    Sax Pub is in a great location, just outside the pedestrian zone, and is close to lots of restaurants. The hostel was very clean and was very quiet, even though it was backing on to the pub.

    Two showers might make you wait a little bit to use the bathroom, but nothing that ruins the experience. The crowd might be a bit odd as well, but on my last night I actually got to meet a few people and the vibes were amazing. There is indeed noise from the pub downstairs but nothing absurd and I don’t think it goes later than ~ midnight.

    Overall fair stay! Staff is actually very nice contrary to most reviews saying they’re not around - I got to meet some of them :) Sockets fairly close to each bed, big locker (just need to bring a padlock), towels for no extra fee, bathroom is also ok. It’s also clean enough and the location is almost at the border of the city centre. The walk by the river is pretty chill.

    It is a shared dormitory. It was very clean. The bathrooms are also very clean. There is a box to keep your things, but you must buy a lock before you come. There is also a small bar under the residence and adjacent rooms that stay open until midnight. Loud noises.

    Guy from the staff (which also Works at the bar) seemed to have invented a strange policy by which guests cannot check in after 6pm although booking.com still allows reservations. Maybe it was too extra work for the bar man/receptionist.

    The wifi wasn't working for the duration of my stay. However, it was my understanding that this was a temporary issue.

    Really nice environment, nicely decorated and very clean. Well equipped kitchen. Walking distance to the old town.

    I was there for just one night prior to hiking in the mountains and I was very happy that I was able to leave my luggage there during my hike. Room was small but adequate for the price 30 minutes walk from railway station and main bus station. Handy to the centre

    There were 2 toilets, one on the ground floor and the other on the first. One of them didn’t have a lock inside and the other one didn’t have a flush.

    The property was easy to find and close from main attractions with a very friendly host

    About a 10 min stroll along the river from the old town, or a 25min walk from the bus station. Staff are all friendly and helpful. It was pretty chill. Unfortunately the pub was being renovated while we were there. I would definitely stay again and recommend

    Only 2 sportsy for entire hostel and both in the one room with only 1 lock on the main door. So showers often occupied. Only 1 toilet per gender. Locker not big enough for my backpacking bag. Only given 1 lock between the 2 of us. Hostel is a 30 min walk from rain station. Very minimal contact with staff, all working in the pub. Minimal opportunity to meet other people.

    Bed was comfy, big curtain around beds in dorms for privacy. Air con in room was good. Nice kitchen, well stocked. Easy walk into the city from the hostel. Nice garden and sitting area.

    We stayed at the hut in the backyard. It is very basic and not super comfortable. Due to bad insulation, you need constant air conditioning, which leads to quite a bad air. For couples it’s not very convenient.

    Very nice location, perfect for exploring Ljubljana. Kitchen has everything you need for cooking. Clean bathrooms.

    There were quite a lot of things that didn't work out for me. There was no one at reception throughout the entire day to do the check in, I had to get help from some guys working at the bar beside the hostel. The tap in the bathroom didn't work so there was not water. They allowed someone to check into my room at 9 in the morning even though check in is at 3pm. Overall my experience was not horrible but it was not good either, I would not recommend it.

    The hostel has a nice patio. The rooms have a good size, are clean and have a bathroom nearby. The location is near the city centre. I was allowed to leave my backpack before checking in.
