Pros: This place nails what a hostel should be, clean, safe, and full of character. Loved the social atmosphere and the ease of meeting fellow travelers. The team was always happy to offer tips on tours, restaurants, and nightlife. If you want to explore Kotor and make new friends along the way, this is the spot.

Cons: Nothing, everything met or exceeded expectations.

Absolutely fantastic stay!

Pros: Perfect location right in the heart of Kotor’s Old Town — we walked everywhere. The rooms were spotless, the beds comfortable, and the common areas felt welcoming and social without being noisy. What really stood out was the staff: super friendly, knowledgeable about local spots, and genuinely eager to help. Best hostel experience we’ve had in Montenegro!

Cons: Only stayed a short time, wish we could’ve stayed longer. No major negatives worth mentioning.

Great location and staff, but top-floor room is a struggle with heavy bags.

Pros: Ramy made my stay unforgettable—so sweet and kind! He gave me free food and drinks, carried my bag, sent me to the bus station, shared travel tips, played great songs, and is an amazing photographer—thank you!

Cons: What I didn’t like was that my room was on the top floor. It was a bit of a struggle carrying my heavy bag up the stairs.

Great place to be and meet people

Pros: The hostel is clean, comfortable, and perfectly located right in the old town. Rooms are well kept, and the views around the hostel are beautiful — especially in the mornings and evenings. What stood out most was the atmosphere. The team is genuinely welcoming. Milan is super helpful and always available, and Diego makes amazing homemade food — the affordable dinners and shared meals made it easy to meet people. Free rakija definitely helped break the ice. There’s almost always something happening, but it never feels forced. Big thanks to Ramy as well for helping organize dinners and hangouts and making newcomers feel included. Great place if you want a social hostel with good energy, without the party chaos.

Cons: Loved everything about this place.

Great spot. strongly recommend

Pros: Great spot in the old town with a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful views. Food was fresh and well prepared, drinks were solid, and the staff were friendly without being pushy. Perfect place to sit, eat, and actually enjoy Kotor instead of rushing through it. Would definitely come back.

Cons: Everything was great

Great, social hostel in the heart of Kotor Old Town

Pros: Large, comfortable and clean rooms right in the heart of old town. Friendly staff and great activities on offer to meet new people whilst exploring Kotor - I made some amazing friends during my stay here who I went on to travel with after! Bunks have curtains and all rooms have storage lockers for your belongings. Kitchen has everything you need to cook any meal and lots of fridges. Nice views from the room. Pool is a bonus!

Great social vibe

Pros: Great social vibe and activities every night. We loved the karaoke nights and trivia. Also enjoyed the activities like the boat party and sunset bbq. Beds were comfortable with huge lockers under the bed. Bathrooms were decent too. Loved the fact that you could bring your own drinks to the hostel bar. Staff and volunteers were really friendly and created a good social atmosphere.

Cons: It is very expensive for what you get. I get it’s in old town but I can’t say it’s good value for money. The kitchen constantly smelt like urine for three days. It was unbearable to go in the kitchen because of the smell. Also the door mechanisms to the rooms are super loud so you get woken up everytime someone enters the room or leaves

Diego 10/10
Chile 🇨🇱

Pros: Sleeping in this hostel has been one of the best experiences of this trip through the Balkans. It has many positive aspects: the bathrooms, the rooms, and the hostel itself are kept clean; you can see the volunteers constantly cleaning. The staff is very friendly and always helpful with any questions. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are quiet. It has truly been a rewarding stay here.
