    To rent a towel you need to pay so it is better to bring your own.

    Located in very good location walkable from city center also close to river good for walk in the morning. Best part I loved this place was cleaness. When you do check out you need to remove mattress,pillow,bed sheet you used and she will change to new one which I coudln't expect from other hostels. Also in kitchen everyone should wash and dry dishes they used which I feel very good. Host was nice, professional and gave lots of tips to travel Ljubljana. I stayed 3 nights but except one day room was not completely booked so I used alone or with just one girl.

    Only common space was the kitchen which closed at 10, made it a bit harder to meet people than other hostels I've stayed at, but still managed to meet some nice people to go the pub with so really can't complain too much.

    Aleks was a great host and super knowledgeable about the city; she suggested a lot of cool things I wouldn't have known about otherwise. Really nice location too, quiet spot by the river with a couple cafes/bars across the street.

    Everything clean and there were enough bathrooms. Also, the owner is very nice.

    The location is at the heart of ljublajana and close to the famous square, and next to the canal as well. But it was almost 20 min walk from the central bus station which bothered me because I had to make several rounds to it

    The staff was really helpful and went out of the way to check me in even when I was late at night to reach the property They had two standing fans in the dorms which was essential in the summer months and for a peaceful sleep. The bathroom was clean too.

    Noise is the main problem (bars across the street, roommates) but that is as one can expect. Not for the lightsleepers or early birds. Basic beds.

    Great location, definetely one of the more cleaner hostels for good price. Not too big. Staff very friendly and willing to help out with towels or booking cancellations.

    The bathrooms smelled quite bad, like mold.

    Fans made it easy to cool off the room, and it was a very nice walk along the river into the city center.

    Really friendly and helpful host. Nice(shared) bathroom facilities. Decent shared kitchen. Shortish walk into the old town.

    Despite you need a credit card to book the hostel, only cash is accepted as payment. The narrow road on the side of the hostel can get really full of cars during peak time, not a problem if you spend the day outside visiting the city. One of the nice bars on the other side of the canal was open till late on Saturday, with loud music till 1 am and loud people till 2: good if you are part of the party, a nightmare if you are trying to sleep. A bit expensive for being an hostel.

    The lady managing the hostel is really nice and helpful with lots of tips about the city, where to go and to eat. Room for 6 was ok with comfortable mattresses. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare a complete meal. Kids said wi-fi was ok :D Hostel is located a few mins on foot from city center.

    No towels available. Upon departure I asked why there were no towels (came back to hostel late at night). Staff explained to me that it was necessary to request a towel and pay deposit, as quests like to take towels away (information for all future visitors to the hostel). In the evening loud music can be heard from the surrounding bars. There is a church near the hostel and I personally find church bells in the morning very annoying and they are very loud.

    This hostel is in a very good location. You are in the center of the old part of Ljubljana in just a few minutes" walk. Very friendly staff. Near the hostel you have a shop (Mercator)and also a small shop with fresh vegetables and fruit, a bakery and many restaurants.

    Definitely a no problem stay :)

    The hostel is located in a beautiful area of Krakovo, just a 5 min walk from the main city squares. The room and bathroom were very tidy and cleaned up regularly. The lockers and the kitchen (equipped sufficiently even for serious cooking) were available and helpful, too. Plus the staff is very nice and eager to help.

    I found a good atmosphere, not too crowded but still easy to socialize. The hostel seems to be in an older house 10mins (beautiful) walk from the old town. Good location with restaurants, cafes and supermarkets around. Nice, small rooms with wooden beds with your own socket, bathrooms very clean, kitchen with great equipment. Aleks the manager is very open minded, friendly and helps you with any questions.
