sorry I can't be of help about hotels in Venice (I know only the Ramada on mainland in Mestre) and Ljubljana (too close to home). There was a few days ago an exchange of messages on the list about Leon Morosini apartments; it sounded interesting both for the price and the location. Lake Bohinj (sorry I spelled wrong) has some smaller hotels but I can't suggest any because I can't remember them well. I'm sure you can easily find accomodation in Ljubljana through the local tourist bureau even if you don't book in advance. Bye
