Hostel Celica

Firstly the location is best to reach from the main bus station and rail station in Ljubljana. Also the staff were available for 24 hours. I had to checkin at 1 AM and they were cooperative. The rooms have all necessary basic amenities for the stay. The toilets were clean and the staff were really friendly. Also they take cards for the checkin payment

We had a great experience staying in the former prison. Our room had split level beds and bars on the door, and was very comfortable, with a view over Metelkova from the window. The staff were very friendly at check in, and there was a really nice bar, with decent Slovenian craft beer, and delicious pizzas, and an outside terrace with deckchairs and hammocks. Breakfast was ok, not the best selection, but there is a Lidl 5 minutes away with fresh pastries etc, so we went there. The location is ideal, 10 minutes from the bus and train stations, and a 15 minute walk to the Dragon Bridge in central Ljubljana. I also have to say that the shared bathrooms were cleaned frequently and had really hot, powerful showers.

Nice hostel, with a unique style. The ambience was really nice and the breakfast very generous. I think we did not have too much luck with our room, others seem to be more concerned than ours (room 105). I think the only issue were the toilets/showers. I think they could be cleaner- most of the time men toilets were quite dirty

Had a great stay here! The rooms are small, but very comfortable. Importantly, the staff managed to keep the rooms cool, even in the hot summer weather (unlike the other hostel that we stayed in, in Ljubljana city centre) 😬 Hostel Celica was really clean. Great breakfast and location for Ljubljana Old Town. There were only 2 showers, but it was fine! Overall I would definitely recommend and stay again.

Wonderful stay in an unique place. Located in the “alternative” part of town in a remodeled prison. Lots of character, friendly staff, great breakfasts provided and serves all ages! Easy walk in to old town.

I wish there was a way to leave more than 5 stars. Absolutely perfect. The hostel is big and beautiful. They upgraded me for free, and the room was gorgeous. The bed was comfortable, and the constant reminder to save energy was great. The breakfast was perfect. It was an all you can eat, not something usual for hostels. They allowed me to chill there after checkout till my bus.

This hostel is comfortably close to the train station, and it's just a short walk down to central Ljubljana. I have a bad foot from before I went on vacation and they were happy to accommodate me to a room where I didn't have to climb up to get to my bed. It only goes to show how customer oriented they are. The breakfast is small but lacking a bit. Would be nice to have some juices or more hearty bread but that's nitpicking.

The stay was an unforgettable experience. A little creepy with the bars on the windows and the feeling of being locked in, but also unique. The surrounding neighborhood is also worth seeing.
