There are several hostels to choose from in Piran, but I'm glad we went for Val. The name doesn't sound particularly inspiring but this place had everything we wanted - and more. The location is excellent, just a few steps from the restaurants, bars and beach, and in a town with so many winding, cobbled streets, it was handy to... More

Although the Hotel Val is nothing special, the location and price can't be beat. It is less than a 30 second walk to the water's edge and a promenade of several charming cafes and restaurants. The simple room with a queen bed and sink (in room) cost us about US$75/night. The restrooms were down the hall were very clean. The... More

We stayed here for 1 night on a foray to the coast from Ljubljana. Hostel Val is very basic, we had a double room with bunk beds, which was pleasant enough. albeit a bit stuffy. There is a computer, but people were always using it, in the lobby. Shared bathrooms were large and usually unoccupied, and were kept pretty clean.... More

My Boyfriend and I stayed here around the end of August 2005 Its on the pricier end of things as hostels go but it is excellent value for money! The breakfast was brilliant: lots of lovely fresh fruit, cheeses, yoghurts, loads of cereal, bread, CHOCOLATE spread!! =) Rooms are fine, bunkbeds but we got a room to ourselves. The shared... More

This is a nice little hostel in the heart of Piran's winding alleys. The hostel is family run, but to be honest, not overly friendly. The rooms are good for a hostel, there were two of us in a three bed-room and they didn't try and let out the third bed despite being fully booked. The washing facilities are fair/poor;... More
