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
4 to weigh- Only shared bathrooms — All listed room types have a shared bathroom, which means you'll be sharing facilities with other guests on your floor.
- 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.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this hostel isn't an option — the policy is no pets.
- No private bathrooms — Even solo and twin rooms come with shared bathroom access, so there's no en-suite option in the property.
