The obvious weak point of this hotel is the gloomy concrete exterior, which makes it look like it might not be a hotel at all, and the reception area, which again looks very institutional. In fact, the room was very clean and well appointed, and its location is convenient to the historic heart of Kranj. The restaurant space is quite attractive, with scenic river views and a very good breakfast; had I realized it was so nice I could have avoided scouring Kranj for a decent restaurant the night before.
What tips the scale to my not recommending this hotel is the experience I had with airport transportation, which cancelled out the supposed convenience of staying here the last night before my flight. On an initial inquiry the reception said a taxi would cost about 20 euros, and it was even more when I took a taxi the following day. This is for a trip of 7 km, and my Slovenian friends subsequently confirmed that this was out of line with all normal taxi rates. It's hard not to picture the hotel getting part of this overchange in return for calling this particular taxi service.
Apparently there is a public bus from Kranj to the airport. Better yet, the airport's web site indicates that there are a number of hotels and pensions that offer airport shuttles, some of them complimentary. I would urge anyone staying for a last night to go to one of these places rather than the Hotel Creina. You may miss a pleasant couple of hours strolling the center of Kranj, but you won't be ripped off on the ride to the airport.
