Grand Beautiful Hotel in iconic location on Lake Bled
Pros:

We loved the location right on the Lake, it is also invaluable having the private Beach club area to sunbath and swim in the Lake itself, which has two lifeguards and a waiting service if you want drinks and food while there.
We really liked the Breakfast very nice selection and clean, ordered not chaotic, spaced out - lots of tables and space not all on top of each other.

Cons:

The Hotel in a few months is going through a big refurbishment program as it is very dated and old (100 years) probably last renovated in 1995-2000 maybe, the Hotel is great though and ideally situated to walk to the Castle and sites in the town, restaurants, bars, cafes, also for the walk around the lake which takes around 1.5-2 hours depending how long you want to take.

Top Lage, Zimmer etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Pros:

Traumhafte Lage direkt am Bleder See mit Zugang zum See; tolle Früchstücks-Terrasse mit Seeblick; klassisches Grand-Hotel-Ambiente in Lobby, Bar und Restaurant; motiviertes, freundliches und zugewandtes Personal; Degustations-Menü im Restaurant mit sehr gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis (nicht im Hotelpreis inbegriffen).

Cons:

Zimmerausstattung etwas in die Jahre gekommen und kein angenehmer Geruch im Bad; Auswahl beim Frühstück zu eingeschränkt für den Preis und ein Fünf-Sterne-Hotel (kein schlechtes Frühstück, aber z.B. keine Fischauswahl oder frische Säfte im Angebot); daher Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nicht ganz angemessen.

Beautiful stay on Lake Bled!
Pros:

Being right on lake Bled and the charm of this historic charming hotel. Staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with views of lake bled. Our room was upgraded to a suite to accommodate two sleeping areas. Swimming off there private deck was amazing!

Cons:

Showers need an update. I read renovations are happening soon, but I still wouldn't hesitate to stay again regardless.

A luxurious stay in a stunning environment
Pros:

Our room, with a lakeside view was wonderful, as was the size and comfort of the room. every member of staff that we met was very friendly and helpful, especially Svetlana in the dining room, but they all went above and beyond.
This was a really 'grand'hotel with old fashioned luxury and comfort. it looks as if the upcoming renovations will keep this very special atmosphere.

Cons:

Nothing at all.

Wonderful location excellent service but dated bedrooms and facilities
Pros:

The location is perfect right on the lake with wonderful views ,the staff were friendly and helpful most of yhe public rooms are quite grand with fantastic views but a little dated. The breakfast was good with an excellent choice. Spa good spring water pool lovely. The lakeside bathing area was comfortable great views and direct bathing in lake

Cons:

The hotel is very dated the bedrooms are comfortable but not luxurious and the bathrooms have old showers old fashioned tiling ,they are very clean but not at all what one expects of a hotel of this standard. I understand that s major refurbishment is planned which will hopefully keep the character out add some modern luxury

Pros:

Izjemna lokacija, čudovita zgodovinska hiša in povsem dobre sobe, vendar žal storitev danes ne dosega ravni, ki bi jo pričakoval od petzvezdičnega Grand Hotela Toplice.

Največja težava ni potreba po prenovi, ampak pomanjkanje osnovne operativne discipline, hotelske kulture in predvsem vidnega vodstva. V času bivanja praktično nisem zaznal osebe, ki bi hotel dejansko vodila, spremljala delo zaposlenih in skrbela, da se standardi dosledno izvajajo. Veliko tega, kar osebje počne, zato deluje povsem naključno in neusklajeno. Edina oseba iz vodstvenih prostorov, ki sem jo občasno opazil, je bil g. Jastrobnik, vendar kot gost nisem zaznal konkretnega učinka njegove prisotnosti na kakovost storitve ali organizacijo hotela. Glede na stanje hotela se zato težko izognem vtisu, da takšna vodstvena funkcija trenutno nima pravega učinka.

Posledice so vidne na vsakem koraku: ni večernega turndown servisa, kopalniška kozmetika je generična, po hotelu so pregorele luči, zajtrk je podpovprečen in naleteli smo celo na slabo sadje, na hotelski plaži pa ni ustrezne strežbe pijače. Tudi usposobljenost, uniforme in nastop dela osebja ne ustrezajo pričakovanemu standardu. Kot slovenski gost sem bil večkrat avtomatično nagovorjen v angleščini. Zvečer je pianist v elegantnem lobbyju igral v športnih oblačilih in gojzarjih, z notami na telefonu.

Vse to so na videz malenkosti, vendar je luksuzni hotel pravzaprav sestavljen iz takšnih podrobnosti. Predvsem pa mora nekdo skrbeti, da te podrobnosti niso prepuščene naključju.

V lobbyju so predstavljeni načrti prihodnje prenove, toda prenova ne more biti opravičilo za današnje stanje. Za delujoče žarnice, sveže sadje, vrhunsko usposobljeno osebje, turndown in beach service niso potrebni novi interierji.

Grand Hotel Toplice ima neverjeten potencial in zgodovino. Pred leti je znal ponuditi bistveno višjo raven storitve. Zato je današnje stanje še toliko večje razočaranje.

Hotel kényelem.
Pros:

A Hotelnek van elkülönített szabad strand része a tóparton. A vízben úszás hatalmas élmény volt. Reggeli bőséges. Recepciós kollega, nagyon kedves, barátságos volt.

Cons:

A hotel úszómedencéje nagyon szép, de nagyon hideg a víze. Szinte lehetetlen belemenni, annyira hideg volt. De a tóban viszont lehetett fürödni, nyáron ez kompenzálja a medence hideg vizét.
