Excellent hostel! Very cosy. There is a cat in the hostel. I find it great, though some guests may dislike it.

Very nice hostel! Location is quite good (5-10 minutes walk from main square), staff is very friendly and helpful and the there is a small common room, a kitchen and a balcony to hang out. The only disadvantage was the noise of the doorbell that we heard every time somebody entered the hostel (we had the double bed room, which is next to the front door)

Lived up to my expectations. Nice character that make you feel at home. Nothing to fault really, but the ventilation in the main dorm room was poor. Every morning the room smelt really bad, because of the stench of other guests couldn't find it's way out. Also, is there any reason to turn on the radiator in March? I can believe you need a heater when it's minus 20 outside, but c'mon this was March with 13 degrees. What are you? Eskimos? It was hard to fall asleep because of that.

Very nice hostel. Good atmosphere and a cool half-tail cat. It has just the right combination of feeling at home but also feeling taken care of. Clean, comfortable, and only a ten minute walk to the center. Most of the staff are quite charming and can be really helpful. It would be better for some of the staff to keep their personal lives out of the workplace; especially if it leads them to become emotional toward guests or dominate the common-room all day with too many of their friends.

The location is not the best in Lviv, 10 min walk from the center. But I'll choose this small hostel next time!! It was a little bit lonely with few guests because Feburary, but atomosphere was so cozy and stuffs were so kind. Kitchen facilities are not excellent, but enough. (with 2 electric tables, pans and pots, fridge and salt) If you need computer facility, I have to point out that they have a public free computer, but there is no chair.

To take a shower is a huge problem, really pity! Especially coz a typical hostel visitor needs shower for sure! But in that hostel you might be badly surprised by having nor hot or cold water at all! :/

An excellent hostel! Clean, very well decorated in the traditional style. Coffee and tea are provided. The staff is very helpful. There\'s also a nice hostel cat, that came in through the window at night and slept with me (be careful!:) The only problem for somebody can be that both shower stalls are in the same room (still it wasn\'t a problem for us). I strongly recommend it.

Fairly good small hostel. Can't say I could feel the backpackers vibe, but the place has everything you really need. Don't expect hard partying here, they have some weird rules: no drinks in the common room, no hard liquor in the whole hostel.

The people here are awesome, they make everybody feels welcome. I would definitely recommend this hostel. P.S. The cat Bucks is a STAR :)
