The location was good but that was about it, had to leave 1 day early after hostel owner was extremely aggresive, charge extortiante 8 euro for washing and then shrink everything, no apologies. Changed price of final stay by 4 euros once he had realised all other hostels were booked up in Llujbljana, effectively inviting 2 girls to roam the streets, gertting on the overnight train was preferable to staying in the hostel another night. Other travellers complained about the dual personality of the manager. Was once to a high standard but poor upkeep of bathrooms, lightbulbs, kitchen facilities. Would not recommend!

The room was really new and clean. Only one bathroom for about 15 people, although you did have a whole bathroom and not just a cubicle. A bathroom bench when travelling seems so deluxe.

the location
23 August 2008
Staff were extremely helpful, free internet on 2 computers, location is great (quiet yet central) and the rooms are clean and cosy. The kitchen is not really big enough, it is rather a kitchenette, but overall the place is great value for money!
15 August 2008
Clean, comfortable, roomy. Great space for multiple people in one room, if in a group. Free Internet usage. Locked front gate (i.e. castle) made it more secure. Location great to nearby outdoor market, along the canal, 10 minute walk to city centre and bus/train station. (NOTE: The walk to the hostel is on a side street - with road construction as of this writing - and takes at least 10 minutes.)

A really good choice for Ljubljana, one of the nicest places we have stayed in to date. Nice spacious and clean rooms, each dorm has its own kitchen and bathroom. Excellent location, just minutes walk from the old town, main square and castle. Free wifi was a bonus.
24 June 2008
Great location near the Old Town (far better location than Celica), huge rooms with flat beds (ask for the four-bed dorm), two free internet terminals, friendly staff and a compact common area with a leather couch and TV.
