The lounge and deck was awesome. Great place to sit and have a drink on the water. Walking distance to great restaurants also on the river. Excellent views from the room. Located right in Friendship park which has playgrounds, outdoor gym, and national points of interest.

Great location on the river with a gorgeous view of the fortress and old town Belgrade. Fun, trendy little hostel with cozy rooms overlooking the river. Simple but adequate breakfast and super, super friendly and helpful staff! It's a hostel, so don't expect bells and whistles (no parking, a bit noisy), but a great and affordable little place to stay and explore Belgrade!

Room was too small and bathroom was inside the room. Its hard to shower and use toilet while there are other people in the room. And the lady receptionist was speaking too loud and she never stopped talking. I wanted to rest at the lobby but couldnt because of her.

“A truly different and pleasant stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 5 nights
The shared bathroom could use much more and regular cleaning. Everything looks a bit run down in general, but for now, this makes part of the charm. The walls are very thin, but luckily, the other guests were mostly quiet.
The whole houseboat thing! Having (good) breakfast right on the Danube river was spectacular and never got old. It's true that the place is a little off the center and reachable only by foot, but in turn you get a nice surrounding area and a water promenade at your doorstep. What I liked in particular was the soft shaking of my bed when a large boat passed by (perhaps once a day).

The hostel itself is amazing. Beautiful rooms, even though I was in a dormitory. The staff was very friendly and always available to answer all your questions. The breakfast in the morning is nice, including the view. It is a little bit distant from the city centre, but I liked to have my 20 mins walk in the morning and on the way back; otherwise, there are always buses available.

The floating hostel is a little bit far from the parking place, but not that badly.
The hostel is very cozy and has a nice interior with a good view over the river. Also the staff is very kindly: Alexander took me after working time to the city center to let me taste some nice local bars. Also the possibility for a hour of meditation was really nice.

The location is great, but maybe not ideal for families with children. The room was very small and we had some issues with the mosquitoes. Also, the hostel is within a park and could not be accessed directly by car. We had to carry our luggage from across the street (government parking). This is where we also left the car during the night.
The staff is great and very helpful. They offered us free drinks on arrival. The deck has an amazing view and the park around the hostel is very nice. The breakfast was also good and varied.
