Nice hostel with good rooms, staff was friendly and helpful. Got some good recommendations from them.
Not a lot of social space, only in the basement and there was no activities during my stay but apparently it was just a bad luck when I was talking with staff about it.

The only good things about this hostel are the location, which is pretty central and the local Serbian staff Stephanie and Sofija, who are very friendly and helpful with tips and directions of places to visit.
Apparently this is an old 2 storey house converted into a hostel. There are only 3 bathrooms for around 50 guests, and none of the showers have holders, so you have to shower with one hand!! Toilets are a bit smelly because the exhaust fans don't work.
Watch out for the staff that are volunteering in the hostel (working for free accommodation), specially Sasha and Mette. They are very rude and disrespectful towards other guests. They sit all night in the TV room, drinking free alcohol from the staff freeze and if you want to watch some TV they tell you to go away!! I think these free loaders, forget the fact that guests are paying to stay in the hostel and the facilities are primarily for the guests, not for the volunteers!!
Although they never tell you during check-in, there are some unwritten rules in this hostel. There is a curfew after 11pm, so You cant use the common room and You cant stay here more than a week at a time. So if you are planning to stay longer in Belgrade, better look somewhere else.

Everything was good about the Hostel.. except "a few" staff at the desk. Beds were super comfy, AC was really working at its best, and all beds had a charging point and a bed side light, which was really helpful and much needed. Super clean toilets too, and a good location from the main walking street while best location considering bus no 72's stop, which goes to the airport!. Literally next door !
A "few" of the staff at the desk, were not much helpful, and seemed to be grumpy/angry of no reason.. really not one likes at the first impression. anyways.. rest all good, highly recommended

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The location was also close to many tourist attractions. You can always make some new friends in the common area. Also, they have recommendations for every night.

Hotel location was perfect, near to the shopping street yet it was not noisy. The staff was helpful and friendly. Belgrade fortress and Kalemegdan Park in just minutes. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby.
9.0
Nice staff, good rooms and it’s very sociable and met some great people. Location is also great for viewing the sites and for the night life. Definitely the best hostel I stayed in when I was in the balkans.
Like the other reviews, could do with more toilets. But this is quite a minor thing.

Hreat location, friendly staff members, Balkan hospitality, great foreign gusests with interesting stories :)

Located in city centre. Good staff. Air conditioner in room I lived.
No curtains on beds(they used to be there). Old frying pans, mostly unusable. Shower cabins doesn't have handlers for shower head. If you plan to stay here and cook your food -- by ready to find place in fridges. It's possible, but very tight.

Location was good.
The staff was amazing. I kept my baggage in their storeroom after I checked out and when I came back in the evening, they allowed me to use the common washroom and kitchen before picking up my bag.
Proximity to the party area meant loud noise till very late in the night. Also, the aircon was not working yet so bit hot during the day but the night was cool and comfortable.

• friendly, easy-going, helpful staff
• the best location possible (quiet neighbourhood but two feets away from Kalamegdan, Knez Mihailova etc.)
• comfy beds, with a view to the Sava river
• big lockers where your stuff can actually fit
• a busy living room (✓ if you want to make new friends)
• the living room is at a seperated floor from the bedroom area (✓ if you want to have a good night sleep)
• a pretty fair price for such a cool place
well, go and see for yourself! 😇

The location and facility are generally great: just two flights of outdoor steps to the bus line that runs to the airport, close to the big park and fortress, a block from the main pedestrianized district of sidewalk cafes and stuff. The place is very clean, new mattresses, etc.
My room had a private bathroom that was kind of cramped. It was hard to use the toilet without having the shower curtain hanging on me. Also, the toilet brush was gross.
At the moment reception is not staffed 24/7, but they're easy to reach if there's a problem.
8.0
The best location for Belgrade. Beds where very comfy. Maybe one of the best I experienced as a backpacker. Staff was very friendly and easy going.
8.0
Great price for a very central location. Ten minute walk to bus station and republic Square. Staff were helpful and friendly. Beds comfy and rooms warm for the time of year. Decent sized lounge area too downstairs to meet other people.
