ArkaBarka floating hostel & apartments

It wasn’t bad for a hostel stay. The room and the bed were clean. The staff member was very helpful and informative. The location was great — staying right above the Danube River was an amazing experience. After passing through a large park area, you reach the hotel; the morning air, nature, the river, and the trees were beautiful. Breakfast was decent. We met the owner, and he was attentive. The only thing that bothered me was that they charged their regular nightly rate instead of the price I confirmed on Booking. I noticed it in the morning, and when I mentioned it, they said they didn’t know why it happened and that nothing could be done at that moment, and I would need to resolve it with Booking. It wasn’t a big issue for me, so I didn’t pursue it, but pay attention during check-in so it doesn’t slip by. Before arriving, make sure to ask for the parking location information. I parked somewhere based on a guess and later had to move the car; it was a bit of a walk. The bathroom was small, it was difficult to hang things, and the drainage was a bit problematic.

The place is super nice, staff is amazing, the rooms are cozy and warm, we had a great time. The breakfast was tasty and with different options for everyone. The area is really quiet and green. There is a free parking and great food nearby.

Beautiful hostel on the river. Super friendly and helpful staff from reception to housekeeping. Lidia is a gem. Great atmosphere by the river, perfect for meeting people and having a few beers. If you come to Belgrade, this is the best place :)

Perfect location and an extraordinary place to stay. Waking up next to the river Doubavis was an amazing experience! The staff was very gentle and kind with us and they were very helpful with everything we asked! The room was big and spacious, the big window on the living room with the river view was amazing

The loveliest place in Belgrade, so sweet and cozy. Here I am, sitting by the fireplace and enjoying a lovely winter evening. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I stayed at this hotel in Belgrade totally by chance, after my original booking somewhere else got cancelled… and wow, I’m SO glad it did! This place turned out to be one of the most unique and cozy hotels I’ve ever stayed at. It’s located right on the Danube River, which gives it a super peaceful and beautiful vibe, and it’s also next to a park, so the whole area feels really relaxing. The rooms were absolutely lovely,clean, stylish, and seriously cozy. The breakfast was okay, nothing too fancy but definitely enough to start the day. What really made the stay special, though, were the people working there. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. There are just a couple of things to keep in mind, the parking area is a bit of a walk from the hotel, so you’ll need to carry your luggage for a few minutes. Also, there are some stairs not too many, but still worth mentioning if accessibility is important to you. Oh, and they have the sweetest little cat hanging around, which honestly made everything even better ❤️

Really cute, relaxing environment on the river. My room had an en-suite bathroom and a balcony. The free breakfast is a nice perk too. As others have mentioned, the location is a bit remote, but if you use the nearby buses it’s very manageable. The 15 and the 84 both travel on the nearest road; take them to Brankov Most and from there it’s easy to get to all the attractions in the old town. I felt good about safety in the surrounding park after dark—I came back alone at night a few times and it was totally fine.

Nice place for people who love nature & walking in the park a just a bit cold near the river comparing to the city. Clean rooms, hot water with a good flow. Awesome breakfast
