Wonderful! ☺️
Our only hostel stay on a 3 week tour of Croatia travelling with our 4 yr old so a hostel was a bit of a gamble but after reading previous reviews from families we thought we’d try it.
Greeted by lovely staff.
Room was a compact double (our 4 yr old co sleeps with us anyway but this room size definitely wouldn’t work if not Co sleeping as room is not large enough to accommodate a pull out bed)
Desk, TV, wardrobe and compact shower room
Use of common room - fairly small for a hostel - dining table that seats 6 some taller bar tables, a sofa and bean bags.
Communal fridge/sink, kettle, microwave and 2 burner hob (queues to use at busy periods and this was off season)
Garden area - not set up when we visited in March but I’m sure a lovely space for summer.
Great central location
Excellent breakfast and choices
Good coffee
Would recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, it was far better than many of the private apartments we booked along our travels.
Can get clothes washed and dried for €10 ☺️

Very clean hostel. Location is fantastic. Beds are comfortable. Our room had an air condition which was very good in the hot summer. There are many restaurants and bars around. It also has a supermarket less than 1 min far away. The manager, Maria is very friendly and shares all the info you need.

Great hostel. Lovely rooms and shower facilities. Gorgeous outside terrace for a drink or dining. Hostel is right in the centre of the old town, plenty of restaurants around and close to the sea organ. Boat trips near by from the marina. Will definitely be coming back to stay.

Cozy hostel
The hostel was so good that I even booked another night after 2 nights. Everywhere was so clean, dorm room had privacy because the drapes and common rooms were cozy.
I recommend this hostel!
