    It was really hot during my stay. Be aware that it's an attic apartment with no AC. It'll get hot in the summer. They had a fan in the room, but it can only do so much.

    Friendly staff, clean, nice common area with a kitchen.

    Lights... they are set pretty low in the common area so it was a bit hard to read at night.

    It is not a big establishment so it was a nice change. Felt like a big house with access to a kitchen, laundry facilities if needed and quiet. The front desk person was helpful and friendly. Great location, close to supermarkets if you need to stock up on groceries.

    Because of a refurbisment, there was no bathroom and toilet in my level, people had to use another level. Check in was a bit complicated, because I got a wrong code for the door, so I had to knock. Another guest let me in.

    Location (very close to the old town and to the main statin), price.

    It's expectable shared room, but the space isn't much big. And the beds are too soft for me

    You can check-in whenewer you want if you ask them for self-check-in.

    During my stay toilets (not showers) were broken, so had to use some office toilets 2 floors lower. Showers need some bench for clothes and some more shelves where to put things you don't want to make wet. Also a signe for everyone not to leave their things in the shower. Need to improve electricity plug system, otherwise extension cords and cables are everywhere. In common room need to implement more shelves or something where to store all the cleaning stuff and other things which were put just on the floor next to walls and made the look and first impression a bit disorganised and messy. Need to implement some system for guests how and where to store the food that is not meant to be in the fridge. At the moment those few drawers were totally full and very messy that I even didn't want to try to out my food there. Especially this is important as it is not allowed to keep products in the rooms.

    I liked that the hostel is pretty small which gives you cozy atmosphere. Common kitchen was enough well equipped and could cook my own meals. Bed had curtains what gave a bit privacy.

    The space was a bit chaotic. The toilets are currently being renovated and the only available ones are on the 1st floor. I don’t know if it is enough for the guests.

    PERFECT location (just 400m from the Brno main train station), the room was spatious and comfortable. The staff was helpful and friendly. I liked the common space with a kitchenette, teapot, coffee machine (tea and coffee are free) and other useful things.

    No personal room keys, so, no chance to lock the room. The concierge leaves the property at 7pm and all the inhabitants are left alone (luckily, there were no problems…but I would feel safer in a locked room). Bathroom is tiny and uncomfortable but that’s just my opinion.

    Wonderful location- in the city center. Supermarket and DM are nearby. Cozy rooms. Feels like you are in someone’s apartment. There’s a washing machine and a nice living room/kitchen.

    The thing to cover the bed was really broken but it didn't affects me a lot but for some others is important their privacy

    The position to reach the main train station, Lidl supermarket and also pivna burza. I also wanted to mention Ildar (hope I wrote your name correctly) to make my stay pleasant and without a doubt I'll come again and recommend this hostel to everyone if they need a one or couple of nights

    I wish the 8bed room had more ventilation,

    The best location for the hostel one can dream about, Flix bus stop is 5e in walk and lidl is downstairs. Also liked the vibe of a common area, very cozy and sufficient to cook whatever

    - Not much light in the place, there are only tiny windows here. - Cold in the common area, seems like they are saving on heating costs, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of the comfort of the guests. - In general the place seems pretty old and nothing in the best shape (however, it’s clean) - A bit too expensive for what it is.

    - Located in the strict city centre of Brno, short walk from all of the major attractions. - Big common area with fully equipped kitchen. - Helpful staff. - Comfortable staff. - Towels provided and other things can be provided too on request (like hair dryer). - It’s clean.
