Chernivtsi Backpackers

TIU Backpackers' are an English and Ukrainian owned and run chain that means you get the friendly helpful service that only Ukrainians can give but with the efficiency, safety and quality control of western management.

* Please, note that you need to contact the property before you arrive and inform them about your arrival time as the hostel is not managed 24 hours so please call, SMS or e-mail to let the property know.

Chernivtsi is architecturally a very beautiful 600 year old city in the Western Ukraine close to the Romanian and Moldovan borders. Steeped in history, the city is known for the University building and the huge outdoor Kalinevsky Market.

Once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, {with many buildings reflecting this}, it is a perfect base from which to explore the parts of Western Ukraine not usually visited by foreign tourists.
We were the first hostel in Chernivtsi and live here, so we are happy to share our experiences and do what we can to ensure you have a great time while you are here, away from the more expensive destinations like Lviv, Odessa and Kiev.

TIU ia an English / Ukrainian venture small enough to offer a friendly, personal touch with European style quality control and management. Chernivtsi is well known for it architecture and academic centres.....the University, International Medical Academy and National
Music Academy, so there are many young people here which gives the city 'a life of its own', but with a slow 'pace of life' that is so relaxed and noticeable from other larger, busier cities.
So, if you want your stay to have a party flavour you can visit one of the many Nightclubs here....or if you just want to relax on one of the 5 Squares in the centre and have a coffee, beer or something to eat.....it is all possible.....and all within easy reach.

SO.... HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON GUYS !!!
