We had a fantastic time at Pri Katrci. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the room was huge with tv and power shower, and the breakfasts were marvellous (eggs, chocolate crepes, orange juice, coffee, bread, cheese and ham - all included in the room price!) They even have their own driver who drove us all the way to Lake Bled, waited for us for 3 hours, and drove us back for little more than the price of a couple of train tickets.

Obviously being a 24 hour place there will be a bit of noise but it was by no means excessive and no worse than your average hotel in a town centre. If you're after a peaceful room, don't book yourself into a hostel that's open all night!

All in all this was exceptional value for money and we will definitely be going back on our return to Ljubljana. Thank you to all the staff for making our trip so great.

Having read the previous reviews, I was a bit sceptical about staying here, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Our room was fantastic - big, with en-suite bathroom, TV, and very comfy bed. It was above the bar, but in the three nights we stayed there, there was only one time that I was aware of the noise and that was after they started pumping dance music at 6am, but I was so knackered after walking around the incredibly pretty city and castle, that I went straight back to sleep!

As for the breakfast, we figured that one out. The waitress who speaks no English brings you scrambled eggs with ham / whatever on toast (which was delicious by the way). The waitress who does speak English will bring you bread, ham, cheese, gorgeous chocolate pancakes, or whatever you ask for if they have it. If you don't like scrambled eggs, I'd recommend using the language section of your guidebook to say 'no eggs please, just toast' or something.The coffee is really good too by the way.

The Owner of the Gostilna is brilliant - she speaks good English and will tell you anything you need to know about where to go and what to do. They have their own taxi driver who you can call at any time and is very 'enthusiastic'! We hired him for the day to go to Lake Bled and it was great. He dropped us off where and when we wanted and then picked us up again. He also knows a brilliant short-cut to the airport!

When I go back to Ljubljana, I'm definitely staying here again.

This place is a hell hole
i booked to stay there for 3 nights
but i walked out the very next morning
My room was basic with a capital B
no tv a shower without a curtain around it
and music blaring all night long
I went to the tourist information and they had never heard of it

We stayed at the hotel for three nights and they were the worse nights ever! Our room was very nice, large and clean but unfortunately directly above the 24 hour bar. It was so noisy all night as its a big student area. The locals must get really annoyed. So we didn't sleep at all but we thought that the breakfast would make up for it - what a mistake!. We arrived downstairs to an empty and dark bar. No breakfast was layed out so we sat there for a few minutes when the waitress came out and asked us if we wanted tea or coffee. We then waited for another 10 minutes and were presented with a cup of tea and a plate of scrambled eggs (with bits of sausage in it) on a slice of white bread (I don't like scrambled eggs or sausage!). That was it - no more was offered - no orange, no toast, no marmalade, no cereal, no bread, no nothing! We ate our meagre breakfast and went out for the day (and the torrential rain ruined our shoes). The hotel had no hairdryer but did serve good pizzas (just don't ask for pineapple!). Its more like a hostel than a hotel. The one pair of guests we encountered were equally as annoyed as we were and could'nt wait to leave to get to lake Bled - which is a much more beautiful place than Ljubljana. Stay somewhere else unless you like lots of noise and no breakfast. It was very cheap though - but I still expected more from a three star hotel. Saying that Solvenia is still developing along with there hospitality so there is hope.
