Grad Kamen

I wasn't sure what to expect going to Ljubljana, but wanted to stay a few days. I saw the capsul hostel and booked 3 nights. It was close to the train and bus station. Has a little store just next to the garage. When you arrive, you use the provided code to open the door. There are doors marked 0 to 3. Each door leads to the different numbered capsules so you just find the right door and once inside you have clearly marked capsules and lockers. All the capsule rooms are connected as the bathroom with showers are together. The same code opens your locker and capsule. Inside the capsule i had was a tv, headphones, three light switches, power outlet. The bed was made up and you have towels and a towel you can use to stand on exiting the shower. It was clean and i really appreciated the staff. I highly recommend a stay.

We stayed for five nights. Our arrival was miserable. We drove from Split. Our intention was to arrive by 8pm, but due to some delays, we arrived at 9:30pm. The reception had left at 9pm. The front door was locked. There was a note: call a local number to gain entry. Being from Canada, we tried to avoid costly cellular roaming fees and were travelling with data only (eSIM). So we couldn’t call the number. After trying to contact the property via Expedia (which failed), we finally enabled roaming (expensive), and were able to speak to the property and they talked us into locating keys in a lock box. The room we got was room 7…one of three attic rooms. We had to lug our suitcases way up to an attic level…the stairs were not lighted…and we finally, using the phone’s flashlight, were able to enter the room. This room was built between roof trusses and beams. To get into the beds required climbing over wooden beams while avoiding hitting one’s head on a slanted wall/ceiling. Accessing one bed required climbing under a steel rod while climbing over a wooden beam. Quite dangerous and not acceptable in terms of safety. We stayed in this room for the first night but insisted that we receive a better room. We moved into room 2, not an attic room, for the last four nights. Note…the photos of the attic room skillfully manage to conceal the hazards. The lower level room was much better. It was nice, but there weren’t enough places to stash belongings/towels, but it was clean & tidy
