We came to this guest house having spent two nights at a hotel near Piran. We had paid €20 per night more for our stay in Piran, but Guest House Mlino proved to be the better by far. First impressions were not great, when we had to ring the bell and wait at reception for over 10 minutes to be checked in, but it was all up-hill from there. Our room was spacious, very clean, and the beds very comfortable. The breakfast spread was very good, and the restaurant is also excellent - we ate there one evening. The location is first class - right on the edge of the lake, away from the hustle of Bled, with a bus stop and ‘pletna’ stop on the doorstep. We had a hire car, so having a car park right next to the hotel was great. The staff, with one exception, were warm, and welcoming. The wifi, though not first class, was adequate. 

The more traditional, rather Germanic decor, may not be to everyone’s taste, and does look tired in places. But get beyond this, and you have a real little gem here.

Two tips:
The rooms at the front with a lake view are slightly smaller than those at the back (where we were), but are still of an adequate size.
People with health issues or disabilities, please note that all the rooms are on the first and second floorl, and there is no lift.



A little gem

Penzion Mlino has a truly excellent location on the shores of Lake Bled. Although it is roughly 2 KM away from the Bled town center, its location is extremely convenient because directly in front of this guest house are the bus stops for the public buses in both directions (i.e. towards Bohinj as well as towards Ljubljana), the bus stop for the summer shuttle buses for visiting key attractions such as the Bled Castle and Vintgar Gorge, the stop for the Bled sight seeing Tourist train (see the bled.si website) as well as a departure point of the Pletna Boats to the Bled Island. The name of the Bus Stops / Tourist train stop is Bled Mlino.

In addition about 50 m to the right of the guesthouse is a Mercator super market which was open until 9 PM daily including on weekends when we visited in July.

Therefore, this is a perfect location in a scenic area away from the busy town and yet with all the necessary amenities available right here.

The rooms in the guest house are quite basic, not too large, and yet are very clean and comfortable and we were also provided with a fan in order to deal with the extreme summer heat in July 2019. The rooms facing Lake Bled have windows with very good views of Lake Bled and the Bled Castle.

The staff speak English and are in general friendly and the restaurant is also quite adequate.

Overall, we were quite satisfied and would go back there again and can recommend this place as a good base for a vacation in the Bled region.

Excellent Location and Comfortable Stay

This Pension had slightly small rooms, but the breakfast was fine. The location is great, outside the touristy Lake Bled town.  We ate at the restaurant, which was our best decision - fabulous food and really lovely staff.  Really rate this place and will definitely go back. 

Great place

It was a very nice experience to stay and eat on this location. The lake view it is wonderful. Great service, good food and the restaurant has a parking place which is priceless considering the situation. 

Superb

Pension Mlino provides all that travellers can wish for. It is very difficult to find fault with any aspect of the service and provisions.The Pension is located at the edge of Lake Bled with a view of not only the lake but also to the mountains beyond. It is within walking distance of the centre of Bled, but also has a bus stop at the front of the hotel which is convenient for weary  guests. My husband and I stayed in Room 106 with  windows overlooking the lake and the snow topped mountains. The staff focussed on the needs of their guests, and nothing was too much trouble. We needed to leave early on the last day to catch the train at Lesce. Staff ensured that we were able to have breakfast prior to leaving, although it was over an hour before the breakfast was served for guests. The restaurant, with the friendly waiters and prompt service provided excellent meals at a reasonable price. The terrace with the view to the lake added to the ambience. Our stay at Pension Mlino was memorable. Thank you to all at Pension Mlino who made it so.

A Room with a Magnificent View

Set away from the main town halfway round the lake is this gem of a guesthouse. Basic and not the most modern rooms but perfectly clean, warm and comfortable for a couple of nights. Best of all rooms have a view over the lake which is literally just over the road. Being the middle of winter everywhere was very quiet and I only encountered 1 member of staff who was very personable and fun to chat to in the restaurant later in the evening. Would absolutely recommend this place.

Amazing location

The staff is friendly and smiling. Very rich and varied breakfast. Prices are normal.

+
I liked the room overlooking the lake and despite the fact that there is a busy road below, the noise due to the good windows is almost inaudible. As a guest i had free parking space that was always available to me (in an otherwise very busy and popular place).
Just cross the street there was a bus station, and station for boats (normal ones and "pletna"). Local store is just around the corner.

-
The room was without air conditioning, but despite the high temperatures outsides (+30) I did not need it.
Access to the rooms on the upper floors is only possible by stairs (no lift). 
The bathroom could be too small for someone.

Penzion with a great view of the lake Bled

This is an attractive-looking older guesthouse on the shore of Lake Bled, immediately opposite the tourist boats for the island. Because of the location coaches stop frequently to disgorge their cargo of tourists. There was an energetic, friendly and helpful young guy looking after the reception desk who was also waiter in the restaurant in the evening. Our room was quite small, the bathroom especially so - but it had a lovely view across the lake and the twin bed was comfortable. To reach the restaurant you have to walk outside across the courtyard. We enjoyed our evening meal there and breakfast (served in the B&B part) the following morning. The décor of the hotel is getting a bit weary and there is a funny smell on the stairs (no lift). We reached the hotel by bus from Lesce Bled railway station; and returned to the station from the bus stop very close to the hotel. We were told the buses run hourly.
