Guest reviews for Hostel Celica

Rachel - 07/03/2026 22:29:39

"The staff were very friendly and helpful, it's less than a 10-minute walk to the city center or the central train/bus station, the room was clean/comfortable, the guest kitchen upstairs had a really cool/pretty setup (along with everything you need to cook dinner), and the various common areas on the ground floor (including an outdoor courtyard) were comfortable and inviting. Different artists contributed to the design of each room, so they're all different, which is pretty unique! We stayed for 4 nights and found the space would have been suitable for either a shorter or longer stay."

"It was a bit strange at first to be staying in a remodeled prison cell, but it's actually a really good idea for how to repurpose these spaces! There were only two toilets/showers in the women's restroom, which was fine for a stay in early March, but I could imagine there would be lines at a busier time of year. Our room had a round loft bed with ladders on both sides, which might not be suitable for someone with a fear of heights (but other rooms have a different setup)."

Guest reviews

"Very nice host and wonderful view and garden. we had very nice time in the room. Very big Supermarket is located 200 meters from the Villa. The kichen is fully equipped and everything is new."

"The property was lovely! Perfect for what we were looking for - a base to explore Slovenia. Bed was very comfortable and it was great to be able to cook a meal for ourselves."

"I don't even know where to start. Even in the days before our trip, we received all the information from the host. As soon as we entered the accommodation, I felt at home right away. I traveled with 2 dogs, and the host greeted them with little treats. The apartment is beautifully done, and the bed was so comfortable that we hardly wanted to get out of it. :D"

"A clean, quiet and well equipped apartment close to the village of Žirovnica. Walking distance to the bakery and market. Very close to the train station for an easy day trip into Ljubljana. Great advice from Marjetka and her husband for sightseeing and activities in the area, especially when the weather was rainy."

"We stayed just for one night, but liked everything! Very clean and cozy, there is everything you need and even more! Nice and open hosts! 10 minutes drive from Bled, but calm and quiet ❤️"

"The hosts were very hospitable and welcoming, making our stay perfect. The apartment was spacious, providing plenty of room, especially for kids to play. :) The location was great, with a pleasant walk to the lake and nearby hiking trails. It was ideal for a family stay!"

"The apartment has a bar and a grocery shop in the same building and is super close to the airport. has a/c, perfect new windows and mosquito nets. it's perfectly maintained and has all you need for a pleasant stay. We will be back for sure! there were even a couple of things to keep our 1 y.o. entertained."

"Tanja and her husband are so welcoming and accommodating. They made sure we were comfortable. The place is well equipped and well placed in a beautiful location. Recommend!!"
