Reviews of Sherpa's Hostel High Tatras

Great hostel at the base of High Tatras. The COG railway station is at a walking distance. Great interiors and helpful staff. Offers a great way to warm up before heading for a hike (you will have to climb up four floors to reach the hostel. no lift).

Summers are getting warmer. Since the rooms are not made for such high weather, it might be good to keep a fan.

Very clean, easy check-in, close to train stations, you can find everything you’ll need when travelling there - from washing machine to kitchenware

Clean, modern, well equipped, comfortable. Honestly, beside the fact that it is a shared accomodation as a dorm, overall the quality is better than in many hotels. It felt like at home, comfortable couch in the living space, full equipped kitchen, hairdryer in the bathroom. No problem with parking. Excellent. Good location

I wish there were small lights at each bed. Unless there were and I didnt notice?

The hostel is very near to the Tatransky Liesvovec train station and also a 15-minute walk from the Strba train station. So, it is ideal for getting around in the high Tatras anywhere by train. The kitchen is well equipped with a coffee machine and other amenities. The bathrooms are clean and have good ventilation. The dorms are spacious. Overall satified with the stay.

The hostel is on the fifth floor of a building with no elevator. Not suitable for people with mobility issues. The main door of the building needs to be opened with a key that is chained to a box that must be opened with a code. But the key must be put back in the box after the main door is opened, without letting the main door close. How is that possible?? Please think about making this better. Communication with hostel management is not good. I sent messages on Whatsapp but did not get any response. There is no management on site.

There were clear rules to follow. The owner was also reachable via call.

The restroom was disorganized and a bit dirty, could be from other guests that were staying in the hostel as well.

Volunteers were lovely and the location was very handy for some hiking. Between 5 flights of stairs and being off the beaten track most people were into hiking so that was nice. The building was very warm so it dried my wet hiking gear very quickly. The whole place is very new so the foam mattresses are still kind of ok, the beds are built to the wall so you can move without waking your bunk mate up and the sockets fit both my adapter and my usb at the same time- a first.

The feeling that the owner/ manager had completely abandoned the place to whatever the 20 year old workaway volunteers knew how to do without instruction. I text and rang for help locating the place but was ignored. One pair of guests sat on the doorstep for an hour before someone else let them in (without calling the volunteers etc. so they could have been anyone). I woke up to find someone in the bunk above me that no one knew about. At the very least, the workaway could have access to the watsapp/ booking messages and then the manager’s ignorance would matter less. I’m older so I was comfortable taking the executive decision to throw out the mouldy food from the fridge and put the mouldy Tupperware through the dishwasher but I didn’t have the key to the bear-proof bins outside so the kitchen is rapidly becoming a display of unwashed jars cans and bottles waiting for recycling. Still a better quality than a lot of places but disappointing to see it not being taken care of.

Nice location with the train stop just a few minutes away by foot

The kitchen was left filthy when I arrived and housekeeping was not done before the time of check-in

This is an incredible hostel. It’s is clean, it has great supplies, and it’s in a great location if you’re looking to climb the high tatras and not far from two restaurants as well. Each bed has a privacy curtain, private light and private charger. The female dorm I stayed in had 4 beds. There is a common room with games, a tv, and also there is a balcony. There is a bathroom with a shower and washer and dryer (pay to use these, 3.50 euro per load). The kitchen was stocked with both free food and food you can pay extra for. It is a set-check in hostel so you can arrive anytime.

The hostel accommodates about 15 people - but ut it is cozy, clean

No explanation in how to get there and use the trains, eg what stop to get of at etc - l wasted time trying to figure it out, getting lost and buying train tickets. The others who l met at the hostel had the same issue

Perfect! Smooth checkin system no communication or staff was even necessary just used all of the information provided. Bed had great mattresses with thick pillows and blankets. Common areas and facilities were clean and comfortable!

Had everything you needed. Could not be a more welcoming vibe.

It’s new, clean and very comfortable.

Clean, comfortable and the price was ok.

5th floor not a elevator

The hall with the kitchen is in very good condition and has everything you need. Excellent view from the window.

The hostel is on the 5th floor, there is no elevator. The rooms are very small.

Very clean and the staff is communicative

Location close to strbske pleso and tatra area Great wifi Amazing view

No staff assigned Number of bathrooms/ toilets isn’t sufficient Too many beds for size of the apartment There should be another method of getting in and out of the building
