Great location, everything was really clean, new and modern. Common room was a great place to chill, bar and cafe area is too expensive for what you get, don´t bother. Rooms have air con and have fans which is great as the rooms were really cool- best nights sleep in ages. Locker system they have is stupid, they are cupboards under the bed some are broken. Can´t get into them properly. Good hostel overall. Don´t hire bikes from here, ours were unsafe and rubbish. Go elsewhere for better deal.

Dear client, Thank you very much for your comment. Thank you for recommendations and for saying that your overall stay is good. About the bar that we have-it is the cheapest in the area. Bike rental is also the cheapest, and you get a locker with your bike, so it is quite safe. Best regards, Ivan The River Hostel

Misunderstanding with rooms, thought we were getting a better room than we did. Staff upgraded us for free which was nice of them. Rooms are too bad for a long stay, we stayed 5 nights and was near unbearable. No windows, too small, extremely hot, dingey. Staff are lovely. Kitchen is tiny but seemed a little dirty, no area to relax and rooms are too small to spend time in. ensuite bathrooms don´t have doors, tiny outside area. Not great location, stay somewhere better.

Camping Rialto, Venice, Italy

22nd Jul 2015

Ok location, just get a bus onto Venice island. Staff are rude as hell, our tent broke and they acted like it was our fault. Food is pretty disgusting and pizzas were burnt. Shop is ridiculously expensive and we saw them fill the shelves with Lidl products from across the street. No atmosphere, nothing to do in evening. Not enough facilities for everyone, no kitchen, tents too hot and the lock easily comes off tent. Toilet roll not included, you have to buy it, no free wifi. Disgusting place.

good location. The tents are really hot, Some are in the shade, some aren't so don't bank on getting the best nights sleep. So many bugs, we got bitten so much. Washing and toilet facilities are quite poor, not really enough to accommodate everyone and they weren't the cleanest. No real atmosphere on the terrace and not much to do in the evening. No kitchen. Food was ok, prices a little steep, ok for italy. Average place, not as good as the other location in Rome.

PLUS Camping Tiber, Rome, Italy

18th Jul 2015

It takes around 50 mins- at least, to get back to this campsite. It takes two long metro rides, plus their own shuttle bus which is every 30 mins. The campsite is really nice; the atmosphere is good, pool is great and the restaurant has fab food for cheap prices compared to Rome itself. We stayed in one of the campsite's small caravans, which were actually really good. The beds were very comfy and we got an ensuite bathroom, all for a great price. quite hot, but soon cool down. Great place

Thank you for your comment. It normally takes 25 minutes from the Centre of Rome to Prima Porta, unfortunately there has recently been a public transport strike, so we think this is the reason it took 50 minutes to get back to the Campiste. We are glad everything was fine with your stay hopefully you can come back again soon. Kind regards

Fabric Hostel & Club, Naples, Italy

15th Jul 2015

First of all, this hostel is in Portici and not Naples itself, but don't let that put you off. It's a great area and there are good and cheap transport links if you want to spend time in Naples itself. It is also really close to Pompeii, Vesuvius and Sorrento. Clean, modern, good and cheap bar area, kitchen and bathrooms are fine. Outdoor area is nuce, staff were friendly enough. Really hot rooms though and the fans don´t work too well, it desperately needs air con. Great value for money

Fantastic location in a lovely building. The hostel was really clean, and the staff were nice enough too. The kitchen was really big and had all necessary facilities. The outside area was really cool too. On one of the nights we were staying there a live band were playing and they were amazing. The bar was filled with lots of locals so it was great hanging out with people actually from the place; everyone was dancing, having a great time and the drinks were pretty cheap too. best hostel!

The kitchen is mouldy everywhere, the floor is sticky, there was no clean cutlery, utensils, plates, nothing really; so we didn't cook for our entire stay. The dorm in the basement stunk, it was really dingey, humid and was unclean. The main problem with our room was t it was directly off the common room. There were meant to be 'silent hours' in the hostel, so .This was not enforced in the slightest. No security at all as all keys fit all doors so anybody could go in and steal your stuff.

