    The guy from the front desk told us he will check on our broken AC after we told him it's not working, as there were 38 degress in the room, but he never did. So you can imagine what a night we've had..

    The location is amazing, a really cosy terrace and living room, super adorable cat!

    Rooms are quite basic - exactly like on the pictures. Not soundproof at all. Also for some reason almost all the restaurants you can see on a map along the river were closed - you need to order food or go to the city center to eat.

    Great terrace near the water. Quiet location. Friendly personnel. Although location is far from the center, to get there is surprisingly easy as it is just two stops on a very frequent bus

    There was a large variety in breakfast, the balcony as well as the place for eating breakfast were beautiful with having a view on the Danube. The guy at the counter was welcoming and nice. I wouldn't go so far that I did not like it, but one should take care while being on the bridge to enter the hostel.

    Same as in the first review - couldn't close the AC so it was very cold, the WC was not attached to the ground so I almost fell. But not a reason to say the staying was not very good. The proof is that I came back.

    I have forgotten to mention in my first review (I have stayed 2 nights, but with 2 different bookings) that the breakfast was delicious, with the sunrise over the Danube on the deck. Also, that the reception looks more like a quality lounge bar, with discrete nice music. Their IPA beer was also VERY GOOD. Suggestion: one should walk along the Danube to go visit Zemun (40 minutes walking) and going to the island in front, where there is a true sandy beach, to swim into the Danube. There is also a big mall at 15 minutes walking in the other direction (towards Belgrade downtown) where you can do your shoppings. Cross the bridge and you'll be in the centre of Belgrade.

    Despite some disconfort in the room, which can be understandable for a barge, it was a great staying

    Rooms are spartiate and it is impossible to stop AC. I really had cold the whole night and covered me with everything I could. There is no space to leave your stuff. But well, it's a barge, right? Let's not be too picky. The common toilet was unstable, which means it just FALLS aside (the whole toilet, with you on it) and I had almost fell with it 3 times (not fixed on the ground) and there was not shampoo. I don't want to sound pretentious, it was a great staying. Just some remarks to improve in the future, if possible.

    The positionment of the barge is awesome. The personnel are great, awesome sunrises and sunsets like in a fairy tail, the terrace is quiet the lounge space is velveted in nice and discrete music. The personnel is discrete, polite, friendly and smiling. Therefore, perfect.

    The parking is almost 500m away and you are very fortunate if you get a space. Doors and walks are thin, so you hear alot of outside noise. No curtains, so I had to use my towels to cover the windows.

    The staff were welcoming and the location was ideal.

    the room could be cleaner! and there is no parking space close! you have to park your car far away and walk quite a bit through the park carrying your luggage to get to the accommodation! and there is no fridge in the room!

    the location above the Danube was great and there is a huge park in front for walk! the young man at the reception who served us was excellent, kind and very helpful! the breakfast is good!

    I don’t like the pillow and mattress. But it doesn’t fit me. Maybe for you it would be nice.

    I like everything! Great atmosphere. Nice room. Breakfast is good. Friendly stuff. I would say this is the best place to stay in Belgrade. You will enjoy every moment in the floating hostel. You will love it. It’s nice to walk to the city centre (30 min walk). in 10 min you find nice place to eat “Pomodoro Nuovo”. If you’re looking the place to enjoy the nature and relax with opportunity to go to the bar - this is the right place.

    I want ta say that the hostel's staffs are so polite and friendly 💯💯💯 Dusan is an employee there, and he helped us with everything whatever we need, breakfast, information about Belgrade, bus details, etc., etc. He had responded to my questions at all times as so kindly. I had spent very good times in the hostel thanks to Dusan and the other guys. Absolutely, I have suggested the hostel who are making a plan to have a trip in Belgrade. You will never regret to chose the hostel. If I go to Serbia again, the hostel will be my chosen 100%. Thank you Arkabarka, thank you Dusan.
