“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2007

When I booked a private double room, I didn't really expect a room with 2 bunk beds. We asked if anyone else was going to join us, thankfully not, but I can't say I particularly wanted to sleep in a bunk bed! Apart from that, the room was ok, with a sink, soap & towels provided. Bathrooms were shared, with one toilet and 2 showers for each sex. There was a computer downstairs with free internet access, which was nice, and a bit of a lounge area with a tv. There is also a kitchen you can use.
All the facilities are there, and it's clean, but rather dated & I didn't think it was great value at 25 euros each per night. There was no fan provided in the room, unlike most other hosteIs we stayed at, which wasn't great for summer. I think prices are pretty high in Piran, if this hostel was elsewhere it would have to be a bit cheaper.
It is well located though, & breakfast was fine, and I think it's one of few 'budget' options in Piran. It is really just a youth hostel though.

“Greta place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2006

people found this review helpful

This was our saviour after an awful experience with another hostel in Piran. Really enjoyed our stay here - nice and clean and well run. It's called a youth hostel but it's not really, although most rooms I think are twin bedded or triples. It's family-managed but is not overly friendly (which in my book is a positive point).

Good breakfast is included in the price and the location is excellent - a few metres from the sea down one of Piran's narrow streets. Free internet. Book on their website or just call them.

“Great Hostel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2006

person found this review helpful

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 bathrooms are kept really well; the hostel felt really safe, good security, really good location.
There is a small kitchen, and laundry room. And a water cooler! Great for when you come back from a days exploring. The free internet was really handy too.

And Piran was beautiful, quite small though so you can see everything in one or two days.

“Good little hostel/pension”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2005
2
people found this review helpful

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; at most, one toilet for each sex per floor and ours smelled quite intensely of ammonia and the temperatures of the showers were variable (mostly cold).
Breakfast was good, the usual bread and cereal choice but the fresh melon was a nice touch. Also there was free internet access for guests.
In all, if you’re quite happy to stay in a hostel, this place will do you fine.
