Matavun Holidays from £335

We stayed for five nights. Our arrival was miserable. We drove from Split. Our intention was to arrive by 8pm, but due to some delays, we arrived at 9:30pm. The reception had left at 9pm. The front door was locked. There was a note: call a local number to gain entry. Being from Canada, we tried to avoid costly cellular roaming fees and were travelling with data only (eSIM). So we couldn’t call the number. After trying to contact the property via Expedia (which failed), we finally enabled roaming (expensive), and were able to speak to the property and they talked us into locating keys in a lock box. The room we got was room 7…one of three attic rooms. We had to lug our suitcases way up to an attic level…the stairs were not lighted…and we finally, using the phone’s flashlight, were able to enter the room. This room was built between roof trusses and beams. To get into the beds required climbing over wooden beams while avoiding hitting one’s head on a slanted wall/ceiling. Accessing one bed required climbing under a steel rod while climbing over a wooden beam. Quite dangerous and not acceptable in terms of safety. We stayed in this room for the first night but insisted that we receive a better room. We moved into room 2, not an attic room, for the last four nights. Note…the photos of the attic room skillfully manage to conceal the hazards. The lower level room was much better. It was nice, but there weren’t enough places to stash belongings/towels, but it was clean & tidy

Beautiful hotel set in a beautiful location. Great distance from Bled so as to be convenient and yet far enough away to be quieter. Will definitely go back!!

I enjoyed my time at 1861 Blejka apartments. Stayed with my family. It was clean, spacious, air conditioned (which was useful as it was 30+ degrees during the stay). The connections from Bled Union bus stop were fantastic and saved walking into the central bus station. Food options are 5 mins walk from the property and a grocery store is 10 mins walk. The shower room was downstairs next to the kitchen and living area rather than next to the bedrooms but this was not a problem for us. The shower was good with decent pressure. No problem with the kitchen appliances. We were able to make food to eat and the dishwasher saved time on washing up. Throughly enjoyed our stay.
