This hostel have a special style. Inside it's look like a boat and you have a very nice view around on Zemun and Belgrade. But it's in New Belgrade and for a downtown girl like me, I more enjoy my time in the old part of Belgrade.It can be nice to take a break there or to go on the Splav, but if you have just 2 or 3 day in Belgrade I suggest to go more in the Old part.Sometime, if you walk alone, the park around can be a little bite scary.

it's an amazing house! beautiful rooms, the terrace on the waterside is lovely...! the guy from the hostel was really nice, he almost told us the whole history of Beograd. good breakfast, good bathrooms,... very cool that you can borrow the bikes for free. I didn't had the feeling that they cleaned very well. the trashbins were overfloating, we didn't get clean sheets,...but that's really the only bad thing I can say. I surely would go there again!

I highly recommend this place. It is a little walk from the city centre, but the atmosphere on the river is great.

The setting for this hostel is beautiful. There is a simple bus you can get into the city near the hostel to see the sights and for night time the hostel is within walking distance of all the party boats which is very handy. We had a bad run in with some local Serbians which would have put a dampener on the trip if it wasn't for how kind and helpful the staff were about everything. Definitely go back. (PS if you get sea sick easily this is not for you)

We had a wonderful time at ArkaBarka. It's so beautiful, especially when you sit outside on the deck and look at the Danube. Plus, the staff is great, on your first morning you get a lot of custom-tailored tips on where to go and what to do.
