Some other airports may also be used: Zagreb, Croatia has many good low-cost carriers and it is 140 km away. Please note: Croatia is not in Schengen area (expect customs at both ends and on entering Slovenia). Above mentioned shuttle services cover Zagreb Airport as well.
For those of you arriving to the Ljubljana airport, the easiest transfer is to use the ordinary bus that will bring you to the City bus station. The buses are available there at the airport and there is no special need to do any reservations. There is a 600m walk from the bus station to the hotel. This can represent a large distance if you have a hefty bag, but there is no efficient city bus line (you would have to take two buses). So in case you do not feel like walking, take a cab to the hotel - it will cost you a few €.
There is a regular bus on every hour (from 5:00 to 20:00, exactly 00) that needs 48 minutes to the Ljubljana Bus station - the last stop. Price for one way ticket is approx 4€.
There are also some shuttles available in front of the airport that take less than 10 people and can bring you directly to the hotel. I know there is a shuttle service running on XX:15 and sometimes at XX:45 with price approx 10€ - I guess they can drop you very close to the hotel. Their departure times also adjust to the arrivals.
Taxi ride from the airport to Ljubljana may be in the range of 40-50€.
