“Charming hostel”
The hostel is very charming, and everyone was extremely kind and welcoming. The room was spacious and clean, and having our own private bathroom was a great bonus. The location is excellent — just a few minutes from the city center and the Christmas market, and no more than a 20-minute walk to the bridge and the fortress. We were very satisfied with our stay.

The place is really cute and the location is amazing, right next to the main square., still it's a really calm place, so you will get a good sleep here. The people working here really made sure I had the best stay possible and it was nice to know that the place was actually run by locals and not some big chain. Would definitely stay here again and as a female solo traveller I felt really safe here.

“A comfortable no frills hostel, with private accommodation, well located for the centre of the city”
This is a comfortable no frills, small hostel well located in the centre of Novi Sad. I stayed in one of the private rooms, which was straightforward, comfortable bed and functional bathroom, and reasonably priced. While the city suffers from truncated public transport services due to the very sad events at the main station, it seems likely that more travellers will need to break the trip in Novi Sad, and this is a good, simple option. Cash only.

Lovely to experience well travelled people in hospitality. The owners are travellers themselves and therefore understand what fellow travellers need. The hostel is right at the center, super clean, spacious dormitory, dedicated electric sockets, there's a kitchen, comfortable common area, but most importantly super friendly and helpful hosts. I recommend this place a 100%.

It's was good, but it says that they have 24/7 check-in, but I was there around midnight and I was trying to reach hostel staff (because it's not open 24/7 suddenly). But in general, it was comfortable to stay there for 1 night.
