Summary of traveller reviews

Proteus in Postojna offers a great location, close to caves and amenities. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, and the cleanliness of the facilities. Some recent reviews mention noise and a lack of social atmosphere, making it better suited for shorter stays or those seeking a quieter experience.

Overall nice hostel. Stayed for one night in a two-bed room. Groceries, caves and train / bus station all in walking distance. We could feel that the hostel was well thought out not only as a place to sleep but also spend time with groups of people. Everything was clean enough, some small aspects hinted an early stage of disrepair (e.g. one chair in the room was unusable). Breakfast was nothing to write home about, doors not really sound-proof.

Very nice hostel. The staff was very welcoming and helpful, it is immaculate, the breakfast was a good value. As others have noted, there is some noise from the students during the day, but it is not obnoxious and is quiet at night. Would definitely stay here again.
