The offer is valid for all of the hostels above, but you cannot combine the discounts for a single reservation. If you decided to visit all of the destinations for the May holidays, the combined price for six nights spent at six different hostels would save you the price of a single bed or room for one person per night per price list.
Below, we’re presenting Slovenia’s cities of Maribor, Velenje, Trbovlje, Bled, Postojna and Brežice, which you can visit all as part of our current offer, plus you’ll save for public transport, your personal car journey or car rental. Each city is accessible for all age groups and appropriate for every individual, no matter their capabilities.
HOP hostel Pekarna in Maribor is one of the most hospitable hostels in Slovenia. It was awarded the first place and the title “The most hospitable youth accommodation” in the My country – beautiful and hospitable competition. The latter was organised by Tourist Association of Slovenia, which was also present at the 2021 celebration in honour of HOP hostel Pekarna’s tenth anniversary. As an approval of the quality of its work, the hostel received an award, confirming the good and successful activity of the accommodation establishment of the Pekarna Cultural Centre and its various buildings where both young and old generations of guests intermingle. The complex was built in the early 20th century when the Austro-Hungarian army built a building for the purpose of bread production for the military post. In 2011, HOP hostel Pekarna saw the light of day in that very place, and it’s quite an interesting choice for May holidays with its diverse offer.
