    There was nothing to complain about :)

    Although we arrived very late, the host was super nice receiving us and additionally had a really nice music choice :) the breakfast together with the view on the terrace were really enjoyable and the whole living room area is very comfy as well as our room which was the smallest, but very cozy!. We could even store our luggage until the evening at the day of our departure.

    There were a few harmless to humans tree bugs in the room. Not critical, but for someone may cause discomfort.

    It's a charming beautiful place. Very responsive staff. We stayed one night in a private room. The room and common areas were clean and warm. The wifi worked well. Simple but delicious breakfast with a great view. Close to a large park, shopping center, bus stops. We walked to the center via the promenade and bridge (about 3 km). The room and services fully correspond to the description and photos.

    We couldn't get the heating function to work well on the A/C. A communal kettle in the lounge would be good too. Lights could be brighter and having a personal lamp in the nook. Having access to a communal mini cooking station or a microwave would be a bonus.

    We liked the view. The room was small but cosy. Access to the sauna was appreciated. Appreciate that we can leave our luggage for when we return.

    There was a bit of hand rail missing from the jetty walkway - it was quite steep and not very well lit at night.

    It was a quirky place, just what we like.

    A lovely, comfortable little hostel in a beautiful place by the river
    • Leisure trip

    No problems at all with Arka Barka but useful info is that it's easy to find the hostel but don't rely on Google map's directions (a problem with all Google maps in Belgrade it seems). It's not easy to get taxis to pick up there using taxi apps but a nice guy from the hostel (sorry I forgot his name) saved me by booking a Pink Taxi to the airport and giving me super clear instructions how to get picked up!!

    A very nice, varied breakfast with sweet and savoury options. The setting by the river is beautiful and the decor and comfort were both great! I felt relaxed and welcomed as soon as I stepped through the door.

    I have travelled quite a few times this year to different countries for work and I can say that this hotel has been the most enjoyable experience of all! Taking breakfast literally perched on the river, watching the mallards and swans, set my mood for the day, and I attended my conference energised. I also had a free day at the end during which I took a sauna (included with the price) that further boosted my good feel. The staff were very helpful and accommodating and they have a 24 hours front desk. The hostel is some half an hour's walking distance to the centre, mostly a pleasant walk through the park. You can of course take a bus just outside the hostel if walking is not for you. Just a 5-minute walk away there is bus no. 72 that takes you to the airport for 1 Euro! My room was basic and overlooks the park, but there are different combinations, including a balcony facing the river. By the way, the coffee in the lobby is pretty good :)!

    Didn`t quite understand the situation when we asked the receptionist if they have fried eggs for breakfast (while she was making some kind of omelet), she answered no, and after a while she served it to the men next to us. Were they vip-guests?

    I have no words to describe that beautiful view we had. Hostel is located in park zone, so it is calm and quiet. 1 km away it is a public parking, good chance to have a walk.

    We had an absolutely amazing time! The breakfast was yummy, the whole place has a super cool, ladiback ang overall good vibe energy. If you want a place that is not strickt in the city center and that is filled With cool people and peace plus nature just at the Dunaj - then its a place for you. During our stay a wedding was thrown here which just made the whole experience even more fun. The stuff is cool, helpful and social, we had a Great time with Milos and Aleksandar talking about Serbian history and culture. I'd love to Come back here. Absolutely superb backpacking vibe and stay!🧜‍♀️☀️thank you guys 🎉❤️

    The wooden floor is noisy.

    Although not so close to city center nor the main points of interest, the location by the river makes it very special if you like this kind of atmosphere. Park and shopping mall at walking distance. Simple but good breakfast.
