Super nice hostel, the kitchen does have nearly everything but it's SUPER small, and barely any light there.

Had a great stay. Plus points for the delicious breakfasts opportunity and the safety lock on the cabins in the room!! The rooms were small but had everything you needed. Could recommend the hostel, very close to the train/bus station, city center and right next to the metelkova community. Only downside for me was the airconditioning that seemed to still blow cold wind the whole night right onto my bed even though we had turned it off.
