Hotel Palace Portoroz by Minor Hotels

The hotel is in a good location, and the staff were friendly and helpful during our stay. However, the property appears to have two separate buildings: an older/main building and a newer building. The newer building felt more like a budget version of the main hotel, rather than being of the same standard. This was disappointing, as both buildings appear to be marketed under the same hotel brand and rating, which can be misleading for guests. While the location and service were positive, the difference in quality between the buildings should be made clearer at the time of booking so guests know what to expect.

Nice breakfast. Hotel retains some charm and pre-war grandeur. The pool and saunas are nice, as is the staff. Jackhammering (two diggers) across the street, even Sunday. Beach amenities(about a dozen spots for cabanas/dual beach loungers) not open first two days, then just a “soft open” with no service while many other places had already opened(end of May/start of June). The “beach”location is bit of an exaggeration anyhow, exposed between a busy cafe and a construction site, and across the main boulevard from the hotel. Also charged 5x more in local taxes than what the reservation specified, not a large amount compared to other cities and presumably not the hotel’s doing but info should be more accurate during booking. The rooms are comfortable and as described, if slightly dated.

We booked a suite with air conditioning since I have asthma and pollen is everywhere. There is air conditioning but only when they turn it on...which is not this week. It is hot, we have to open windows and my asthma is now surfacing. I booked this 5 star hotel and am very disappointed. They offered 1 small fan. Travelers with allergies beware!

We have just stayed here for two days. So lovely

Great hotel, nice location; it was really fun exploring the area & beautiful coast by bike. Enjoyed breakfast - with GF options. Staff was great. Marjan in concierge was awesome - made our trip unforgettable! Thanks! Hope to return sometime! -Lucas & Carlyn
