House of Dreaming Books is my favourite bookstore in Slovenia, where I always spend quite lots of time when I come back from Australia (I’m a Slovenian immigrant living in Sydney). The staff is very kind and helpful. They use a very much personalised approach. For example, I wanted books for my son that wouldn’t be only fun, but as well educational, and they suggested something I’d never discover on my own. My son loves it, and we use learnings from the books in real life.

Books open imagination and ignite creativity - and having a bookstore with a soul it just brings everything to a new level. The selection of their books is fantastic - the literature is from around the whole world.

Keep doing so excellent work!!

This magical bookstore in the heart of Ljubljana enchanted me at first sight. The selection of books is excellent (literature for adults and children, great offer od Slovenian and world classic, gems od genre literature etc.). Books are beautifully designed, so if you are searching for a present, this is a perfect option; kind bookseller also wrapped it up for me. I was very pleased with the job she did when helping me choose a present for my friend who was just about to have a baby - it seems there is a book for every occasion in this lovely bookstore! I also reaaly liked the selection of music, unique notebooks, graphic and art cards. Together with the dreamy atmosphere and friendly booksellers this is h(e)aven for book lovers!

We visited the bookstore today and were looking for books in English. Highly recommended if you are looking for local literature in English. Blaž has been extremely helpful and also spoke English on a very high level. He has easily been one of the high points of our visit to Ljubljana. Thanks Blaž.

REALLY HELPFUL STAFF AND THE CHEAPEST BOOKS IN ALL LJUBLJANA

House of Dreaming Books is a wonderful place, unlike ordinary bookstores. Here the members of the staff are really passionate about literature, they are not just sellers but booklovers. They know all the books they sell, they also try to read as much as possible or at least get as much information and reviews about the books they sell as possible. So their help with choosing a book or contemplating to buy a book is really in-depth. I was buying a birthday present for my friend. I told the two sellers, Lidija and Žiga, about my requirements (some information about what kind of content I am looking for and some information about the person that I am buying for) and they were really incredible: they brought me many different books and explained the content of each one and also told why it would be appropriate. This process went on for more than an hour! They literally took more than an hour to bring me different books and make as many suggestions as possible. They were incredibly helpful and hospitable. I really felt this is a place where books are loved and where reading is appreciated. I feel deep gratitude for their generous help!
Another thing is that books are really cheap here. At least books that their publisher published (Založba Sanje - Sanje Publishing (sanje=dreams)). Založba Sanje really tries to make books accesible to wide range of people and for Slovenia's conditions books are extremely cheap and really affordable. I really appreciate this, also because I know that this causes them hardship sometimes.
Also, all of Založba Sanje's books are 50% off every weekend after 9 pm.
Oh, they are open EVERY DAY until 10pm!!
This is a very generous store with generous staff and I really recommend it. If you need books or would like to buy some books in Ljubljana, choose House of Dreaming Books.

You could definitely spend hours in this lovely bookstore! My kid was occupied with children books and animated by the friendly bookstore staff. I loved browsing through the production of best Slovenian books, music, memorabilia etc.
