City hotel is located in the heart of Ljubljana, one of the most relaxed capitals in the world, where castles and dragons rub shoulders with trendy coffee shops and a lively night life. This pleasant 3-star superior hotel offers 197 comfortable rooms where you can rest after a busy day of exploring the capital. But your exploration of Ljubljana doesn't end when you enter your hotel room, because we brought a bit of the city inside each room with a photo wallpaper showing the magic of the city through the lens of the renowned photographer Žiga Koritnik. This way, you can dream under the Dragon Bridge, the Cathedral or another surprising, yet undiscovered corner of the city. We offer more than just comfortable rooms and a friendly staff. The hotel has a fully equipped conference centre with four conference halls, a sunny terrace with lush greenery and a gorgeous view of Ljubljana Castle, a fitness centre, a restaurant and bar. In addition, we offer an internet corner and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. For rainy days, we recommend you browse through our book case, next to which you will find a comfy reading area. Here, you can spend many pleasant hours curled up with a good book and some hot cocoa to keep you company. If you are visiting in your own car, you can use our underground garage. We also provide free bicycle rental for carefree exploration of Ljubljana, as the city centre is closed to traffic. We have a variety of guests staying with us, from business people to young couples and families who wish to stay as close as possible to the romantic old town. The hotel is easily accessible from all main roads entering the city. It is located right where the traffic-free area begins and is easily accessible by a car. The main bus and rail station is only 400 meters away and the Jože Pučnik airport is located 25 kilometres from the hotel. City Hotel is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to explore other parts of Slovenia as well. It takes just a little over an hour to reach the magical Slovenian coast and take a walk down the cobblestoned alleys of medieval Piran, enjoy a delicious sea-food meal or party in Portorož. You can just as easily drive to Lake Bled that looks like it came out of a fairy tale or explore the breath-taking underground world of the Postojna Cave.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Detailed Reviews
Enjoyed this hotel overall and much better than expected. Travel agent sold this as a 3 star hotel, however its possibly the best 3 star I have stayed in and exceeded expectations. Room was well appointed with good facilities such as tea and coffee, in room safe, hairdryer and toiletries. Main issue we had was that the room was very hot as heating was fully on and no air con due to time of year, otherwise almost a faultless stay. This did make it hard to sleep at night and keeping window open meant it was noisy due to traffic outside etc.
Breakfast was good, lots of options so great great to fill up before a day sightseeing, hotel bar also good with light snacks such as toasted sandwiches and cream cakes which were great value for money and a nice space to chill after a long day. Location was very central, no more than 10 to 15 minutes walk from many attractions/ points of interest. Hotel also helped to book airport transfers and gave us details of a company for tours to Lake Bled which were very good and picked up outside hotel (Slovenia explorer tours). A little tip is if you don't want your room cleaned there is a thing you can hang on your door and get free drinks in exchange for no room cleaning (not available for day you check out).
Only downsides apart from as mentioned above was food seemed to stop early in restaurants and adult TV channels very easy to access with no lock.

Firstly this hotel is located in a central position with everything in Ljubljana easily accessible by foot.
It is a modern hotel and is very clean, efficient, and well ordered. The rooms are a decent size and some have views over the castle. The breakfast has good choices with a wide range of options. It is also served for four hours which makes it easy to fit into your schedule.
Service was attentive and helpful. There was a nice touch in that if you felt you didn't need your room cleaned you would get a voucher for a free drink at the bar.

We had booked four nights at the City hotel, a modern hotel with a central location and proximity to "everything" and also just a short walk to the bus/train station where there are buses to the airport. At check-in, we were upgraded to a "Deluxe Terrace room" on the 7th floor, where we got a lovely view of the city and the castle. The room was large and had all the amenities you could wish for. Some examples: Espresso machine, bathrobes, slippers, umbrellas, iron/board, refrigerator, large safety box, good wifi, complimentary bottled water, etc. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was large with a decent shower and two sinks. The room was quiet and peaceful. The lifts worked well and there were never queues. Large breakfast buffet with both hot/cold and generous opening hours. Nice service oriented staff. We will gladly return to this hotel and it is a hotel we can recommend to others.

