    We had a fantastic stay at a modern hostel in a prime location. The beds were incredibly comfortable, with each one equipped with its own socket for convenience. The hostel was clean and had plenty of showers for all guests. The Wi-Fi, although occasionally slow, was generally good. The atmosphere was great, with the hostel organizing tours and creating a friendly environment. Additionally, the location was superb, with a parking lot available for those traveling by car. The hostel also had a good deal on parking. I highly recommend this hostel for its comfortable beds, cleanliness, and great atmosphere.

    I had a great experience staying at a centrally located hostel. the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, providing me with all the information I needed. the rooms were clean and comfortable, with new linens and mattresses that ensured a good night's sleep. the shared bathrooms were well-maintained and always clean. the hostel offered a complimentary breakfast with a variety of options, including bread, eggs, cereals, and more.

    The lack of blackout curtains in some rooms, which could affect privacy and make it harder to sleep in if the sun shines directly into the room.

    Great value for money, excellent location in the heart of the city, and friendly staff. The rooms were comfortable, and the private bathroom was a plus. The hostel also offers an airport transfer, making it convenient for travelers. The themed decoration added a unique touch to the atmosphere.

    The wifi was unreliable, with poor connectivity in the dorm room and sometimes difficult to access in common areas. The showers required constant pressing of a button, which was inconvenient.

    The location of the hostel was perfect, right in the heart of the city. The beds were comfortable with individual lights and big lockers. The kitchen was well equipped and they even offered free coffee and tea. The staff was friendly and provided helpful information about bus timetables and free tours. I had a great stay at this centrally-located hostel.

    I highly recommend this hostel for solo travelers. Despite a minor inconvenience of having to ring the doorbell to enter, everything else exceeded my expectations.

    I had an amazing stay at this hostel in the heart of the city. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed like family by the staff, especially Šejla and her team. The rooms were well-designed and spotlessly clean, and the atmosphere felt just like home. The breakfast spread was plentiful, with a variety of breads, cheese, eggs, tea, and coffee. Plus, the cleaning staff did an impeccable job throughout my stay. I also loved how friendly and fun-loving the staff were, and if you're lucky enough to befriend them, they even cook great meals. my experience at Hostel Franz Ferdinand was truly unforgettable.

    It was all superb! 🌟

    During our stay at this hostel, we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with delicious omelettes made by the friendly lady. The location was amazing, and we were provided with clean linen, towels, and a hairdryer. The staff, especially Alisa, went above and beyond to assist us, even helping to arrange transportation. The atmosphere felt safe and relaxed, and the interior design was cool. I highly recommend this hostel for a fantastic stay.
