Good quality, considering it is a hostel. It feels more like a budget hotel which can only be better. The main highlight for me was the friendly staff, especially the bar staff in the morning and late evening. They are willing to help with anything you need and are really keen to practice their English with you. Cheap drinks, cheap hostel, and fun activities. The town center is also only 800 tolars (about £2) away. The bus is even less, but make sure you have the right change, otherwise you could end up paying with a large note!

It's far from the center although there are excellent bus connections. Breakfast was expensive and poor. The staff felt quite rude.

This was good value for the money, but not an amazing hostel. The room was clean but the bathroom really wasn't. The security was pretty bad—we weren't given a key for our room, the door of which didn't even close properly, and there were no lockers we noticed or were told about. Its location is fine—it's easy to get in to the center of the town by bus (the bus stop is just round the corner). Breakfast was expensive.

This hotel is a very good value for the money. The rooms are spartan, but clean, with a small bathroom. Security is good, as you have a card to not only gain access to your room, but also to enable you to access the stair wells that lead from the reception area to your room. A basic buffet breakfast is available at the hotel for a reasonable sum. It is self-service, and you are required to take your cutlery, etc. back to the bar when you have finished. There is a nice bar in the hotel, with a neat garden and patio area. The staff are very helpful and speak English well.
The only drawback to the hotel is that it is a few kilometres into the town centre, so it is not really walkable into town. Three buses regularly run from the bus stop on the main road (Litijska Cesta) into town. Number 9 takes you to the bus and train station, the 13 takes you to Kongresni Trg and the 5 takes you to the outskirts of the town, where you can easily walk into the centre. A taxi fare from the town to the hotel is reasonable later, when the buses have stopped running.