The rooms were really nice, if a bit hot. We had a fan but it didn' t really work that well. Had an ensuite bathroom which wasn' t the best when there is six people staying in one dorm. Not enough facilites for everyone and there isn' t enough space in common areas for everyone to sit down and relax. Overall was a pleasant stay, in an unusual building, very modern, very clean and good value for money in Vienna. Would reccomend and stay again.

No free bikes or washing machine like stated when we booked the hostel which was the reason we booked in the first place. Average hostel, great location. Clean and modern. We booked to stay in a 7 bed dorm, but our room was a 2 bed cupboard off a 5 bed dorm. It was tiny, no room to put bags and was mouldy. Kitchen is not big enough we had tio wait nearly 4 hours to cook as it was so full. Common room shuts at 10 so can´t socialise and have to go out or to bed. Hostel down the road seems better.

This hostel was one of the nicest I have stayed in, really well decorated and really modern. Has all the facilities you need. Bedrooms and bathrooms were really clean. Friendly and helpful staff, when we arrived they told us they had double booked the dorm we were meant to be staying in, so we got to stay in a private room for our entire stay which was really nice of them. Great terrace area, free wifi but did not work at all the entire time we were there which was quite annoying.

short walk from the train station but about 20 minute walk from Dubrovnik old town. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by Nako and his family and they were all really lovely. He sat us down straight away and told us how to get to the old town, where the transport links were, best beaches, best food, best bars; we could not have gotten around without his excellent advice.Our room was nice, . We had a really large double bed, but there was lots of ants which wouldn´t stop biting us.

Great location, just a short walk to the main square and attractions of Zagreb. Modern hostel and everything is in immaculate condition. Stayed in a large dorm and each bed had a power socket nearby which is always really handy, wifi had good signal. The bar area was great, cheap drinks and comfy place to socialise. Kitchen area was tidy and had everything you could need. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Was not a huge fan of Zagreb in general but would definitely stay here again

Great location, just a few stops away on the metro from the main centre and is such a unique building. The whole hostel is handmade, there is something interesting to look at wherever you turn. The staff have turned everything into art and its such a fantastic place to stay. I stayed in a four bed room which absolutely fantastic as we got our own suite for not much more money. We had our own mini kitchen, bath and shower room which was great as the hostel is really popular so can get busy.

Great location, just a short, cheap bus ride away from the bus station and has an entrance to the national park literally across the road and has a mini market across the road for all essentials. The staff are so lovely and because they live there too they become like family during your stay. The hostel is in a lovely little wooden cabin and is really cosy and comfortable. The common space is big enough for everyone to spend time in and everyone staying in the hostel spends all their time there

If you're going to Krakow to experience the nightlife and just want a great central location and wont be spending much time in the hostel, then this is the one for you!! The location couldn't really get much better. The hostel is really dingy, dark and quite hot, although they do have air conditioning. The kitchen facilities and shower facilities are average and what you would expect for a standard hostel, nothing really fantastic. Free breakfast is included in the price which was really good

Good location, a short tram ride away from the main train station and is only a walk away from the old town The staff were excellent, they gave us recommendations as to where to go and even taught us a few polish phrases we could use. The common areas are really nicebut isn't really that great for meeting and chatting to people though. The rooms are average, very clean, spacious, good sized lockers, nothing special but you get what you pay for.

One of the best places I've ever stayed! Great staff help you out with anything very trusting also. Value for money is excellent and full kitchen is available to use along with the communual area. Only 7 mins on the tram from alexanderplatz super easy to find. Would reccomend hiring the bikes as berlin is well equipped for this !

Great location of hostel staff couldn't be friendlier. Low security rating as you have no lock to the room only paper slip to show staff. However no entry without them buzzing you in so not too bad. Great value for money you can see the station from the smoking room!
