I stayed few times in this hotel and I must admit hotel is one of the best on the slovenian coast. Hovever there are some things which should be improved.

The spa center is very well mantained and I loved expecially Ayurveda center. But on other hand a restaurant in this hotel doesn't provide Ayurveda food.

The bar in the front opens only at 8 am, what I found a little bit late for early birds.

Lights on the balcony are a little bit annoying in the evening as they are switched off automatically at 11 pm

Grand Hotel Portoroz is a "grand" dissapointment ! Officially claimed as 5star hotel - this must be a local joke. This property can barely be called poor 4star hotel full of group tourists. By saying that I have in mind the guest corridors, guest rooms and its amenities. The highlight is a message in the wardrobe saying that bathrobes are changed every 4 days. If we wished to be changed more frequently we can request that at an additional charge. Very sad looking are also the bathroom amenities that are limited to basics only (cheap soap, shower gel, shower cap and lotion). Bed matresses are extremely old and therefore extremely uncomfortable (I couldnt sleep much), not to mention sheets full of hair from previous guests!!!

To mention some positive remarks: very good LCD TV with exellent channel selection, very good pay video selection, very good breakfast choice of a high quality food. They even serve fresh espresso coffee. The location is also very central and offers walking distance to everything Portoroz has to offer.

Just next door Kempinski opens very soon and it looks faboulous. I will be their guest when I come back, as that hotel will be the only one in the destination offering real 5star experience.

We stayed at this hotel as we were attending a conference, so looking for better hotel. If we had paid this price ourselves for this standard we would have been disappointed, though I do not believe there is any better in the area. The rooms are fine, quite big, clean, free internet, bath etc. I just don't think it is worth $250 AUD a night. The location is as good as can be in Portoroz - right in the centre. Yes, as another reviewer said, not much character in Portoroz - but that was expected. Only problem with hotel was that we were in sea view room which was over night dance thing in hotel that goes till very early in the morning - so it was loud. We asked to move to a quieter room, which we did, but they said none of the quieter rooms were sea view - they were mountain view. So if you are staying here I would suggest you stay in mountain view room, cheaper and no noise and just as good. We could smell smoke in the rooms, as clearly people were previously smoking in rooms. Breakfast is average - lots of variety as big hotel but feels like school camp. Overall though hotel is fine and good, I don't think there is anything better in Portoroz.

Me and my wife love to visit wellness centres and try different massages. This time we have decided to go to Portoroz in Slovenia, to the wellness centre in Lifeclass Hotels & Spa. We tried various treatments in Shakti Ayurveda centre where they have new therapists from India. WOW, the massages were more than great!!! We really had fun. The staff was extremely nice and you can actualy feel real Indian amtosphere! The service was excelent and you really get more for what you pay! We also tried their new renovated five-star beach and all I can say is that this is THE beach!! My wife was smiling all the time and this is definetly a good reason enough to spend our next holidays in Lifeclas!!
