    I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel – it felt warm and welcoming from the start. The staff and volunteers were wonderful, always kind and ready to help, and the atmosphere made it easy to feel at home. I especially loved the cozy little moments, like spending time with the hostel cat, which made the place even more special.

    Air condition in room no 4 might be a bit more quiet, but that's a minor thing. Everything else was great!

    Nothing - it was absolutely tremendous!

    El Diablo is a perfect place to stay in Belgrade! The hostel is centrally located, has a cosy and cute atmosphere, is extremely clean, with comfortable beds, good bathroom and kitchen facilities, and friendly, knowledgable, and helpful staff. I can’t recommend this place enough, a truly wonderful hostel. Thanks to Dragan, Nikola, and the staff for making my stay too-notch.

    The mattresses need to be replaced. One of the 2 bathrooms is very tiny, just aim for the one on the right hand side 🤙 If you have a suitcase, the cobble road and the lack of lift is not practical.

    The staff is simply amazing, I wish I had always had this amazing hospitality everywhere I've been! Super helpful with everything. They even cooked for us guests an amazing fun Halloween dinner. The shuttle service to and from the airport is very handy and on time. I loved the rooftop terrace and the friendly and chilled atmosphere of the hostel. Super cool vibes! Amazing location, you can walk anywhere. The hostel itself is in the pedestrian area. There is also a very cool market just 2 minutes away on foot. It is a small hostel (about 18 beds in total I believe), but everything is very clean and cosy. You do feel at home all the time. Quiet times are strict. You get a towel free of charge and a locker. I was there in autumn, but I noticed that there was also the aircon in the room. Very good value for money. The cat is sweet but moody 🤣

    Guests over 170 cm tall who like to sit up in bed should request a top bunk or single bed. I am 180 cm and could not sit up straight on the bottom bunk, which made me feel unusually claustrophobic. Also, Serbia (tying with Bulgaria) has the highest rate of smoking in Europe. Smokers dominate outdoor spaces: Balconies, patios, decks, and other places that would have fresh air and may have the best views are for smokers -- either active or passive. Outside any building, people may smoke in the doorway, at tables, while walking down the street, while standing at a bus stop or in line, while working, etc., without any attempt to prevent nonsmokers (including children) from being exposed. Though the smoking situation is similar throughout the Balkans, smoking is especially prevalent in Serbia. Some restaurants in this neighborhood may not even provide a non-smoking area at all. When a restaurant server in Belgrade asks you, "Do you smoke," they just want to know if they should get you an ashtray. At two different restaurants, I also observed servers smoking on the job while standing INSIDE the doorway. As long as the door is open (e.g., in the summer), smoking just inside is acceptable. So clean air is rare in busy public places. Of course inside the hostel, smoking is strictly prohibited, and if you're familiar with the Balkans, you can expect that the balcony and rooftop are where people go to smoke.

    Central location. Friendly host with a good sense of humor! Very clean. Rules for cleanliness and quiet were made clear and taken seriously. Spacious lockers and towels provided. There are two bathrooms. The hostel offers to print out bus tickets (etc.) for guests. The hostel was not too crowded.

    Great little hostel in the city center close to all main attractions and few seconds from amazing farmers market where you can get fresh vegetables and fruits. The staff were kind and welcoming, very clean and quiet during night, bathrooms with free shower gels but what I liked more is having nice conversation with other travelers and chilling on the rooftop terrace. Definitely highly recommended.

    There is nothing I can complain about.

    What I liked most is the staff. Very cordial people who are happy to show you around Belgrade and create a friendly atmosphere in the hostel itself. They take the time to have a chat with you and there is always somebody around day and night. In addition, everything is cleaned up nicely every day and I have the feeling that the people who specifically book this hostel also have respect for hygiene and each other's stuff(as one should, but it's not always the case), if not, they have put up some funny posters encouraging nudging ;). The room I stayed in was for 8 people and was spacious enough and above all even though, we were with eight, I never had any disturbance in my sleep. they have a rule to be silent from 22pm-8am, which you are reminded of if you are being to loud, to me this was a big plus, because it was a reminder to take each other into account. They have 2 bathrooms fully equiped, which prevents waiting lines in the morning. A great asset they also have is: the terrace. It's great to sit there in the morning or after your day in the lively city of Belgrade to cool down. Although it's right in the city, it's hidden from the all the outside noise. The decor is very warm and a bit reminiscent of staying with Phoebe from "Friends." The theme of the decorations is centered around spirituality/witchcraft and at first it seemed a bit much, but by the end of my stay I could appreciate the many bells and whistles and even began to miss them. I am very grateful that this hostel was in the Lonely Planet guidebook and that it was one of the first places I went during my solo trip. This definitely put up the standard for future hostels. To the owner, staff and Toma: Keep up the good work! Together you make a gem of this hostel:) See you soon!
