We stayed here for 11 nights and were absolutely delighted with the place. Although it is classed as a five star hotel, I do think realistically it is more 4 star by Western standards, but that is in no way meant to be a criticism because the prices are definately not five (or even four) star prices! We were on... more

We stayed at the Bernardin on the second week of a Slovenian holiday in August. The hotel is well situated with easy access to Piran. The Reception area is about the only 5 star aspect of the hotel. We booked a superior room and ended up on the first floor where every room is dark and denied a view due... more

This is not a five star or even a three star hotel in my opinion by Western Standards. We paid 350 Euros for one night for a "Junior Suite" which was a regular hotel room with an adjoining room with only a sleeper sofa and a cot. In its heyday (probably when it was still Yugoslavia) this was probably a... more

We have just stayed a week in this lovely hotel with our two children aged 9 and 14. Not many activities for them, but they enjoyed the food and fantastic private beach with the lovely clear waters of the Adriatic - both our kids are great swimmers. The hotel is in a fantastic location - all the rooms have the... more

We stayed in this hotel just for 2 days, for a weekend and actually we chose it following the advice of our friends. First of all the place is really beautiful, with beautiful clean Adriatic sea. The hotel has a good location and is near to the center of a city which you can reach just with 10 min of... more

Stayed at the Bernardin for a week in July, and found Slovenia very charming and quite sophisticated. I imagined it was a bit like a high class holiday in the 50's, with a dash of The Talented Mr Ripley scenery thrown in. I must admit we came through Portoroz by taxi when when we arrived and gave it a miss... more

We have just spent 3 days in Grand Hotel Bernardin in Portoroz. The architecture of the hotel is great, hotel is clean, the beach is great, but the rooms are rather small for a 5* hotel. GH Bernardin is located in a Hoteli Bernardin complex just between Portoroz and Piran. The complex has an excellent restaurant called Barka, which serve... more

We were here primarily for a conference and this seems to be where the hotel has positioned itself. This could be a problem for regular private guests as the lifts get clogged frequently as the conference facilities are split between the ground and 11th floors. Also, when we were there, another meeting was in progress and we were blocked from... more

This was my first visit to Slovenia. I started at the top. The Grand Hotel St. Bernadine is built into the side of a cliff overlooking the Adriatic. Each room has a balcony that feels like the balcony of a cruise ship. It is an excellent hotel ... but it is NOT a five star. Here are some things that... more
