5 Best Hotels in Ljubljana, Slovenia

Background Illustration for Hotels

Hotel rates in Ljubljana continue to creep towards Western European numbers with each passing year. The standards here are usually high, but rooms, even in older historic hotels, tend to be modern and somewhat devoid of charm. In summer, you can get good deals through private accommodations or university dorms. Ask about these options at the tourist information kiosk in the town center.

Hostel Celica

$ | Metelkova 8, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Celica, which translates to "a cell," is just that: a reconstructed prison that has become one of the most fascinating hostels in the region. Situated across from the train station and a five-minute walk from the Old Town, Celica is a convenient budget-friendly option. The hostel is located in the vibrant area of Metelkova, an artsy hangout and center for nightlife. The management is young and politically active; ask them about the youth projects they are running.

Pros

  • Energetic and involved staff
  • Fascinating venue setup
  • Fun and convenient location

Cons

  • Small bag lockers
  • Inconsistent opening times for café
  • Very basic breakfast

Intercontinental Ljubljana

$$ | Slovenska Cesta 59, 1000, Slovenia

The arrival of this glass behemoth in the heart of Ljubljana brought mixed emotions from locals, but the class and professionalism offered at the Intercontinental still continue to attract attention and admiration from travelers. A five-star option in the center of town, you can't miss this place. All the usual quality expected of an Intercontinental hotel has a Slovenian tinge here.

Pros

  • City center location
  • Five-star luxury
  • Gorgeous views from rooms

Cons

  • Close to main road
  • Modern building feels out of place
  • Not that much of a local feel

Vander Urbani

$$ | Krojaška 6–8, Ljubljana, 1000, Slovenia

Arguably the most central hotel in Ljubljana, Vander Urbani was born of architectural creativity; several 18th-century town houses in the old city form this trendy hotel right beneath the Ljubljana castle. The result is a refreshingly unconventional boutique hotel with plenty of design surprises at every step and an overarching feeling of staying at a multimillionaire's private house. The staff is tremendously friendly, and the hotel is kept spotless. The swimming pool overlooking the city helps justify the price, as do the very imaginatively designed bathrooms.

Pros

  • Stylish design
  • Ideal location
  • Beautiful pool with a fantastic view

Cons

  • Some flats feel cramped, though they've done their best to utilize space
  • Hotel might feel like a nightclub to some
  • Breakfast area gets a little too crowded
