Hotel Kompas, Bled

I wish I could post pictures. First off this is not a 4 star hotel by Western European or American standards. It is too old and has too many problems to earn that status. It isn't horrible, but in that typically Eastern-European Slavic way everything is just a little bit messed up, just a little bit off from the way it should be. For example, they chose white carpets for the whole hotel, white carpets which are now horribly stained from the hallways to the bedrooms. I'm sure they looked good, for about a week. The hallways are not quite level and not quite straight. And there are other architectural failures, like some rooms that don't have balconies or proper windows. Oh, and then the mold in the shower. And the peeling paint on the ceiling. And the insanely loud bathroom fan that is clearly broken. Peek under or behind any piece of furniture and you're going to find a lot of dust and dirt. They do not properly clean these rooms. 10 Euro to use the sauna, 15 Euro to have a pet with you, crib charge, etc. They stick you with charges everywhere they can. Again in Slavic fashion, the gym is old but effective. You can actually lift heavy in this gym and do squats and deadlifts. It isn't one of those "cardio and 10 kilo dumbbells only" type Western gyms. So that's nice.

Old hotel but Bled is so amazing that it didn’t matter too much. Services are good but it’s important to remember you’re going to an old school wellness hotel and the hotel, whilst clean, looks like that. Would still recommend as it was one of the most affordable in the area when we were there - definitely would recommend bled! SO gorgeous! Also would recommend the massages there - very good!

Horrible. Over a lengthy vacation in Eastern Europe, this was by far the most expensive hotel we booked all trip... we planned to splurge a little, get a great room at nice resort on beautiful Lake Bled to close out our vacation. Instead we were greeted with a hotel room that smelled like vomit. We were shocked that any hotel anywhere in the world would consider it okay to offer this room to anyone. We, of course, asked for a new room. After more than 20 minutes of fumbling at the computer, we were offered a different room. This one had absolutely terrible air conditioning... barely a hint of air coming out, and this was a hot, summer in Slovenia. We couldn't sleep. Had to try to sleep above the covers. Miserable. When we asked about this at the front desk, the agent shrugged and told us this was the case with the entire hotel. So, there you have it. At breakfast we were met with filthy napkins which looked like someone had cleaned a rusty boat with them. That was enough for us, and we cancelled the remainder of our reservation and (with help from Hotels.com) moved to a different hotel. It had no AC, but it supplied the room with two excellent fans that kept us cool and comfortable... and for LESS money. Sorry folks, but avoid this one.

Great location and friendly staff. The pool was great! I do travel frequently and I must say that I expected a little more for what we paid. The hotel could use some upgrades to take care of the signs of wear and tear. The breakfast was beautifully setup but lacking in flavor and enough variety. The room was on the small side but having the balcony with a view was a plus. Shower floor was a little beat up. We made great memories here but should we return, we'll most likely stay elsewhere.

You can comprised for many an unexpected things in your vacation, but one thing you are not – the quality of the WIFI. It was just an awful experience. We spent more than 4 hours just to make a reservation to our next stop. The internet connection was very very slow and crashed every short time. Sometimes there was no connection at all. According to the reception, it caused by the Chinese group that stayed at the hotel this evening, using many internet devices…… The spa and the swimming pool are very simple. It cost 10 euro for the spa. The swimming pool is free to use. Breakfast was more than good, tables not crowded and a lovely space and atmospheres. The staff in the restaurant was just perfect.
