    Location is just perfect. Cleanliness and overall bathroom quality is above expectations for a hostel. I didn't spend a lot of time in the hostel because of my short stay, but it seemed to have a warm atmosphere.

    Maybe a small thing, was not having a socket beside or close my bed to charge the mobile at night. But overall, it is not a con neither a problem. So, no complaining at all.

    Very well located, this hostel is clean, well organized, with good vibe, and a excellent and friendly staff. I definitivelly stay again at this hostel when returning to Belgrade.

    Immaculate and tidy rooms, common spaces and bathrooms :) The staff is professional, friendly, kind and serviceable. The location is strategic for the city centre and bus terminus.

    At first I could not find it, google maps took me to a wrong passage. But after a little research I easily located it. There were some people that stayed there for a longer period of time and some of them were snoring very loudly. Which is not something the hostel can control. But they were kind enough to give me another room immediately and I also got earplugs, so I managed to sleep very well!

    Location perfect! Stuff great! Overall coziness and comfort. Clean, very well organized. Good volunteers very well organozed too. Guests did not have to wash the stuff in the kitchen, it was a job of the volunteers (finally)! Very well heated and hot water available all the time! Homie and friendly atmosphere Right next to a public parking garage if you come by car and right next to the most popular street in Belgrade, Knez Mihajlova to walk by foot. Bonus: The best hairdressing salon in the area is right next to it.

    Nothing. Compared to all the places I've stayed during this short vacation, this one was the most friendly and overall the best.

    Amazing staff, both owners and volunteers. Very friendly and very helpful. Great location, feel safe (huge individual lockers), clean and perfect. Friendly common area with working kitchen appliances, and free coffee and tea.

    It's difficult to find the hostel, it's located inside a courtyard, to reach the hostel you must enter a white portico and walk to the back, there aren't any signs showing the way.

    The staff are friendly and helpful, the bedroom is comfortable, with lockers. Very well located near the city centre.

    Watch out with the "door knob patrol dude". Just ignore him and enjoy the place😁

    Great hostel, good location, very clean and organized. Not a party hostel but, was not looking to party so it was great. Hostel on back of alleyway. No signs directing but, not hard to find. Follow pics posted. Confortable solid bed. If staying in downstairs room ask for extra blanquet and host will provide. Winter can be a little cold. Does have stairs but, was not an issue for me. Picture are real.

    I love this hostel. I was gonna stay here only for one or two nights but after all I stayed there for 5 days. It's clean, tidy, and comfotable. Very convinient and stuffs, they are amazing. Even other guests were so nice. I was lucky to shear the room with those nice people who respect others very well. I feel this is the best hostel in this city. I stayed at another hostle but that was horrible. If you pick this hostel, there will be no problem for your stay in belgrade. You won't regret it. Arigato!
