    The smell of methane gas in the bathroom. I understand that in an old building the owner of one apartment can't replace the plumbing but very unappealing.

    The location was good.

    Extremely amazing staff who made me Domaća Kafa (local coffee) first thing in the morning. They were very helpful and enthusiastic. The location is good and the rooms are very clean and comfortable, with lots of bars just outside the hostel.

    It is indicated that the bathroom is private, but it is not. It is not in the room and this causes some inconvenience. Also, the bathroom is not comfortable and cozy

    Old house in the old town. The great and very comfortable location, friendly stuff who can help you with any question, can make white Beli Carton for you if needed. This hotel is also pet-friendly, you can bring your pets here

    Grumpy Serbian lady seemed very unhappy we were there. Shower didn't work properly. Quite noisy through the walls from dorm room.

    Good location. Spacious room (very big). Helpful advice on parking when we booked. Bed was comfortable.

    1.downstairs there is a bar, right under the windows, so in the evening and even at night it is noisy. Which makes it quite difficult to relax, especially noisy from Friday to Sunday. 2.the second floor of the beds is made so low that it is possible to arrive on the bed only in a lying position. (This is a minus for me) 3.Not quite clear monetary calculation was for me personally. Since two people representing the staff could voice a different amount (which is strange for me) (maybe I didn’t understand something, but still) 4.also a minus for me personally is that the toilet often smells into the room (here, again, maybe it just happened to me).

    I liked that the sights were very close

    The location was exceptional, the room was very spacious and comfortable. The windows had nets for mosquitoes so it was easy to air the room. The bathroom was very clean and they provided towels! The host was very accommodating and she made us a nice cup of coffee on a lovely balcony in the morning.

    I was made to pay almost double as the lady was confused with the money. Hoping it was just a mistake and not a scam. So for me it wasn't good value for money for this reason.

    Very comfortable beds, access to kitchen with everything you need, good location in the town.

    The noise from the room next to ours was unbearable and during the night I saw a few bed bugs. The host told me they sprayed a few day before, but still, I don't think you should take guests if you are not sure they are all gone.

    The host was kind and relaxed. Everything was clean and the facilities were okay.

    The lady who checked me in didn't speak English at all and was a little difficult to communicate, I didn't get any key to the hostel (she locks and opens for guests) which was weird. The whole hostel in my opinion needs quite a refreshment / renovation, some new design. It doesn't feel inviting / cozy unfortunately but has potential.

    Quite cheap hostel. Good location, comfortable bed.

    Crammed beds/room - Ideally that 10 person dorm should serve a max of 4-6 people... with all the luggages, lockers, etc. there is hardly any space to walk around. The highlight is for all the people in the whole hostel combined, there is just one shower+toilet and that too together; so, wait forever for your turn. The only staff there sleeps in the common room and she locks it every evening - so no access and you dare not sit in the couch she sleeps in, lol. Also she doesnt speak English, so you can ask anything at all.

    The only thing this hostel has it going for itself is the location - right at the center. Everything else is a let down.

    The bathroom was too small, no closet and no space to put our clothes in the bedroom. The parking wasn't available near the place, so we needed to bring our things for at least 800 m.

    The location was good.
