Lock in a great price for ArkaBarka Floating Hostel – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Ofcourse the actual hostel, on the river. It made it relaxing to sit and just exist. The very professional intruduction about Belgrad, the staff sat done with us and showed us where to go on maps

Astrid, Sweden

Best location and view, frendly staff, nearby park, free bikes, good wifi.

Adriana, Macedonia

* Location is far from the city center to walk - as I understand 15 minutes by bike, which is free at the hostel. Still, it's nice in the river and in the park, has good atmosphere and is easy to get to from the highway. * Nice to have dinner/beer/breakfast on the terrace in the river. They have craft beers at the bar. * Young and friendly people around - both staff and guests * Parking is easy at the park entrance near the bridge - 5-10 mins away

Elena, Bulgaria

The uniqueness of the hostel with it being on the river, the friendless and helpfulness of the staff, not in the hustle and bustle of the city, great atmosphere

Elly, United Kingdom

Loved everything about this place! Beds, showers, just perfect!

Gregg, Germany

Fabulous floating terrace, fantastic helpful staff and idyllic location. There was 24 hour service and everyone was friendly. The location was perfect - within easy reach of everything. Free bikes on a first come, first served basis was a nice addition as there are cycle paths along the Danube.

Hughes, United Kingdom

Location was just a few bus stops away from the center so less noise. The view was fantastic, just don't mind the smell of the river it sometimes produce. Staff were all very helpful.

Alyssa, Ireland

It was totally a new experience for me to being a guest in a floating hostel. Amazing view to do whatever you want, even sleep! (Think so).

David, Mexico

Great hostel for those people who enjoy peaceful atmosphere in the nature. The deck is a nice place to relax and watch beautiful views. Free breakfast is very diverse and delicious. The city centre is not far. The hostel's stuff is very friendly and helpful. Thanks.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Upon checkin, the staff was helpful showing around the hostel facilities and providing us with a map and information about the city. We got the bikes to use for the afternoon, so reaching the city centre was 15 min ride. The room was very small, but tidy, the shared bathroom was also OK for a hostel. The breakfast was nice with plenty of option, while looking at the river view.”

R Csenge

Hungary

“Perfect place with friendly staff. Everything was clean. Waking up on the river was the best!”

Esin

Germany

“Staff was extremely friendly and talkative, which for me is the corner stone of a good customer service experience. Their communication skills (especiallly English) was excellent, they helped with tips and maps and recommendations for Belgrade daily tours etc.. The location is marvelous ! You don't get to stay at a hostel floating in the middle of a lake every day!!! It was super peaceful and just NEW! The concept is super cool. And trust me I got one of the best sleeps I've ever had in my life. Totally recommend !!”

“Chill place with very nice breakfast included, professional staff and welcoming. View is relaxing.”

눉Location is 30 min walk along the river from center, but Before you find that out it can be a bit tricky to get there. (You take the citybus 78 or 83 from busstation and get of at Serbian Palace(if I remember correctly), then walk tomards river 600 meters) I Think the need to repair the "bridge" to enter the hostel, because it has some cracks in it

눉* It seems there are some sync problems with reservations as ours was somehow missed. Still, we were accommodated in similar if not better rooms. * There was smell from the air conditioner and I guess they just need to change the filters. The smell was too strong and we switched air conditioning off - too bad as it was August hot. This was a big disappointment. It was our second visit at the hostel and the first time there were no issues at all with either smell or cleanliness. If not for that, the rating might've been very near 10. * Music coming from city center discos over the river. Belgrade on a Friday night! :)
눇* Location is far from the city center to walk - as I understand 15 minutes by bike, which is free at the hostel. Still, it's nice in the river and in the park, has good atmosphere and is easy to get to from the highway. * Nice to have dinner/beer/breakfast on the terrace in the river.
