Cankar Hall is 1 km from the hostel and Ljubljana Castle is 1km away.

The owner, Marija,is a wonderfully kind host. She made phone calls to assist me with an issue I had trying to get COVID testing. She went above and beyond to help me by doing some research to help direct me to the best option. Then she also helped to make arrangements for early morning Saturday transfer to the airport. As for the property: The place is great! Modern, clean bathroom. Bed was comfortable and the towels and sheets were fresh and clean, as was the room. The location is in the heart of the Old Town. It's in a great location and easy access to the main historical sites. I have traveled to more than 90 countries. This is one the top hotels I have ever stayed at.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This hostel is pretty good for a travelling on budget as you get a place to stay with a free parking possibly and dogs allowed. The bathroom and kitchen are common, so it gives a bit of students dormitory vibe) The host is very friendly and helpful. He could notice our dog`s paw was bit injured so while check-in he provided us the info of the closest 24/7 open vet clinic. There`s also a very nice little garden fully closed by fence, so doggies can walk there.

    Best hostel type place I have stayed in. Very spacious common areas and the capsule rooms were actually quite comfortable. The location is brilliant as train/bus stations are just a 5 minute walk away and the main square is less than 10 minutes away. There is a deli on the street as well as a 24 kebab place. Lots of eateries nearby and very safe as over the road is the Police Station. Staff are very helpful and the place was spotless.

    This hostel was fantastic, right in the city centre by the river, and one of ljubljana's main squares. It was also very good value for money. The hostel was really well set up for socialising with other backpackers, and we made friends as there was a common room with games, a large kitchen space and seating at the reception with a mini bar. We felt very safe walking back at night as 2 female travellers as it was so centrally located. I would happily stay here again when I go back to ljubljana.
