Lonely Planet review

The 39 rooms are spartan but bright and comfortable: there's a good buffet breakfast and guests can use the hotel's sport centre, which includes a gym, squash and badminton courts. The location can be off-putting if you want to be close to the action.

It's a step up from a hostel, but not a huge one: the main difference between it and the Ljubljana Youth Hostel (sharing the premises) is that the majority of rooms are private singles, doubles and triples. They're all uniformly small, with the bare (but clean) essentials, including tiny bathrooms with a shower. Breakfast is served cafeteria-style for everyone from both the hotel and hostel, making for a friendly and convivial atmosphere when busy. But the biggest draw, besides the price, is the excellent sports centre, which is open from 07:00 to 24:00. Not surprisingly, the hotel is favoured by young people who aren't concerned with slumming it a little so long as they get discounted rates for the swimming pool and sporting facilities.
