I have stayed in the H2ostel with a school trip, this hostel is not fit for groups. The accomodation varied from a very small three bed bedroom with a shared bathroom for 3 rooms to an apartment with own bathroom, kitchen and living room. My experience was very bad, in the small bedroom in the reception building there were bedbugs,... More

I got a double room here with a private bathroom. I thought that the rate was quite reasonable, although the room is quite spartan and bare. Wifi is included, though and it's warm and clean. It's a convenient location - about 15 minutes from the train station and 10 minutes to the city centre. The staff were very friendly. For... More

Actual room was pretty good. Staff seemed bothered by my check in and were completely disgusted by my use of a 50 euro note. When I asked for the wifi password she again seemed like I should have intuited it was written on the wall behind me. At 3 pm they were cleaning the room and I couldn't get in... More

This hostel is located just in front of the river, ideal for an evening walk along the river, and only few minutes walk from the three bridges. The atmosphere in the hostel is relaxed. Staff is helpful and friendly, and in the reception there is a tv and two computers with free internet. (free Wifi in the hostel also) Girl... More

Just okay but definately not recommended. People were not really friendly. There was only one bathroom for too many people and everything seemed really crowded. Not really something you will remember, so just take it if nothing else is available.

On our trip we mainly stayed in a private room but we were unable to find one in Ljubljana, so we stayed at H2ostel in a 4-bed dorm for 2 nights. The bed was just a mattress on the floor and there was a lock up cupboard in the room which was quite spacious. The bathrooms were clean enough and... More

Ljubljana is a small capital, so everything is close to the the hostel. But it is in the middle of the city. In the surrounding area there are a lot of bars, coffees, restaurants those make the place intimate, youthful, or just romantic - you can find everything for your taste. Almost every sights are in 5-10 mins walk. If... More
