Hotel Heritage stands at Čevljarska ulica 2, the Cobblers’ Street, which gave its name to the nearby Cobblers’ Bridge and sits at the centre of the old quarter. The location puts you at the hinge between the river and the market: Town Hall and the university are two minutes on foot, Prešeren Square five, and the Central Market and the castle funicular about six. The Cobblers’ Bridge and an architecture gallery are right beside the building. The hotel is a business-style property with a modern, polished interior, and it offers three room types, all with a king bed and room for a third guest: a standard double, an urban double with a city view and a superior double with a larger floor area and a city view. The detail is good. Beds are memory foam with hypoallergenic bedding, there is a pillow menu, a desk and workspace, a large smart television, a wardrobe and a rain shower with free toiletries, and free baby beds are available. Rooms have air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Downstairs there is a restaurant, a bar and a cafe, so you can eat, drink and relax without going far, and a buffet breakfast is part of the offer, so check what your rate includes when you book. Other services include luggage storage, a safe deposit box at reception, laundry, bike rental, tour and ticket assistance, a banquet hall and multilingual staff. The property is non smoking. Parking is available for a daily fee, which is useful given that much of the old quarter is closed to traffic, and an airport transfer can be arranged on request for a fee. Check-in runs through the afternoon and evening, with late check-in possible during limited hours, and check-out is at 11:00. Pets are not allowed, although service animals are accepted. There is no spa. The airport is roughly 34 minutes away by car, and the railway station is about a quarter of an hour on foot.
Who it suits
Couples and design-minded travellers who want a stylish hotel in the oldest part of the city, business guests who need a good desk and a banquet hall, and anyone who likes to have a restaurant and bar in the building. It is also a good option for guests who want breakfast built into the rate.
Trade-offs
The range of rooms is small, with three categories that are all doubles with a king bed, so larger families may find it limiting. The old quarter is busy on summer evenings and the street outside can be lively, so ask for a quiet room. Parking and airport transfers cost extra, there is no spa or pool, and pets are not accepted.
The station is a fifteen-minute walk or a short taxi ride. How to use it: stay three nights and spend the first day walking the river and the market, the second on the castle hill and the third on a day trip.
The lake at Bled and the caves at Postojna are both easy excursions from the city by bus or rail. In the evening, the cafes and wine bars along the river are a few steps from the door. The hotel is also a comfortable place for a long weekend in winter, when the lights of the old quarter are at their best.
