Very cozy and clean hostel with amazing staff! The hostel is very cozy and clean. I’m really thankful to the staff — my flight was delayed by 6 hours, and they still allowed me to check in very late at night. Special thanks to Kristina — she suggested upgrading my room, which turned out to be a great idea since I was extremely tired after long flights. Thank you so much, Kristina!

We had a great stay! The room was very comfortable, with a cozy bed for a good rest. The hostel had everything needed for a pleasant stay, even if you wanted to cook. On top of that, the location is excellent, which made it very easy to visit the most iconic sites. Thank you very much for everything!

The accomodation had an early check-in (at 8h30), which was really good, because we arrived in the city at dawn. The reception lady was really kind and promptly gave us the instructions for the bedroom. Although her English was not perfect, we quickly understood everything. As the reservation says, the building is very old, but after we reached the appartment, the room was clean and cozy, with all the necessary ammenities. The guest also let us leave the heavy bags in the hostel after the check-out time so that we could better enjoy the city and then we returned to pick them up before leaving at the end of the day.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

This is a very old school hostel. As an old school backpacker I don’t mind the style but don’t expect any modern installations you would get in Western Europe and American hostels. If you’re okay with that, it’s a great place to meet new people and it has a great location to explore the city. I stayed in a bedroom in an apartment they have next door which was great for me since it was quieter and I could work from there without noise.
