This place is really nice and shows that the rooms are designed to be elegant. The bed is really comfortable and the pillows too. A really nice hotel and situated close to the rover where there are lots of bars and restaurants

The one thing this hotel has going for it is the location. It is on the main stretch where all the restaurants are. However, the room and common areas are not so great. In our room there were stains all over the floors and sheets. Our sink in the bathroom kept getting backed up and there was only one towel hook. The AC in the room also never got cold. I would only stay in this hotel with a significant other as the bathroom is very intimate. There is only a curtain separating the bed from the toilet. The staff also wasn’t very welcoming and got upset when we asked for our breakfast to go. I would not stay here again.

Fantastic and lovely staff. Lovely food. Lovely restaurant  But overall I just didn't like the place. The decor is strange. The main stairway has gorgeous white cladding and the concrete works very well. But the cheap looking silver wallpaper and throws on chairs makes it look like a bad sci-fi movie. The rooms are similar in trying too hard to be 'modern & stylish' but failing badly. Also the ongoing maintenance isn't great, with worn bathroom counter, damaged fittings and the fridge wasn't working. For the same cost there are better places within walking distance - but they were fully booked this time:(

There is no convenient way of parking and the hotel did not offer any sort of valet parking option. The hotel suggests a 30€/day parking garage of a supermarket about a 10min walk away. We booked the most expensive room on offer, a junior suite. However, on arrival, it is by any standard a normal hotel room, not a suite. The room smelled strongly like a construction site, dusty, wet and like cement. It is high summer and the rooms windows were open whilst the (rumbling loud) aircon was on high blast when we first entered. The hotel is well aware of the rooms unpleasant smell. The shower smelled like drain. The suite has no separate bathroom, just a shower cabinet, a toilet cabinet and a tiny vanity on a windowsil more reminiscent of what you would find in a camping mobile. Turning it on revealed that its drain wasn't tight at all and a stream of water came running down on the bathroom floor (see attached video).
Yes we're still in the "suite" here.
There was no coat hangers on the coat rack, which was the least of our concerns.
The room was not properly kept. Stains all over the carpets and furniture.

We complained about the smell and overall state of the room and were told that stains and the uncleanliness must have been from the guest before us. Period. There is no service here. There was no intention by the hotel to fix anything. We would have been somewhat content with a scented candle at that point.

Interior design taste may be subjective but the overall style, while it is located in the old city is some sort of 90s industrial modern look. The carpets are badly cut, there is spots of adhesive here and there and the furnishing is overall described best as trashy in style and finish. There is 0 decorations whilst there is nieches for it in the room and on the hallways. On the hallway right next to our room, there is a half concrete blocked fire door which is either peak industrial interior design or comically out of place and trashy for a hotel offering 300€+ rooms.

I am appalled by the hotel itself and the service and wouldn't not recommend anyone staying here. Something is obviously very much off.

My girlfriends and I had a fantastic stay at the Vander hotel in Ljubljana. Alen and Tadej, who work at the front desk, were very kind, helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay. They were friendly and recommended lots of wonderful places for us to visit and great restaurants to eat at. Thanks to them we had a wonderful time as the Vander hotel and in Ljubljana and we will definitely be back.
