Hostels, or backpackers as they are also known, are a very popular form of cheap accommodation in Slovenia. They are ideal for groups, youths and single travelers as they are designed to help you meet and interact with other travelers.

Slovenia hostels are almost always in great locations – in cities they are generally very well located close to public transport lines and tourist attractions and in coastal areas they are usually within walking distance to a beach and with great views. They provide budget-oriented accommodation where guests can rent a bed in a dormitory and share a bathroom, lounge and often also a kitchen. Private rooms are usually available too. The staff in hostels is almost always very friendly and helpful. More often than not the staff are either other travelers or a local who enjoys the interaction with the traveling community. They are usually a fantastic source of information for things to do and see in the area, especially when it comes to budget travel.

Competition between Slovenia hostels has grown over the past 10 years so the quality has risen considerably and there are now some really great hostels in Slovenia. Find out which are the ones that we recommend and why!

Hostels in Slovenia that we recommend
HOSTEL TRESOR Ljubljana, Slovenia Hostel Tresor is one of the most famous and popular hostels in Slovenia's capital Ljubljana. It is located in the perfect location in the heart of the city, within a short walk's distance to the Dragon Bridge, Triple Bridge, Preseren Square, Castle Funicular to name a few landmarks. The main bus and train station are only a 10 minute walk up the main street. It's very easy to find and easy to come back to if you need to during the day. The hostel is very well managed and has a lot of character - the building was once a bank. The hostel decor is charming with different quotes on the walls and various allusions to its previous life as a bank. There are several dorm rooms with 4-10 beds and also a few private rooms. The dorm rooms are light, spacious and clean, although the plug sockets away from the beds aren't very practical. The beds and pillows are quite comfortable. The rooms on the 3rd and 4th floor have fantastic views of the Ljubljana Castle! If you are a light sleeper, try to avoid the room that looks onto the common room. The shared bathrooms and separate WCs are kept very clean. The showers are great and really powerful and there are plenty of showers on each floor meaning you never have to wait. The towels that are available to borrow are small - not great in a shared bathroom. The hostel also provides several common areas and there's a great atmosphere when it comes to meeting people. There's no proper kitchen, which is a shame given the size of the hostel. The included breakfast is basic but adequate for the rate. The staff are friendly and approachable, always smiling and quick to help - to provide tourist information and to direct to interesting places, to recommend activities and more. The free WiFi is a little slow but reliable. There are also laundry facilities available. The hostel is in a pedestrian area, so, if you arrive by car, we recommend that you park at the train station car park, which is €8 overnight. All in all, this is a really interesting hostel. Aside from the superb location, friendliness of the staff, and cleanliness of the property, the views from the top floors are hard to beat for a budget accommodation. Just keep in mind that this isn't the best place for a good night's sleep.

KVA HOSTEL Ljubljana, Slovenia Kva Hostel is a very new, centrally located hostel in Ljubljana that opened its doors in August 2017.

The dorm rooms are spacious, bright and well equipped with big lockers, large openable windows and good heating. The bunk beds are sturdy and each has own power outlet and reading lamp. Top bunks would benefit from a shelf to place phones, water bottles, etc. on at night. The private rooms are very good size too and the beds are very comfortable, mattress is just the right amount of firmness. Some rooms have great views of the city or the river. The bathrooms are spotlessly clean and the hot showers work well. The combined kitchen and common area is great for socialising, It's a huge space with beautiful wooden flooring, quirky antique furniture mixed with contemporary design touches and a good view over the Ljubljanica river. The included breakfast is surprisingly good for a hostel of this kind and includes fresh bread, fruits, jams, cereals, muesli, yoghurts, teas, coffee and milk. The free WiFi works well in any part of the hostel. There's no parking available at the hostel but chargeable parking is located nearby. In summary, this hostel is awesome and a really pleasant way to discover all that Slovenia's capital Ljubljana has to offer.

It's in a great location being only a 2 minute walk from the main bus station in Bled (underneath the castle) and it's about a 5 minute walk from the lake. It's in the older part of Bled, away from big hotels and the main restaurant strip which is 10 minutes on foot. A supermarket is a 2 minute walk away so super easy to pop out and pick up extras. There is also a great cafe and cake shop just across the road. The hostel itself isn't very big, but it's comfortable and the facilities feel newish overall. There are several dorm rooms with 6-12 beds and also a few private rooms. The dorm rooms are of average size but the beds are comfortable and sheets clean.

