“Brilliant staff! Lovely hostel cat :3 Love the river!”
Okay, here goes. The adorable cat, Leo. He lives in and around the hostel. Friendly kitty! All the staff are very helpful, patient and kindly. I like the peacefulness and tranquility of the surrounding water. Theres swans and ducks in the river. Good coffee and tea in the morning. Met some lovely people here. The heating works great in the room if you feel cold. I LOVED my room here. Had a little balcony overlooking the river.

It was my 2nd time at ArkaBarka, so this proves I really enjoy this place! - Quiet surroundings in nature on the river (with easy way to get to the city center by bus). - Nice, chill and calm atmosphere in the hostel, there is a mix of all types of people: younger, older, families with kids - The host Alexander and other people are really nice and helpful - There is a friendly calm cat :) if I didn't want to him to enter somewhere, it is easy to prevent this, I could even pick him up - Good breakfast with a few varied choices of salty and sweet things - There is aircon in the rooms
