Hostel Pirano

A cute, clean modern room that's brilliantly close to all in Piran. A comfortable bed with ample bedding and a warm shower with provided towels. The environment felt safe enough as a lone female traveller. Clear information on how to allow yourself into the property. As with the rest of Piran parking is outside of the town, there is a free shuttle into town. The accomodation isn't a hostel, doesn't have a reception or a front desk so the information is slightly misleading (I'm not sure if some reviews on here are out of date, I booked via ***********). This is a self-service apartment over three floors with 5 rooms. The self-service element requires the host (Jure) to collect tourist tax/information first thing in the morning (which there seems some pressure to do from authorities), this wasn't a problem for myself, but I heard a few disgruntled conversations with other occupants. In addition to this I had to help allow two other guests into the property as they had also assumed there would be a front desk and had therefore gotten confused with information sent. It's seems this continual confusion with coming and going guests has become a frustration for the host and this was apparent in conversations overheard. Whilst the property is modern, it feels slightly as though this has been a fairly rushed job to create a business due to silly things e.g. the shower fitting is actually a bath fitting. However; the modern touch was lovely and it was extremely clean. I think the property is a little pricey for what is essentially a room/rigmarole with checking in, for a bit more you can stay at a hotel.
