About

Over the bustling terrace of Sax Pub, behind the graffiti-clad facade, are immaculately renovated dorm rooms, named after blues and jazz greats.
Ideally located along the Ljubljanica river running through the city's lively and cosy old centre, where music lovers of all ages and walks of life have gathered for more than 30 years.

It takes about 5 minutes to reach the scenic sites of Ljubljana's old city centre.

To mix with Ljubljana's hip crowd, you need only to descend the stairs and take in the music of the pub, which could be sometimes live as well.

All rooms are equipped with power outlets, reading lights, and free wi-fi. Every guest is provided with a personal locker for luggage and valuables. Bed linen and towels are included.

It’s in a good location and the pub attached is decent, but I don’t know if I just got unlucky but the bunk beds were extremely squeaky so any movement was heard in the night, and the showers either had no head or the water didn’t drain very well. Not the most social place in the world either.

Skip it! There was no staff- nobody to talk to if you need anything, no common area besides the kitchen- which was a disaster and nobody socialized there, we got put in the wrong room and there was garbage on my bed and the heat came on all day without a way to turn it off. They leave a number to text but they don’t reply. Location was good but we only lasted one night.

This was definitely an interesting hostel, but it wasn't horrible. The staff are the people who work at the pub below, so the check-in process isn't the best. Good location right near the river, and it is easy to walk everywhere in the city. Even with the bedroom door not closing, it still felt safe somehow. The toilets were almost always out of toilet paper and paper towels. The kitchen wasn't the cleanest, but I had everything I needed to make food.