There's a nice common area with sofa, tables, computers and TV, free internet and PlayStation. The common area itself is quite small, but it's got everything you need and makes for a friendly place. It shuts at 22:00 each night, so this is not a party hostel, but a very cosy relaxing place to spend a a few nights. There's a well equipped modern kitchen with good fridge space and arrangements for identifying left overs. They also have a fantastic huge balcony with loads of seats and great views. The whole place is very clean and tidy with a 'shoes left in the hallway' policy and has a fresh feel. The guys who own it are very friendly and helpful, giving you a tour of the hostel when you arrive and have extensive knowledge about the Bled area and are always available to help you with any decision making on what to do, where to go and how to get there - and all with fun and a smile. They know their town inside out. As the hostel is not very big, it's easy to meet other travelers. The only downsides to the hostel are the weak WiFi signal in some rooms and lack of air conditioning. All in all, a great budget-oriented place to stay in Bled. It's a hostel, but if you're used to that and the usual hostel set up then it's perfect - comfortable cheap, cosy, clean!

The location is great and tranquil and it's just a short 3-5 minute walk to the lake and many nice restaurants and bars, also very close to a supermarket (3 minutes on foot).

It makes showering and dressing much easier and pleasant. The communal kitchen and lounge area is very well furnished but still remains to have a rustic feel. Kitchen is well equipped which makes cooking and preparing food easy. Again, all the areas are very tidy and clean. The kitchen also has a lot of free food/ingredients for use.

HOSTEL IDRIJA Idrija, Slovenia Hostel Idrija is a nice budget accommodation located only 5 minutes walk from the town centre. The location is great and the view is awesome from the hostel, but be aware there are many steps to climb if you are travelling without a car. The hostel is housed in the renovated building of a former school. It is not modern but it's clean and relatively comfortable. It has many sinks and bathrooms due to being a school in the past. Also, many showers are available. The kitchen is small, but adequate if you don't plan to cook any large meals. The best thing about this hostel is the staff. They are very friendly and welcoming and have some great knowledge on the local area. The free wifi works well in most rooms. The free public parking is available too. All in all, a decent budget hostel for the not so demanding traveler.

Places to stay in Slovenia that we recommend (by type)
The accommodation options in Slovenia can be divided into six main types: hotels, guest houses, B&Bs, self catering apartments, hostels and farm stays.
HOTELS IN SLOVENIA THAT WE RECOMMEND Finding a hotel that suits your needs and fits your budget can be a hassle. Slovenia is a small country but it has more than 250 hotels ranging from super luxurious to boutique style hotels to a nice choice of affordable 3-star hotels.

GUEST HOUSES IN SLOVENIA THAT WE RECOMMEND Slovenia guest houses are definitely a nice, safe option for a place to stay as they are comfortable and homely with owners who take an interest in their guests. Many guesthouses have a good on-site restaurant and offer not only delicious breakfasts, but also a wide range of meals for lunch and dinner. There are more than 400 guest houses all across the country, so read on and find out which one would best suit your needs, style and budget.
BED AND BREAKFASTS IN SLOVENIA THAT WE RECOMMEND Slovenia bed and breakfasts are family-run places that range from small homes renting out two or three spare bedrooms to large guest houses with more than a dozen rooms. In essence you get a room and usually also a private bathroom in someone's house, with breakfast included in the price. Find out which B&Bs in Slovenia we recommend and why.
APARTMENTS IN SLOVENIA THAT WE RECOMMEND Many local residents in Slovenia offer apartments for rent in their houses. Each apartment has one or two bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen. Some also have a living room and a balcony or a terrace. It's a very popular budget-friendly option when you are staying in Slovenia, but choose carefully, the price and quality vary considerably. Here you will find apartments that we think are the best ones in the country right now.
HOSTELS IN SLOVENIA THAT WE RECOMMEND Hostels are a very popular option for those seeking wallet-friendly accommodations in Slovenia. Most spaces and amenities are usually shared, but even if you’re not up for the cheapest option - a bed in a dorm room - you can often get a basic private room at a hostel for significantly less than the cost of a low-end hotel or privately rented room. Competition between hostels has grown over the past 10 years so the quality has risen considerably and there are now some really great hostels in Slovenia. Find out which are the ones that we recommend and why!
CAMPING AND GLAMPING SITES IN SLOVENIA THAT WE RECOMMEND The beautiful nature in Slovenia is a perfect setting for camping or glamping. Around the country, sites offer great accommodation with all the modern amenities a guest needs to be comfortable. Next time you visit Slovenia, instead of a hotel or guesthouse, stay at one of the wonderful camping and glamping sites.
FARM STAYS IN SLOVENIA THAT WE RECOMMEND Farm stays are an increasingly popular vacation option, especially for families with young children. Styled after traditional B&Bs, farm stays offer comfortable lodging, low rates, generous breakfasts and direct access to farm animals, fresh fruit, vegetables and eggs. On some farms you can also join in with farm tasks, including feeding and egg collecting. Find out which farm stays in Slovenia we recommend the most.
