I spent an entire week at this hostel. The location on the Piata Mica could not be better. The hostel is cozy and the staff are outstanding; Diana, Claudia, Tibi & Wali all run very tight ship and do anything to make you feel at home. Free wifi, complimentary coffee are a plus too. Definitely recommended and definitely will come back to this place. Marc

The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Everyone at Old Town Hostel while I was there liked it so much that they hung out there together all morning and in the evening as well. I was offered food, drink, computer usage, and good conversation. It would be great if there were more bathrooms, of course... But because the atmosphere is so chill and cozy, everyone was willing to sit around and enjoy themselves whilst waiting a few minutes for that warm shower :) Great location!

Great location but not very lively. You have to walk through the 4 bed dorm and past the private room to get to the 8 bed dorm and there is only 1 toilet/shower/sink combined for the whole hostel. Good kitchen.

Thank you for your review! We are very sorry that your stay here wasn't as pleasant as possible. To answer to your complaints, we have to specify that the building of the hostel is 450 years old, so that the structure of the rooms is given by the original architectural plan. Moreover, there are 3 bathrooms in the hostel, one for each of the 3 rooms, and we also have a bathroom that can be used in case of emergency. Once again, we appreciate the time you offered to writing about us.

Hostel has very good location in the old city centre.It looks fine, staff was helpful, everything was ok. But there is ONLY ONE toilet toghether with shower in miniroom without window, so be prepared for queue for the toliet and shower. And this mini bathroom is accessible only from kitchen, that is very bad because of smell and hygiene. It is not acceptabel for me to have just one bathroom for 20+ people. Also cleanlinness in bathroom was not so high.
