Lively hostel with something fun to do every night

The location of this hostel alone is perfect. It's right by the train station and signs guide you the whole way then it's a short walk to the city center. The hostel has something fun every night, which is a great way to meet people such as a bbq and another night was cooking food they provided. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

Fun hostel

Lots of locals packed the bar on Tuesday and Friday night for the live local music, which was excellent. No pop covers here; it was all local and traditional. Food from the bar was cheap and good. I became addicted to the veggie toasted sandwich. Door to the hostel rooms upstairs was key-controlled so it felt safe even though the first floor was open to the public. The location near the train station is quite convenient and the staff were friendly and very helpful.

Fun, clean, but messy shower

We arrived in Ljubljana at night and walked straight past the side street for the hostel celica but found it soon after. The blue signs they mention are for cars, so they apply to the street after they are posted. The hostel itself is practically a hotel, with a restaurant/bar in the downstairs, good wifi, and clean rooms and a fun atmosphere with fun people. We stayed in the dorm, which was fine though we both managed to hit our heads on the sloped ceiling when we woke up. Our room's shower also leaked so the entire washroom was quite wet. Be wary of the luggage room as it is down the hall from the reception/bar and was left unlocked when we were there. Also, I would've guessed the house down the street was a lot sketchier than described, from the surprising amount of graffiti in the area. On the plus side, the breakfast was standard slovenian hostel foods (aka really good! There was cheese/salami, bread, cereal, nutella/jams/butter).

Safe hostel but overpriced.

It was our first night to stay in Slovenia. It is interesting to sleep in a cell (previously a prison), but it is worth to try. Good location is the essential point that we chose this hostel, it is very close to bus station and fifteen minutes' walk to the old city of Ljubljana. Although it priced a bit high as compared with other places we stayed in Ljubljana, it was clean and the breakfast was great.

Visited this hostel in January. Rooms were very overcrowded, showers not clean either. I felt ill after eating the breakfast. Totally lacks a soul, could be better.

Overpriced

We visited this hostel twice. It is alright, but very overpriced for what it offers. Our main problem is that they decided not to honour our booking on our second stay and had decided to increase the price. The acknowledged that we had booked at a lower price (which was still more than it was worth), but they wanted to charge the higher price as it was busy and given that we had no options, we paid an extra 20 euro each over three nights. In addition, the rooms are some of the most cramped rooms I have ever experienced in a hostel. It lacks atmosphere and soul. Despite being new, it is not really very clean.

The staff are friendly, the cafe has cheap food that is very good, the free internet is a great bonus. The design of this hostel is very relaxing and aesthetically pleasing. My room had a great mosaic in the entry way and I love the open spaces with lots of light. One of my rooms did have bedbugs, which was unpleasant, but when I told the staff they handled the problem and moved me to another room. The only drawback was the very noisy nightclub next door. The party-goers were still playing loud techno music and yelling at 9 a.m. Bring earplugs. Oh, the free breakfast was also very hardy and good. I would stay there again.

A great hostel in a pretty good area of the city that's quite close to the centre. The design of this place was great with a very relaxing Oriental caf, the graffiti exterior and surroundings look amazing. The bar has some excellent beers and the kitchen does the best burger ever. Size of a plate it is with so many different sauces inside that make staying here worth while. There are a few good reason why you should stay here; great location, great architecture, tourist hotspot due to the great architecture, clean showers, and day trips to all Slovenia has to offer including walks, cycling, and boat trips. However -- the rooms although great feats of design are not that practical, I have stayed in two of the rooms with my girlfriend and neither of them are particularly practical. The first I stayed in for example had two single beds eight foot of the floor where you needed to climb a very awkward ladder just to sit some where comfy as the only other things in the room to sit on were few wooden tables. Everyone staying there had to prop the door open most of the day and night just to let some air circulate as the rooms were oven like in the heat. The staff weren't that friendly but they were always helpful so I won't complain about that. There is music that played most nights I was there and this went on until 3 a.m. which made sleeping very differcult. The burgers that I have already mentioned are the thing that has made me give four star, they are amazing.
