“Not great but okay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

This hostel is okay, location is very near to the main square but about 20 minutes to train station. The room was okay, but doesnt look like there is someone who clean it on daily basis. Other things are okay but I was a little bit surprised to find they don't have kitchen. It would also be better if they give key for the room, even its a dorm, its better for security.

“Close to everything but thats it”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

So we didn't plan well and did not book a hostel for Ljubljana. So we were desperate, and settled here. So the hostel was gross. We got a private room, and the bed was nasty. There was crumbs all over the bed and carpet. Looked like someone just left and it wasn't cleaned before we got in. Its very loud as there is a bar right outside. The showers were horrible, there was mold all over the ceiling and the shower curtains were slimey, and they smelled of urine. The girl at the front desk was just miserable, we were waiting to see if they had a room for us, and they way she was talking to the people ahead was terrible. No breakfast included, but free computers. This would def be an absolute last resort place, and only for 1 night. The only thing it has going for it was the location.

Room Tip: Great location, close to train and bus station...thats it

“Alibi Hostel, Ljubljana - bad experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We wanted to stay with my wife and 2 kids an overnight at Ljubljana Sept-2011 and have booked a night at perfectly located Alibi Hostel. Nice pictures in internet, nice expectations., but turns out the pictures have nothing to do with reality. The hostel is perfectly located and building is old style and nice but: surprisingly weared out rooms and extremely dirty inside, maybe not cleaned for months! The hostel staff is absolutely careless and arogant, first asking you pay the room, before seen it, well later if you like - stay.
This hostel is a shame for this lovely country, how they allow it exist.
Ljubljana is real nice place to stay and better choose another even little more expensive hotel, not to spoil your impression.

“Very nice!”

Hostel has the best setting zou can ask for, it is situated in the verz verz heart of everything, overlooking the river, with the entrance on the hippiest street of Ljubljana packed with charming cofffee places and winehouses. You are exactly one minute from the Main place and our room was also with nice balcony. Staff was bit slow but I think it was just because they did not speak English well. PRices very reasonable and everyhting was clean!

This hostel was a disappointment. It was dirty, the facilities smelling like urine and the staff was little helpful. Despite the bad experience at the hostel Ljubljana was a wonderful city and we'll come back! (Staying at another hostel)
