“Excellent Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2007

This hotel has a wonderful location and is one of those hotels that if you want to have a memorable experience, stay in one of the more expensive rooms. We were there for 3 nights and I booked one of the suites. It was fabulous. It was room 126, had a living room, large bedroom, good size bathroom, and a HUGE deck with a unbelievable view of the sea. It was very clean, updated furnishings and very comfortable. I wasn't too impressed with the breakfast room as it seemed crowded and the view was better off our deck. We ate in the restaurant at the hotel one night and the food was pretty good.

We also prebooked parking at the hotel which is a must. They only have about 6 spaces, but it is right across from the front of the hotel and I think it cost us 3-5 Euros a night. There is basically no parking in Piran except at public lots which are quite a distance from the hotel.

Piran is a good place to have has a base. We spent one day and went to the Postojma Caves which were incredible. The Predjama Castle was also worth seeing. Portorosa was a nearby town that was a great beach town with bigger fancier hotels, but we preferred staying in Piran. Restaurants in Portorosa were better, however.

We would definitely stay at the Hotel Piran again if we could get room 126 again.

“Views to Die For”

This is a very comfortable hotel located right on the seaside promenade of charming Piran. The superior rooms are spacious and well appointed. A very generous breakfast is served on the fourth floor in a room with a sweeping view of the port and town of Piran. There is no parking to be had in Piran if you are a tourist so plan on either a 10 minute walk fromt he large lots on the edge of town or catching one of the shuttles than run back and forth about every 30 minutes.

  • Liked — Wonderful location
  • Disliked — No parking...an issue for all Piran hotels in old town

“Super view but watch out for the rooms!”

This hotel has a fantastic position on the seafront in Piran, with restaurants and the town on your doorstep. We stayed for one night only in Late May and the weather was perfect. We booked a standard double room with sea views, which had windows which opened on to the sea - BUT the room quality was terrible. It is in the older part of the hotel, and felt more than an English bed-sitter than a 4-star hotel. This REALLY let our stay down. Also Piran is terribly congested and as we drove there from mainland Slovenia found it difficult to park - even though the Hotel gave us one of their spaces which cost effectively 3 euros a day. PLUS points : the fantastic Panorama restaurant where you take your breakfast - it has an open terrace with wonderful sea views; the hotel parking which makes it marginally less stressy finding a parking space if you travel by car; the old town which is on your doorstep; and opening your windows directly on the sea. MINUS points : no beach, only concrete platforms and steps; Don’t book a STANDARD room they are a major let-down (suspect the superior rooms are better but there was none available at the time we booked).

“Lovely location”

Hotel Piran is in the best location. It's hotel is right on the sea front and in walking distance of the main attractions.

The hotel staff were helpful. We were first given a smokey room, but went down to change, no hassles at all.

Room
We were rather disappointed with the room as it wasn't a seaview but a back alley view. Which wasn't so bad considering we weren't there for most of the time.

The air con didn't work during one night. Luckily it had been raining that hot summers night.

Can be noisey at night but it doesn't go on distrub the sleep.

Bathroom
Very outdated. Dark and only had a shower. But clean.

Breakfast room
Very small and by 9am, you'll be fighting for space. We were lucky to be sitting on the outdoor balcony (which only had 3 tables). Fantasic views of the sea.
The food was ok - Bread, croissants, cheese, salami, scramble egs, youghurt, fruit, juice, tea, coffee etc.

Overall.
A little disapointed. Abit too pricey for what we were getting. But having said that, I would go back and stay there because of the location and helpful staff. If you can afford to pay the little extra for a Seaview room, i would reccommend it.

not my best ever stay. Fine if you don't mind noise. The night I was there people were jumping into the sea until 3am then it all started up again at 7......no real airconditioning just a noisy fan plus no one mentions that you have to park outside of town and that adds 8 euros on each day!
