Hostel Celica Art Reviews

Hostel Celica Art provides a very interesting history and place to stay, suitable for both solo and small group travelers. The building itself has a unique feel and gives guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the real Slovenia. Hostel Celica Art is a fun and unusual experience and definitely recommended.

The Location

The neighbourhood of this hostel is quite unique and popular in Ljubljana. The characteristics of the surrounding streets give a good representation of the artistic side of the city. The hostel is conveniently located a very short walk (ten minutes) from the bus and train station, so no taxi is necessary. The hostel is also only a short walk from the city centre, parks, and points of interest across the town. Access to shopping centres is easy and closely located.

Rooms and Bathrooms

All rooms in this hostel are very new and therefore clean and modern. The hostel provides both private rooms and up to seven-bed dorm rooms. All rooms are fresh and give a comforting feel to guests. The private rooms have been artistically renovated recently and give guests a stylish place to stay whilst reflecting the previous function of the building.

Within the seven-bed dorm room there is a large modern bathroom with one shower and one toilet, as well as an additional basin and mirror (outside the main bathroom). This allows ease of access for all guests sharing the dorm. The shower is of good quality, pressure, and temperature.

There are lockers (suitably sized for a large rucksack) assigned to each guest and lockable with the main key card used for building and room entry.

Common Spaces

The hostel provides guests with several common areas for hanging out, meeting new friends, and dining. There is a main kitchen (not for use by guests) and bar with restaurant. There are comfortable sitting areas with nooks for guests to chill out, and there are outdoor sitting spaces also. The dorm rooms share a common kitchen with fridge (no freezer), which is clean and provides sufficient cutlery and kitchenware. The hostel offers a book exchange and luggage storage. There is ample opportunity for travelers to meet other guests and have a drink or two.

Summary

Overall, this hostel is very trendy and well recommended. The vibe of the city is reflected in the hostel itself. Guests are welcomed and made to feel comfortable. There is a daily tour of the hostel building, which gives a great introduction for visitors to the history of the hostel and its area. A funky and fresh place to stay, the hostel is well located for those wishing to immerse themselves in the city during the day or the night.
