    Great location in kotor next to the old town and bus station with a supermarket next door. Staff were really friendly and helpful upon arrival telling best things to do in the area. Beds were comfy with curtains for added privacy with charging port for each bed. Showers were clean with decent sized kitchen and seating to cook with

    There is nothing I didn't like, I only missed one soft chair for book reading in the afternoon in the lounge area.

    Hostel is super central, extremely clean and stuff is super polite and professional. I felt safe and protected. Music in lounge area and in the kitchen was super nice. House rules are clear and while I was there respected by all guests, which is super.

    Good modern hostel. Peaceful alternative to the party hostels of Kotor.

    Check-out at 10 is not unheard-of but it's also not the standard. I don't think anyone would be much inconvenienced by moving check-out to 11. The receptionist seemed a bit irritated when I checked out at about 10:15 after getting delayed exploring the secret staircase by the Gurdic Gate. That being said, there is no problem leaving your bag for a few hours after check-out, so of course I can be blamed for not having checked out before leaving for a morning walk. The owner has posted a list of rules that are really a long, sarcastic rant. They may have helped the owner blow off steam, but I can't say they serve any positive purpose posted in the rooms, even if, stripped of the anger and sarcasm, they are reasonable enough. Most people won't read them anyway. There is also a wall of shame at the reception desk with photos of supposed guests labeled with their various offenses ("I spilled coffee", etc.). I hope it is just a joke with a message, but I didn't ask. Anyway, this stuff didn't come into play while I was there--it just made me wonder a bit about the owner, whom I don't believe I met.

    The introduction to the area by the receptionist was unusually informative and helpful. I would rate this hostel as moderately sociable. It's not one of those in which everybody talks to everybody, but it's not too hard to make conversation with some of the guests. I picked up some actionable tips from a guy in the dining area. The bed curtains are an immense asset and are the main reason I chose this hostel. While it seems to me that they are becoming more common, there are still many hostels with beds on which curtains could easily be installed that still have not implemented this simple enhancement of the guest experience. My oversized backpack did not fit into the locker, but the locker was big enough for everything of greatest value. Overall, I found this place to be a well-organized hostel that is up to contemporary standards.

    I mistakenly left a day early - got my dates messed up! Would have loved to of been there longer!

    What a great place! Super great location close to the bus station and grocery store for your supplies. Easy walking distance into old town. But what sells this place like no other is the super clean bathrooms, dorms, communal areas - I mean even the light switches seemed to be wiped down daily! Aircon can be run at the discretion of the occupants which makes it very comfortable. Christina is a gem! So funny and a great attitude. Dora too! Great for a laugh, great about introducing you to Kotor and what you should do with your time. Do it - book this place - you don’t need to party hostel - you need the happy hostel!

    One tiny thing - the bedside lights are SO bright - if one person has theirs on late at night even with their curtains closed the whole room is lit up.

    There’s nothing not to like - the location is fantastic, the place is spotlessly clean, the staff helpful, explaining all the local sights and giving advice on which trips are worthwhile and which you can do yourself for less money, and also the best places to eat and avoid. The bunks are comfortable and even the top ones have privacy curtains. Every room has aircon. There’s a washing machine - only €3 and washing lines out back. I think this is probably my favourite hostel and I’ve stayed in lots. I was sorry to leave.

    The bed is little more softer than I like :(

    First of all a special thank to receptionist Cristina. She is very professional, smiling and friendly. Location is great. Very close to the old town but away from its crowd and close to the main bus station of Kotor. Close to the supermarket. Thank to the cleaning staff, the hostel is simply shining. I could leave my luggage after check out till the departure time of my bus. We could use AC the way we want. Toilet and showers are enough and very clean. Whenever in Kotor I choose to stay at the Hostel Pupa.

    This was by far the best hostel I have ever stayed at. The beds were very comfortable, and upon check-in, you are given clean sheets and a towel. They were quick to help when I needed an extra towel. The location is excellent, and I will definitely choose this place again.

    It's a little bit noisy in the mixed room, some guests should to know about respect and rules :') And there is no female dorm there too, actually I would like to choose it over mixed~

    Nice location, near the waterfront and the bus station, you can use to go to different towns. Extremely friendly staff, cozy beds, clean facilities. Spent good time there!

    Wonderful stay, was a little expensive for a hostel but I think it’s the same across Kotor. Very close to the blue line and the bus station. Spectacular view from the hostel and top service from the staff. Very close to old town, pretty much round the corner. Amazing location.

    There is nothing I did not like.

    This hostel was the perfect balance for me. It is a party hostel but still a social hostel where I met some lovely guests . The vibes were very chilled there . The staff are fantastic. They were so friendly , helpful and a good laugh which is important in a hostel environment . They all seemed to enjoy what they were doing .

    Boats and cars trafic in front of the hostel but it’s part of the charm :)

    Very nice stay in this great hostel that faces the old town. You can’t be more central. Restaurant and supermarket nearby. There are benches outside where you can sit and watch the harbor (but you get to small the boats and cars gasoil). Staff was really nice.

    Wish there are more burners for cooking. At one time it becomes difficult for 2 people to cook. Everything else was good.

    Very convenient location, close to old town. Receptionist was helpful and gave good recommendations. Beds were really comfortable and they provided us with clean sheets, towels. Internet was very good. They had a good spread of utensils to use.
