    No AC in the kitchen, so it was very hot in the one tiny common area. No stovetop, but we managed to cook our pasta using the water from the kettle and the microwave. The sign on the street is very small, so it seemed we were at an apartment building, not a hostel. Could be difficult to find after dark.

    The friendly helpful staff! The AC in the room was awesome and much appreciated. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and with good showers. It was well-run with a friendly vibe - peaceful and easy to stay there.

    Security is not save enough. No lift and it’s on 2nd floor so you have to do workouts

    Good balcony to dry your clothes because laundry costs 15euro which is super expensive. Close to harbour and bus station and tourist spots. It has curtain privacy is good

    the bunk beds, the top ones, have no privacy at al - no wall light or something to accommodate travelers that don't want to stay up past a certain time. the structure of the bed is very wonky, as when another person coughed, we all did a dance of shaking our little horizontal bodies (I empathize but also you wouldn't want that throughout all night)

    the staff and the kitchen with the balcony are great, location wise as well, is close to a market and very handy near the bus station.

    Hostel made for young people. The shared room was a mess, the window and the cortine remained closed all day. It was smelling alcohol from the night before.

    Dora was amazing, super kind and helpful.

    The beds weren't very modern or private, and there are only 2 showers so you do have to wait sometimes for your turn to shower.

    Staff were friendly and very helpful. There were clean sheets and a large comfy pillow. The lockers were big and I was able to easily fit all my luggage in. Location was great, 5min walk and you on the main stripe in Split with all the restaurants and sites.

    Unfortunately the kitchen was very small, and didn't have things like a cooking plate. The rooms sometimes had the AC switched off when it was extremely hot in the day, or it was blasted at maximum intensity during the night... I actually fell a bit sick because of the coldness of the room during my last night. (Tip: kindly flag it directly to the reception, if you notice it, and they will adjust it for you... Unfortunately the reception was closed for the day, when I had noticed this)

    Excellent location, very central within Split. The staff were EXTREMELY helpful with planning any activity, or basically any information required about where the supermarket or where to eat, for example. Special thanks to Maria for her kindness and extensive help with my various questions. Beds were okay, a bit small, but decent. Quite a basic hostel, but had most necessary amenities required.

    Nothing really. Maybe the outside was a bit loud with the revving engines but that is no fault of the property

    Good staff and really easy to check in and out. One of the cleanest I have stayed in my bagpacking trip so far

    If you wanted to cook a proper meal, the kitchen would not be sufficient. Also, it would get crowded if there were several parties trying to use it at the same time. When I was there, this was no problem, as I left early in the morning.

    The location was perfect, just a short distance from the train/bus station and all the sights. That was also the reason I had chosen this hostel. The hostel is small but you have all you need. When I was there it was nice and quiet, with guests being respectful of other people's sleep and privacy. Bathrooms were functional and clean.

    - Beds are not too comfortable. - Towel not included even tho the price is high. - If you have heavy luggages it will be a challenge because it is in 3rd floor. - Only cash as payment method. - Price is high for what it offers - Air conditioning was weak. - Curtain was short but at least the have. - The bed doesn't have a light. - Not the ideal hostel to have a good rest given that many backpackers go partying and arrive late at night and make noise, turn light on and more.

    - Location. Very close to the bus station and the old town. - You can leave your baggages before check-in. - Staff is nice. - Good not noisy lockers. - Ok wifi.

    The individual storage space was too less and room with 8 bunk beds was quite small. The bathroom was also very small. Since my room was at the main road side, there was traffic noise too. It is located on second floor without lift so carrying luggage is a task.

    Location was excellent, everything was at a walking distance. Staff was really helpful. It was pretty clean too.
