Alibi Hostel

Alibi Hostel is a hostel on Miklošičeva cesta in the centre of Ljubljana, Slovenia, near the railway station. Miklošičeva is one of the capital's most recognisable streets, lined with early twentieth-century Secession buildings, and the hostel's address puts the bus and railway stations within a few minutes' walk and Prešeren Square, the Triple Bridge and the Old Town about ten minutes away. The setting makes it a convenient base for backpackers arriving by train, bus or airport shuttle, and for day trips to Lake Bled, Postojna Cave or the coast. The hostel has a lively, sociable character, with a bar that works as a gathering point for guests in the evenings, in keeping with its youthful, party-friendly reputation. Accommodation includes Dormitory Beds and Private Rooms, with shared bathrooms in the dorms and bathroom arrangements for private rooms varying by room. Rates are typically €20 to €40 per dorm bed per night, which is among the lowest in the centre. Wi-Fi is provided, and the bar offers drinks and a place to meet other travellers. There is no full restaurant, but cafés, bakeries and inexpensive eateries are found throughout the surrounding streets. Staff can generally advise on activities, tours and nightlife. Because of the bar and the busy central street, noise can be an issue, and guests who want an early night should ask about quieter rooms or bring earplugs. The hostel suits backpackers, solo travellers and groups of friends looking for a social, low-cost stay in the middle of the city. Visitors seeking quiet or a private, hotel-style stay may prefer other properties. Ljubljana is a small, safe capital, and the area around the railway station is well served by buses and taxis. Slovenia's euro pricing makes dorm beds, bakery breakfasts and casual meals affordable for backpackers touring the region. Visitors benefit from Slovenia's reliable public transport links and the short distances between sights, which leave time for the castle, the central market and a riverside dinner. Rates vary with season, and booking directly with the property or comparing a few sources is advisable.
