Barbara Piran Beach Hotel

I chose Barbar Piran Beach Hotel for its proximity to the beach and wasn't disappointed! The water is literally just outside the hotel and easily accessible. But be warned that the beach is a stone beach (not sand). I didn't do my research and so I didn't properly prepare the kiddos for stones. But they still enjoyed getting into their swimsuits and playing in the water. The rooms we stayed in were very compact, but had all the necessities. The kids loved having a balcony that allowed them to go outside and have fresh air whenever they wanted it. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from: baked goods, meats, cheeses, veggies, cereal, and yoghurt, as well as several fruit juices. It's about a 15-20 minute walk into Piran proper, along a lovely cliff-side path. We walked back from Piran to the hotel in the evening and were able to witness the sunset over the ocean, which was just lovely.

The facilities were nice. Unfortunately I’m unable to comment on a lot of the beach facilities because it was rainy when we visited. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It is about a 20 min walk to Piran which was good for us as we were driving and didn’t want to drive into the city. Had a great view and balcony. Breakfast buffet was good.

Breakfast is fantastic, and you couldn't be any closer to the ocean without getting wet and the staff are lovely and friendly. Really nice place

Placement of the hotel just by the seaside. The rooms were practical and nice. The restaurant dinner and breakfast were both lovely, and sitting with a sunset and sea view on the terrace was amazing. The hotel had three stars but could easily aspire to obtain the fourth. It is really 3.5 already. The personnel were very helpful and kind. We got to store luggage after checkout so we could walk to Piran centre for sightseeing and they kindly made it possible for us to have a last swim and a shower by the beach before we traveled onwards. They recommended a hotel from same chain in Kranjska Gora which we ended up staying at as well. So good service all the way through!

We were very satisfied with the breakfast offering. From fruits, to meats and eggs, to cereals, there was a nice selection. We also enjoyed the beach. Although the public swimming in Piran town looked charming, it seemed like swimming "downtown." We appreciated the more resort-like beach environment at the Barbara Piran Hotel away from the crowds. The location slightly outside of town was nice; the walk to the center of Piran was not bad at all: ca. 15 minutes.
