Sax pub

This review is for the bar alone as we did not stay in the hostel. We were here a couple of times during our stay in Ljubljana and had an AWESOME time. The staff was always welcoming and friendly, the music was great, and the atmosphere was super chill. We had the pleasure of running into the manager, Marjan, and he was such a great guy. He and his team definitely work hard to maintain a quality property and he truly cares about what he does. We would definitely be back here if we found ourselves in the area again. Hvala to the entire staff for helping us to have a great time!

Beware Bedbugs!!!|I thought I had a nice stay until I came away covered in bedbug bites. The location is okay, close to a bus stop, on a street with nice restaurants and cafes, and a short walk away from the old town. |Sadly I didn’t see the reviews of bedbugs on Hostelworld until I had left. I stayed in the Louis room and came away covered in bites. :(

Just across the road from the main tourist hub , this bar sits in a quite residential neighbourhood overlooking a small stream with ample out door seating to get away from the crowds . Great choice of beers from around Europe including our favourite Augustiner. Didn't eat there but plenty of var snacks to keep you going.

Cozy, clean and comfortable cottage like room that we booked. Location is perfect 👌 Hosts are friendly.

Great hostel, with either amazing staff or horrible staff. About half of the staff are so friendly and helpful, while the other half seem like they dont want to be there. The rooms are nice and nothing really to put a finger on, other than the staff. You could argue that it is a bit pricey, but nothing egregious.

Would rather camp next time. One bed likely had bedbugs as we left in the morning pock marked and bitten all over. Air conditioning made stuff damp in the room. A noticeable percentage of the bar staff were rude. On one occasion a waiter shushed me when I asked to pay the bill and continued to clear tables and bring new drinks out for 10 minutes before I went in to ask to pay again. Another example was when I ordered a beer at the bar and the guy was explaining the types of beer like a condescending snob. They made us wait 30 mins when we were trying to check in because the bar was busy even though the check in process took 3-4 minutes at most. Not all the staff were rude eg one of the bar backs apologised for the wait. the lady behind the bar and the receptionist were generally pleasant too but the rest of them were contemptible Only benefit was that it was walking distance from the centre of town. Beer was on the expensive side too. Found it ironic that it’s called Sax Pub and we didn’t hear any saxophone or jazz music while there for 3 days

Perfect location, confortable bed and many bathrooms. Very clean. 100% would recommend

I spent 4 nights at the Sax Pub hostel. It wasn't particularly bad, but it wasn't good either. The hostel is clean, there is a basic kitchen, the location is perfect, but it's nothing more than just a few stuffy dorms with worn-out beds to sleep in. Music from the pub stays loud until about midnight, so if you're an early sleeper, this place is not for you. There are only 2 bathrooms (+3 toilets), so you have to wait a bit to get ready in the morning. There is no common room or a place to hangout, besides the pub, but if you sit there, you have to order something. There was not really somebody around to ask for inquiries; the people who run the pub looked too busy to ask. I left covered in what I assume are bedbug bites. If you're just looking for a place to crash for a night and get out again, it's okay, but if you prefer an hostel with more amenities, book something else.
