Reviews of Stone City Hostel

Frank
The balcony/patio was an absolute dream, providing a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering interesting local anecdotes during the tour. The location of the hostel was great, just a short walk from the restaurants and museums in the old town.
The lack of an additional toilet was a bit inconvenient as it often felt crowded with only two available. It would have been nice to have the option to turn off the air conditioning at night because it got freezing cold.

The hotel breakfast menu could have been better with a wider variety of options.

I had an amazing time at a charming hostel in a historic building. The owner, Walter, took the time to chat with me about the city's history. The house has been beautifully restored with all the modern comforts I needed. It's centrally located, and the staff provided great recommendations for food and attractions. The breakfast was delicious, and the bathroom was spotless. I highly recommend this hostel.

I had an amazing stay at a cozy hostel in the heart of the old town. The hostel owner, who had great local knowledge, gave me a clear and interesting description of the area. I felt welcomed and immediately started making friends with other travelers. The atmosphere was friendly and the location was perfect for exploring the sights on foot. The staff happily provided recommendations for places to visit and even organized a fantastic guided hiking tour. Despite a slight odor in the room and a small discrepancy in payment, I still can say that I highly recommend this hostel. it was a wonderful experience.

Great experience! This hostel is located near the city center with plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful, offering advice and organizing tours for guests. Facilities are clean and well-maintained - the beds are comfy and the bathrooms are dreamy. Breakfast is delicious and freshly prepared daily. Socializing is easy with communal areas and games available. A must-stay for solo travelers looking to make new friends.
Some shared rooms can be noisy with guests coming in late at night.

We had an amazing time at this hostel! The staff was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable about the city, providing us with maps and leaflets. We loved the beautifully decorated house with a lovely garden to relax in. The breakfast was delicious and served on a long table which made it easy to socialize with other guests. This hotel had great facilities such as air conditioning and individual lighting and sockets for each bed. the location was perfect as it was in the middle of the old town and just a short walk from the bus station.
Nothing, it is perfect!

Absolutely adored the lovely view from the room which was clean and cozy with a comfy bed that I couldn't complain about, also the fresh breeze from the patio was marvellous. The location of the hostel was just perfect, walking distance to the bazaar and to some nice eateries. Breakfast was great, that was a super cozy and friendly opportunity to get to know the other guests from around the world. I loved the free walking tours and the friendly owners too, they made my stay extra special.
The street to the hostel is a bit rotten, so be wary that it’s a hassle if you come with a trolley or suitcase with wheels. It was a little bit uncomfortable sleeping through the night, so better get a fan if you're planning to visit the city during the summer months.

I had an amazing stay at this cozy hostel. The room was beautifully decorated with personal touches and the bed was extremely comfortable. The hostel had a great vibe and the hosts, Brenna and Walt, were amazing. They provided helpful recommendations and were always available to assist us. The location was perfect, allowing us to easily explore the shops, restaurants, and sights in the old town.
