We had to make our own beds . the towels and blankets that we were provided were too small. My legs kept sticking out of the blanket. The locks to the bathrooms and to the... More

We were a bit scared after reading reviews on Lviv's hostels, so decided to get the cheapest one to be sure not to overprice bad service etc. We were surprized to get nice double in the center of the city with private bathroom overlooked to the roof with a cat on it ;) It seems to be new rooms on...

Location is very good, it's in the center, close to all attractions. Room was very basic, sometimes there wasn't hot water. Atmosphere is good and staff are ok. There is lounge in the front of entrance (covered courtyard) where we met some others guests and one evening there was nice party. Summary, for this price it's good place to stay... More

Shevchenko is good, shevchenko is bad, shevchenko is a bit of everything really. We were welcomed by a northern Irish midget who threatened to kneecap us, then chugged a bottle of wine and passed out on the couch. The location is perfect, within 10 minutes walk of all the beautiful sites and nightspots in central L'viv. The atmosphere is 'anything... More

It was quite clean and location was nice as well. However, our room (private) was extremely small and that's why not very comfortable. We did not like staff too. More

I can't believe this place is even listed here. An absolute disgrace. Akin to a 'gulag' I would suggest. More
