Rikli Balance Hotel – Sava Hotels & Resorts

Pretty view of Lake Bled if room with a lake view selected. Fun water park like facility adjacent, mostly indoor. Would have liked larger outdoor pool area.

From outside it looks a little outdated from inside much is very good looking, not cosy more business oriented. Hugh pool area, but even as a Suite customer you need to pay for using a spa, that is nothing spectacular but ok. The view from the suite towards the lake was amazing a worth every dime. Spectacular location close to everything and a good bed with the nicest terrasse area.

Our stay here was very nice, the perfect view of the lake and castle especially with a lake view room. Definietly worth paying extra for one of those rooms. Very easy to walk down to the lake and into Bled. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was one of the lifts didn’t work, therefore everyone at the hotel relied on the one lift.

Bellissima struttura, ovviamente il punto forte sono le terme con una vista pazzesca, ma non aspettatevi le terme intese come luogo di relax, infatti sono più pensate come parco acquatico, con massiccia presenza di bambini e scivolo acquatico. le terme sono comunque molto belle. Camera grande e con balcone. Ristorante di alto livello, la cena a buffet assolutamente consigliata. Unico neo uno dei due ascensori (che cmq per 5 piani e il numero di stanze sarebbero appena sufficienti) era rotto, per cui i tempi di attesa sono stati veramente infiniti. Personale assolutamente cortese e disponibile, parlano anche italiano.

We had a lovely stay at the Rikli Balance Hotel. It’s worth (if you can) opting for a Lake view - as it is spectacular. Breakfast was lovely and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was amazingly well organised and reasonable @ 10 Euros per day. Pool/Spa area is big and wasn’t too busy when we went.

Bellissime piscine nell’area wellness. Unico neo: dato il costo elevato, far pagare il parcheggio all’aperto mi sembra una esagerazione

The staff were lovely and the facilities were delightful. To walk round the Lake then have a sauna or fun in the pools is a real treat. It was very busy as it was school holidays which we didn’t realise. The buffet restaurant is also a great offering. Huge variety.

Nice size rooms and comfortable bed. Remote didn't work and was never fixed (or replaced) despite asking front desk about it. One of the elevators didn't work so wait times to get up/down. Card to the spa only worked about half the time, but the staff was nice/helpful to replace each time. The spa area is nice, with pools and a jacuzzi. Lots of family/kids running around so for a solo traveler not the best atmosphere. In a great area, short walk to the lake and food options.

Probably best view on Bled over all other hotels around. One downside - in SPA pools are included but saunas not.

Parking was accessible, and located in front of the hotel. Chargebof 10€ per night. Pretty standard for European Hotels This hotel called itself a Wellness Hotel Focusing on health , balance and wellness. Once you enter the lobby is pumped full of a perfumed scented air. Awful! For those with scent allergist is is terrible breathing environment. Just not clean or fresh air. We booked a suite with a balcony. Hoping to enjoy fresh alpine air. Once we opened the balcony doors it was all cigarette smoke! Again making the balcony, view and entire experience unusable to us. It was toxic! Not the wellness experience we thought we where getting at a hotel advertised it as being a healthy option.

From the moment we entered the hotel and smelt the alpine essential oils, we knew we had made the right choice. We arrived before our check-in time and the lovely people at reception (extremely informative and attentive) went out of their way to allow us to check in early so we could see the incredible sights of Bled as soon as possible. When we checked in, we received a €10 voucher each towards any treatment worth €80 or more. Our lake view room was very well equipped (only missing an iron) and was exceptionally clean. The bed and furniture were all extremely comfortable, the bathroom was spotless and a good size and there was ample space in the wardrobes. Our balcony had fantastic, unobstructed views of Lake Bled and the surrounding areas. Breakfast was delicious. A range of local products to try with the usual breakfast items. The spa and pool areas were of an excellent standard. There were plenty of pools and jacuzzis to choose from, allowing for a peaceful swim. Everything in the pool and spa area was spotless. The treatment area was spacious and serene, with refreshments on offer before and after one of the best massages we've ever had. Overall, we can't recommend this hotel enough. Every single staff member was polite, accommodating and just wonderful. The attention to detail in the hotel was second to none, our entire experience was smooth, relaxing and enjoyable. We simply cannot wait to return to the Rikli Balance Hotel.

