هتل سنت دانیل

OVERRATED and OVERPRICED: The „BIOHOTEL StDaniel“ is rather a „Bed and Breakfast“ than a „Hotel“, although the prices are very high. A double room including breakfast costs 220,- Euros per night. For this premium price guests get poor quality and poor service by the owner (Nina) and the staff (Kaja). Beds and pillows are very uncomfortable. The bathroom is below youth hostel quality. The breakfast is middle-class standard, while an espresso, cappuccino or latte macchiato costs extra. Guests also have to pay extra for eggs and other things. Extra payments seem to be a kind of strategy of the owners, who point out in a meticulous „police-like-document“ in the rooms that „If you do X you have to pay 100 Euros, and if you do Y you have to pay 300 Euros, etc.“ In short: Slovenia is a great tourist destination and the Karst region is wonderful for hiking, cycling or relaxing. However this location is neither great nor wonderful. There are multiple better options around Stanjel. At StDaniel guests do not get value for money, but an overrated and overpriced accommodation with below average quality and service.

We had a very lovely stay at St. Daniel. The room was very big (deluxe room) and the owners were super nice and helpful. The breakfast was lovely and the pool area was nice and peaceful. Overall highly recommended. The only thing for me, but this is very personal, the bed was very hard. If you have back problems and don’t like to have hard beds, i would check if they could do something about it.

Very cute hotel, barely ever saw so much love for details - in the room and at the breakfast. And I learned a lot about spirituality. It felt good and recharging staying here. Super kind staff!
