I booked and stayed at this hotel for two nights as part of a multi-stop self-built itinerary. I had often wished to visit Slovenia and our previous stop was Trieste in Italy just over an hour away, so it seemed the fitting that the next step on the itinerary was to travel to Portoroz. We took Flixbus from Trieste which stopped off on the outskirts of Koper before arriving in Portoroz just after 10am. From the bus-stop it was a short flat twelve minute walk to the hotel. First impressions of Portoroz were very positive. The hotel sits slightly out of the main centre, but that is what gives it a peaceful and stand-out setting in it's own right. The hotel isn't large, but looks quietly elegant and imposing as you approach it from the centre, situated on a curve in the road which gives a good view point from the terrace at the front towards and down the road and the sea beyond. First impressions of the hotel were very good. It has a grand circular driveway which showcases the vintage cars on display with a fountain at the centre. We arrived into the wonderful smelling reception area well before check - in time but the male receptionist (after he finally was able to hang up the phone and greet us), was able to check us in and give us a room straight away - which we did not expect. We were given room 202 which is actually between the 1st and 2nd floor and looks across the roof garden at the rear of the hotel. Yes the views were better higher up or front facing, but I was pleased to have a room in the main building and not the annexe, and the room itself was very large, spacious and decorated in a contemporary and fresh/clean way. I really liked the room. The only issue is since it is between floors, you would struggle if you had mobility issues as this floor had steps up or down to the lifts, but not an issue really for us. The room had twin beds, plenty of power sockets, patio doors onto a sizeable balcony with table and two chairs. There was a dressing table/desk with chair and plenty if wardrobe and drawer space. The wardrobe also had a stocked minibar, and free electronic safety deposit box. The bathroom was massive. The shower cubicle itself could have contained all the bathroom ammenities. It was immaculately clean and featured all the complimentary toiletries and accessories we could need. I will say that some of the towels appeared a little frayed and probably needing replacement, but that is all. I really liked this room and the hotel from first impression. We were never disturbed by noise or the cleaners, it was a really peaceful and comfortable stay. We had breakfast on our next morning, and the selection seemed to be quite extensive. Hot omelettes made to order and delivered to the table, different juices and pastries. I thought it was all very good. There were various areas you could sit, both in and out. The terrace at the front was possibly the best option. The hotel does appear to have a separate a la carte dining area for eveni
