bed. Not for those that are uncomfortable with a glass walled bathroom!

The staff was great.
The front desk guys were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast staff (Nika (?)) was really terrific.

Stayed for one night only. Arrived late afternoon where an American family was in a heated argument about the cleanliness (or rather lack thereof) of the bathroom in their room (they ended up finding another hotel).
While the state of our room was not as bad as their purportedly was, the housekeeping staff definitely did not do a thorough job. Dust many places, bathroom not as clean as one would have hoped, and it was not possible to get a cleaner at that time. However, staying for only one night, we didn’t want to spend time finding another place.
Some staff was nice and accommodating, some were somewhat snippy.
So, I think this place could be very good, but this particular experience was not good enough.

This was an adorable boutique hotel. The location is perfect in the heart of the old city. The staff were friendly and professional. The rooftop pool was very nice too.

Well located near the river and key tourist spots and restaurants. Breakfast at the hotel was good. The staff were really helpful and attentive. The recommended parking is a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel.

Perfect. Great room. Friendly. Awesome food. Right in the heart of the old town.

I feel obliged to give this hotel a good review even though I checked out early, simply because the staff here is truly outstanding. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the air conditioning during a heatwave, and the room was unbearably hot. However, the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout, and allowed me to check out early with a partial refund. I would not hesitate to come back here during the spring or fall when air conditioning would not be an issue.

The hotel is down a small side street off the main walkway along the river. There are lots of dining options in the immediate vicinity, and the Vander Urbani has a restaurant where we ate breakfast each morning. Our spacious room was contemporary, with a large bath enclosed by a glass wall with curtains for privacy. Double windows shut out the noise from people dining alfresco nearby. We like it, and would recommend to friends.
5.0 / 5.0
Wonderful stylish hotel and restaurant located right on the pedestrian promenade by the river. I had a room open to the side street and it was quiet enough with the windows open. I also relaxed by the rooftop infinity pool in the setting sun. Would have stayed a 2nd night but it was fully booked.
5.0 / 5.0
Great location for exploring the city - everywhere is walkable from the hotel. Hotel has a lovely modern and friendly boutique feel. Staff all very accommodating. Great breakfast included with lots of options and large portions. Only thing visitors may want to consider is our bathroom had a transparent glass wall and door which may not be suitable for all people sharing a room! Not sure if all rooms have this feature.

Very friendly hotel staff, clean, amazing location and very wonderful breakfast. We hope to come back when the roof top and pool opens. The room we got was a bit small and the glass door to the bathroom a bit strange, but overall reomendable and friendly place.

2.5 / 5.0
Very nice hotel, in the heart of old town! Close to shops, bars, restaurants and other amenities.
Room was very comfortable, large with a fantastic view!
Breakfast was amazing! Fantastic choice of dishes to choose from. The hotel doesn’t do buffet style breakfast, but if you book your room with breakfast you get a choice of two dishes from the menu plus an assortment of pastries - fantastic food and very generous portions!
The hotel staff are very professional, helpful and friendly.
We would recommend this hotel!
3.0 / 5.0
The room was full of furniture so it seemed crowded. The design was out dated and carpets worn. The ventilation system runs constantly so it is a little noisy. It was a little overpriced due to the location. The staff was very very helpful kind and responsive.

Very nice small hotel in middle of pedestrian only area next to water way (river?).

The staff was very friendly and helpful. This hotel is located on a walking street so the logistics were a bit complicated, but we received a lot of eager assistance. It was a great location!
5.0 / 5.0
Great staff, outstanding breakfast. Walkable to most everything. Our room was quiet and clean. If you’re staying with someone you might find that you wished there was more privacy in the bathroom, there’s a curtain and glass door with no fan.

Great stay, attentive and friendly stuff, wonderful location and the little pool on the roof top is a gem!
1.5 / 5.0
Boutique hotel in the centre of Ljubjlana. The location was great as was the food at breakfast, and the service in the restaurant, and they did a nice breakfast dessert for my partner's birthday.
However, I was a bit disappointed with the rooms and the standard. It feels that it is in need of an update, the towels were past their best and the bath mat had threads hanging off it. The curtain was hanging off in the room, and there was no fridge in the cupboard in our room. It was clean, but felt tired. The shower made a noise when using the main shower head which could have done with replacing, the smaller one was fine. Bathrobes in the room didn't have a cord to tie it closed.
The upstairs pool is great albeit small (which was expected) but there were two towels there when we got up there, one of which was damp. The one sun lounger has seen better days.
It was therefore disappointing from what we expected, but overall clean and not too expensive. With a little tlc, it could be lovely.

Upon reservation I wrote to the hotel and explicitly underlined that I wanted a room with a solid door to the bathroom.
At check-in we were then given a room without any door to the bathroom.. I complained, but were told that the reception probably not had read my message. I asked for a refund so we could move to another hotel, but were told that was not possible.
I called hotels.com and were told that it was up to me to check that the hotel had reacted to by message...
The hotel is situated in a no-car zone, so we had to push our luggage through the city for 10 min. from the drop off place.
The hotel only starts the breakfast service from 08.00. We asked for a cup of coffee one morning at 07.55, when we had to leave early, but were told that was not possible. 5 min. - a cup of coffee - A 4-star hotel...(we could smell the coffee from the machine behind the waiter).
The towels were every day alle torn and in threads. The beed sheet was never changed during a 4 days visit.

Hotel is in a fabulous location and breakfast was great. Room wasn’t great. Once side of double against window. Bathroom with see through glass and a curtain was odd. Just felt like it was trying to be trendy but the design of the room wasn’t functional. Also torn curtain. Bed was comfy though.
4.0 / 5.0
The location is fantastic. Staff very friendly. We had weak to no wifi which was not fixed. A/C did not work properly which was never addressed. Luckily the weather cooled off. Staff were friendly but seemed a little overwhelmed at times (goes with the times unfortunately). Coffee cups, wine glasses not cleaned up. Not a big deal but a 4 star place should do better

Vander Urbani Resort in Ljublajan is highly recommended in many channels and hence our expectations were high. The FR/ personnel were friendly and polite. We had booked two higher category rooms with river view. The view to river was very limited. The room set up with glass door to toilet & bathroom is dodgy and disgusting - despite of the curtains. The roof top terrace with small drop in pool is nice and has great views over the river & to the castle. Also the location oft this hotel is very central, that means you have to park your car quite far away if you arrive with car as we did. The breakfast starts even weekdays at 8 am (which is very late to any place). There were quite a lot of guests trying to enter the breakfast before that and since it is a la carte set up, it takes quite some time to get anything.

Clean, smart, compact rooms. Spectacular pool over the river. Great central location.
4.0 / 5.0
Very good location! The reception women were very nice and helpful. The rooms a little dated, especially the well-used purple carpet and horrible old sofa couch. Many small bars and restaurants very close. The hotel bar was small tables mainly outside, because the weather was nice, the problem with that is that most people smoked, and we don’t like to smell cigarette smoke especially while dining. We did eat one dinner inside the hotel, and the food was fine, but not great.
Our best meal was at Ta Bar just a block or so away. We also had a nice dinner up at the castle (Gostilna Na Gradu 2000) and a very nice lunch at the sister restaurant in the castle at Lake Bled, with a view of the lake. Makalonca is a nice bar on the river. We loved Ljubljana and Slovenia!
2.5 / 5.0
Great hotel! Had a very nice stay here. Cool, modern layout and design, clean, quiet and an awesome little pool on the roof top terrace! Breakfast was fine, staff lovely and friendly! We will be back :)
