Tomasz Poland

Owner, Marisa received us and showed us around her lovely place. Bedroom and beds very well presented.

Carla United Kingdom

Staying in Faroway Hostel was surprisingly nice experience! Firstly, its location is superb and we were able to check-in even before check-in time, which was super convenient for us. Also we were lucky that there were not many guests staying in hostel at the same time as us, therefore we felt like having private bathroom instead of shared one. Moreover possibility of using shared kitchen and rooftop terrase was great!

Anna Czech Republic

Marisa the owner was extremely welcoming, location is excellent, the atmosphere in the terrace is amazing and overall very good value for money
