This hostel does not exist!!!! Do not book or you will be moved to their real unpleasant sister hostel. They have been closed for over a year and the sister hostel (Eleveth Hour) was the worst 2 nights sleep (if you can call it that) I have had so far!

500 characters is not enough!! The Vamhaz was very comfortable and had a relaxed atmosphere. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Loved it, would definitely go back, would recommend it to anyone.

Rooms are small and dark, and it's more bare-bones than its sister hostel, the 11th Hour, but overall it's a good value. They even did our laundry for us! It's not such a good spot for party animals - you have to be really quiet going up the 4 flights of stairs, or the other tenants in the apartment might vote to evict the hostel.close

The staff at the hostel couldn't be more helpful and the morning coffee is highly recommended. It is also really close to the metro, the grand market has everything that you could possibly want food wise and most sights are within manageable walking distance. I definitely recommend staying at...

This is the best hostel which i have seen. It's near the city centre and metre station. Everything is perfect in the hostel especially the staff. I wouldn't say that they are staff, they are juz like your family members and u r living in their home.
