This place was fun to stay in because being a former prison it was different from your average hostel! The breakfast was good and the room rates were reasonable. The kitchen area was a bit small but the common areas on the ground floor were great and they organise a lot of interesting events for the evenings. More

This hostel is well situated: 5 minutes from the train station and 5 minutes from the city center. It’s an old Yugoslavian military jail. Thus, the tiny rooms are the old prison cells but there are still the jail bars on the windows and the doors. It’s a lot of fun. Rooms aren’t as scary as real prison cells because... More

This hostel is in easy walking distance from the train/bus station,5-10 mins., and if you need help ask anyone on the street, the younger the better. We got in at 10 pm but the streets were alive and the young folks out and about are all very helpful. The rooms are tiny, we had a four bed room for a... More

Hostel Celica has got a name recognition somehow, many tourists try to stay here, no matter what, when they travel to Ljubljana. ( I am one of them !) I find staff here a bit rote(or rote work). They are not rude, but apparently not very friendly, either. The room I chose was really small ! or due to the... More

We loved this hostel. It is very clean, has a good breakfast, a great chill out area and a bar. All the room are decorated totally differently. We did the hostel tour which was unfortunately not really a tour just a view of some of the other cells and how they have been decorated. We would have loved some history... More

Hostel Celica was clean and quite modern. It's location is pretty good, although the neighborhood seems to be a little restless. Staff was helpful. Breakfast was ok. However, the dining area was crammed with really hungry Japanese tourists. I had to struggle to get a bite to eat! Apparently the hostel was fully booked and everyone wanted to eat at... More

The breakfast included is great but we did have one problem. 4 members of our party all had money stolen from their locked... More