Vi var på tur i forbindelse med ishockey VM for U20. Turen leverte på alle områder inkl hotell. Innsjekkingen gikk veldig bra, selv om oppgradering av rom var veldig dyrt. Rommet var rent og romslig. Heisene litt trege da det kun var to av de. Vi benyttet bassengområdet to ganger og det var veldig flott. Beliggenheten og utsikt veldig bra. Bled var et flott sted, så var det selvfølgelig positivt at været leverte hele uken.

Perfect location, clean and spacious rooms and lovely breakfast. The only issue is the staff, while professional but not friendly. The vibes were too cold. Other than that I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great location, only a few minutes walk from lake bled. Great food options. Room had ample dust, even after daily clean. Lifts were not working for most of our stay and we were on the 5th floor. Staff were very helpfull, overall i would recommend this hotel due to its location.

Room and facilities were lovely but housekeeping was terrible. Hardly cleaned our rooms and left lots of things out, did not do a good job!

The hotel is one of the least attractive buildings on the lakefront from the outside, which is a shame, but inside it’s been done to a really high standard. Communal areas and rooms are lovely, and the hotel is kept spotlessly clean. Location is great - it’s elevated a bit from the lake so there are great views. Breakfast is very good and staff are welcoming.

Beautiful lobby & was definitely worth paying for the view of the lake for my room. Definitely some things that could be improved. Eggs at breakfast were usually cold, so I suggest you get the omelette. Staff at breakfast varied. The women seemed to work quickly to clear the tables (often there weren’t enough in the mornings for all the guests due to corporate events that reserved tables at breakfast time). The male staff were slow to clear tables and spent most of time time talking with each other instead of preparing more tables. I’d also recommend you have more tables set up at breakfast time for 1 or 2 people. Most travelers seem to be in couples but you only have tables for 4 set up which is not as useful. WiFi is terrible- so I hope you don’t need to use it when you stay. When it rains, pool area leaks. Not the end of the world as you’re in the pool section but did mean people had to walk around the drips or love their chairs. Pool area access with a key card makes sense, but I had trouble exiting every time I tried to leave. Had to have a member of staff use their staff card to let me out- which would have been fine if there was a member of staff at the desk, but they were usually over chatting with the staff at the wellness area. I had a DND sign on my door one day, and still had someone knock and use their card to enter my room. I went to the door and said ‘no housekeeping today please’. They entered anyway and said they had to check my price list for mini bar.

버스정유장에서 매우 가깝고 마트가 매우 가까워 편리하다호텔은 에어컨이 오래 되어 청결하지않으며 바닥 스텐드형 2개중 하나는 아예 윗두껑이 없고 필터안에는 먼지가 가득했다 리셉션에 얘기를 했지만 3박동안 변함이 없었던 점 3박동안 객실 청소는 수건 갈아주고 침구 정리 정도이다 객실 청소가 깔끔하게 이루어진다면 위치가 좋아 추천할만하다

This hotel is in a good position for lake Bled, only a 5 minute walk to the lake. A good base for travelling around, however, traffic around the area is usually very heavy. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The grassed area by the side of the car park would benefit from some seating. The rooms were clean but not serviced too well daily. I would say the hotel only just reaches 4 star.

Clean, quiet, spacious room. Several pools. Good location.

Amazing view and nicely remodeled!

Our stay here was very nice, the perfect view of the lake and castle especially with a lake view room. Definietly worth paying extra for one of those rooms. Very easy to walk down to the lake and into Bled. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was one of the lifts didn’t work, therefore everyone at the hotel relied on the one lift.

Amazing property. Super walkable to everything. Easy parking. Highly recommend. Only issue was the air conditioning did not suffice. It was on full blast and could not cool the room down.

Great location but unfortunately the rooms are dated.

Prima locatie bij het meer van Bled. Je moet alleen aan de goede kant van het hotel een kamer hebben om geen last te hebben van de airco van het hotel ernaast. Bij vertrek kun je een heerlijk ontbijt krijgen om mee te nemen. Prima kamers.

