Hotel Center Pokljuka

We spent a great weekend cross-country skiing on Pokljuka. We went to Hotel Center for lunch. The food was very nice and the staff was very accommodating. We had some dietary requests and they were very quick in offering a solution. Despite a very busy weekend, when the guests can be impatient, they were nice and friendly.

Now, this only applies to ski teams staying at this hotel for the duration of the competitions. The waiters and receptionists are all extremely friendly and very helpful, there is nothing to complain about. A big minus, however, is the food that the athletes can take from the buffet. The main ingredient of the meals is meat, which is offered twice a day in various combos - this is already too much for an average person and even more so for athletes. However, this is the only form of protein source, as vegetarian options are severely lacking. There are enough side dishes, but 90% of them are deep-fried, so they are not right for these kind of days either. It would be a big improvement for the hotel to think more about the nutritional value of the food for athletes and provide it in both a "normal" and vegetarian version.
