Hostel Celica

Hostel Celica is a converted military prison in the Metelkova area with 20 former cells and 9 standard rooms, each displaying distinct artistic designs. The rooms retain original architectural details like metal bars and doors while offering modern comforts for guests.

The building operated as a military prison until Slovenia's independence in 1991, when its use as a detention facility ended. It was reimagined as a hostel starting in 2003, marking a significant shift in the building's purpose.

The hostel serves as a gathering space where local musicians and artists present their work to visitors from around the world. These events happen regularly and create informal encounters between people through performances and exhibitions.

The hostel is situated about 5 minutes from Ljubljana's main train station, making it easy to reach on foot. Staff can arrange guided tours of the building and provide directions to nearby attractions and transport options.

Each room was designed by a different Slovenian artist, carrying the creative mark of its creator. This individual approach means no two stays feel visually the same and captures the artistic energy of the local scene.
