We enjoyed staying here. It was close to everywhere we wanted to go in the city. Staff was friendly. The only drawback was no air conditioning, but we knew this when we booked. We did open a window for a bit, but it was too nosey to leave open. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Nice, charming place, but needs upkeep.

We really liked the hotel, but the shower leaked water all over the floor; there was no way to keep water from flooding the bathroom. Also, people should know that the hotel is up three or four flights of steps.

WARNING! This was not a hotel, it was a sauna. This place doesn't have any air conditioning and when the city is 89 F (32C) degrees outside, like when I stayed there, it's like you're in a sauna sweating non-stop. They say they offer fans to help out - the fans in both my rooms were broken. One had no blades on the fan, one just blatantly didn't work. The building has small windows as well and no airflow so the rooms themselves are even hotter than the outside. Think you can sleep in a 96F (36C) degree room? Think you can sleep while your body is pouring out sweat and you're drenched? It's impossible. Other things that make this place a really bad choice - there's no plugs in the room! Like 1 in the bathroom and 1 in the main room, where the fan is plugged in (if it worked). My bathroom smelled horrible, and I think the smell of the sewers was coming up through the shower drain. I felt really bad for the poor girl working in the lobby (on the 4th floor) - she was absolutely drenched in sweat and red in the face. I had booked 2 rooms for 2 nights at this place and could not possibly stay a 2nd night. I left a day early even though I had already paid for the 2nd night. I'd advise everyone to look elsewhere.

Our stay

The hotel was located on the 3rd floor of a building and had no elevator. It wasn’t a big deal for us, but is important for people to know when carrying luggage up 3 flights of old, slightly uneven wooden stairs. The room was super plain. Seemingly, an ikea bed and table. No a/c, but they did have a fan. The shower head did not hold in place and so kept sliding down low. The hotel is in a good location for walking

Nice place but totally uncomfortable in the summer

Pros: great location. Affordable, small but nice room w en-suite great recommendations on restaurants and activities. Shower had great pressure and was nice Cons: this is partially my fault and Mother Nature as it was 90+ degrees F and I figured it wouldn’t be an issue in a 200 year old building. I’d love to stay there again in any season but summer as there’s no air. You are provided with an 8 inch fan. I had a dilemma as my room faced the river(a great view was another pro) but if I closed the windows it would be unbearable and if I left them open-which I had to-I’d be swarmed with bugs-which I was. I ended up putting the fan next to me and slept on top of the covers with the bugs. They landed on me all night as there’s a lamp light directly to the right of my window when you look out. The sheets weren’t changed in 4 days I was there but I didn’t go to the front desk to complain as I was on tours each day and it didn’t open until 10 and was closed by the time I got back. It was one of the most uncomfortable stays I’ve had in Europe yet I want to make clear that I’d stay there in cooler weather. Maybe the listing should make it clear that due to no air it’s a hard stay so be prepared.
Great view
Solid bed
Tons of bugs caught in spider webs as I had to keep windows open at night or it was unbearably hot .

The hotel was in a very convenient location. We loved the Riverside view from our room. The room is both large enough and had a cozy feeling. Our staff was very responsive to all questions, and gave some great recommendations for things to see and places to eat. When we inquired about a ride to the airport the next morning, they gave us a wonderful resource that served our needs very well. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique experience in a very historical building.

Basic property with no frills attached but I would stay there again. The location was perfect, in the old town, and it was very clean and quiet. There is street parking and garage parking. The street parking we had to pay the meter for but it was easy to do with the downloaded parking ap. On Sundays parking is free. You can park anywhere there are solid white lines on the road (yellow lines are for the residents) and we always found a spot close to the hotel. The front desk is helpful. They are not there 24/7. The hotel is up three flights of stairs but the receptionist offered and carried my bag up. This was a great stay and I would stay there again.

Just in front of the river, near the main attractions of the city. The room had a good space and was very clean. Point of attention: there isn’t a lift and we had to carry out luggage to the 3rd floor. When leaving the hotel, my son fall from the stairs and got his arm injured (there was a painting service on the 2nd floor and they removed the handrails and covered the steps with a sleepery material)

Perfekte Lage! Es war sehr heiß in Ljubljana und wir buchen eigentlich nur Unterkünfte mit Klimaanlage. Scheinbar haben wir beim Buchen nicht genau nachgesehen, aber dort ist keine Klimaanlage. Die wird auch nicht behauptet, daher können wir uns schwerlich darüber beklagen. Aber es war so heiß, dass an Schlaf nicht zu denken war.

Fint hotell om man har lavt budsjett

Fint hotell om du er på lavbudsjett! Stort og rent rom, med alt du trenger. Hotellet har ikke air-condition, så det blir veldig varmt - selv med vifte. Hotellet ligger i 3. etasje uten heis - greit å vite om man er dårlig til beins eller har tung koffert.

The location was great. That was the best part of the stay. Easily walkable to many attractions. The room had no hooks or pegs anywhere, so it was not convenient to hang clothes or towels. No extra pillows or blankets were available; just 1 skimpy 1/2 duvet and a flatish pillow for each.

There was a big problem with the shower which doesn’t drain properly threatening to overflowand is also very slippery I fell and lightly sprained my wrist. If I had broken something, this would’ve been a huge problem as there is no safety cord and the reception is staffed only during work hours. When I mentioned this to the receptionist she was polite but didn’t seem to be in any hurry to summon a plumber. They do not have rubber bath mats, so I requested an extra cotton mat which I stuck in the shower. This became very filthy and filled with soap after two nights. This is a less than ideal situation. In addition, there is no air-conditioning which is surprising as even cheap hotels have AC nowadays. The temperature in late May reach 28°C. This hotel was certainly overpriced for the amenities. I would definitely stay somewhere else next time.
