When I arrived, the rooms were dirty, but after a quick clean, they were comfortable. However, having a balcony at the back of the hotel was a nice touch. Service was top-notch, with kind and helpful staff who were attentive to my requests. The pool and the location, especially in Lucija and beyond, were fantastic. The dining experience was below average, with repetitive and limited food choices. Despite that, the hotel facilities were adequate for a pleasant stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is perfect, right in the center of Portorose and close to the beach, ideal for exploring the Slovenian coast gems. The room, however, was a disappointment with outdated Italian air conditioning and cheap renovations, but it did come with a free additional bed.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room had a spacious layout, but the noise from the main road could be disruptive at night. The cleanliness of the walls, carpet, and curtains left much to be desired. On the bright side, the bathroom and toilet were roomy. However, the room lacked maintenance, with issues like power outages not promptly addressed. The staff at Hotel Barbara were incredibly friendly and helpful, though there were missed opportunities in room amenities that could elevate the hotel to a higher rating.
