Hotel Starkl

We came to this guest house having spent two nights at a hotel near Piran. We had paid €20 per night more for our stay in Piran, but Guest House Mlino proved to be the better by far. First impressions were not great, when we had to ring the bell and wait at reception for over 10 minutes to be checked in, but it was all up-hill from there. Our room was spacious, very clean, and the beds very comfortable. The breakfast spread was very good, and the restaurant is also excellent - we ate there one evening. The location is first class - right on the edge of the lake, away from the hustle of Bled, with a bus stop and ‘pletna’ stop on the doorstep. We had a hire car, so having a car park right next to the hotel was great. The staff, with one exception, were warm, and welcoming. The wifi, though not first class, was adequate. The more traditional, rather Germanic decor, may not be to everyone’s taste, and does look tired in places. But get beyond this, and you have a real little gem here. Two tips: The rooms at the front with a lake view are slightly smaller than those at the back (where we were), but are still of an adequate size. People with health issues or disabilities, please note that all the rooms are on the first and second floorl, and there is no lift.
