Great hostel with a very friendly atmosphere. We lived in a 6-bed room. Clean, comfortable, well thought out. The kitchen, as a public space, created a mood. It is convenient to have a snack, to cook something. Kitty Mishka is just some kind of miracle! I especially want to note the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness. The hostel itself is located in the center. Very convenient location to all the attractions of the city.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
