Liked: The staff were always there - and very helpful when I needed anything from them. The location was pretty good, about fifteen minutes from the city center by bus. There are also a lot of good places to get fast-food (Serbian fast-food, not American crap), and a few grocery stores. The massive Cathedral of Saint Sava is also relatively nearby - just a few stops on the same bus line that takes you to the city center. The computers in the lounge are very nice - and equipped with Windows 7 (I think? I'm not too familiar, might be Visa), with a few helpful programs pre-installed on each, including Firefox and Pidgin.

Disliked: The hostel is not cleaned well at all - the bathrooms and kitchen area are filthy. The bedrooms and lounge looked pretty decent, however. There is one tiny lounge used for smoking, internet use etc, and there are no windows to the outside in this area, so smoke gathers and lingers for hours, making it very difficult to breathe unless you are already planning to die of lung cancer. There are two bathrooms in the entire place unless you booked the private room. This is not so bad when there are a small amount of people in the hostel, but when it is at full capacity it's a complete nightmare. There is a TV left on with loud music playing on top of it at all times. Additionally, when there are any people talking in the lounge, they can be heard throughout the entire hostel because of its central location. No wireless, and the four computers set up in the lounge connected via Ethernet to the router can be a bit cramped considering how tiny the lounge is.

Liked: friendly staff

Disliked: Definitely a place for strong smokers. All rooms are cellar rooms.
