Nice location, the hotel itself is average. Breakfast a little below average.

Firstly, most things were fine. A little sterile, but for character go and stay at one of the lovely pensions nearby. They were all booked up when we visited, however.

The room was fine. Location - fine. Breakfast - fine. Pool - quite nice wth a lovely view of Castle Rock. Customer service was a little chilly. I found warm welcomes few and far between. I think that might be a cultural thing, though. You have to work harder for a smile in Slovenia.

The big problem I had was the taxi transfer they were trying to push on us. I asked at reception for bus times to Kranj - the town nearest the airport - so I could pick up a taxi from there. Reception told me there were no buses to Kranj and that I should pay 55 euros for the Hotel Kompas taxi transfer service. A quick visit to tourist information confirmed that I was being misled - buses were running straight to Kranj, no problem at all. About 4 euros for a half hour journey.

In any case, there are direct taxi transfers available from elsewhere in Bled for 35 euros. I hate it when hotels try to rip you off, so this took the hotel from average to poor for me. I left feeling angry.

Lake Bled, however, is lovely. Wherever you stay, you will enjoy being by the lake.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights. We picked it because it was well placed in the centre of Bled and reasonably priced.

The room was fine, a bit small and dated, but we weren't paying top dollar. A nice view from the balcony over to the lake and castle. We didn't eat here, but the restaurant didn't look amazingly enticing. The front desk staff were very pleasant at all times.

A perfectly fine place if you're planning a night or two in Lake Bled and don't want to break the bank, but probably not the best choice if you're planning a week's stay.

We booked two nights in September. Room comfortable, breakfast poor, staff - the only three we saw were helpful, though only one spoke English adequately. Facilities - bar/coffee shop although listed as being open till late was only open 7 till 9, restaurant did not appear to be open at all when we were there. When we complained about the lack of facilities, after all it turned out that our E115 per night only gave us bed and breakfast in what was supposed to be a four star hotel, we were told that the closed facilities were available in the Best Western Lovec next door. Kompas appears to be used as an annex to the Best Western Lovec and when not full the bar/coffee shop/restaurant do not open. This probably applies to the swimming pool, fitness etc. but we did not try to use these facilities. The information that the facilities were not always available was not on the hotel's website, the guest information in our room, or provided to us at check in - only when we complained on checking out. Must say though that on our complaint our bill was reduced by 10%. On the day we left the management appeared to be showing people round the hotel, and, surprise, surprise, the bar etc. opened. However this is not a four star hotel just an up market B&B. Good location though with only short walk to the lake. Definitely not worth the 115E we were charged per night.
