This was such an awesome place to stay! The owner liked us and gave us lots of chocolate. They also gave us a free ride into the city to catch our bus! We met our true slovenian loves (Davor and Gaber).. you should come visit this hostel and find your true love (if you are single.. if you arent...

I had booked a long time in advance and on the second night I come back and my bed is put in a living area where people walk through which was not good enough the owner was friendly enough to give a small discount. Would not recommendclose

Great views, but definitely quite a bit out of the way if you don't have a car. The bathrooms are shared with other rooms in the apartment and are not in the room as indicated.

We LOVED Panorama Hostel! The hostel is a beautiful villa overlooking the sea, and we were so lucky to stay there. It is a great set-up (apartment style with kitchen) because you get to meet lots of interesting people, but you also have privacy. The staff was WONDERFUL and quite helpful (thanks...

Long and hard trek to get to but well worth it as the walk is lovely and the views are fantastic. Long walk to nicer parts of the area such as piran but again enjoyable. Hostel is modern and hasnt got much character but the surroundings and views are amazing.

Beautiful villa/house in a marvellous remote location on top of a hill overlooking the sea. Staff is simply wonderful!! We got a huge apartment for ourselves with a stove, air conditioner, all cookware, and a huge veranda with an astounding view!! Food market is a 5min walk. Great beach 15 min away. Window blinds would be nice. Thank you very much for an AWESOME time in Slovenia!! Definitely coming back!close

We had a great stay! The owner is an interesting person, great traveller and very fond of Middle East trips. He gave us a good piece of advice. We have been delighted to know him. Location is charming too.

The hostel itself is located on top of a hill with breathtaking views of Portoroz. A quick hike takes you to the nearby towns. The friendliness of the staff as well as their willingness to go above and beyond what is expected in assisting you will turn your weekend into the trip of a lifetime. Your stay at the Panorama Residence will leave you wondering if it's really a hostel or an all inclusive resort.close

The manager Bego was sweet and helpful. We'd go again!!! One thing that was tough at first was finding the place. We had to ask alot of people, several times for directions. We spoke Slovene too!!!

Even using the supposed short cut the town is a lot more like 20 or 25 than 10 minutes away. Facilities are good and the views are great but it doesnt excuse the rude service and bad directions!close

As with Postojna, my trip did not work out as planned, I lost the details of the hostel and didn't contact it or use it. The average rating is just to be able to inform you and please delete it.

The view was great, but that's about it... The 35 min walk down the mountain to the beach kind of ruined it for us.

The hostel was very nice, clean and comfortable, but the location is not ideal for those with no transport of their own, being situated at the top of the hill (long walk!) above Portoroz. The taxi down to the town cost 7 EUR. The area itself is absolutely lovely though, so is well worth stopping...
