From the moment we checked in this place left us underwhelmed. The staff are not very welcoming or friendly. The room we had was dark and run down in another building down the street. One of the lights wasn't working, the answer from the staff was that they'd get it fixed - "probably tomorrow". Would strongly recommend looking for somewhere... More

We stayed here for 1 night in August 2011 and found this hostel to be friendly,clean and well located to everything that you need in Ljubljana. We were leaving early the next day to Bled so it was handy that the bus station was only a 10-15 minute walking away and with it being located right on the river it... More

Every slowenien is friendly and helpfull, if you want to meet the unfriendly go to this place because they work here! Further the rooms are ok but noisy, the place is still underconstruction, there are no real commonrooms. Everything seems to be written on a pice of paper, so there is no need talking to the vistiors. If you can... More

This hostel is right on the river at the Dragon Bridge. It's just down the street from the train station and major buses and just below the castle. More

The great advantage for this hostel is the location: centered and quiet - it's about 5 minutes from Triple Bridge where the city center is. The rooms are small but clean and nicely decorated. We stayed in a double room with shared bathroom - it looked like a small apartment with 3 rooms and one bathroom and one kitchen fully... More

The hostelworld website displayed photos of washing machines / dryers in rooms. The place looked OK in the photos, unfortunately the place was run down (i.e., lights not working, windows falling off hinges, shower doors broken, toilet seat broken, little or no internet connectivity in rooms or reception, cold showers, &c.). On the evening of 27 February the manager entered... More

Whle this hostel is very clean and new, I just wasn't very impressed with it. The three bed dorm is very cramped and the loft ceilings are so low that you hit your head when you stand (and I'm not very tall at all). There was only one shower and one toilet, in the same room, to share between 9... More

Having never been to Slovenia, I had no idea what to expect from the city in general, let alone its accomodations. Even without expectations, though, I was really pleased with Simbol Castle: it was very comfortable and warm (important in the middle of February), the staff was above and beyond hospitable, and the room was easily affordable. The location was... More
