Situated conveniently in the centre of Ljubljana, Boutique Hostel Angel offers free WiFi throughout the property and a garden. The property is around less than 1 km from Ljubljana Train Station, 3.4 km from Ljubljana Castle and 48 km from Adventure Mini Golf Panorama. Private parking is available on site.

Best hostel I've ever been to! Completly new with nice new furniture. Is very cozy like a small apartment, it has 10 beds in one big room along with kitchen and bathroom (divided in men and women).Close to the city center (could reach the center in 20 minutes walking) and to the bus and train station. The bed are very nice and comfortable and have curtains which is great for privacy. The lockers are big and can perfectly fit your luggage. The bathroom was very clean and had everything you need (like hairdryer). There's no reception so you receive via email the instructions to enter your room through a "key" on your phone (all very easy to use). The owner was always very nice and ready to help and responded to messsages really fast. He let us leave our luggages in the lockers right next the entrance (so you can get your luggage even after the checkout time when your virtual key doesn't work anymore). A very nice place you can tell they put lots of attention to small details, you feel like you're at home. I'll definitely come back next time I visit Lubiana:)

Cankar Hall is 1 km from the hostel and Ljubljana Castle is 1km away.

Very nice interior, cozy, if you want to avoid standard hotels and enjoy refurbished old house with creaky wooden boards while its snowing outside in the centre of Ljubljana then this is the place. Super polite host greeted us and welcomed. The room was clean and ready and we enjoyed it and its proximity to the city centre especially in winter with xmas market right around the corner.

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This hostel is pretty good for a travelling on budget as you get a place to stay with a free parking possibly and dogs allowed. The bathroom and kitchen are common, so it gives a bit of students dormitory vibe) The host is very friendly and helpful. He could notice our dog`s paw was bit injured so while check-in he provided us the info of the closest 24/7 open vet clinic. There`s also a very nice little garden fully closed by fence, so doggies can walk there.

    Best hostel type place I have stayed in. Very spacious common areas and the capsule rooms were actually quite comfortable. The location is brilliant as train/bus stations are just a 5 minute walk away and the main square is less than 10 minutes away. There is a deli on the street as well as a 24 kebab place. Lots of eateries nearby and very safe as over the road is the Police Station. Staff are very helpful and the place was spotless.

    This hostel was fantastic, right in the city centre by the river, and one of ljubljana's main squares. It was also very good value for money. The hostel was really well set up for socialising with other backpackers, and we made friends as there was a common room with games, a large kitchen space and seating at the reception with a mini bar. We felt very safe walking back at night as 2 female travellers as it was so centrally located. I would happily stay here again when I go back to ljubljana.
