I had a short stay in Lviv and stayed here only one night. The beds were so so but the location is great and the staff was very helpful with assisting me on where to go and with transportation.

Yes, it's true they have great staff, yes its true they have a great location however my room was less then great. I had reserved the single room which the bed is in fact a hide-bed, the sheets were doubtful, the pilow not comfortable, the floor had not been cleaned in a while, and I did not have hot water and barely enough water (cold) to take a shower. Breakfast included ?- well don't expect to much, we had coffee, bread and jam. Not as good as the other review below. Bottom line, its an ok place but you have to lower your expectations, not sure how they managed to get the "Best hostel in Ukraine in 2008", they must have reduce their standards since then...

Cool place in the city with nice people to welcome you! Atmosphere is great too, but you must go to see it!

I stayed in this hostel on my first days in Lviv. i got a taxi from the main train station for 30 grivnas and went there directly, as i arrive on the late night train.

I had no reservation so I was actually lucky to get a bed.

The hostel staff are really polite and helpful, always trying to direct you and showing you the best places to go.

I stayed on the kitchen room, the cheapest due to be close to the kitchen which has early morning noise, so, not suitable for the party people. for me that i like to get up early, sound perfect.

this hostel is just 5 minutes away from the Chevchenko square and the opera, so, better located than this its impossible.
