Enjoyed my overnight stay

The hostel is generally well maintained and kept clean, nice decor in the communal area. Location is perfect, bus 72 which goes to the airport is literally few mins walk away

Temperature could be a little warmer in the room.

Will definitely return!

Very warm atmosphere, felt just like home. The kitchen has everything you need. There's a supermarket nearby. Just 3 minutes away from the bus-stop of bus #72 to the airport. Very close to all main places of interest. Safe and quiet neighborhood. The beds are very comfortable, with plugs and light. Everything is very clean. There's also a laundry service for a fee.

Great for short stays. The hostel has a really chill and fun common area.

Had a nice stay here

It’s very centric, the place is always clean and the bed is already made up for you. They have a lot of group activities wich are perfect to help a solo traveler enjoy the Serbian culture while at the same time making friends. The staff is friendly and professional. They speak english. The prices of the accomodation is similar to most places near although in my opinion this place offers a lot more.

I had a comfortable, fun, and hassle-free stay that truly felt like a home away from home.

I stayed at Balkan Soul Hostel for 10 days and had an amazing experience. The entire team was incredibly helpful and welcoming. The location is perfect — so central that even though public transportation is free, I never felt the need to use it. The bathrooms were always very clean, and as someone who works remotely, having reliable internet is essential for me. I never had any issues during my stay. Another thing I loved is that the hostel has events every single day of the week, so there’s never a dull evening. Highly recommended!

As for things I didn’t like — honestly, I didn’t encounter any real issues. But if I have to mention something, I’d say they could definitely use one more fridge. When everyone tries to fit their food in, you sometimes end up playing a bit of Tetris. :D

A truly great hostel.

The hostel is very homey and comfortable. It is very sociable but it is by no means a party hostel. The positive vibes there are very much due to the wonderful care and hard work of the staff and owner. The location is perfect.

BEST BALKAN HOSTEL!

AMAZING!! Best hostel I've stayed at, great social vibes & perfect location, very central and walking distance to city centre, republic square and bus stops; plus great restaurants, cafes, supermarket just a few feet away. Carla sings like a Mexican angel, Veronica, Sofia, Jacob really makes everyone feel happy & welcomed, genuinely friendly people!!! Enough toilets, comfortable beds, spacious dorms, well equipped kitchen, social events every night... what more is needed! Say hello to Meg - the resident cat 😊 Will definitely stay again and recommend!

Great hostel

Pretty social hostel. A.c. was great. Events almost every day or you can lead a group through the group chat to different events. Kitchen was good too. Grocery store walking distance. Great hostel.

If i had to say would be the door to the bathroom in the ensuite dorm. Man is that thing loud. Was quieter to leave the room at night and use a bathroom in the hallway haha. But ensuite comes in handy during the morning bathroom rush.

I would recommend to everyone to stay here

Its so much fun! People here are amazingly nice and with the diversity from all around the world! The rooms are tidy and clean. Plenty of toilets available, always clean as well. The kitchen and common room is always clean and organized. We connect the tv with our game and play for the whole afternoon. The stairs at the entrance is like another common room for the smokers and I made amazing friends there just chillin and chitchatting. I have stayed for on and off one week, I travelled around the country going to other cities but everytime I came back to Belgrade, I book this hostel again. The hostel organize sunset trip to the fortress and there is always something going on for activities. The staff are very friendly and overwhelming when they introduce everything. I have learned so much!

This is not about the hostel. Tho, but we do came across this young man at the “stairs”(the entrance of the hostel) who is so aggressive to the guests, insulting the girls and making offensive comments about almost everything the group is talking. This young man happens to be one of the staff’s friend (not a guest from the hostel). And that is almost midnight (where we need to chitchat quietly) but that almost turned into a fight.

Position and welcoming staff. Bathroom is ok. Very nice to have always shelves near the bed. Locker available. Strongly appreciated the bed already pre-assigned.

