Hostel Villa Domus

Top choice in Koper


On the southern fringe of the old city, this well-regarded hostel has simple but modern dorms and doubles or twins that put most hotels in the area to shame. Some rooms from the upper floors have fine views and the rooms themselves, though on the small side, are terrific value.
