Retro Hostel Shevchenko Reviews

I enjoyed staying in Shevchenko as always, but personally I miss some guy who had worked there before. Time is running... I'll be back.

Close to town, easy walking distance. Staff weren't very helpful when we arrived, didn't even tell us there was a lounge/chill out area, laundry or anything! Didn't know which floor our room was on either. Room was nice though, 3 bed deluxe private, had private bathroom and separate toilet and a little balcony (with no railings). Could see how in summer the place might be more exciting as the foyer area is huge with lots of couches. Very quiet in winter.

I recommend this hostel in 100%.

The best in town. And the cheapest as well. The staff is very friendly...... I will definately come back.... Mike (Denmark)

There was a nice friendly staff and helpfull for enought. Greatest location near the most must-see places and a lot of attractions! Clean comfortable rooms with the real fireplace :)

1. It's written that there is a breakfast BUT there is NO BREAKFAST 2. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR SAUNA AND JACUZZI 100 UAH/h 3. We got lost and almost missed our train following what girl on the reception told us, She recomended us to walk somewhere pretty far and take a tram from there to the main station, I told her that trams are not going cause of the renovation but she said that those were going and of course trams were NOT going. 4. They didn't update information about anything

The staff was friendly. Close to the center. Dark room.

Very nice hostel, Awesome friendly staff. There are shower and toilet inside every room. i had a greate time.

The personnel of the hostel was very friendly and helpful. But the nights are loud and disturbing because of the many school-groups, that flow into the hostel ! They should not offer that hostel for adults, when you are tired in the evening you can`t sleep here because of the tumultous noise ! Awful !

I had a great stay at the Retro Hostel. The staff is awesome, helpful and very friendly. The dorms have private bathrooms which makes it very convenient and comfortable. in addition, the location is perfect. Enjoy it!

We enjoyed the stay at the Shevchenko hostel very much. Thank you for giving us a great time in Lviv!

Direction for the hostel are very very BAD! you have to know that there are 2 Shevchenko roads! one is street and the other is prospekt (like avenue). The staff is not always useful. There are 3 girls, just the tall and blond one (SORRY I FORGOT HER NAME!!) is amazing! If you need something go to her!

perfect location directly in the city center, very nice cheerful staff - helpful when needed,know english well - what in Ukraine is not common; clean bed linens and towels, nice bathroon; small kitchen but usefull; good price; welcome beer to be taken from a reception :) I will definitely return there;

Thank you for your call for a taxi. I can really recomend this place. I ll be back!

If you look for a typical youth hostel, that's the place!

Great location. Good room with ensuite bathroom and TV (Ukrainian channels only). Very helpful receptionist who directed me to the coolest dinner experience of my trip (please ask about where to eat for the lowdown). Only one downside: older spring mattress was not my most comfortable sleeping experience.

My experience in this hotel wasn t very good : wet sheets, horrible matrasses, strange smell in the rooms, nothing to put the clothes on in the bathroom... Actually, only the location of the place was good!

Everything was very good, especially location - really close to Old Town and helpful and cheerful staff :]
