At the restaurant service was friendly but quite slow - we had to wait pretty long for the food, check etc. Food was OK but very salty, and the side dishes were not included in the prices - so it was more expensive than one would imagine at first. Location by the lake is excellent. More

My wife and I had dinner here while staying across the lake at Grand Hotel Toplice, which has better views. My fish was superb, the service excellent, and the atmosphere, on a Sunday night in April, just perfect. We would definitely return, if we ever returned to Bled. More

This is clearly the trendy place to be seen in Bled. With its lakeshore setting, large sunny terrace and modern decor, it is the perfect spot to linger over lunch or coffee & cake. We had an excellent kremeschnit here (spelling?) which is the region's speciality - custard and cream slice. Divine. Lunch was good except for a very disappointing... More

We have visited Vila Preseren many times during our stya in Bled because this place enjoys one of the best locations on the lakeside. Food is good on average, but the salmon carpaccio was totally frozen. Wide selection of delicious cakes, I'd recommend to try the local cream cake. Service is not outstanding, but they were kind to let my... More

The Vila Preseren is a very small hotel located above a restaurant. There is no front desk, checkin is handled in the restaurant. The location is perfect, right on the lake between the castle and town center. Though, Bled is so small that everything is within easy walking distance. The other reason we picked this hotel is that many of... More

We spent 5 nights at the Vila Preseren and could not have been made to feel more comfortable. We were there for our wedding, but hadn't told them. As soon as the staff found out, they moved us into a suite for 2 nights with no extra charge and provided us with strawberries, sparkling wine, and chocolate without any request.... More

I spent the past weekend at Vila Preseren with my boyfriend, and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The hotel is essentially a restaurant with a large terrace, and just a few rooms - there was no reception area; you have to check-in at the bar. The rooms were brightly decorated and were clean - we were upgraded to a room... More

As first time visitors to Slovenia we were cautioned to avoid booking any of the sterile, high rise, concrete hotels left over from the communist era. With that in mind we opted for Vila Preseren and were happy with our choice because it's a small hotel-restaurant (perhaps a converted private residence) with a stunning location in a park like setting...

I've stayed in many a hotel that happens to have a restaurant. Vila Preseren is a restaurant that happens to have some rooms. Realistically, there is no lobby, no front desk and you check in for your room with the waitstaff at the restaurant. We visited Lake Bled in Oct. but the weather was great. Sat. afternoon into Sun., the... More

We stayed in Vila Bled in winter as there was so much snow we couldn't drive home safley. Vila Prešeren is a small and confortable hotel, located on the lake Bled. The breakfast was great. I believe it is even more beautiful in summer, when you can sit at night by the lake. More
