    If you want to travel on a low budget , C- Punky Hostel is a good choice. The room are pretty good and cleaned. The bathrooms are small and not always clean. The location of the hostel is pretty good, it’s about 10 minutes walking from the city center. The hostel is located in a nice and quiet area.

    The room was very clean and newly furnished, the hotel is in a great location and has a very effective safety-ensuring door lock system (reception is on the top floor and you can only get to your room on your floor if you tap your room card in the elevator).

    Probably the cleanest, most well-maintained hostel in the world? Historic, atmospheric, private should you so wish, with superb breakfast options and communal areas, lively events, a dungeon, friendly staff and a great location. Really enjoyed our stay and can't recommend it enough.

    The lighting and theme of the hostel was very cool. The common space was big and clean, and there was coloured lighting in the room. Overall good vibes! If you are travelling with one other person, I’d highly recommend getting a private room with them as it was the same price (or maybe cheaper) than single beds in dorms in other hostels in Ljubljana. It was so lovely to have our own little space as a break from hostel dorms.

    We stayed two days in a mixed room of 12 and it was excellent. The hostel is unique and is located in a building that used to be a prison, the feeling is very safe and everything works with a magnetic card that you get at check-in. The lockers in the room are large, the design is modern and beautiful, the toilets and shower were always clean and it was always quiet. The breakfast was nice and a significant advantage of the hostel is the free parking, because parking costs a lot in Ljubljana and it's important to take that into account.

    Great location and very carrying nice staff. We could easily store our bikes safely at the property. Food and drinks looked also tasty in the Bar but we had only 1 night in the city so decided to go out instead. It was perfectly located with a lot of reataurants bars and caffes around. Very convenient. Although breakfast was dot provided we could have great coffee in the common kitchen area and we bought some food in the supermarket nearby. Great place for visiting Town.
