Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The localisation in the Downtown is superb, most of atractions and good cafes and restaurants as well as money changers or mobile services is in walking distance from hostel. The ambience is basic, loft style, clean. There is a good privacy inside the dorms. The hotel staff is super helpful f.e. with bus ticket booking or giving pro tips for local transportation. They have theire own restaurant and the rooftop space open till late evening, which is very convenient in the city, where almost everything closes before 8am

    It's being run by student undertaking the hotel course, they are friendly and energetic. Everything has been beyond my expectation, this hostel is better than most hostels I have stayed in Europe. You can hardly see a foreign tourist in the country at the moment due to the political situation, but the city itself is very safe to travel. Grab your ticket and visa and explore this beautiful country with amazing people!
