Top hostels in Slovenia

You will find most hostels in urban areas, but there are also plenty of them in the countryside, too. Check out some of the best hostels to stay in.

Save money but still enjoy comfort

Hostels used to be considered low-cost accommodation for travellers. Today hostels have a completely different reputation that is comparable to that of hotels of the same category. A more affordable price does not mean that you have to give up comfort. Some hostels, including in Slovenia, exceed expectations and, with their stories and design, appeal to more demanding travellers. Hostels welcome every generation under their roof – from young people and families to the elderly. They are the right choice for anyone who likes to socialise and meet new people. Below are some of the best Slovenian hostels worth staying in.
