I was pleasantly surprised as to how good this hostel is. The whole hostel is built on Jazz theme and since it is just a year old it is very clean and fresh. I found staff to be very helpful and warm and with a hip pub downstairs, you don't have to go far to get a drink. Book this... More

I stayed as part of a group of friends in the Sax Hostel last month. We were travelling around the region, staying in hostels, and I have to say the thing that stood out was the comfort of the beds! Nice, fresh linen and plenty of space. Our whole group received a warm welcome from the owners, who are also... More

HOWEVER, we have booked a stay for two nights in a double bed room. On our arrival we have been told, that... More

The pub downstairs is closed when I was there, because the people were on vacation. No common room. No kitchen. Given the size of Ljubljana, really far away from the train station. Not many customers in the winter. Only 2 person in an 8 person dorm. Facilities are clean. Friendly staff.

We stayed at the Sax hostel with friends in December. The rooms were really nice and the staff were very friendly. There was no communal or kitchen areas- which was no problem for us as we were out most of the time. The rooms and bathroom were clean and the beds comfortable. The location was also really easy, very close... More

If you just want a bed and a shower then this is for you. No kitchen, no communal areas. Positive = clean, helpful & friendly and 1 x computer downstairs, walking distance to main town area. Negative = no opportunity to mingle, sink is too small to wash face / for hand wash only, sometimes queue for toilet and shower... More

Its a pretty city and so a nice walk along the canal to it. The only thing I missed there was a kitchen but the centre is close with... More

I stumbled on this hostel accidentally but I'm really happy I chose it! Not only the jazz theme is magnificent but also it has a nice pub at the ground floor which is also very cute. The place was really clean and cozy. The highlight though is the staff which are amazingly helpful. It would be impossible to describe how... More

Amazing staff, ready to help you as much as they possibly can, with great tips! The hostel has it's own soul and livelihood, sparking clean and good facilities and location. An amazing terrace for spring/summer, good music at the bar, live every Thursday night... This place is just amazing....
