When traveling to Europe (or abroad), as a solo female traveler I carefully check each perspective hotel to make sure that it meets my specific needs. I want to ensure that it is in a good, safe location, has excellent reviews, has a restaurant, has a place for an after dinner drink should I desire one, and is easy to get to from an airport, train, or bus terminal. I thought that the Triglov Bled hotel met these very specific criteria.
Unfortunately, I was very mistaken for the following reasons:
1. If you do not have a car, it is not easy to get to the hotel. You are reliant on taxis (more about this later) which are quite expensive, given that this is a resort town. I had to wait over an hour for the hotel to call me a taxi from where the bus drops off passengers.
2. I booked my hotel many months before my actual travel date. The hotel had amazing reviews and spoke highly of its Michelin reviewed restaurant. Unfortunately, there is no restaurant in the evening as they closed it. This is a re ent change and it means you have no access to food. While the town of Bled has really dining options, you are literally forced to spend 30-40 euros round trip to get to your destination. That really starts to add up if you are staying multiple days.
3. The very cute cellar bar that was advertised was closed. They were short a bartender.
4. My room was stupid small. I don’t need a lot is space but if they put you in room 307, decline.
I could go on.
Pass on this hotel!
