Rough Guide
"Rooms here are smart and comfortable, if a little small and cramped, with en-suite facilities, a/c and TV. Diagonally opposite the train station. 801–1100Kn."

Top choice
"Dorms are small but thoughtfully kitted out...the hostel's popularity, however, lies in its supersocial, friendly vibe, with welcome shots of rakija, organised pub crawls and an on-site travel agency." Full review
