Ohrid is wonderful and this hostel is lovely place to stay. Its owner Jock is very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and the garden. The beds were good. I really enjoyed my stay.

The title says it all, we really enjoyed our stay here, to the point we decided to spend an extra night. Our host really friendly welcoming, knows his stuff and happy to help. The hostel was clean, comfy and in a good location, kinda tucked away but really close to the may sights. Breakfast included and its really nice, with... More

The Sunny Lake is (to me) the essence of what a hosteling experience should be. Great camaraderie----mixed with generous servings of hospitality---- (Thanks! Nino) Offering all the necessities--------without the (“Western-minded”) excess of comfort & modernity----i.e. fairly bare bones, yet adequate facilities, comforts and amenities ------ commensurate to the REAL Balkan experience you should be enjoying. Couple this with an absolutely... More

I arrived to Sunny Lake Hostel at 3 am with no reservation whatsoever, and the first thing I saw was a group of the owner's friends hanging out in the common room and inviting us to join them and to drink freely with them until they would wake him up. Even that late at night he didn't seem to be... More

very comfortable hostel and great value in the heart of pretty Ohrid on the shores of the lake. Lovely terrace view and welcoming host who I spent some great times watching football and riding his funny bikes imported from Finland. Planning to return soon.

I stayed at Sunny Lake 2 nights in October, the place is bang in the centre but a bit difficult to find if you use Google Maps, so better to go to the main pedestrianised area (Bulevar Makedonski Prosvetiteli) and roughly in front of the casino it’s signposted, you walk up the hill for about 200 m or so and...

The hostel is focused on what a travelers wants, somewhere you can meet other travelers easily and friendly staff who you can give you advice and make your stay a great experience. It is particularly good if you are a solo traveler because there is always someone to talk too over a coffee or a beer. This is in contrast... More

A pleasant enough experience with two friendly guys in charge. Clean and plenty of bathrooms with toilet roll. Five minutes walk to the centre and a view of Lake Orhid from the top balcony. Despite some half-baked excuses and apologies about plumbing, pipework and water pressure, no hot water was available whatsoever for the three nights we stayed. A must... More

The hostel seems to have good intentions but lets itself down by being a bit scruffy and when I visited (May 2012) it was a bit cold a damp (needed extra blankets to stay warm). Free breakfast was OK (seemed to be different every day) and free wifi is always welcome (even if it doesn't always work properly). Good lockable... More
