Guest reviews for Hostel Celica
"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)."
"Quirky rooms (all different, we had a real ex cell), very nice and clean. Great interior decor. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet good if a bit basic. Good coffee machine."

"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."
