First of all this hotel , yes this is a 3,5 star hotel in all aspects , is making a grave mistake. It lets dirty cheapy arrogant backpackers and cyclists in for 10 euros only with all the negative consequences. Tip for Xristo. Make the 5 bed a 3 bed and charge double, its worth it! Staff: of very high level for BG standards expect for the Moldovan girl who was rude to a customer twice her age. Cleanliness is excellent. Location : for Kings! Tip for Xristo number 2: Repair wooden stairs ASAP. Its such a shame that mouldy cold "hostels" with greedy , stingy owners in the dirty and noisy downtown charge as much money as this beauty which travels you back in time for free almost! Thanks for wonderful hospitality my friends. Will be back. Spiro Greece
We stayed in only one night, but we were enchanted by the house and the furniture. It's an old house, built in 1868 and you can feel the old times when there. The lady on the reception, who was there in the morning was very nice, smiling and helpful. The breakfast was OK.
Excellent location, excellent value, quaint hostel. I drove, so I was in need of parking spots, which were at the hostel, free of charge. There are "ruins" in the courtyard, and even into dining area, which make for a nice experience. Breakfast was included, which was a large continental meal, more than I wanted or expected. Stand-out feature for me was the personal greetings to everyone who checked in on a given day.
Back in 2014 it was named one of the top best Hostels in the world. I think is still stuck in a time warp and living on past glories, Checking process was smooth and initial information was ok, Bed and room location was good. the showers and toilets were clean. Coffee machine needs replacing has seen better days. towels provided. Limited Bathroom and showers available. staff eager to please but limited knowledge of basic things like transportation or where to go etc.. Overall was good value, breakfast and towels included. but there were limitations and had hoped for more based on its reputation.
The energy of this house was amazing! I know it used to be in a very bad shape but the owners restored it and kept what they could so we had modern accommodations and the feeling of being in the past all at once! They offer three breakfast options - regular, vegetarian and vegan, are very nice and helpful and you feel as though you are staying with relatives.