First night the room was freezing. Air conditioning was too strong. Blankets are heavy so was ok but totally no sense having this temperature in the middle of August. Second night luckily was ok, unless at some point I think stop to work for a bit and oxygen was missing in the small room. Especially if you have a bed high near the wall.

I met so many cool people at this hostel. The hostel has a very home feeling and the staff were very nice qnd welcoming

Very cozy and social hostel. The kitchen and common area is in the same room so we often cooked food together. Very central and easy to get around. Clean rooms and nice bathrooms aswell. Free rakija shots

Warmfull welcoming hostel

The staff is very reactive and friendly, a booked late and asked if they can assign me the same room as some friends, they rapidly accepted. They sent me a booking confirmation also quickly as I needed it for customs. At my arrival, the reception desk was welcoming and helpful like the other staff members also. Multiple events indoor, group activities and visit to the city are planned for the people staying. Also Thank you Sofia for saving me with the sewing kit ( we are the group that came to attend the wedding)

It's a hostel not a luxury hotel, but still you have what you need

Best in Belgrad

Second time in this amazing hostel. It has a great location and great 3 floor building. Bed was really cozy. Almost every night there was an event which was really cool. All the recepsionists were really helpful and the cleaning in the morning was very quiet thx to the lady. No bugs no dirts. Social area was big. I hope see you again, in a short time :)

There is no curtain on the bunks. One of the bathroom's socket wasnt working. The other shower's pressure was low. Some noisy men groups. (you should warn them) No chair for the upside bunker guests. My friend had some trouble when she wearing her shoes.

Great hostel for large group

The property was in a great location in/near the old town. The rooms were all nice and comfy with private lockers. The staff gave good advice and also were very fair in their treatment of the group or 20 boys we booked for, who were a bit noisy. They were fair and we managed to resolve all issues quickly. They also let some of them use the common room after check out due to a late flight. Fantastic all round treatment

Very good..

Only here for one night as the following day they had a big group staying for just one night, meaning I had to leave (didn't book more nights) and check in elsewhere. Staff were super helpful, great location.

Good stay with central location

Nice hostel with good rooms, staff was friendly and helpful. Got some good recommendations from them.

Not a lot of social space, only in the basement and there was no activities during my stay but apparently it was just a bad luck when I was talking with staff about it.

Superb location. Nice and helpful staff. Bathrooms were cleaned several times during the day. Dormitories well equipped with comfy mattresses, AC, lockers, etc.

4.0 / 10.0

Disappointing

The only good things about this hostel are the location, which is pretty central and the local Serbian staff Stephanie and Sofija, who are very friendly and helpful with tips and directions of places to visit.

Apparently this is an old 2 storey house converted into a hostel. There are only 3 bathrooms for around 50 guests, and none of the showers have holders, so you have to shower with one hand!! Toilets are a bit smelly because the exhaust fans don't work. Watch out for the staff that are volunteering in the hostel (working for free accommodation), specially Sasha and Mette. They are very rude and disrespectful towards other guests. They sit all night in the TV room, drinking free alcohol from the staff freeze and if you want to watch some TV they tell you to go away!! I think these free loaders, forget the fact that guests are paying to stay in the hostel and the facilities are primarily for the guests, not for the volunteers!! Although they never tell you during check-in, there are some unwritten rules in this hostel. There is a curfew after 11pm, so You cant use the common room and You cant stay here more than a week at a time. So if you are planning to stay longer in Belgrade, better look somewhere else.

Nice Country (City) For A Weekend Break, Great Hostel To Stay

Everything was good about the Hostel.. except "a few" staff at the desk. Beds were super comfy, AC was really working at its best, and all beds had a charging point and a bed side light, which was really helpful and much needed. Super clean toilets too, and a good location from the main walking street while best location considering bus no 72's stop, which goes to the airport!. Literally next door !

A "few" of the staff at the desk, were not much helpful, and seemed to be grumpy/angry of no reason.. really not one likes at the first impression. anyways.. rest all good, highly recommended
