Hotel Plesnik Logarska Dolina

Very pretty hotel with in a beautiful valley. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the beds were very hard. The food is all from local produce , lovely and beautifully presented but a bit expensive. The evening meal though does include a light lunch of salad and soup. The hotel is directly opposite an entrance to the Logar valley Trail. We turned right along the trail through the forest to the source of a stream. Very pretty, well marked trail, lots of benches to sit on at viewing points. Took about 30 - 40 mins each way. A top tip when coming is not to choose the shortest route the sat nav gives as it takes you over the top of 3 massive mountains and through a corner of Austria. While we were there we went on a tour at a local farm ( guide : Mojca Ošep ) which was well worth it. Lovely place for walking. The spa is a nice place to sit and read if the weather isn’t good

Great spa and the view, amazing! Spa is opened until 10pm that is a great benefit. Rooms are very spacious, balcony with a pool and mountain view. They offer small lunch from 12pm on the day of arrival, some salads, soup and cheese. We were missing some local sweets so we order for extra charge. Dinner is nothing special, main course was good, but we expected more from a 4* hotel for that price. Overall, it is a nice experience but a bit overpriced. Some services could have been easily improved (extra towels in spa, individually made eggs for breakfast, sauna with mountain view not only underground etc….)

Absolutely first class hotel. We stayed for 7 nights to be in the magical “hidden valley”. Our room had a Mountain View and balcony. Room was spacious,very modern and had all amenities. Very comfy bed. We had the 5 course evening meal which was excellent and varied every night. The Slovenian wines list was superb. We came to the Logar valley for walking and cycling. The e-bike hire at the hotel was top notch. We very much enjoyed the superb spa facilities, yoga classes and massages. However the best thing about this hotel is the helpful and friendliness of all the staff.. nothing was too much. We will definitely return to the Plesnik Hotel

The location is very pretty, in a quiet valley. Our room (king balcony) was relatively small but nicely decorated; the bathroom did not have a real wall, but great shower and nice décor. There is no air conditioning, which worried me when I found out but the temperature in the room was actually ok (opening the windows). We arrived during a storm and were poorly greeted. The same happened at breakfast, the staff is not very friendly and seem annoyed (probably they are understaffed?). They have lots of old fashioned pension rules such as allocated tables for breakfast and set dinner menu. I had originally asked to have dinner at the hotel but when we arrived we were shown a menu with only a broccoli soup and a dessert as veg options, so we declined. The receptionist said the chef would make something vegetarian for us but without knowing what it was we opted to eat somewhere else. The whole situation was a bit of a faulty tower episode. They claim the set menu avoids food waste but I am not sure how many people choose to dine in. I would rather have a choice and maybe eat one dish rather than be forced to eat a big meal with a sad vegetarian option (baked onions, broccoli soup, hummus). The set menu is quite expensive (50 euro without beverages) compared to other local restaurants. The habit of allocating a table per room (not negotiable) is unpleasant and old fashioned. The restaurant room was stifling in the morning. There is a nice terrace and we saw other guests having breakfast there so we just moved there. The natural pond (with fish) is a little weird. Overall it feels like an old-style pension and it should be priced accordingly, in my opinion. I fell and sprained my ankle and they were kind enough to provide ice for me.

This Hotel is really not the calm place it advertises itself as. The main bar terrace is below the Mountain View rooms which are very small, and opposite it is a guesthouse that at the time of my visit, was occupied by the local motorbike club. This is not the hotels fault, just a heads up. They have no competition and how they run their business is up to them, but for the money I would have hoped for better.

We had 7 nights here on half board with a package. The location and valley the hotel sits in is utterly breathtaking and hard to beat. It’s very easy to relax either at the hotel or in the nearby forests on the numerous walking trails. The food at the hotel is excellent particularly the breakfast which places large emphasis on freshness and locally sourced ingredients. Now to the negatives… We booked a Mountain View room as many previous reviews suggested. Was it worth it? Probably…just. This is because there is a terrace directly beneath the balcony which produced noise and disturbance several times- notably late at night on one occasion with a large group of business people were enjoying themselves, something which the hotel seemed unable to control as they had closed the reception so we couldn’t complain about it! Food- my wife is vegetarian and whilst mostly she was well catered for, sometimes the creativity and effort was lacking. For example, one night the meat option was simply replaced…by an additional carrot. Overall though these minor negative points are intended for the hotel to improve still further what is a truly special place for a relaxing holiday. A hotel that I would very highly recommend.
