    The facilities are just okay if you don’t look for comfort, just some place to sleep and take a shower. The bed aren’t that comfortable.

    Is in the heart of Dubrovnik, everything near to that place, good restaurant downstairs and around, easily access to the exit (after a few stairs lol)

    There is a club near the hostel and it is difficult to sleep at night.

    The staff was friendly, and the room was clean and cleaned every day. We could leave our belongings after checking out.

    Very noisy with the club and not very clean. Didn’t feel very safe. Doors were unlocked all during the day. Bed was simple and lockers had a lock. Common area smelled of cigarettes. VERY overpriced during the off season.

    Great location, very close to touristic attractions.

    Definitely need to wear shoes on the metal stairs. Only one small microwave. Lots of pots but all big. No kettle so need to use pot to boil water which was quick as they have induction elements. Staff not always there and one can store luggage using bounce but only accessible within 10am to 7pm.

    The bed was comfortable and had a proper privacy curtain. There is room for our bags and a storage cage using our own lock. Lots of showers, toilets and theyare clean. Kitchen though basic is available. Lidl nearby, do yoo is the main train and bus hub.

    No kitchen and the noise from the club next to the hostel was very loud, difficult to sleep.

    The location was perfect, in less than 10 seconds you’ll be at the main street in the old town! The staff, the room, the bathroom and the bed were 10/10! They offer towels and discount in the restaurant.

    Reception staff were not always around or available and didn't respond quickly to messages during regular check-in hours. There were a few occasions when I and others were waiting around for a staff-member to appear. We had to get restaurant staff to locate and send the person up, who we were told was hanging around in in the restaurant. However, when present, they were friendly. Didn't like the loud music that could be heard at 10:30-11pm at night with windows open.

    Location is along a main street in the old town and above their restaurant. I had a four-person mixed dorm and the attached bathroom with clean and tidy. Sheets were clean and beds were comfortable. Staff were friendly. Rooms were clean.

    For the price I got from this site and the excellent location, I cannot complain. Just to note: the hostel provides free towels and keys to your private locker, but obviously you need to bring your own toiletries, flip-flops, etc. I noticed in Room 3, the Old Town sewage smell only remains in the private bathroom, and it does NOT affect the entire dorm. Overall, a great stay.

    Nice, respectful, helpful staff (especially the guys in the restaurant downstairs). Absolutely central location on the main walking street of the Old Town. The noise from elsewhere did not bother me, I was tired and slept well. Besides, you can request earplugs from the hostel if you really need them.

    It gets very noisy at night . There’s a club next to it. I wish they have a room only for women or men. But, really didn’t care since I met really nice roommates from all over the world.

    The location was just right in the Old town square and there’s a restaurant downstairs and everywhere close to it.

    There's a bar/night club just in front of the hostel which is really loud and didn't let us sleep during our stay. Take that in mind if you have light sleep.

    Good location, staff is really friendly and attentive, clean.

    There is lot of noise outside because of some disco, but you can ask for ear plugs, which are helpful. I would appreciate some place to hang wet swimwear or towels, so it could dry quicker. Bathroom is a bit smaller.

    Hostel is really in the centre of old town, so it's close to everything and you don't need to climb countless stairs to hostel. You got locker. Personal was nice and very helpful. There is fridge on the top floor, which you can use. Air conditioning in the room is working. Good quality for fair price, because Dubrovnik is really not cheap.
