Hostel DIC — Hotel in Upravna Enota Ljubljana

This hostel is quite expensive for what you get. We booked a room for two persons but got a room for three with a bunk bed. The tables were clearly not cleaned before our arrival, there was dust and dirt on it. However the bathrooms were clean, but outdated. Kitchen was okay, not a lot of supplies but enough. Breakfast was okay. The bread was tough and the choice was limited. ||The hostel is very big. There were large groups of scholars visiting. Unfortunately that caused a lot of noise because all the rooms were directly accessible from just one hallway. All of these corridors of all the floors were connected to each other without any (isolating) doors in between. There were signs that mentioned to be quiet after 22:30 but unfortunately the staff didn't maintain that. Also there was a window in the door of our room, so everytime people in the corridor turned the light on, it shone in our room which was quite annoying. But especially the noise was our biggest drawback. ||Don't forget that when you book this hostel you have to pay tourist tax at your arrival. Tax rate in Ljubjana is quite high: 2,50 per person per night. They do not state that clearly on the website (with most hostels it is included in booking costs!) so we were kinda surprised to pay €10 extra at the reception, especially since the rooms already are overpriced for what you get (we payed over €90 for 2 nights).||If you like to live in a student housing for a few days, dont really care about comfort and noise and don't want to worry about breakfast, this is the place you should go. However for the price there are way better options out there. The reason why I am giving 2 start after all is because of the location and...

Be sure to double check how much they charge you when you check in. We paid for 4 nights and this was confirmed at check in. We did not receive a receipt, but assumed everything was okay. 4 days later on the day we planned to checkout we asked to extend our stay. They told us we only paid for two nights and that we now had to pay for the other two that we had already stayed for. We had spoken to reception a few times prior to this about extending and no one mentioned this to us and told us everything was okay. At this point they told us not only do we have to pay for the two other day, but that since it was after 10am thst we were informed of this we had to now pay for that day as well. When i told them i wouldn’t pay for it they threatened to call the police on me. I saw the police show up a few days prior to this with another hostel guest so i believe this is a common scam at this location. If i had known i had only paid for 2 days i would have left after 2 days. They tricked us into thinking everything was okay and then forced us to pay for another day because, as i said, they waited until after 10am to tell us. This place literally robbed me and threatened me with the police. I spoke to a manager and he called me a liar and told me everything is my fault. I told him i didn’t receive a receipt and he called me a liar. I told him to check the cameras so he could see that I didn’t receive one and just said “no.” avoid at all costs, otherwise ensure you are being charged correctly at check in or you’ll end up getting...

My girlfriend and I booked what was listed as a twin room at a price of roughly £46 a night. When we arrived we paid the due fee and then found the room was actually a triple room with bunk beds in a student dorm and when we asked the staff they said they did not have any other rooms in the building, all their twin rooms are as we witnessed.||The first room we were allocated had an infestation of ants and other insects while the second room had dead bugs on the walls which hadn’t been cleaned properly from previous guests.||The lack of any ventilation meant the window had to be open at all times, causing more insects to enter the room.||The locks on the doors seemed like they were not very sturdy and a gentle breeze could break them. The electrical outlets in the rooms would not be passed as safe in other places as they were quite literally hanging off the walls.||The windows above the room doors are blocked out with used cereal boxes and the kitchens we saw were filthy. The shower facilities were not that bad but realistically were not well thought out as they were unisex and the showers were in the toilets meaning you could not shower if someone was using the loo.||The staff were helpful although we were forced to pay for a room for the night before being able to get a refund of the fees for the rest...
