About

Hostel Dic - Ljubljana

Hostel Dic sits on Poljanska Cesta, about a five-minute walk from the Ljubljanica River Barrier and close to the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia. The 100-room property keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi in rooms, a shared kitchen, a garden, and a leisure/TV room with board games and table tennis.

A 24-hour reception and free parking make it easy to arrive and leave on your own schedule. The hostel's rooms are basic but well configured, with shared bathrooms and parquet floors. It is a no-frills option that leans on location and practical amenities rather than design flourishes.

Worth weighing

  • Check-in window ends at 22:00 — While the reception is open 24 hours, check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, so plan to arrive within that window.

“As someone who's stayed in hundreds of hostels, the breakfast at Hostel Dic was the best I've had — a wide spread of sweet and savoury, from eggs and bacon to cereal and bread, all you can eat and delicious. Staff were pleasant, helpful, and efficient; when some guests left the bathroom messy, cleaners came quickly to sort it. Highly recommend.”
