The Hostelz.com Review

For an HI hostel, this place is quite nice. It's about a 10 minute walk from the train/bus station and another 10 to the town center. The reception is open 24 hours and the owners are nice (assuming they understand what you are asking). Internet is free if you wait to get on it. There is no real common room, though there are benches outside and a basketball court. Apparently, the buildings are student dormitories during the school year. Use your ISIC card if you don't have an HI card.

One of the best things about this hostel are the rooms. Although the floors are creaky, the dorm rooms (4 beds) are huge, with high ceilings, tables, no bunks, and free lockers. The cleaning staff is one of the best and bathrooms (mixed-sex) are nice. Breakfast is free and, while not expansive in options, is also unlimited. Stock up for lunch. There aren't really any downsides to this hostel. Not really a place you'll hang out in or remember later on, but definitely above adequate.

Back to school
It is an eerie feeling to be sleeping in a large school building converted into a hostel. Academia has been replaced with groups of travelers having a grand time in beautiful Ljubljana. Dorms are spacious and clean, cupboards with locks and keys, and enough tables and chairs to rekindle your student days. The kitchen is clean and neat, although there is only one mug to fight over. I found the meal hall a bit intimidating (it's huge) and the breakfast is ok. Bathrooms are kept to a HI standard (which means it's clean!) and showers are nice and hot. The reception staff are informative and friendly, and the internet has a decent speed. Overall, we had a blast swapping school tales with other roommates and experiencing Ljubljana for the first time.

This was a good hotel to stay in the beautiful city of Ljubljana. Close to the center, nice and clean rooms. I recommend this hostel.

Fantastic. It was like a hotel. We met someone there who was staying in the hotel next door and switched to the hostel because it was so much better! Very clean and bright, we got our own room equipped with cupboards, shelves, our own sink (this is a definite plus!), plug sockets (a godsend!), and a corridor of friendly people we met whilst spending the evening on the communal balcony. Plus it's very easy to find and only ten minutes from the train station. The staff were friendly and the internet was free, we stayed two extra days than intended, largely due to this hostel!

It's kind of like staying in an abandoned college dorm (oh wait, it is). Bizarre cafeteria breakfast. We literally didn't have anyone else staying on our floor. The service is kind of like military barracks (it's all about efficiency). The location is good, but it's a small city, so basically any location is good. Go to this city though, we had some good adventures here.

I've stayed at this hostel last August. Unfortunately I left behind a tour guide I would very much like to recoup. I've already sent some e-mails asking for the whereabouts of the guide and, thus far, none have been answered. I sincerely don't like being treated like this. Not even a lousy answer! I'll just continue to send them until I have some sort of an answer.

I think it s the best in Ljubljana. Very friendly staff and young people. There is 15 minutes of free Internet but at night you can stay on till the early morning. Good breakfast, all you can eat.

We came to Ljubljana on a train from Trieste, and arrived at 2 a.m. We slept in the train station and were given directions to the hostel from the tourist information office at about 8 a.m. We got there at about 8:30 a.m. and we were given a room for that night!! We were seriously relieved to have a bed and a shower, and we had the room for ages!! None of this lockout rubbish. We had room 184, it was the best room I've stayed in. You get a table, power points, and everything you could need. The Internet was free on a normal PC, none of this rubbish Internet corner you get in Italy. We stayed in July 2005 and paid 7600 SIT [Slovene tolars] a night for a double bedroom (me and girlfriend).

Nice hostel, with nice gardens! It has really comfy rooms, good showers, and free Internet. The staff are nice and speak good English. It's a bit pricey, but the breakfast is really good. It's in a nice city, with nice people!!!

This hostel is bad! Just look at the doors! They are made from paper! And the toilets are dirty and the stink is foul! I didn't feel good for the three days I was here!

The hostel is ok. I think the best part is its location--really near to the city center. The rooms are clean and correct. The breakfast is really great, and the staff speak very good English. Another important point is that there's no curfew at all, so you can visit the beautiful city without trouble.

Best hostel ever! I've stayed in quite a few on my travels and this is my favourite without a doubt. It has really comfy rooms, good showers, and free internet. The staff are nice and speak good English. It's a bit pricey, but the breakfast is really good. Make sure to take some bread with you for lunch. It's in a good location. The hostel is situated in the most beautiful city in Europe.

This place is not bad at all. It's clean and comfortable, with a nice free breakfast. And it's in a good location!

A pretty decent hostel. The breakfast is good, the reception people spoke okay English, and the beds were okay. I think it's a bit more expensive than the other ex-prison hostel. All in all, a nice place.

This place isn't bad for an HI hostel, but given a chance I would stay here just because of the location and the lovely city, that Ljublijana. Not a bad place, but could be better, but there are no other hostles, so what do you do???
