Turn Hostel

Turn Hostel occupies the first through third floors above England Pub at Mala ulica 8, a narrow Old Town side street three minutes' walk from Dolac market and five from the bus and train station. The building has been a hostel since 2015 (before that, B&B England Pub, which is why the Booking URL still reads that way) and runs at 8.2 over 916 reviews.

The hostel is small (around 30 beds across 8 rooms) and mostly private rather than dormitory: there's one 4-bed mixed dorm and the rest are doubles, twins and triples. About half the rooms have private en-suite bathrooms; the rest share corridor bathrooms (typically two rooms per bath). The rooms themselves are clean but basic — wood floors, wardrobes, desk, a shared kettle in the corridor. Reviewers consistently call the building 'very pleasant and quiet place, very near city centre' (Ana, Portugal) and the hosts 'nice' (Ana again, Yi-ling from Taiwan, Alice from the UK).

The England Pub on the ground floor is the building's social layer. It's not the hostel bar — it's a separate venue that serves English-pub food (burgers, fish and chips, Sunday roast) and pours Union and Laško on draft plus Guinness by the bottle. Hostel guests get a 10% discount on drinks and food on presenting the key. The pub runs Premier League broadcasts on weekends and a quiz night on Wednesdays. It closes at 01:00 Thursday to Saturday, midnight Sunday to Wednesday.

Turn's location is the advantage: you're 3 minutes from Dolac market for breakfast, 5 from the bus station for a Bled day-trip, 7 from Triple Bridge. The building is quiet after 11 pm (the pub is downstairs and visible from Mala ulica, but the hostel floors are insulated enough that Ana from Portugal's 'quiet place' label is earned). No hostel pub-crawl program; the social scene is the England Pub downstairs.
