  • Clean: Rating of 4.4 out of 5

    "The hostel was exceptionally clean and the staff were lovely, but despite the uniqueness of the prison aspect (room was a former cell), there was very little to excite or endorse about this place, there was no fun despite the very loud nusic that was played in the bar." source Hostelworld

    "Otherwise, the hostel was run efficiently, the rooms were clean, they had fun BBQ's and Cocktail nights and free breakfast." source Hostelworld

    "Highly recommended tho if you want a clean, comfy stay and don't mind the commercialisation of everything about the place." source Hostelworld

    "5 minutes from train and bus station, very new and tidy hostel, having a nice cusual cafe and bar." source Hostelworld

    "All the reviews are true, great location, good breakfast, clean but small rooms, good experience." source Hostelworld

  • Service: Rating of 4.2 out of 5

    "self service laundry a bit expensive at 7euro but the food, drink and events in the bar were excellent." source Hostelworld

  • Location: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "Excellent location and sign posted from the station." source Hostelworld

  • Value

    "This part was really cool, but our room was a bit small for the price and we were kept awake by music from the bar till the early hours." source Hostelworld

    "Having said that, the place was good value, food was excellent and Ljubliana itself a cool place to spend a couple of days." source Hostelworld

    "Breakfast is included so its quite good value but dorms are quite squeezed." source Hostelworld

    "much better value than alibi hostel where we stayed the previous evening." source Hostelworld

  • Room

    "Do ask for a painted cell room though, as we assumed from Lonely Planet that all rooms would be painted cells, and not all of them are." source Hostelworld

    "The 4 bed rooms upstairs have skylights and no curtains, so you\'ll find yourself waking up at sunrise a lot." source Hostelworld

    "FANTASTIC hostel with great rooms and facilities- I would come back to Ljlubljana just to visit this hostel." source Hostelworld

    "My en-suite didn\'t have a shower or toilet, they were broken but didnt find out until I was in the room." source Hostelworld

    "The rooms were a little small, as were the beds and there wasn�t alot of room for your stuff." source Hostelworld
