Hotel Bloom is an exception place to stay while visiting Ljubljana! Many things stand out: 1. The staff is AMAZING. They are there to help at every turn. They even called the airport to figure out when our lost luggage would be delivered to the hotel. 2. The breakfast is one of the best I have ever had at a hotel. Self-service coffee/cappuccino machine, sunny side up & scrambled eggs, bacon, cured...

It was a beautiful interior with everything you needed! Central location, but not loud at night. The team at Bloom were incredibly welcoming! They were so friendly on our arrival, helped book us a restaurant for the evening and gave us some fizz to celebrate my birthday! They went above and beyond and I would recommend to everyone! The breakfast was delicious too!
