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.

We really loved this hotel itself and its location. It's only 15 minutes a beautiful walk along the sea and the hotel is located in a very quiet charming location. The breakfast was really good. From the reviews, many people complained about paid parking, even in off season. In our case it was €21/day. What people don't realize is that government is charging the hotel for that parking space, and they have no choice but charge us. The room cost was very reasonable, more than twice cheaper than 4-star Piran Hotel and we really enjoyed our stay here.

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.

The hotel is located in the beautiful lagoon,which has amazingly clean water and not very windy. it is just 15-20 min walk to centre of Piran by the path next to the sea shore. The stuff is very nice and friendly and the hotel is quiet clean and neat. the beach part wasn’t working yet-we came before the main season started,but it looks like it should be an awesome one.

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!
