Boutique Hotel Asteria in Ljubljana

This hotel was a 700 metre level walk from the main railway station. Pleasant receptionist Anna said there would be ambulances to and from the nearby hospital i.e. sirens blaring. What she didn't say was how my room would suffer badly from traffic noise. In 40 years of staying in hotels, I would struggle to recall any other establishment as bad. Plus at 2330 hours, there were people talking outside my room. The hotel is unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues as there are steps everywhere. My bedroom had a double bed, desk, two upholstered backless stools and a wardrobe. There was heating and an airconditioner. I searched for the aircon controllef. I could not find. Anna said "the manager had removed them as it is heating season". Since I find European hotels to be stuffy, my ability to turn on aircon was denied. Outrageous! The small bathroom had a glass shelf that jutted out too far above the sink. Potentially dangerous. The showerhead would not stay in the ideal position. Hot water flowed OK, but the shower repeatedly flooded the bathroom despite my effort to keep the semi-circular shower doors tightly closed. WiFi worked well. The TV had BBC and CNN. The breakfast had yoghurt, pastries, cereal and poor quality juice. Some hot items could be cooked to order. I cannot recommend this hotel. It was greatly overpriced.
