Headed to Belgrade for a weekend trip from the States and booked with Arkabarka after finding it online. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. The place is very cool and the location is great! Our room was very clean and hanging out for a drink in the lounge/bar area after arriving was a great way to kick off... More

We stayed on Arkabarka with a mixed choir (age 20-60) of 28, from Offenbach/Germany, for 7 days in October 2011. We occupied the entire hostel at a very decent per diem rate. The restaurant with its glass front to the river became our rehearsing room. Manager and staff did whatever was needed to meet our (sometimes rather particular) needs. We... More

I travelled alone and the staff took care of me and made me feel at home. The hostel is very clean, the sheets are colourful and the common area is cozy with a relaxed atmosphere. It is on water, but there were no mosquitoes in the room! Besides they have bikes which you can borrow for free. Busses to the... More

Very cheerful, clean, well-organised, and different from other accommodation types! Staying on this floating hostel on the Danube is a marvellous idea, but be sure to book way ahead! More

We found about this hostel over the internet, months before coming to Belgrade. We arrived on Christmas eve, it was a rather cold night and the guy in the reception offered us a drink, which was quite cool. We chatted with him. Our room was delightful, small, with view on the river, as the hostel is floating, and cosy. Next... More

We travelled to Belgrade for the second time, and as we where taking a lesurely stroll along the river we stumbled across Arkabarka hostell. We thought we'd go and check it out, we were welcomed by the friendly staff who where quick to offer us a cold beer, (most welcome on a very hot day!). We went and sat out... More

ArkaBarka Hostel is a great idea that hasn't quite materialised yet. The hostel itself is a floating house on the outskirts of Belgrade. It is not easy to get to if you are travelling by public transport- you have to take a circuitous bus which drops you far from the river, not ideal if you're carrying heavy bags. It's worth... More

We stayed here in May 2009, and loved it! The only bad (ish) thing I can say about this place is that there is no sign on the path, or even any address number, so after a long drive, it was also a long search for us to find the right place (if you aren't from Belgrade, the address could... More

In the middle of a lovely park full of walking, running and cycling routes, just a 10 minutes trip by bus to the centre of the city, you will be astonished by this hostel floating on the Danube river. Great guys from the staff, great music all day long, awesome view, peaceful and quiet place. I really felt like at... More
