    bathroom next to the entrance, the kitchen very small. It does not have a lobby, only rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. guests who live there, listen to music, and watch videos without using headphones with high volume and make too much noise, do not respect the rest or sleep of other roommates. very cold room and very thin blankets.

    Some guests entered into the room in the middle of the night, which woke me up. But since this is a hostel, this is something to be expected. I've met nice people there. Overall good experience. Owner was nice and hospitable.

    Quiet and central location. Couldn't be better.

    In my opinion, it lacks a common area where you can chill and socialize. Basically it’s a combination of rooms + toilet + showers + kitchen (something valuable). But it lacks all the rest of the interesting stuff that define my idea of a ‘real’ hostel. But I would stay again definitely.

    I enjoyed staying there, Diana was welcoming and speaks fluent spanish and everything was super clean and comfortable. I liked the location.

    It would be nice to have commons space where one could sit and read a book, or talk with people - outside the kitchen or other rooms.

    Very close to the old town. The Lady who owns this hostel is super nice and helpful. Good internet connection.

    The only common area is two or three stools in a narrow kitchen, so there was no area to gather and talk with other travelers or to work besides your room/bed. If you are upstairs, the only bathrooms are downstairs.

    Sturdy bunk beds with large stable shelf compartment at head for placing stuff and in addition to medium sized lockers. Clean and with kitchen, unlike many other hostels in Brasov. Close to Tampa hill where there are walking trails and a few exercise facilities.

    No hand washing soaps in the bathroom. Lots of smelly shoes in the 8 bed dormitory. Other guests ate our bananas from the fridge. Kitchen is too small and pretty uncomfortable. If you want to cook something, you have to wait because there is only one portable electric stove.

    Good location, but it you're coming by train, it's 30 minutes walk from the station. You get 1 towel. It's cheap.

    The toilets smell really, really, really bad, especially with the heat of the summer.

    Very good place. Situated in the old town so perfect for visiting. Also at the foot of the belevedere so great for hiking. Check in is fast, for check out you only have to leave the key in the appropriate box. The rooms are clean, there's lockers for each bed and you can leave your things until late the day you leave. There is plenty of showers and they are clean.

    I wish the beds had privacy curtains. Bathrooms were a little dirty but there were also MANY stalls and showers to choose from. If they cleaned the showers more often this place would be a solid 10/10. That said i loved the place and will be back!

    Super comfortable bed, working washer, absoluelty beautiful surroundings! The hostel in located at the bottom of the mountain, right behind old town surrounded by lush nature. It was absolutely beautiful! I met some great people during my stay!

    - A Chinese or Japanese woman came and talked to herself for hours in our room and wrote on the computer. I had to wake up at 9 am to this woman's voice. She never shut up. - In the 4-person room, either that woman or someone else had made an extra bed the previous day, in the 4-person room. We tried to sleep 5 people. - I think the mechanism to check the hostel security is problematic. - bathrooms and toilets are intertwined. - The kitchen is for 2-3 people only. a little small. - The shower heads in the bathroom are very short, you have to get close to the wall to take a shower. - Rooms are unfortunately small. Unfortunately, it is not an environment where 4 people can breathe comfortably.

    - There is a socket and a light on the wall of the bed. - You can wash your dirty clothes by buying liquid soap for 3 lei. - It has a very good location in the old town. - the beds are clean and there is also a separate compartment on the sides of the beds. You can put your own belongings (bags, jackets, etc.) there. - towel free but small like face towel. - lockers and locks free of charge. - There is liquid soap in the shower area. - Hair dryer is available.

    Unfortunately I got bitten pretty bad by bed bugs. Wouldn't recommend this place to my friends.

    The biggest advantage is the localization, for sure. I got clear information about how to get to the hostel and get the key. Met some very friendly people also.

    There’s not a lot of extra space in the dorm rooms and the kitchen is also very small. There’s no lounge, living room etc. If you are looking for a social hostel with activities, common spaces etc. then this is not the best option for you. Even though the bathroom was clean after the cleaning hour especially the showers got quite dirty very soon after it. They are also quite small which is inconvenient especially for showering and changing.

    The location is very good. It’s only a few minutes away from many main sights in Brasov on foot. The location is also very quiet far from any bigger roads. The bathroom was clean after the cleaning hour.
