A nice place especially if you are into architecture and spatial planning. You can see the space only with a tour guide which limits exploration of the room a bit. I recommend it.

Plečnik house was a fascinating introduction to Slovenia’s famous architect. We didn’t know what to expect before visiting but we’re so glad we did. We had a wonderful guide who really brought the house alive and the tour started very soon after we arrived so we didn’t have to wait round long. I would definitely recommend!

Very nice to see Plecniks house and his influences on the city. Must see for every tourist, who is interested in architecture and arts. Guides were very nice, groups were not too big and language was Eng/Slo.

A very interesting museum of a person that meant a lot for Slovenia, Ljubljana and ex-Yugoslavia. Best for architects and designers but also for everybody else. Highly recommended to take the guided excursion cause he or she will speak of the things u will never find out urself unless u write his biography and dig into millions of papers. Small but cosy home of the greatest architect of the last century's country that does not exist any more

well maintained Plečnik's house with guided tour on the hour if you want to see all the rooms. kind tour guide but very mediocre & not kind receptionist girl. you get a anice insight into Plečnik's late years - as if you visited him and he was there sketching, smoking, eating or cuddling his dog...

Plečniks own house is as amazing as his other work. The house is kept the same way he used to live there and the guided tour with lots of insights in his life was a very interesting. Without the tour you only get to see the small exhibition about his life and work, which is also very nicely done. The house is absolutely worth visiting.
