Ljubljana Capsule Hostel

I would love to leave a proper review for this place but given that it was closed when I arrived and nobody bothered to inform me I can't. On arrival I was met by workmen who advised that the hotel was 'closed for refurbishment' and that I should have been told in advance. I wasn't. I managed to book somewhere else and on contacting the owner to request a refund he/she then offered me an alternative despite me already advising that I had booked elsewhere on being told by the workmen that the Capsule Hotel was closed. There has been no sign of my refund. This may well be a decent place when open, I'll never know. Based on a lack of proper communication and my own experience this isn't somewhere I would be recommending.

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.

Volevamo provare un’esperienza nuova. Le capsule sono confortevoli e pulite, l’ambiente informale e di condivisione è divertente. Purtroppo alle 2 sono rientrati dei ragazzi francesi che hanno fatto un sacco di rumore. Beep beep delle tastiere, urla, risate e colpi sulle capsule. Isolatele meglio!
