I loved it! A very good, nice and clean hostel, with a really nice staff :) it's a little bit out of the centre, but for us it was no problem at all.

A really great place to stay. The staff was super super super friendly. My only qualm with this place, and it's not even that big of a deal is the location. It's not super super close to the city center but it's not far. This place is perfect though. I highly recommend this place.

What I loved about Hostel Costel? The beautiful villa with character, helpful staff - very unique people, the special beer you can buy, the free "palinca" shot+free dinner on Sundays, cozy-spacious rooms, warm and friendly atmosphere, the chill area where the magic happens (examples would be spontaneous music jams or chess marathons!). And many many more you can discover once you get there.

Really loved it! The staff really makes you feel like home, when you arrive you get your own slippers and shot of "palinka" and on Sundays they offer really tasty home cooked free dinners. Also liked the decorations... everyday you discover another nice detail somewhere. I'll surely be back in summer to check the terrace and the garden - you should check it too if you stop by in Timisoara!

When you're staying at Hostel Costel, you'll feel like home. Put some comfy slippers on, enjoy a coffee in the kitchen, pet Bronco and have a conversation with the owners of other guests. You'll probably stay longer as planned, but no worries: the hostel is just a couple of min. from the centre and there are plenty of things to do in Timisoara. The owners and staff are very helpfull and have the right attitude: they try to make your stay as pleasant as possible and created a great atmosphere.
