the hostel picks you up when you arrive in Bled and takes you back to the hostel and they bring you into bled in the morning and bring you back in the evenings. The staff are very friendly. Free breakfast is a simple continental breakfast, dinner is fantastic and is 6 euros (please note there is no where else near by to eat food).

The owners of the hostel are wonderful....the sweetest people we could have hoped for.

It is so familiar

This hostel was great. Damian (the owner) was so friendly, agreeable, and honest. Dinner made by his wife was definately worth it - delicious! I would absolutely stay here again.

Friendly family staff. Free pick up and drop off to bus and train stations and Bled. Great food!
16 August 2008
Just like all the other reviews stated, perfect place to meet other travellers. The only disadvantage could be that, if you do not have any transport, you are dependant to the owners to pick you up from Bled (about 10 minutes drive, about 7 or 8 km) WHICH THEY ARE GLADLY TO DO by the way. Location is quiet an a bit remote, but the view is wonderfull. Very nice food, every day something different for 6 Euro's a dinner (august '08) and breakfast is included I would certainly reccomend this place, since it is ver good value for money. Felt at home !

damien the owner was really helpful and funny no matter what anyone says. he told us all about the region collected us and dropped us loads and organised all the activities even though he was busy with other guest. its a really homey place and the food was really nice and tradition with massive portions for 6 euro. we will def be coming here again!!

The hostel owners managed to prepare 3 course slovenian meals for 6euros which was great. They offer a wide range of activities and offer drop off and pick up to the lake (at certain times) which is handy as there is no punctual bus to bled.

Atmosphere. Funny owner!
7 August 2008
Second time traveling Europe and the best hostel weve encountered! Makes Slovenia a perfect place!
2 August 2008
Couple who run the hostel are lovely. Make sure you have one of the homecooked meals - delicious! The only downside was the location - you're right in the middle of nowhere. But it is a beautiful nowhere, and the owner will drive you to bled and back for free.

the owners of this hostels couldnt be friendlier, location not the best but free lifts solves this.
15 July 2008
Very nice and friendly staff
4 July 2008
The staff was awesome! The rooms were smaller but it makes it possible to get a full nights rest. I would definitely stay here again!
30 June 2008
It was in a little village, good to see something a bit different, and the distance away from the town didnt matter because you got driven to town, station etc
30 June 2008
Lovely hostel in quiet location. Quiet far from Bled but owner happy to give lifts and even get up early if necessary. Great dinner too! Only downside was a little too quiet- only 3 other guests.
27 June 2008
The hostel is biriliant. Damien (Papa) and Mama are really helpful and hostpitible. The home cooked Slovenian meals are brilliant and 6 Euro for three courses they are dirt cheap as well. The hostel is a little far from Bled but Damien drives you whenever you want so it isnt a problem. I would say that for parties over about 5 people this may get akward. You also get a free breakfast. Proper Slovenian hospitality.
19 June 2008
the dinner perfect in quantity and quality only for 6 euros.
26 May 2008
Excellent staff, wonderful dinner on offer. A little out of town but no problem since you can get a free shuttle back and forth.
17 May 2008
Friendly staff, free transfers to and from town and the rail station
29 April 2008
This place is quiet and the 3 course home-cooked evening meals are delicious and a bargain (6 Euro)! Staff very helpful and the rooms very clean. Although the hostel is located a little outside Bled it is never a problem as the hostel staff will drive you to the centre of town each day and pick you up (transfers from the train station to the hostel are also a bonus.
5 April 2008
The whole experience is wonderful, the location is beautiful and the fact that it's far away is fine as Damien drives you where you need to go.. the food is home cooked and amazing-lovely hosts and great way to experience real Slovenia! Didn't want to leave!!
