Ljubljana Capsule Hostel

Summary: Pros - • in essence, the idea of staying in a capsule was very cool. The capsule was modern, had a Tv, the bed was very comfy, and it was well ventilated. • the capsule + bathroom area was immaculately clean when me and my partner visited - we saw the cleaners every morning. • Very good location, only about a 15 min walk from the main area, and only 5 mins from the train / bus station which was very convenient. • Check-in was fairly easy and the lockers were very good. I felt my stuff was safe in them Cons - • me and my partner are from the UK and therefore we need an adaptor to charge our phones. There was only one socket hole, there were two usb ports but they were too close to the socket hole, which meant we couldn’t plug in the socket hole and use the usb ports at the same time. • The capsules were very loud, other people moving about could be heard quite easily. But I think it partly comes the people you are in a room with. Some were quiet and respectful, others didn’t care. • There isn’t a kitchen, we knew this already but we still think it would’ve made the experience a little better (and cheaper!) Overall, it was a really nice experience, but we felt the cost of the capsule was too much for what we got.

I honestly didn’t mind it but my girlfriend hated it so much. Shared toilets were pretty foul after a while. All the beds have code pads which beep loudly during the night like alarm clocks constantly going off. Beep beep beep. It’s still in my head all the beeping. If someone under you gets up / arrives / leaves, you will wake up with the codes beep beep beep beep and the slamming m of the sliding doors. Anyway yeah I enjoyed it it was pretty novel as an idea but it was very very expensive for what was ultimately a morgue. There was also no communal area, no receptionist and nowhere to store our bags if you arrive early etc. no kitchen so unfortunately all our food went off. Also girlfriend wants to point out that there were no blankets and that it is horrifically expensive for what it is and not in city centre. Dirty she says too bathroom with curly black hairs everywhere. If you stay here, really get your code right as it will disturb everyone in the night when you get it wrong because it goes BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP (the code) and then BEEP BEEP if you get it strong. And then you have to repeat the code so even more beeping. The cleaning lady was LOVELY.
