Review for Hostel Kavala, Zemun I had a wonderful stay at Hostel Kavala in Zemun. The property is clean, comfortable, and conveniently located close to the promenade, making it ideal for exploring the area. I stayed in a single-occupancy room with a double bed and a foam mattress, which was very comfortable. The room, located on the first floor at the rear of the property, was peaceful and away from any noise from the neighboring restaurant. I appreciated the choice between a feather pillow and a hollow fiber pillow, catering to different preferences. The amenities were excellent. The super-fast heating boiler ensured hot water was always available, and the central heating kept the room cozy until late at night. The spacious bathroom with a shower was impeccably clean. The room was well-furnished with a table, chair, single dresser, and nightstand, making it practical for any traveler. The friendly and welcoming owner made my stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Hostel Kavala for anyone visiting Zemun – it’s a great combination of comfort, convenience, and excellent hospitality.

There was no AC but there was a big fan.

I liked being alone and close to Exit Festival. It's good for the price.

The bathroom was a bit old and could be made a bit newer

It was great value for money and in a quiet area of Belgrade!

Bed isn't good

Cleaning could be better, there was some smell in the patio that came in thru the window like soaked smell and also the room smelled like people smoked there before

Friendly host, confortable place, not too far away from everything, restaurantes and public transport nearby

The building is a bit old but honestly all buildings in the area are similar and that was not a big issue for me.

Before I decided to rent this place, I read previous travelers comments and I thought I was going to rent a very old place which was perhaps not clean enough but as I was on budget, I decided to do it and here is my experience with Hostel Kavala from the first day: the owner Mr. Simovich was a Serbian gentleman who was very welcoming. He made sure that I liked the room I rented and then charged me the price agreed on Booking.com. Then, he took me out and showed me the area around and all necessary information about public transport. I rented his place for 4 nights. My room had a double bed with a private bathroom. All facilities worked perfectly. I rented the place for a really good price. It was really clean. The bathroom, bedroom and stairs were all clean. The bed sheets smelled nice and even the windows were clean. I had more than one or two towels in the room available. Above all, Hostel Kavala is in a 1 min walking distance to Danube river with nice restaurants cafes bars just next to the river. There is a green walking area next to it which added to its charm honestly. The bus station was 3 minutes walk away from the place to Belgrade Republic square taking 20-30 mins bus ride to get there. Moreover, there was a nice long market with fresh vegetables and fruits plus several shops in the parallel street. I couldn’t ask for more. The area is very close to center but still calm and safe. On my last day, the owner helped me carry my luggage and we had a nice coffee together before my departure. Thank you Mr. Simovich for everything

Nothing.

It's a clean, comfortable place to stay. For the money paid, it is good value and there is nothing to complain about. I have stayed here twice and will happily stay again. Great location for Zemun and the promenade.

The interior is rather Spartan, which in itself I do not mind… It’s just that the bathroom and bedroom were both illuminated by this truly horrible cold white light. This light is good for operation rooms, interrogation rooms and morgues but not for hotels, and definitely not for bedrooms

The owner is very friendly and helpful. Great location in Zemun district. Good mattress. Good Wi-fi. Budget friendly.

Very often the Internet connection is interrupted. Or the speed drops significantly.

For a hostel it is very good if you book a separate room with a shower.

Stayed in April 2024

It was missing a small fridge in the room and the shower handle holder in the shower.

The owner was very welcoming and easy going. He is a former professional football player and that comes out from his character.

The sockets in the room were quite dangerous. The kitchen could use a bit more cleaning. It would be nice if there was a cup in the room.

The room was quite good for 5 nights. It was easy to get to the city centre by bus. The bed was comfortable. The host was really friendly

Lack of wifi is quite an issue.

A comfy bed, clean room and bathroom, friendly and funny host, incredibly cheap for the value.

Nothing, given the great price and location. Everything is clean, even the parts that could use a little renovation. So would definitly recommend.

The location is one of the best in all Belgrade. In the very heart of Old Zemun; with it's huge green market, the riverfront just 2 minuites away on foot. The huge rooms are air conditioned, the hot water is piping hot and the double bed had obviously had a recent quality mattress. The ensuite bathroom is also big. The staff were helpful and very correct. A kettle, basic cooking utensils and a huge fridge freezer are in the shared kitchen. The price is exceptionally good value. If you are in Belgrade for a couple of days, then this place will tick boxes for you.

The room was shabby and it smelled extremely of cigarette smoke. I left open the window all night but it didn't help. The bathroom needs a real cleaning. The room had everything that was needed: a bed, bedsheets, a shower, although on a very basic level. The owner showed me how to use the (free) public transport to the airport, that was very helpful. You have to change bus line to get to the airport. The district where the rooms are is called Semun and it's far away from the center of Belgrad.
