Central 4 Bedroom 154m2 Apartment with terrace

We stayed in a twin room. It was pretty okay to sleep just one night. The location was amazing. Walkable to the old town and many restaurants/cafes/bars nearby. The price was super reasonable for the private room, so I didn't expect much, though we deeply regretted that we didn't bring earplugs... The staff was kind. The balcony was nice!

Cleanliness and sound insulation were the main issues. The hallway and stairway leading to the hostel entrance smelled like urine. The room itself was clean enough, but the pillow was so old that I could feel dirt and saliva from previous guests. There was a lot of aged, open, stale, and forgotten food in the fridge. The towel provided was not really a towel, but a very worn-out rug—still usable, but I’d recommend bringing your own. Sound insulation was extremely poor. You could hear everything from the common space and the bathroom next to the room — doors slamming, people talking, dishes clanking, and more.

Comfortable bed, kind hosts, spacey rooms, nice kitchen, very clean, warm.

Self check in is a bit painful for the first time. The lock, where the key is, is a bit difficult to open.

The hostel has a very central location, very close to Tasmajdan and St Mark's Church (5 min walk max.) as well as to the nearest bus and tram stops, which makes it very convenient to get there both from/to the central bus station and the airport. Though the hostel offers mixed rooms, it was really appreciated that they still tried to separate males and females upon availability (so in my room, we were only girls). The room was very spacious, having lockers (with a key (for free) and with a code (for an extra charge), so one can choose between them), a table and 3 chairs. There were 2 types of beds in the room (like in the pictures), and i was lucky to get the one with a curtain, which seemed a lot more comfortable than the other type. The bed linen was nice and fresh, the mattress and the pillow - very comfortable. The window opened to a rather noisy street. But when we closed it, the room was quiet enough, and the A/C helped to keep a comfortable temperature. There are 2 bathrooms in the hostel, which was enough, though sometimes one had to wait. A towel was included in the rate, but there were no toiletries, only some liquid soap, so it's better to have yours. The kitchen was well-equipped and convenient if you need to cook or keep your food in a fridge; the common living area was spacious and comfy. There are also 2 small balconies if you want to spend some time outside. The rooms and the common areas were cleaned every day, which was nice. The hostel was accessible 24/7 with an entry code; the reception personnel were there from 9 till 17, and they were very welcoming, friendly and helpful, but the checkin and checkout hours were strict. Still one could leave their luggage and stay either in the living room or walk around the city if they need to wait. I liked my stay there and will be happy to come again.

Overall, the hostel was nice and clean, but a bit dated, so some renovation would be good, especially in the bathrooms, as well as chemical cleaning of the improvised sofas in the living area

Location

It's been advertised as "apartments", even the amenities stated there was a bathroom (no mention of it being shared)....clearly an example of false advertising. How hard is it to say it's a Hostel? Furthermore, too expensive for a hostel, nevermind the location. The lamp in my room was also flickering, unsafe to use due to cracking sound.