Très décevant pour le nombre d’étoiles. Chambre vieillissante. Vue sur le parc mais en fait vue sur les cars qui arrivent et laissent leur moteur tourner pendant 10 minutes. Wifi instable. Ascenseur en panne. Parking payant même pour les clients.

Wonderful hotel, beautifully located. Make sure you book Lake View! Very happy that we did go at this time of the year. Lake Bled is beautiful in the Winter, not just in the summer. We could walk and eat anywhere quietou and romantically around the lake!

Elevator doesn’t work right, breakfast was great and fresh, overpriced for the room - they allow people smoke in the next room s balcony and your room stinks up bad, no on site restaurant

Brilliant location in Bled, staff were extremely helpful. Rooms were of a good quality with local decor displayed in the rooms and throughout the hotel being a nice touch. Only negative being that the A/C was not the best. I had it on the lowest setting for the entire time throughout my stay and the room temperature was still extremely humid. Overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely be back in the future.

Air conditioning simply did not work. I would not stay here if the outside temperature was anywhere in the mid-20’s or above. Staff adjusted the thermostat when we go to the room, again when we complained after the first night and were unable to deliver a fan that they committed to providing. Clearly an issue they were aware off across all rooms based on responses. Unhelpful. I took the mattress off the bed and slept on the balcony. That is not a joke. Room may have been 32 degrees. 5 stars for having a balcony big enough to fit a mattress…

Despite tasteful and modern renovations the hotel tries so hard to be a 1-star property. The decent hard product is so poorly let down by terrible service. All aspects of the soft product seem to be defined by stinginess. I have never encountered such unhappy reception staff worldwide - a poor reflection of otherwise wonderful Slovenian hospitality encountered everywhere else in the country. Reception staff are bothered by mere existence of guests - whether at check-in, asking for recommendations, or asking about hotel facilities. The only "smile" (at best a smirk) was seen when checking out. Expect one-word replies to any queries- getting any further information would be like pulling teeth. When asking receptionist about bike-rental facilities at the hotel, was sharply told that bike rental was only available to hotel guests despite clearly being a hotel guest myself. Made the terrible mistake of forgetting my keycard in the room one day. When asking for a replacement card, was scolded loudly "Why, where is your key?!" After establishing that the key was just left behind in the room and not lost, receptionist finally and begrudgingly cut a new keycard. Bathroom only stocks 3-in-1 hand/body/hair liquid soap. Finally, despite unseasonably warm weather in Bled, aircon was completely shut off with no possibility of turning on, and when inquiring about this was sarcastically told "if you feel hot just go out". Hardly the 4* Sup property the hotel claims to be.

Our room has a beautiful view. The gal at the front desk we so helpful and friendly. It was raining and she gave us umbrellas to use while we walked around if the day. Great place with great people.

Breakfast was amazing and staff was fantastic

Really wonderful stay - lovely staff, helped me arrange for cake and champagne to be in the room on arrival for boyfriend’s birthday.

Great location. Staff was very helpful. Great breakfast.

Hotel has very poor service . Reception staff are unfriendly and staff at dinner didn’t clear away plates from the buffet service

The staff were lovely and the facilities were delightful. To walk round the Lake then have a sauna or fun in the pools is a real treat. It was very busy as it was school holidays which we didn’t realise. The buffet restaurant is also a great offering. Huge variety.

All staff were lovely, pool and facilities were amazing, right by the lake, super comfy beds, and quiet. Really relaxing stay:)

Following a somewhat taxing journey, I was delighted by the exceptional service provided at the hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and eager to assist, truly making a positive impact on my trip to Slovenia. I extend my sincere gratitude to Anja, who ensured my well-being, patiently answered my questions, and kindly checked on me while I awaited the arrival of my group. Her outstanding service and reassurance were invaluable and I couldn't be more grateful! The room and hotel were impeccably clean and ideally situated near Lake Bled, contributing to a most relaxing stay. The breakfast was absolutely delightful with a variety of choices to pick from!

Great location and lovely hotel, ideal for a short stay to see sights on and around Bled

Really enjoyed access to aquatic centre on ground floor. Stunning view of Lake from balcony. Ordered room service the first night and it was sensational. Location is good for walking around the lake but slightly tricky if you need to return to the bus station with heavy luggage. Our experience with taxis in Bled was they were hard to find and unreliable. Was left stranded a couple of times and had to walk. Overall though, highly recommend.

