    Kitchen area closes sort of early (so no common area to hang out later) but not a big deal if the weather’s good as there are plenty of spots outside

    This was a great spot well located in Ljubljana! Beds were very comfy for a hostel and it was the best I’ve slept in one (also possibly lucky with courteous roommates). The best part was that the beds are quiet, so none of the typical people-shifting-around-all-night creaks. Funny and nice owner/employees too.

    It’s a bit of a walk from the bus/train station and the 6 bed female dorm was clearly only intended for 4, so it was a bit crammed. Nothing bad tho, I would stay again anytime!

    Absolutely loved this hostel! It’s so close to the old town, but just a little outside of it, which allows you to enjoy a quieter and more authentic part of Ljubljana. There’s a supermarket 2 minutes away and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. Aleks was great, very welcoming and full of advice. The place was always spotless. 100% recommend!

    Good location. There is a bakery and a nice coffee shop nearby the hostel for breakfast. The hostel has clear rules for the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom, which are really nice for a hostel. They can accommodate late check-ins with proof of arrival. Alex, in particular, is very helpful and resourceful! :)

    There is no hairdryer in the bathroom and you need to ask the front desk for it, and they only got one.

    Everything was nice, just that check in from 8am-8pm was a bit of a small problem if you need to ask for anything from the front desk.

    This is a hostel, geared towards dormitory stays or small groups. As such, it is an expensive option for a solo traveller looking for a private room. I should have realised this, but I guess I didn’t!

    Good location, clean and comfortable, very friendly and helpful manager/owner.

    No where to wash and dry your wet gear. Laundry service a little expensive.

    There was use of a well equipped kitchen, no breakfast provided, however there was an excellent nearby local supermarket.

    There could be more showers, especially in the mornings when people have to checkout it was very busy. They were clean though.

    The hostel was clean, the room spacious and the host really gave me loads of tips and ideas to do in Ljubljana which where amazing. The hostel is a bit outside of the center, but it's a nice area, nice to see a bit of Ljubjana without the many tourists. Would stay here again

    On the other side of the street are some bars/restaurants, you here the people talking and laughing with an open window in the night.

    Very nice and clean Hostel. Beds are comfy. Few minutes walk to the old town. Some good recommendations for sightseeing, bars and so on.

    You can only pay for the booking in cash, and there is only one woman working there, so there is not always someone available to help guests.

    To rent a towel you need to pay so it is better to bring your own.

    Located in very good location walkable from city center also close to river good for walk in the morning. Best part I loved this place was cleaness. When you do check out you need to remove mattress,pillow,bed sheet you used and she will change to new one which I coudln't expect from other hostels. Also in kitchen everyone should wash and dry dishes they used which I feel very good. Host was nice, professional and gave lots of tips to travel Ljubljana. I stayed 3 nights but except one day room was not completely booked so I used alone or with just one girl.

    Only common space was the kitchen which closed at 10, made it a bit harder to meet people than other hostels I've stayed at, but still managed to meet some nice people to go the pub with so really can't complain too much.

    Aleks was a great host and super knowledgeable about the city; she suggested a lot of cool things I wouldn't have known about otherwise. Really nice location too, quiet spot by the river with a couple cafes/bars across the street.
