I had one more night in Ljubljana than the others, so I decided to stay at the Art Hotel before moving to the Ibis Styles. I arrived a little late in the evening and received a text from the hotel reminding me that I needed to check-in relatively promptly as their reception didn’t open late. I received this message when just about to enter the hotel, but I was fortunate that there were no earlier issues with the railways or Flixbus.
The team member at the reception desk was helpful and friendly, so the check-in process was efficient and easy. It was a relief to get to the hotel safely, as it had been quite a journey over a few days to get here from Rome, all without any transport issues fortunately.
The room was clean and comfortable, with a bath in the bathroom which I always consider preferable. There was also a kettle, which isn’t something that I can always rely on and indeed the Ibis Styles didn’t have one (well, they had their own, just there were none in the rooms).
I popped to Lidl for a healthy evening snack.
The view from my window over the hotel’s little outside seating area, although it was a bit wet for anyone to want to sit there.
Breakfast in the morning was included in the room rate and I’m perfectly content with bread, olives, tomatoes, cucumber, gherkins and peppers, so this worked well for me. They did have some apple strudel, indeed it’s visible at the top left of the photo, but I forgot to go back for some.
A nice light breakfast with orange juice and yoghurt. I did get myself quite a few more tomatoes and olives, I might well be able to live just on those. Well, assuming Greggs was still open so that I could get a chicken bake or three.
You could pay extra for some more items and perhaps a coffee from the machine should have been included as the filter coffee that was provided was a bit, er, unappealing. I was entirely pleased with the breakfast arrangement overall though, with the room price being towards the lower end of the scale.
Anyway, I very much liked this hotel and found that the welcome was friendly, there were no noise issues and everything was clean and tidy.
And with that, I went to meet the others as they were arriving in Ljubljana, so I’ll now jump back to Trieste where I temporarily left the story….