Wonderful hotel, beautifully located. Make sure you book Lake View! Very happy that we did go at this time of the year. Lake Bled is beautiful in the Winter, not just in the summer. We could walk and eat anywhere quietou and romantically around the lake!

The hotel was in an excellent location, very friendly and clean. We had a top floor lake view room: the view was truly amazing!

Great location and beautiful property. Lake view was wonderful.

I would say the hotel only just reaches 4 star.

A lovely hotel, very comfortable bed, great facilities and breakfast. We had a lake view room with balcony and the views were picture perfect. Could watxh that view for hours!!! The only minor criticism was how hot the rooms were. Having travelled around Europe, we have experienced this before but the hotel was in winter mode to keep it heated. Air conditioning isnt available until later in the year. The lady on reception advised us to keep the balcony door open to air the room. The area was perfectly quiet so this worked well. Would recommend this hotel and would return again.

Great hotel, buffet, amenities , location

Hotel rooms, spa and location were fantastic. Service was mixed. Was told by front desk staff there was no food available in town (all groceries and restaurants were closed) when arrived at 21:20pm and was starving. Funny enough thankfully was able to buy a sandwich from their own bar so it was bizarre that a few steps away at the front desk was told nothing was available. I also noticed the next day all other restaurants in town are open until 10. The breakfast and buffet quality and selection overall was great. I also have a food allergy and they were extra careful and accommodating to point out what I could eat safely. For dinner, it’s a bit awkward. It is Buffett only and have to order drinks (even tap water) and pay separately- which is odd and a bit inconvenient. They should better explain how dinner works when you check in as that would have been helpful and aided our decisions.

We had a lovely stay at the Rikli Balance Hotel. It’s worth (if you can) opting for a Lake view - as it is spectacular. Breakfast was lovely and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was amazingly well organised and reasonable @ 10 Euros per day. Pool/Spa area is big and wasn’t too busy when we went.

We had such a lovely stay here, all of the staff were extremely welcoming & helpful. Our room was massive, clean and had everything we needed. The spa was lovely, although you do have to pay extra to use the sauna which was a bit unexpected and would have liked to be included in the price of the stay. Good location although either a climb up stairs or around the back up the road - potentially not great for guests with limited mobility (although could drive right up). The bar was nice but could do with some additional cocktail options :)

Lovely hotel in a convenient location for activities around lake Bled. Pool facilities were excellent and the towels and bag provided for use during the stay was a nice touch. Breakfast had plenty of options with fresh fruit and waffles being our favourite choice. Would definitely return in the future and will be recommending to friends and family.

Lovely hotel in lake bled, welcoming receptionist, lovely room with a side lake view. Breakfast had the usual fare with continental meats, cereals with seeds, nuts and dried fruits. Hot food could have been better, lots of fried eggs on a plate which would have been better cooked fresh to order as per the very nice omelettes.

Lovely pool. Lots of tour bus people staying there. Dinner food was pretty just okay.

If you like a hotel mainly for tour groups and mediocre food, the Sava Hotel-run Rikli Balance hotel is for you. It advertises itself as being green and sustainable. The infrastructure does as with furnishings and recycling. But the food doesn't live up to the 2022 green award that it is supposed to have received. Instant coffee pockets in rooms, canned fruit cocktail salad, and overcooked, boiled veges showing up in buffets. Sava Hotel management can certainly do better than this if it wants to keep its reputation and live up to the spirit of Rikli. That's the challenge to their creativity.

This is probably the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at. We had a beautiful view of the lake. It was in a great area very near the lake close to shops and restaurants. The staff was very kind and helpful and there were several swimming pools and a spa. The buffet breakfast was awesome and included an omelette bar. My only problem with this place we had to leave.

Loved the overall property. Rooms pretty nice although the A/C is not strong enough so our room was too hot every night. The hotel is huge with lots of wellness except no gym which is odd when they have spa, 4 pools etc. one thing needs attention is breakfast. The 2 coffee machines are either too slow or they need another one. Every morning there is a queue for the machines and that means people getting in each others way trying to walk around breakfast. Also the toaster is terrible and takes forever. Small things that can make a difference.
