Lovely location just a few minutes down to the lake and there are restaurants and a supermarket very close by. The staff were exceptional - we really felt very welcomed and taken care of. We loved the balcony as it had a view of Triglav and other mountains. The breakfast was very good too. We really liked the home made chocolate - if you stay here you must try it!

The rooms are not air conditioned and get very hot even when it is mild outside - we found the room difficult to cool down even with the window open throughout the night. Minor complaint but the walls seem very thin and there is bit of a gap between the bottom of the room door and hallway, which means you can really hear everything from neighbouring rooms and noise from the hallway - luck of the draw whether you are next to noisy people or not!

Nice family-run hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is absolutely amazing as a starting point for hiking, mountain biking, and various sports. I loved their sauna and made good use of it. The sauna goes hot enough (this can be problematic at some other hotels, but here it can be regulated, so that's really good). Actually, they have a whole nice little spa, and I really appreciated how they decorated it to look like a cave. The restaurant offers really nice dinners, comparable to a fine dining experience. The waiter was really knowledgeable, charming, and able to recommend wine and food that go really well together. The breakfast is simple and doesn't paralyze you with too many choices, and offers high-quality sustenance so you can start your day to enjoy everything this breathtaking region has to offer.

We had a family room which was very spacious and comfortable, so we had a sense of almost being alone in a small mountain cottage. Hotel was practically empty, but the owners and the staff did their best to let us feel that their level of services will remain on the same level. The atmosphere altogether in our room and the whole hotel is great. Therefore you cannot have better stay in Bohinj and you get the best value for your money.

We were a bit dissapointed with dinner options. I had the opportunity to stay in this hotel 10 years ago, and I remember that food was really great, both for dinner and for breakfast. This was not the case now, and we got the sense that this is not their strong point now. Breakfast options were also quite limited, but as I said above, dinner was a dissapointment. However, you can always look for other places in the vicinity.

The food here is exceptional particularly the evening meal. The location is great, only a 10 minute walk from the hotel to the lake. The scenery is beautiful and the added bonus of having a balcony with a table and chairs was lovely. There is a bus stop outside the hotel with hourly buses to Bled and Ljubljana. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good power. We were very sad to leave!

Nothing

What a lovely hotel. Everything was a little bit 'up market' so made us feel special staying here. Our rate included dinner & breakfast and both were great. Then dinner was classy and delicious, the waiting staff wonderful. Breakfast was an excellent buffet, really good thank you. The room was comfortable, good bed. All staff were very helpful, great service.

No air conditioning so it was a little warm until later on. A fan would help. The balcony is great, but the divide to the next room is not full so the poor woman next door got to see me stroll out to the balcony in my underwear. Oh well. Also no jug in the room to make a tea or coffee? Would have been nice, but did not really detract from our excellent stay and the food and staff were so good they still get a 10.

The breakfast was superb, the place itself is lovely.

Upon arrival we were told we got the chocolate package though did not get any welcome drinks, nor the included chocolate bars. The massage received wasnt the type we ordered. Several yoghurts at the breakfast went sour, when I mentioned this via the booking messaging system afterwards, the response I received was in slovenian stating that they come from a farm, so essentially there was nothing they could do. Didnt bother replying. The place is too expensive. Thin walls between rooms.

From the moment we stepped into the Art Hotel Kristal, we knew we had made the right choice for our hiking adventure in Slovenia. The hotel exudes a welcoming atmosphere, perfectly complementing its scenic surroundings. One of the most commendable aspects of our stay was the impeccable cleanliness of the property. It's evident that the hotel staff takes great pride in maintaining high standards, ensuring every corner of the room and public areas are spotless. This attention to detail provided a comfortable and inviting environment, allowing us to relax fully after a day's hike. Opting for the half-board option proved to be a wise decision. As avid hikers, having a fridge in our room was a game-changer. It was convenient to store fresh ingredients for our sandwiches, keeping our picnic lunches crisp and delightful. The inclusion of this small yet significant amenity speaks volumes about the hotel's thoughtfulness towards guests' needs. Another feature of the hotel that we greatly appreciated was the lift. It might seem like a small detail to some, but after a long day of exploring the beautiful trails, having a lift to effortlessly transport our luggage to our room was a relief. It's these thoughtful touches that truly enhance the guest experience. But what sets Art Hotel Kristal apart is its unbeatable location. Nestled in an ideal spot, it served as the perfect base camp for our hiking excursions. The hotel's proximity to some of the best trails in the area meant that breathtaking natural beauty was always just a stone's throw away. Whether we were seeking challenging hikes or leisurely strolls, we found everything we needed within easy reach. In summary, Art Hotel Kristal not only met but exceeded our expectations. With its blend of cleanliness, convenience, and prime location, it provided the perfect backdrop for our outdoor adventure.

While our stay at the Art Hotel Kristal was largely enjoyable, we did notice that the sound insulation between rooms could be improved. The walls seemed a bit thin, making it easier than expected to hear noises from neighboring guests. This wasn't a major issue for us, as our days spent hiking left us so tired that we slept soundly regardless. However, I can't help but wonder if our neighbors felt the same, especially when I spent a considerable amount of time drying my long hair at night. It's a minor inconvenience and certainly didn't detract from the overall wonderful experience we had at the hotel, but it might be something for the hotel to consider improving for the future, ensuring all guests enjoy a serene and restful environment.

Our stay was great! Comfortable walking distance from lake Bohinj. Very friendly staff, our room was nice and clean. Breakfast was delicious and had a wide selection (for sensitivities too e.g. dairy free milk options, corn flakes my gluten intolerant stomach didn't have any problem with). A la carte dinner was incredible. They also have a chocolate shop that sells very delicious chocolate and bonbons. I would support to have more breakfast options for sensitive stomach.

Really nice hotel run by very friendly and helpful staff. The room was well sized and comfortable and ha a small balcony. The restaurant was very good. I had the half board option which offers a restricted choice menu but on all 4 nights the food was exceptionally good and waiter staff very attentive and good at advising which wine to go with the various dishes. I will definitely stay here again.

This is a great, family run hotel. The proprietors take pride in what they provide their guests (rather than in what they extract from guests, as hotels chains do). Great food in general. Breakfast buffet included pastries, bread, ham, cheese and delicious (and unusual for us) pickles. Really good yogurts, nuts, dried fruit. A very cosy lounge area with wood burner and bar. This was a lovely area to play cards in, read a book and enjoy a pre (or post) prandial drink. Very good waiting staff. Well trained and knowledgeable to a level we did not expect. The wines were all Slovenian, and not being very familiar with Slovenian wine (and rather tricky names), we needed the guidance. It was genuinely helpful and delivered with just the right balance of pride, confidence and humility. I am rather glad that the wines were restricted to Slovenian ones or we would have been tempted to ignore them and we would have missed a treat and an education.