Everything was excellent in terms of location, hospitality, comfort (in a double we also had a sofa), cleanliness and courtesy. In the room we found a kettle with various herbal teas and a liter of brick water. Very good and varied breakfast (sweet and savory), the only flaw is the coffee which, like in many Slovenian hotels where we have been, is freeze-dried (but at the bar, for a fee, they have the good one). True that it is expensive, but it is a capital hotel in a central location. Be careful because the car park does not have enough spaces, you need to contact the structure (it is explained), otherwise there is a small paid car park in front. There is also one a little further away but more spacious, however you can stop to unload your luggage

We stayed here for two nights in January 2023 in a room for four people (two adults + two adult children).
The hotel is extremely well located about two blocks from the main centre of activity, and a five-minute walk to the funicular up to the castle. To walk from the bus/train station it's about three blocks (five minutes). The bus station is essentially a small building by the train station and that's where long-distance buses come and go and from there you can also take the bus to Lake Bled.
When we left we took a taxi to the airport (about 25-30 minutes away) organised by the hotel for 33 Euro.
Our room was one of the best rooms for families that we have come across with two large beds facing each other, although each of the two beds is essentially two individual beds pushed together. There was plenty of space for the four of us. The bathroom was large enough. There was a small safe (not large enough for laptops) and a jug for boiling water with tea and coffee supplies. The room was quiet. There was good storage space for our suitcases and to hang our coats, and shelves for our clothes and other items.
The breakfast buffet was ok, although the hotel has to do something about the coffee situation as on both days there were queues to use the two coffee machines. One of the machines was extremely slow. Get it fixed!
If we return to Ljubljana we will certainly stay here again.

An absolutely lovely hotel in the city center; walking distance to the bus station.
We found our rooms to be excellent. The layout of the double room was something new for us and so smart! Beds separated by a wall (no doors), but certainly helps with privacy. Loved it. And very clean!
We have to make special note of the most-accommodating staff! Maya at the front desk was a wealth of knowledge and assistance! She gave recommendations for travel, restaurants, location of ATM's, etc. And even assisted us with lost luggage arriving from the airport.
The cleaning staff was also very accommodating and friendly, especially when we asked for some special accommodation.
The breakfast was great. Some of the best we've had in Europe. A great variety of fresh foods, including hot foods, juices, baked goods, etc. Absolutely loved the breakfast here!
We can very highly recommend the CityHotel Ljubljana!!!

City Hotel Ljubljana delivers a good experience for travellers seeking comfort and convenience in Slovenia's capital.
Few Points:
1.The hotel's breakfast is a highlight, featuring a variety of delicious options to fuel your day of exploration.
2. Situated in a prime location, City Hotel Ljubljana provides easy access to Ljubljana's attractions. Old Town is just 5 mins walk from the Hotel.
3. Cordial front desk staff, warm as should one expect.
4.While the rooms may be slightly smaller in size, they are thoughtfully designed and perfectly adequate for a comfortable stay.
Despite the cozy dimensions, the rooms are well-appointed with all the necessary amenities. And Noise free.
Overall, City Hotel Ljubljana offers a solid choice for travellers looking for a centrally located, 10 mins max walk to main Train/Bus Station (which are adjacent to each other).

Great service from the staff at this hotel. Especially Maya one of the manager’s at the front desk was absolutely great and very helpful.
For a person that usually stays at a particular brand of hotels, due to the close proximity to the town centre I chose to stay at the City Hotel and was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness, the politeness and helpful staff, the breakfast, closeness to all the attractions all made my stay in this hotel a very pleasant experience. Maya in particular was wonderful, in addition to helping to contact one of the tour leaders who had delayed to turn up and overall her attention to detail, care and service during my stay deserves 5 stars and made my first visit to Ljubljana pleasant from the hotel stay perspective.

Good standing hotel, spacious. Room well arranged but the bathroom is small and there is no partition to close it. Annoying for the toilet anyway. We couldn’t adjust the temperature. It was very hot, even stopping me.
Breakfast in a large and very noisy room, buffet food is varied but the quality is not worth a 4 star
Its location is very good, allows walking throughout the pedestrian city center

After much debating about where to stay for two nights in Ljubljana, I am glad I chose City Hotel. The location was perfect for both exploring the old and new town, and getting to and from the train station, a 10 minute walk away.
The room was so peaceful, especially as the window overlooked the centre of the building, a view into the reception area from above, which meant there was absolutely no street noise. The staff were exceptionally helpful. The bathroom was lovely and had a good shower and breakfast was great. I’d stay here again without a second thought.

Dear Rachael,
We offer our guests the possibility to park in our underground garage for additional 18€ for a car or 9€ for a motorbike per 24h.
The number of parking places is limited that is why we recommend reserving it together with the room.
However, there are some other possibilities. There is public parking available near the main entrance. It costs 1,20 EUR per hour from 07:00 to 19:00 and 1,80 EUR for the whole night. Another possibility is an underground garage a few minutes on foot from us, on Komenskega street No.30 for 15€ for 24h.
Feel free to stop by our main entrance to unload your baggage and ask for advice at the reception.
We are looking forward to your visit!
Best regards,
Jurij - Head of Reception
No not noisy at all, although a city not a big population at all. HTH
