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!!

We were originally supposed to be staying at the Hotel Marita nearby, but some building work there over-ran so Inghams very kindly moved us to the Grand instead. We were really pleased about this as we could see the facilities and reviews were much better. We arrived after dinner had finished on our first night so the hotel left us a cold buffet in our room which was a nice touch. We were also lucky enough to be given a high-floor room in the ‘tower’ block with a lovely sea view. We stayed there for 4 nights which gave us enough time to take full advantage of the indoor swimming pool complex, apart from the sauna park which we avoided due to its ‘no costumes allowed’ policy. All the public areas of the hotel are well decorated and maintained and we found the staff to be generally very helpful.

We stayed there on a half board basis so ate all our meals in the hotel’s Adria restaurant. The food and service were generally very good but there was a distinct lack of labelling of the food (in any language) – vegetarians in particular should be wary of ‘hidden’ meat/fish in some of the food. The drinks in the restaurant and the hotel bar were very pricy but we struggled to find any better bars near to the hotel so we were happy to stay put in the evening. The location of the hotel is very convenient for all the attractions of Portoroz and it is a short hop to Piran which is definitely worth a visit. It’s also worth noting that there are a lot of good walks to do in and around the area – you can get maps from the tourist office.

All in all, we had a really great time at this hotel - but just before we left that we discovered the cost of our room had been 300 Euros per night – so we wouldn’t go back there as it was in no way worth that much money. The formerly ruined Palace hotel next door has been taken over by the same chain and is due to open shortly so I think the Grand might face some serious competition in the future.

the hotel is not a 5 star , even if the 5 stars hotels in Slovenia, are not the other in the eurpoean countries.

Room are small , if You are not lucky to have a new one, and not very clean, staff are very rude and they don't know at all the customers satisfaction.

All the wellnes center has booked, and if you don't book one week in advance ( partciculalry the wai Thai center) are fully booked, restaurant not bad but only breakfast tasted good.

In my opinion not an hotel to stay and I will never come back here again.
