My 1st choice, Hotel Emonec, was fully booked for our 1st night in Ljubljana so I decided to splurge and spend a night at the Grand Hotel Union Business. There are two hotels next door to each other, the Grand Hotel Union Business where we stayed at and the Grand Hotel Union Executive which is next door in an lovely art nouveau building. There's also a Grand Hotel Garni so make sure you know which one you are staying at.
Ljubljana is a relatively small city for a European capital, most of it is walkable and this hotel was walkable with wheeled luggage from both the train and bus stations, no more than 10-15 minutes on foot.
Booked through hotels.com for $164 per night including taxes and fees.
Room-we got a room on the 8th floor which is the top floor with a nice view of the city from a balcony, the room was very spacious and a reasonably comfortable bed with big pillows. There was a mini bar and TV with a few channels but no movie channels.
Bathroom-toiletries included bath gel, soap and shampoo, plenty of hot water and good pressure, hair dryer
Check in was quick and pleasant. There was a swimming pool on the 8th floor but we didn't have a chance to use it. Our car rental agency, Budget, had an office in the lobby so it was very convenient.
Breakfast was included at all of the hotels we stayed at in Slovenia but this was definitely the nicest breakfast, in addition to a wide selection of the standard bread, meat, fruit, cheese and cereal there was eggs, bacon, sausage and crepes with several different toppings.

| Grand Hotel Union Business: ORIGINAL PRISON BUILDING TURNED INTO HOSTEL

My friend and I stayed one night at the Celica Hostel which is at walking distance of the centre of Ljubljana. I was told that this used to be the old Prison and some of the features would confirm that bit of info.
We slept in a mixed dorm in very comfortable beds with nice space between each one. I slept well except for a dog barking in the distance and music outside in the street, but that did not upset nor distrub me, they were just new noises in a for me new city.
There was a meditation room at the hostel which I thought was a nice idea, it was small but peaceful.
There was plenty of food and sitting area, the place was full of young but also older people. At night we walked to the centre of the city to go to a concert and it was not far at all.
There is an Internet connection. The place is spotless and the bedlinnen clean and fresh, you also get a towel. The bathroom facility was good with shower and toilet, two per dorm.
The staff were friendly and helpful and there was a good atmosphere in the place.
The fact that it used to be a Prison before and was very cleverly turned into such a great hostel I found brilliant.
Very close to centre of city which is great if you are going out for a night in the city.
There is an Art gallery at the Hostel which adds a nice touch.
Some additional info: You are asked to pay 20euro deposit but of course this is returned when you leave.
The place is secure and safe, there is a key to the dorm and also to the doors leading up to the dorm.
Breakfast is included in price, we paid 17euro each.
I would recommend that you explore their website, it give plenty of photos of all the rooms, parts of this hostel I have not seen yet.

 The Grand Hotel Union in
Ljubljana by mikelisaanna
THe rooms were decent size, with nice bathrooms and small balconies. We stayed in the Business half of the hotel. The staff was friendly and spoke English. The one thing missing was the lack of a concierge, which a hotel in this price range should have.
