    Even though it’s 18-35 age limit, many people above 35 were staying there which is weird. Got yelled at by a staff member and treated poorly for being ‘too loud’ in the bar when it was only 8 pm….

    The only thing I didn’t love was the laundry service. It was 15€ and the clothes did not feel very cleaned after the service.

    It was really nice and social, that’s great specially when you’re solo traveling. They have free pizza every night and it is really yummy.

    I cannot recommend this enough. No idea how it’s not a straight 10 in terms of accommodation. The facilities are fantastic, the location is brilliant, and the free pizza is amazing. The staff are so lovely and accommodating - anything you need they will do their absolute best to assist you. As a solo traveller, this was easily my best experience I’ve ever had. The hostel is so social and it’s not hard to make friends for life. Solid 11/10 stay.

    Only thing is that I’d expect shower gel and shampoo in private rooms and one chair in balcony was broken.

    It was a very convenient location, close to a super nice beach and also the old town. Everything was working well and it was clean. The balcony was great. But most beds were from cheap foam mattress though there was one bed that’s better.

    The bathroom in the private room was a bit small and a little inconvenient. But still good for the value. The hostel is a walk up from the coast, so be mindful carrying bags. There are stairs at the hostel too, so be prepared. May cause inconvenience to some.

    The private room was spacious for 2, very clean. The view out the balcony is really nice since the hostel is located a little higher up than the coastal road. The town center, beach and few really good restaurants are only a short walk away

    All of the staff were amazing!! There is a few pub crawl every night with a free shot. Free pizza every night with cocktails for only 10 euros! And you get a free shot with every cocktail. Everything was super clean, not loud at night or anything. It’s an about a 10 minute walk to the heart of Hvar. Then only a 5 minute walk to the beach, supermarket and some really nice local restaurants. Amazing overall was so sad to leave. Perfect for couples, solo travels and friends!

    I wish there was somewhere to hang clothing after washing (shower wash, not aware of any laundry facilities). We were also given a pretty bad beach recommendation, it was very dirty and filled with tourists. I would avoid Pokonji dol Beach and check out the rock pools you pass on the coastline, or elsewhere on the island entirely.

    Close the Hvar city centre. The staff throughout the hostel were all quite nice. We didn't take part in pizza night or the pub crawl, but they both sounded great. Super close to the water. Scooter rentals available for €40 per day.

    It was my first stay in a hostel and all my prejudices about hostels were removed, since I really had a good time. Yet, the living together had the common disadvantages, since it can happen that some people don't pay attention to leave everything clean and the cleaning stuff can not run after them in any second and clean their dirtyness. But luckily it happened very rarely. Lots of people wanted the air conditioner at 15°C over night although there was no need for that and all of them were waking up sick and still not getting aware of the cause for that. I suffered from being sick almost during my whole stay because of that. The stuff tried to help but they also couldn't have a total control of the personal acts. And I think we couldn't really adjust the temperature to ~20°C. I had an issue with my drawer at the beginning and some other things that were bothering me but the good thing is that the stuff is there in any moment for everything and takes care about everything at the moment, so it was solved immediately. In any case I would come again at this place though, because I think such an organisation can not be found anywhere else.

    The design. Arranged with vision, love and enthusiasm. A beautiful yard with lots of flowers, cute small details and a nice kitchen. Good common place outside for eating, having a coffee, meeting people, enjoying... The bar on the terrace with a sea view and terrific sunsets was really exotic and the coctails were great. Friendly place where you can have a lots of fun and meet new people every day during the free pizza evenings (the pizza was also good and freshly baked on site) and with the engagement of our volonteers that took us every evening to pub crowling that was really fun. You can have also your private sphere, since the beds had curtains, a plug and light inside for each person. Our was 12-people room with 2 toilets, 1 shower, but there was no need for waiting since almost everyone had a personal agenda different from the others. It was cleaned daily and the stuff was nice and helpful and always on site. The night security paid attention for our security and the peace around so that the people could have a good rest. Rooms as on the photos, I liked them :) I would come again here :)

    Staff didn’t seem friendly, we had a 3P room which isn’t big enough for 3ppl especially backpackers with large rucksacks as our room has 0 Wardrobes and very little walkway. Would have been better if the space had been utilised with double/triple bunks.

    Can rent cars/bikes. Free pizza. Communal kitchen areas and fridges are all clean and plenty space for everyone. Drinks are cheaper in the hostel than outside.
