Dear Mr Alexander, thank you for your kind words about the experience you had with us! We aim to provide a convenient and relaxing stay and it is wonderful that your expectations were met. Our location is something that everyone finds wonderful and I am happy to see you agree! Being close to downtown gives our guests many options for shopping, dining and just sight seeing. Should you return back to the Maribor, we certainly hope to see you again!

This was a basic option for accommodation in Maribor. The outside and inside are much more run down than the pictures show, however there is a shared entrance with Hotel Orel which is much newer and nicer. The hostel rooms are through the hotel and across into another building which was much more run down. The room did not have air conditioning (I missed that on the room info) so it was very hot and humid at night. Our room was also on the main pedestrian shopping street, great for location, terrible for noise! You can hear everyone talking as if they are in the room, and street cleaners at night...we hardly got any sleep. We had to keep the window open otherwise it would have been stifling. Bathroom was tiny, barely enough room for 1 person, but functional. This hostel has a great location but that is mainly what you are paying for. Parking is offered onsite for 11 euro, we stayed on a Sunday so took advantage of free street parking.

Hostel and hotel are located in the same building in the very center of the town. Parking is available on site, just know - it’s €11 and they have to let you into the pedestrian zone. So rather than putting hotel address into your GPS, contact the hotel and they give you an exact point from which you can get in. It was a very hot day so our room was quite warm but we booked this place knowing there is no AC. Everything was super clean and appeared new, I think they remodeled the whole place. Definitely recommend.

Dear Ms Lenka, w we often receive very positive feedback on the quality of our beds, which are very new. Hostel was renovated in 2018. I am very glad to read that you enjoyed our central location and made a very good use of it! We are very fortunate to be such in a prime position and it brings us joy to share it with our guests! We are working hard to improve the property both inside and out and welcome all comments as that is how we grow and improve daily. Air Co are high on our list of improvements and are a work in progress. Have a great day and be safe.

A university hostel with comfortable single rooms with private bathrooms in the center of Maribor for a more than reasonable price. A very kind and friendly staff fluently speaking English: they accomodate me in my room at 8 a.m.!!!

Hostel/hotel combo right on Maribor's main square
In terms of private rooms at least, the UNI could not be better. It shares professional reception desk and staff with the adjoining Hotel Orel, in a passage off the main square. The single room in the hostel was spacious and affordable, its bathroom swish and modern, its in-room WiFi strong and the bed comfortable. In fact, I cannot think of a better example of a decent single room at this price, this close to the main square in any European city.

Dear Ms Maria, thank you for booking our Hostel Uni for your stay in Maribor and review. It sounds like you had a generally positive experience with your room, especially considering the value for money. It's great to hear that the room itself met your expectations.Regarding the access with stairs, while it might have been a bit inconvenient, it's not uncommon for rooms in unique or historic buildings to have some quirks like stairs. However, it's good to know that the excellent location made up for it. Being conveniently located can significantly enhance the overall experience, making it easier to explore the surrounding area and enjoy nearby attractions.Thank you again for your review and all the best.

Dear Valued Guest,thank you for booking our Hostel Uni for your stay in Maribor. It sounds like you had a unique and charming experience in your reassignment to the top floor of the attic! The cozy atmosphere, aided by the helpful ceiling fan and charming ceiling windows, must have made for a comfortable stay.Additionally, it's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the breakfast buffet. The presence of homemade items like raspberry smoothies and green kale juice adds a delightful touch to the dining experience. A perfect buffet can indeed enhance the overall enjoyment of your stay.Thank you for your review and all the best.

Dear Mr Roman, thank you for booking our Hostel Uni for your stay in Maribor and review. You stayed in a budget accommodation in the center of the old town, which offered several positive aspects like a perfect location, quiet ambiance, spacious room for four people, an anteroom with lockers, private bathroom, and daily housekeeping services including made beds and fine duvets.However, it's unfortunate that there were some drawbacks such as the absence of reading lights, limited socket availability (only on one side of the room, particularly inconvenient for bunk beds), and an unexpected registration fee of 1. These aspects, especially the lack of reading lights, can affect the overall comfort and convenience of your stay.It's always helpful to provide feedback to the accommodation management about these issues, as it can contribute to improving the experience for future guests. The management is aware of the missing reading lights and limited electric sockets, and that they are working on these issues. To be for your use already on your next visit.Thank you again for your review and all the best.

Nicht die beste Wahl für einen längeren Aufenthalt
Zunächst das Positive: die Lage ist super, mitten im Zentrum. Das Personal war freundlich. Check-in und Check-out gingen schnell und unkompliziert. Nun die negativen Punkte: Leider sah mein Zimmer nicht annähernd so aus wie auf den Bildern bei Hotels.com. Das Zimmer war erheblich kleiner. Die Möbel stark abgenutzt und in die Jahre gekommen. Das Badezimmer ist so klein geschnitten, dass man die Badezimmertür nur halb öffnen kann. Die Toilette ist in eine Ecke gequetscht mit vielleicht maximal 20 Zentimetern Abstand zur gegenüberliegenden Wand. Wer größer als 1,75 m ist könnte hier schon Probleme bekommen. Etwas ungewöhnlich war auch, dass man nur ein Duschtuch bekommt. Ich kenne es zumindest so, dass man wenigstens noch ein Handtuch bekommt(eben für Hände und Gesicht). Seife gab es auch nicht. Nur ein Spender mit einer Art Universal Mittel für Haare und Körper zum Duschen montiert an der Wand, der offenbar auch noch mit Wasser verdünnt war und fast nix mehr rauskam. Zum Glück habe ich in solchen Fällen meine eigenen Sachen mit... Allgemein ist der Zugang zu den Zimmern des UNI Youth Hostel etwas umständlich. Man läuft sozusagen durch ein anderes Hotel durch bis man zu den Zimmern kommt. Je nachdem wo das Zimmer liegt, muss man einige Flure durchqueren. Fazit: wenn man nur ein bis zwei Nächte in Maribor ist und in kurzer Zeit viel von der Stadt sehen möchte, ist die Unterkunft in Ordnung. Einen längeren Aufenthalt würde ich hier nicht nochmal verbringen.
