Very relaxed, family-owned hotel a few minutes' walk from the ski-slope in Pohorje, yet the bus to Maribor city centre departs just outside as well. The staff are always on hand to serve you a drink from the comfortable bar or help out with any queries and they might even lend you an umbrella if it's raining outside, which is a very nice touch. The quality of the rooms is such that lounging around in them can be an excuse for not going out. The only problem is that you feel a tad guilty when returning because on ringing the bell the poor receptionist has to clamber up some steps to let you in. But they do so with a smile.

17 rooms (singles €50, doubles €70, triples €90).
