Reviews
Thanks to the hostel owners, I loved everything!
I personally had trouble sleeping, but they were interested in it and tried to improve it in every way possible. They asked me directly and generally monitored my condition (I suffer from insomnia myself, so it's hard for me to judge ~ although on the last day (I stayed for a week), I encountered a newly arrived person begging one of the guests for naswar at 5 AM. "Brother, give me some naswar, I'll chill out and fall asleep. You have a whole box of naswar, I had a fight with the guys, my head is in turmoil, give me some naswar, I'll chill out and fall asleep," etc. I don't know how common this is, but overall, the place doesn't feel marginal and has all the amenities and a relaxed atmosphere.
Overall, my impression was positive, and the place itself feels like a local club from Cyberpunk 2077, located under the building of a large corporation with interesting and uniquely friendly people. It's not suitable for a family holiday, but for a short-term stay or even a permanent one (as happened with some residents), it's quite suitable.
I don’t understand why he displeased people who rated below 4 stars, apparently competitors who are not able to compete with a hostel of that level.
