fantastic addition to Slovenia's hostel scene - private rooms and dorms are immaculately
presented, but each is a unique installation, decorated by local artists to tell a story from
Celje's hidden history. Who can resist the room of the Celje ninja (costume included), the
giant catfish or the cop who had to arrest himself? There are regular music and social
events, plus free bike hire.
