Everything was great. Željko and Sanja wife were always friendly and made me feel welcomed. The atmosphere was friendly and I can't find anything I disliked in this Hostel. Also toilets are very very clean, and you can have new clean towels whenever you want. Hostel is located in the city center but it was very quiet all along. I fully recommend it to everyone.

Žarko & Sanja made me feel very welcome, comfortable and remained friendly and helpful throughout my stay! I agree with previous comments about the good quality beds and also the location is ideal. I'd recommend this as a place to stay if you're travelling to Novi Sad. Thanks again and keep your positive attitude towards travellers guys!

Great hostel located just off one of the main streets, only a couple of minutes walk into the center. Sanja and Zarko were very welcoming and helpful. The bar downstairs was nearly always open but couldn't hear anything in the rooms. The room was clean, comfy beds with nice linens, and there were big individual lockers. Zarko went out of his way to arrange for me to visit the National Park with another guest one day, and had good recommendations for eating. I would definitely stay here again.

The hostel is located perfectly close to the city center, but in a quiet backstreet. The staff is amizingly friendly and helpful. They always asked whether we need something (always offering new towels, for instance), and they helped in any way they could. There is free wifi and no extra charges for anything (for instance, they do not charge for towels, linen etc.). Our romm (with ensuite bathroom) had a fridge and a TV. I will defenitely stay there again if I happen to be in Novi Sad again.

We had the nicest host in whole Serbia. He found us a great restaurant for dinner and a cosy café for breakfast. Thank you for the perfect stay. Whenever we're coming back to Novi Sad - we'll stay at Rookies' again.

This hostel has the nicest quality bed linens I have seen in 25 years of hosteling. I stay in many 1st class hotels in my work, and Rookies linens are equal to or superior to many of these hotels sheets. Great job guys.

Great hostel right at the center of the city. The staff is great and fun to go out with! The hostel bar is also great! The only minus comes with the lack of lockers in the rooms, but i did not have trouble with that since there was only one other person in the whole hostel! I will visit them again in my next serbian adventure!

The staff was amazing, made me feel completely at home and was very accommodating! Everything was brand new and super clean. They probably had the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in in a hostel!! Would definitely come back :)
