Hostel Hostel Celica Art
Metelkova 8, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia – Great location - show map
This hostel was neat and relaxing. We had a cell room and it was very interesting. The room and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable and hostel staff were helpful and friendly. There are a few nice common spaces for hanging out.

I liked how attentive and kind the staff are--when I couldn't figure out how to turn the heat down, or how to turn the shower on, the lady cleaning immediately contacted Alexandra at front desk and she was right there. All the staff, from front desk to the ones serving breakfast to a record crowd of marathon runners, were pleasant and cordial and always spoke and asked how my stay was. I liked that the 4 person dorm room had its own shower, toilet, etc.--very convenient. Everything is so clean and well taken care of. It's fun to be there! It's so eco-friendly!

Everything was excellent. Location, price, staff, cleanliness, comfortable bed - all fantastic! Well done, Celica Art!

The staff was fantastic. They reached out to me via e-mail as soon as I made the reservation, let me store my luggage there when I arrived, before check in time, and helped me plan my trip in Slovenia

Well-located, friendly staff, nice kitschy atmosphere

Location is perfect. Bed and pillow were super comfy. Staff was friendly and helpfull. Love the hamock in the garden. Everything is new and clean.

It’s hands down one of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed in, the staff is so helpful and has great tips for what to do in the city! Also the fact that it used to be a prison just adds to the charm of the place. Strangely enough..

Family of three stayed here for one night on our way through. Definitely a unique experience. Hostel was clean and our room had air conditioning so there were not as many noise issues. Be prepared for small rooms (they are jail cells after all) but we were a bit better after we figured out how to put the beds up. Breakfast was simple but fine. Close to the train station but off in its own place in town.

I stayed here with my husband and 10 year old daughter (in a triple room). It was fun, the staff were great and they held concerts at night. Definitely recommend it for both an affordable alternative to a hotel and also a unique experience.

Very friendly staff. Everything is onsite that you might need, like coffee at 7:30 am. The location was fun and convenient. There are lots of great common areas to hang out, and easy to find people to talk with or play games with. The area adjacent to the hostel is fun to walk through, and we enjoyed the 15 minute walk to and from downtown Ljubljana. The walk to and from the train station was 10-15 minutes, and the hostel was easy to find.
