Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location in Rijeka’s old part of the city, with Cafe’s out the front door. The apartment was excellent, clean, and well equiped. Good bathroom and comfortable bed. The host was ver helpful and check-in was easy. Very close to an underground public car park plus other cheaper public car park options. Highly recommend the apartment.

    Location is just great. Nearby is good bakery with morning coffee. 25-30 min by foot to one of the beaches. Nearby is bus stop to go by bus to Opatija and Lovran or other beaches in Rijeka. Quite close to Bus/Trains stations (20-25 minutes walk). Good communication with administator. Quite good self-managed organization of hostel life. Seemed to be a safe place for girls to travel and stay the night.

    The vibes in the hostel are super good! The staff is the nicest, especially Nenad, a great gentle giant who should need a pay raise. It is normal to get to meet new people and start chatting with everybody. The kitchen is clean and there is everything if you wanna cook your favorite meal. The toilets were clean enough. The location is super good, close to the best beaches in town and close to all the main services you can look for.

    We ended up here quite by accident, as a two night get away from inadvertently booking ourselves into a grim youth hostel in Zagreb. Trying desperately to make the best of a bad situation, we booked this on a whim. This is a beautiful building in a great location. The owner is knowledgeable, attentive, responsive and helpful. The apartment is tastefully furnished with everything you could want. The air conditioning was delicious to come back to after a hot day of exploring. It was perfect for the couple of days of respite we needed.
