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….)

This is the only 4 star hotel in the valley and perfect location for hiking/biking. Food is great , pool (a bit cool for me) and spa are nice places to relax . Treatments are good, tho pricey. The Superior rooms with balcony & valley/mountain views are worth the premium , but try to avoid the ones overlooking the terrace (104-107) as noisy, esp in evening. Best balcony rooms are 108, 109 , 207 and 208. Also recommend you ask to swap tables in dining room so you get different views, and eat on the outside terrace when you can for the superb view. Staff are very helpful , esp the lovely Lara .

This place really is as good as the pictures! Yes it is on the expensive side to stay here but you pay for what you get in my opinion and this is a magical place and the hotel is worth it. The room is modern and sustainable which I give the hotel kudos for. The breakfast was lovely. The staff were very welcoming as well as the neighborhood cat. The wellness Centre was excellent and super clean, it wasn’t busy at all. Could be improved: The dinner was on the expensive side and some courses were great but as others have stated the mains were rather bland, they weren’t bad they just could be better for the price. There is another hotel 400m up the road which you can eat at that as not as expensive and one night eating at both was great. The rooms do not have air conditioning and I don’t think they necessarily need them (also I get their commitment to sustainability) however if the windows had fly screens and their was at least a fan this would make it much more pleasant. We slept with the window open but there was a mosquito flying in biting my partner. Overall it was a magical stay and felt like we were living in a dream and 2 nights was a decent time there. The rich history of the hotel was also fascinating.

The excellent: the location, luxury, feel, staff. The only downside for one star off, is no air conditioning. Even in May, one evening it was fairly warm, and we would have appreciated AC. The hotel is very fancy, which is not necessarily our cup of tea--ie, dinner is pre fixe. This is in contrast to the only other hotel down the only street, which is very informal. Having checked out the other establishment, the pluses far outweighed this relative negative. The absolute unique plus: You can put on a the provided robe and a pair of flip flops, go out thru the astounding spa area, past the unique pool, up the hillside past the yoga platforms with world class views, and then stand under a beautiful waterfall. I did. Check that off the bucket list.

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.

It is difficult to choose a superlative that does justice to the Logar valley; it is utterly stunning. We (family of five with triplet daughters aged 15) had a very comfortable stay at Hotel Plesnik. Our rooms were beautifully designed and decorated. Ours had a view of the waterfall by the hotel and our daughters looked up the valley. The hotel prioritises sustainability and there are recycling bins on every level. Other reviewers have complained about noise but we had no disturbances at all for the three nights we stayed. The breakfasts were delicious and included much locally sourced food. Dinner is a set menu and I’m sure would have tasted amazing but at €60 per person it would have cost €900 for 3 days so we decided to eat at the fantastic guest house only 100m or so further up the valley for approx €100 for all five of us for each meal. The spa at Hotel Plesnik is excellent and my husband and I had several massages with Maia and Dalya. Just what was needed after a day’s hiking. The waterfall fed natural outdoor pool is wonderful. We swam every day before breakfast and then throughout the day to cool off. Hotel Plesnik is perfectly located for exploring the many paths up into the Logar valley. We walked to the Rinka Slap waterfall one day - pretty easy until the final section - we all jumped in the pool under the waterfall to cool off before walking back. We walked up to the Klemenca Jama ridge another day - VERY steep but beautiful views from the top and a small cafe. We also walked up a neighbouring valley - Robanov Kot - it was much quieter than the Logar valley and also had a pretty - albeit smaller - waterfall at the top to cool off in.

Absolutely beautiful location
