Hostel Vrba

Loved this place. Helpful, friendly, very clean, everything worked. When I arrived the receptionist gave me a map and talked through lots of recommendations with helpful tips on how much things should cost . My only wish is that the kitchen didn't have to close at 22:00, not because I want to cook after 10pm but because the common room is part of the same space. It's quite warm at night (early September), our 4-bed room came with a large opening window and two fans which was enough but in mid-summer I'd be tempted to spend more and get a hostel with air-con.

Nice hostel in an easy enough location. Major highlight was the incredible detailed recommendations. If you just do what is suggested on the map you will have an incredible visit. The rooms were super hot even with fans but that’s the time of the year! Not a super social hostel but if you get there at the right time or have nice roommates it’s then easy to have a great time. Well equipped kitchen if you’re cooking but there’s also pretty cheap food around if you need it!

Great location and very clean rooms and common spaces. The kitchen was a great place to meet fellow travelers, and it's a short walk to the main touristy area of town. They were very helpful and accommodating with luggage storage. Would stay here again.

Very good hostel, a bit further from the city center but excellent old-school hostel experience. Very clean and the staff is friendly and always willing to give you adresses to go to in Ljubljana !

Let's start with the positives; location, location, location! Now, for the downsides; the hostess is nuts, sneaks around keeping an eye on things in a creepy fashion. The place stinks of chorine but mould is rampant on the second floor. The kitchen is cramped and the oven doesn't work. The place is pretty dirty and the bannister is hanging loose from the wall. Very expensive considering the poor state of repair. Stay at hostel Celina if you can, 100 times better! I was travelling with my wife plus 2 children, 11 & 13 years of age. I made my dissatisfaction known to Aleks, the owner but she didn't care.

I enjoyed by time in Slovenia and spent 3 nights at this hostel. I originally booked at AdHoc but they had a bed bug infestation so all their bookings were transferred to different hostels. Upon arrival we were greeted by Alex, they were really helpful and friendly and the highlight of the hostel. But the cleanliness was an issue, it was very unclean likely due to the small amount of bathrooms to the amount of people. Kitchen facilities are basic, oven doesn't work. Rooms very warm. Obviously it's a cheap hostel we expected those things and perhaps we got a bad time or whatever. But the main issues were external. The bars across the river are really loud into the early hours of the morning and to stall cool the windows needed to be open, even when closed it was super loud. Then from very early (about 6am) church bells sound for long periods at quite random and frequent times. It meant I was really unable to sleep well throughout the night. Others we met had the same issue.

Absolute best Hostel I've stayed in. Very clean and nice facilities. Our hostel receptionist/possible owner, Alex, was the absolute friendliest and most helpful person. She went out of her way to explain to us what to do in Slovenia and how to save money. A gem of a person and a gem of a place. A must stay!

Very friendly hostel. Very knowledgable & welcoming staff. Good location. Ljubljana very easy to move around on foot. Good bathroom & shower - hot water. Staff happy with early check out. Nice beds in dorm, clean linen, with lamp & charging plug per bed. Very good. Would return.
