They did not so much hot water and the location was hard to find because they do not have a sign at the last corner. Other than that, good place to stay.

Gyoko and Nino could not be more welcoming, helpful, and fun!! Breakfast was always delicious and the rooms are nice with good sized lockers and well-working heaters in the winter. There's a big kitchen and a cozy indoor common room with 2 computers available and always a good soccer match on TV. Even in November, Ohrid is beautiful and interesting, and a great place to explore and relax. Thanks so much for a lovely time!!

Excellent staff, very kind, friendly and helpful. The hostel has a great chill-out vibe with nice rooftop views. Be careful though, this place is like a vortex and it is easy to stay much longer than planned.

This is a really nice hostel and close to everything. I would stay here again. Nice comfy beds and good heaters. The only problem was the ice cold shower at 8:30 AM. The hostel wasn't full so I was surprised that there was no hot water. But otherwise it was a great stay and they were there to let me check in at 1 AM after my bus from Albania.

Nice place to stay. Very quiet at this time of year though. Staff were really nice. Directions on Hostel World need to be updated though as it was very hard to find, and others staying had had similar difficulties.

A great place to stay, right in the middle of Ohrid. Helpful staff, nice and clean. It was fairly empty when I got there as it was the off-season, but I was made very welcome. Thanks for the great stay!

CLEANLINESS, CLOSE TO WATER AND SHOPPING. IN 600 YEAR OLD TOWN ON THE SLOPE OF A MOUNTAIN. BEST CONSTRUCTED BEDS I HAVE SEE.TERRIFIC RENOVATON OF AN OLD STRUCTURE. VIEW OF LAKE ON TOP FLOOR LOUNGE. INTELLIGENT YOUNG LOCAL QWNERS. LOTS OF FREE EGGS, COFFEE, AND BREAD, PLUS JAM. THIS HOSTEL IS IN MY TOP FIVE OF ALL THE WORLD.

The BEST hostel I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in tons. I arrived for 1 night but have extended it to five. The atmosphere is chilled, friendly and warm and the staff are extremely welcoming and will do anything to help you in anyway they can. It is more like staying with family and the hostel feels like a home from home. A clean, relaxed, comfortable, centrally located hostel with more character than Chuck Norris. If you don't enjoy this hostel then the problem is with you. 12/10
