    Nothing, everything is beautiful

    Everything, good treatment, hygiene respect, there is a woman who manages the hostel . Her morals are very high and good, and I felt that I am at home.

    It is inevitable that the common space is narrow due to the structure of the house.

    The location is very convenient as it is less than 300 meters from the main square of Brasov's old town. The host is very friendly and cleans up immediately, making it the cleanest hostel I've ever experienced. And the bed was as comfortable as sleeping at home, so I was able to sleep well.

    There are no major complaining. Overall, the stay was good. So, nothing specific to mention.

    The location is very good, in the heart of the Brasov old town. The hostel was very clean and comfortable and the staff helpful.

    The best hostel I have ever been to. Good location in the city, very nice host who gives recommendations for trips, tours, restaurants, etc., easy to get in touch with other solo travelers and I got an upgrade to a double bed for free. Tee & coffee, shampoo, towels are included and everything was very clean. I would always book it again!

    Further away from the train station, pictures probably made it look a bit newer than it is - it is a charming traditional flat converted into a hostel.

    The lady on arrival was so sweet, she gave so so much information and was always there to help. You could tell she really looked after the place. Two main dorm rooms and a smaller bathroom, I can imagine that would get crowded if hostel was full but fine when I was there. They have double beds in the dorms which makes such a difference and she kindly upgraded me - I loved this! Nice touch! Close to old town, perfect location. I would stay again for sure!

    Everything was perfect. Nothing will top this hostel. The staff are the friendliest people I've met (ever), the beds are just stupidly comfortable, the curtains are a great touch, the bathrooms are clean, the kitchen is clean, everything was perfect.

    The best hostel experience I've had anywhere

    It would be nice if a stovetop can be allowed in the building. But that's a minor issue. I loved everything. I love Anna. This is where I will stay again when I return to Brasov. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit this beautiful town.

    Location - on a quiet street but close to restaurants, grocery shops, the pedestrian street and major sights Room - Big and bright with huge comfortable beds. The custom-made bunk beds are sturdy and solid, so there is no motion disturbance. Both upper and lower bunks have very good height clearance to allow maximum space. Thick bedside curtain completely blocks light and provides excellent privacy. Beddings are clean, fresh-smelling and extremely comfortable. I have had my best sleep here in my entire trip. Shower - Modern shower fixture with choices of showerheads. Hot water is plenty and strong. As modern and comfortable as the infrastructure is, the gem of this little hostel is Anna, caretaker and part-owner. She is simply amazing. She was very responsive with all my questions before I arrived, and was as helpful as can be after I checked in. She is always around, knows everything and everywhere; as an avid hiker and mountain climber herself, she offers many good tips for people who want to check out local trails. She keeps the small yet precious hostel immaculate and welcoming to all her guests. I enjoyed talking to her tremendously. She made me feel that I was staying with a friend.

    It exceeded my expectations. A hostel with a double bed and a curtain that ensures you have privacy while in bed. Anna was really very welcoming, always there to give recommendations and advice should you have any questions. Thank you Anna! There was a common space/ kitchen area where the guests can hang out and mingle which was good. The shower space was clean and they even provided a bag for you to put your clothing to ensure it doesn't get wet while you shower. Location-wise, it was right in the heart of the city center, although you have to walk through a small alley to reach the hostel, but it was still safe even at night with ample lights. It is only about 5 min walk to the main square with lots of things to do and see. Will be back if I visit Brasov again!:)

    Not at all!

    This is my 9th year of solo travelling since 2016 and I could say this could be the top 3 hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The owner is Japanese and he pays so much attention to the details of the facilities: the curtain that could be fully closed to guarantee the maximum privacy and comfort, the double sockets and little lamp, the spacious bed even enough for 3 people, the good vibe and clean space in the kitchen/public area, the elevated ground of the toilet to suit the needs of both high and short people. And when you check out there’s no problem staying a bit and taking a shower. The staffs are quite energetic and professional, I wish I could have stayed longer but I’m going to Moldova tonight, but I think I’m gonna come back again in summer for hiking around Brasov!!!

    Can’t complain about anything

    Loved everything about it! From the women at the reception that were very nice, friendly and welcoming, to the vibe of the place that was very homelike. Rooms were very clean, modern. Beds were queen size very spacious. Privacy curtains, reliable lockers inside of the room, place to hang your stuff like ski jackets and big things you might be carrying with you. Honestly, a great experience all around. I ll be coming back there anytime I m jn Brasov.

    Anna is an energetic host and experienced hiker with loads of advices about the surrounding area. She will even teach you how to face bears. If you are planning to visit Brasov and hiking is your jam, I’ll be really sad if you don’t stay here.

    I do not know where to start, but there was a staff that stayed with us there. And I cannot emphasize how much we (guests) appreciate her sooooo much there. She was just like family, a GENUINE loving ant if I may say. She care so so much about us. Made sure we were dressed appropriately for the weather, eaten before leaving, dried hair before stepping out, and was well rested and situated with the rest of the guests. This is hostel would not have been the same without her. We came home one night not feeling very well... let me tell you, if it was not for her, we would not have survived the night.... I would stay at this hotel for 200 euro per night rather than a luxury 5-start Hilton any day!!!
