I stayed there in the winter/spring of 2012. The hostel itself is very good, somehow a little bit far from the centre of the town, but Ljubljana is too incredibly tiny that this doesn't make any diference in the end. Good location to take the train to Postojna (near Tivoli station) too. Ah, very good staff: best I've ever seen ;)

EXCELLENT hostel, best I've ever stayed at. I was amazed at the cleanliness of the bathrooms (soap and paper towels included too!). I was pleased by the layout of the rooms - with the drawer underneath the bed to stow personal items. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the reading light was a nice touch. Breakfast was the best 'hostel' breakfast I've ever had. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly and I felt safe at all times. The staff was wonderful, going out of their way to help.

Vila Veselova was amazing! From the moment I got there, I was treated like a family member! Cable, Internet, breakfast, snacks, tours, trip info - it's all at your disposal. Plus the facilities/rooms are spacious, clean and modern. Zala and Katja were amazingly kind and I can't find the words to describe how comfortable and friendly they were. Will be back to Ljubljana and looking forward to visiting my friends at VV!

Nicest hostel I've stayed in! The furniture and building were really nice, lots of room in the bunk beds and spaces to store things. The staff were extremely helpful, trying to find alternative travel routes for my and my friends' tricky-to-get-to next destination, and updating boards of information with restaurant recommendations, upcoming events, and the weather forecast. Great breakfast too!

So lovely and nice, old house. A noisy road behind the hostel was a little bit annoying.

Dear Sari, thanks for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your staying here at Vila Veselova. We are aware about annoying road behind the house but unfortunately we can not do anything about it. Roads like this one are in all big citys, especially in capitals and if you close all windows in the room the road almost disappear. We hope it wasn't to much annoying.

Vila Veselova was probably the best hostel I've ever been and I've been to many. Location was good, staff was really nice, hostel was clean and beautiful and all the facilities were great.

This hostel is great. I loved the house, enjoyed the atmosphere and found the staff very kind and helpful. But I was a bit shocked when I was asked to send my credit card details to the hostel via email. I found this unprofessional and insecure.

Dear Verena, Thanks for your review. We are honored that you enjoyed your staying in Vila. About sending the Card Details: It is a standard procedure due to our cancellation policy and we do not need any other Card Details except your CCV code which you have to send us to a special E-mail address or phone number because of security reason, so i don't think this is unprofessional. We require CCV code from our guests only because of increasing number of no shows or cancellations in last minute in which case we are entitled to charge a fee equivalent of the cost of the guest's first nights stay. But due to legal restrictions we can not get it from reservation system. I hope I managed to explain the procedure and make it more understandable for you. Regards, Tina

The hostel is in a somewhat remote area, but is only a 5 minute walk away from the city centre. The hostel itself was also a bit too quiet (although Ljubljana itself was also very quiet when I stayed during January), but other than that the hostel was great. The room was clean, there were plenty of toilets/showers and the breakfast was nice.

It was a very nice hostel. Very near the center,in a walkable distance, and with a place to park the car. The decoration was very nice,breakfast was a nice time to work on social,i love it. The staff was very helfull,helped in the city tips and about the lakes like bled. The toilets could be larger for the amount of people in the hostel, but loved the hostel. I advice it!

One of those places that makes you wish you could stay another day! Wonderful staff, they really follow their own moto and attempt to truly make the hostel a home away from home! Well done, wish there were more places, people like this.

I really enjoyed my stay at Vila Veselova. The staff there were very welcoming and the hostel was very comfy. I liked their bunk beds. The bathrooms were also very clean. On the floor that I stayed (second floor) there were two computers with internet connection, which was very convenient. Breakfast was also nice too. I liked the way they paid attention to little details such as lighting candles and incense sticks along the stairways, which was very nice. Overall, it's more than worth it! :-)
