Hostel was small and more of a giant apartment. The showers flooded each time we used them. Hostel wasn't the nicest and for the same price we stayed in a private apartment. Was a very good location, near the city center and had a community tv and internet.

It was a very pleasant staying in Buzz, an extraordinary ocasion to meet a japanese guy and feel a little bit of their home atmosphere. I will recomend this place for visiting and spending some nights there. Pozdrav, Marko (Podgorica)

Well located, good staff but the cleanliness is left to desire, particularly the bathroom. But for a short stay, it's ok.

The room we stayed in was really roomy and the beds were clean and comfortable. There was a common lounge room with a TV and free internet which was cosy. HOWEVER, the kitchen and bathrooms were absolutely filthy. I actually felt dirtier AFTER my shower. Gross.

The place is dirty (the beds are dirty, the bathrooms are super dirty), the people that manage the place are dirty. I think its the worst hostel I've ever been.... If you work in the hostel, you don't brush your teeth in front of the clients, and wash your mouth on the kitchen sink.

Staff didn´t tell us anything about the facilities and what we could and couldn´t use in the kitchen and the showers and toilets were disgraceful. Very dirty and one had the washing machine run off feeding into the bottom of the shower so your feet got covered in dirty water when you were trying to shower. Not very impressed.close

It seemed to be a nice little cosy hostel, but if you looked closer things were not very much looked after. The toilet and douche were really not very clean and I do not have a high standard. we slept with 10 people in a room. that was too much.

nice simple hostel, and sort of TOO SIMPLE. not quite busy, sometimes i felt i booked the whole hostel. if you like pro-active staff, dunt pick this... unless you are a japanese. the staff tend to talk among themselves in their own language (jap.) and it makes ppl feel quite uncomfortable. staff... more nice simple hostel, and sort of TOO SIMPLE. not quite busy, sometimes i felt i booked the whole hostel. if you like pro-active staff, dunt pick this... unless you are a japanese. the staff tend to talk among themselves in their own language (jap.) and it makes ppl feel quite uncomfortable. staff was quite unfriendly in a way that they stated a charge for EVERYTHING (well, except internet).close

The Hostel is ok. It's near the centre, but there is no sign outside to find it easy. The beds and toilets and the common room are nice but not very clean. But the guy at the reception is very friendly and helped us when we had some questions or problems.

I had a good night sleep as no drunk people coming back to the room in the early morning and wake me up like the other hostels I had stayed in previously. Staff helpful if you have any enquireis but not too personal. I highly recommend this hostel if you want a good rest and get ready for next day.
