    The location of the hostel is fantastic, with attractions such as Postojna Cave and Sovic Hill just a short walk away. the hostel also has a 24/7 reception desk, making it convenient who may need assistance at odd hours. the rooms are clean and cozy, with strong WiFi throughout the hostel.

    The shared kitchen in the hostel is quite small and the utensils are outdated, with even a pan missing a handle.

    I had an amazing stay at this hostel in Slovenia! The building was fine and modern, with plenty of cool spaces to relax in. The quality of the accommodation was really good for such an affordable price. I even found free clothes, like a charity shop! The hostel had a library, PCs, and a massive dining area. My 3-bed dorm was spacious and had lovely wooden furniture. Plus, I got it all to myself because the building is so big. The location was perfect, surrounded by beautiful scenery and right in the center of town. It was only a 20-minute walk to the caves.

    The breakfast option could be improved with a wider selection.

    The triple room we had was beautifully designed and surprisingly affordable. the kitchen was clean and well-stocked, making it easy to prepare meals. the laundry facilities on our floor were convenient, and having free parking was a big plus. the receptionist went above and beyond, helping us with our heavy luggage when we arrived late at night. the location, amenities, and helpful staff made for a great experience. Cons: Nothing! It was perfect! 😊.

    I had a fantastic value for my money at Youth Hostel Proteus. The room was comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect, just a short walk from Postojna Cave and a short drive from Predjama Castle. The staff treated me kindly and were always willing to help.

    One thing that could make the breakfast offerings better is to have more variety in the food options.

    The location of this hostel is ideal for exploring the nearby attractions. It is conveniently situated only a short distance from the famous Postojna Cave and Castle, making it a perfect base for sightseeing. You can easily reach these landmarks within a 20, minute walk from the hostel.

    Although the hostel provides comfortable accommodation and a convenient location, there have been occasional instances of loud music playing. it is important to note that the noise levels are generally quiet after 10 PM, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep.

    The location of the hostel was fantastic, with easy access to public transportation and close proximity to supermarkets and attractions. It was just a short walk to the famous cave and other key sights in the city. the hostel had a vibrant and colorful decor, which added a fun atmosphere to the stay. The facilities were well-maintained and clean, with a comfortable lounge area and a well-equipped kitchen. The staff was generally friendly and helpful, and the 24/7 reception desk was convenient for any late-night needs.

    The lack of a tour desk with knowledgeable staff. I had some difficulty getting information about transportation to a nearby castle and ended up seeking assistance elsewhere.

    I had a wonderful stay at the Youth Hostel Proteus. The staff were helpful, giving me useful advice about restaurants and public transport to the Škocjan Caves. The freshly renovated room was quiet and the WiFi strength was good. The hostel is also conveniently located close to the coach station. I highly recommend this hostel for its value and helpful staff.

    I recently stayed at Youth Hostel Proteus in Postojna for a night after visiting the nearby caves. The concept hostel had a relaxed and student residence-like atmosphere, with comfortable rooms featuring only three beds. The lounge areas and outdoor green space were great for unwinding. The hostel's location was convenient, with restaurants, supermarkets, and the caves entrance within walking distance. The amenities were impressive, including free-to-use computers, separated bathrooms, and ample storage space. The staff were friendly, and the overall experience was very enjoyable.

    Couldn't recommend this hostel more.

    I recently stayed at a youth hostel in Postojna and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The newly renovated interior was impressive and it was evident that the hostel was well taken care of. The cleanliness was top-notch, making for a comfortable and pleasant stay. The possibility of having a decent breakfast for a small additional charge was a pleasant surprise. The staff were friendly and helpful, making sure that all our needs were met. I also appreciated the fact that we could store our bicycles securely inside for the night. I had a very positive experience and I would highly recommend this hostel for anyone looking for a clean, modern, and comfortable stay.
