Decent hotel

8.0

The hotel is located in a natural setting, which is lovely. The lobby and restaurant appear to have been renovated, and perhaps some of the rooms as well — although ours did not seem recently updated. The bed and mattress felt old, and in the evening, an unpleasant sewage odor was coming from the bathroom. Breakfast was varied, but some of the served fruit was actually spoiled. The indoor pools are beautiful and enjoyable, but they tend to be quite crowded, making it difficult to find available loungers. Overall, the hotel is decent, but there is certainly room for improvement.

Spa services were not available as advertised, facility was clean but bathroom plumbing had a strange smell. Water in the pool was not thermal and we couldn’t even make reservations for spa services, tried three times and employees were not even available. In a great location and rooms have good space but don’t go with the expectation of using the “wellness” facilities for much.

Not bad, but...

We had a tournament event for our youngest in Maribor so decided to stay at the Habakuk because of the advertised spa area including sauna world. The location of the hotel is at the outskirts, amidst a lot of green - very nice. Arriving by car we went to the garage immediately - quite huge with several decks, but light, on the other hand, was scarce, which made finding the reception an adventure itself. Check in was smooth, and the room (a junior suite) was basically fine: A sleeping and living area separated by sliding doors, both rooms with enormous amounts of storage facilities. The room and the hotel are kept in a very good state, a lot of areas seem to have gone through renovation rather recently. The balcony stretched across both rooms and was accessible from both, too - nice view, but no chairs or tables there. The living room had a separate toilet, whereas the sleeping room offered the large ensuite bathroom with both a shower and a tub (which was a tad small). Toilet, bidet, and 2 sinks rounded this off. Unfortunately, the bed consisted of two mattresses and two blankets - big minus for us. A pity that there was no free water in the room (that should not be too hard to accomplish tbh). The biggest minus for us, however, was the spa experience - a minus on a high level, though. First of all, it only opens at 11am and you need to go downstairs to the spa area to acquire robes - why the robes are not waiting in the room already is unclear because you can just take them with you after the spa anyway. Second, the sauna area was separated by a practically see-through sliding door from the main pool area, and in there it was apparently expected to be unclad (clear signs with swimsuits crossed out) - with women and men not separated either, and the minimum age being 12 (admittedly, we dont usually care about the latter). This had nowhere been advertised, and it came unexpectedly and is not the way we like to enjoy saunas, to tell the truth. The sauna being one of the main reasons we chose the place somewhat spoiled it for us. We were not the only guests either who were taken by surprise by this. A lot of others refrained from using the sauna area thus. The pool area, on the other hand, was nice - interesting interior design with a lot of nooks and niches, various water temperatures and whirls - nice for relaxation, but not for real swimming. In the evening we had dinner at their restaurant. The wine was underwhelmingly OK (mariage from cabernet and merlot), but the food was a positive surprise. Both the tenderloin and the lamb shank were indeed excellent, great chef. Service was splendid. Breakfast was equally good, which was expected after the dinner - broad range of everything, fresh and tasty. Late checkout was fairly easily negotiated (with the room keycard not reprogrammed, though), and the spa area can be used after checkout, too. Small inconveniences took this review from 5 to 4, but since this is also a subjective opinion, another * taken for the missing sauna info (in which case we would have chosen a different place). For those who don't mind about the sauna and the occasional minor glitch, this place will not give them any regrets.

Exellent

Excellent hotel, the staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is located right next to the ski slope and the wellness is also excellent. The rooms are large and clean. We usually don't go to the same place twice, but we think we will come back here.
