    The rooms at this hotel were spacious and well-equipped with air conditioning and fans. the bathroom was also very clean. the location of the hotel was fantastic, just a short walk to the beach. Another advantage was the friendly and communicative staff, who made us feel at home.

    That the shower only had cold water, but it wasn't really a problem because of the warm climate. the wifi could have been better, especially in the rooms, as the connectivity was limited.

    This hotel is truly value for money. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the location in the centre of Samara. It's just a short walk from the beach and right down the street from all the amenities you need. The staff are friendly and provide great service, ensuring that the basic amenities are well-maintained. The rooms are kept very clean and have AC, which is a big plus. Plus, the breakfast is delicious!

    No major drawbacks, everything was just fine.

    This hotel is a hidden gem in the center of the town. It is conveniently located right down the street from the beach, making it perfect for beach lovers like myself. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my stay even more enjoyable. The rooms are kept very clean and have AC, ensuring a comfortable stay even on hot and humid days. Plus, the breakfast served here is delicious and gave me the energy I needed to start my day exploring.

    The only minor downside was the intermittent internet connection, but considering the whole town has satellite internet, it was understandable.

    I had an amazing stay at this hostel in the heart of the town. the location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and everything else I needed. the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. the room was clean and comfortable, with a private bathroom. the facilities were great, with a shared kitchen and dining area where I could meet other travelers. I also felt safe and secure, with 24/7 access through a locked gate.

    That the shower water was too cold.

    The hostel had a prime location in the heart of town, just a short stroll away from the beach. The rooms were spotlessly clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and convenient stay. The friendly and helpful staff were always ready to share their knowledge and recommendations. Despite a few minor drawbacks like the lack of outdoor lounging space and smaller bathrooms, the overall atmosphere was relaxed and cute. I would definitely recommend this hostel for a safe and enjoyable stay in Samara. I had a great experience and would happily stay here again.

    My Christmas stay was a blast! The hostel's location was perfect, being close to supermarkets and restaurants. , I was pleasantly surprised at how close the lovely beach was! It was just a short walk away which was fantastic. the hostel was very clean and felt secure. The access was through a locked gate which gave me peace of mind.

    The rooms were a bit cramped, and I found myself wishing for more space. the lack of outdoor lounging area made relaxing outside difficult, but it wasn't a significant issue as there were indoor couch and seating areas available.

    I had a wonderful stay at this centrally located hostel. The beach was just a short walk away, perfect for a relaxing day in the sun. The hostel was clean, safe, and had a well-equipped kitchen. I especially enjoyed meeting fellow travelers in the communal dining area. The friendly and helpful hosts made my stay more fun. I would highly recommend this lovely holiday spot.

    Located right in the heart of the town, it's easy to walk to the beach and supermarkets. the hostel is cleaned daily and fresh towels are provided. the kitchen is well-equipped and the balcony is a great place to meet other travelers.

    The refrigerator wasn't very cold and ants were everywhere.

    the location was perfect as we were in walking distance to the beach and there were plenty of options for dining out. the kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed making our own meals. the atmosphere was really chill and laid-back, we met some great people there!

    The shower water temperature could have been a bit warmer, especially after a long day at the beach. the noise levels from the nearby music venue were quite loud and kept us up later than we would have liked.
