I love this place. I’ve stayed a few times and I’ll probably return. The staff, food and location are amazing!! There was however a persistent smell resembling backed up sewer. It wasn’t overwhelming but it was off putting. I walked onto a couple other floors and it was throughout the entire building.

I cannot recommend this hotel more highly. I wanted to stay in Piran but choose this hotel initially for two reasons: (a) it was walking distance along a promenade to Piran and offered free parking; and (b) it would be staying in a slice of history as the form of the hotel (though not the renovated interiors) harked back to the more brutalist days of the Yugoslav Republic. Then I got there - the staff were unfailingly lovely; the room was big (after several days of tiny rooms); each room has an expansive sea view; the breakfast was out of this world; and it was a beautiful promenade in front of the hotel along the sea. It was really a singular experience and one of the reasons that Piran was a highlight of the trip. My mother (70 yo) felt very poorly on the last night of the trip and was quite ill during the night. As we didn't have to leave to go to the airport until 4pm, I requested a late-check out. Not only did they give my mother the room until 4pm, but they didn't accept extra payment for the additional time in the room. Honestly I can't recommend this hotel more highly!

This is a beautiful location! I loved the view and how easy it was to walk to the centre of Piran (which is beautiful by the way). There are electric scooters out front if you don't want to walk that far. There was also a delicious restaurant close, before the main part of town. I believe the bar by the ocean was closed when I was there (end of September) but other than that everything was great. Buffett breakfast was great with lots of selection. As a Canadian woman traveling alone I felt totally safe, the staff spoke english (grateful). One thing - be careful if using the stairs to go for a swim in the ocean, I was using the railing and still slipped and fell - lol.

Not a 5 start property

This is by far not a 5 star experience! The staff and services is awful. We placed laundry service and they delayed the return by more then 24 hours, which completely delayed our travel plans and departure to another location. There is no manager on property and in charge. The front desk lady is rude and unprofessional. In addition we had to park our own car and bring our own luggage to the room.

This was our first visit to Piran and to the Grand Hotel Bernardin. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We encountered several rude staff immediately upon arrival. The front desk staff did not offer a welcome and performed their duties completely detached from any level of hospitality and professionalism. There were no smiles, and no effort to make guests feel welcome. After checking in, we discovered the fellow who brought our bags to our room leaning on the bags when we arrived. He appeared upset and impatient although we were only a few minutes behind him. My husband and I felt that we were a big inconvenience to him despite the fact that helping us with our luggage was part of his job. Then we encountered more rude behaviour at the front desk when we asked for directions to the centre of Piran. The fellow who helped us asked which town we wanted to see? We explained we’d like to see the centre of the town we were in. He seemed to make a game of not giving us the simple directions. So, we relied on Google to help us navigate the way. At breakfast I asked one of the restaurant staff where I might find hot water for tea. The female server did not say good morning, did not respond in a friendly manner but yelled out ‘machine’ while pointing at a distance to the coffee machine. Overall, the service at this hotel is a mere notch above hostility. I would hope another Piran hotel would offer better service for tourists interested in discovering Slovenia.
