ArkaBarka floating hostel & apartments

I really enjoyed the hospitality, Alexander is very open and generous, offers advice, guiding and friendship. We came in the middle of military parade and whole park was closed and he sent us prior ways of reaching the accommodation. The atmosphere is so warm!

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 ❤️

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

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.

Very cool hostel, not the first time here. Day one was very hot, nearly 40 degrees, but at night the temperature was OK. All rooms got brand new air conditioning! The location is nice, at the river. To walk into the old down it will take maybe 20 minutes? Near the hostel I found multiple pizza places, google for pizza with maps in that area (I was Di Napoli and Pizza Bar). The hostel offers different IPA - I tried them all.

Unique stay on the river. We had an apartment with a balcony which was lovely in the evenings. The WiFi was not working during our stay which was a problem for us using our mobile network as Serbia is outside the EU. Also note there is no direct bus from the inconvenient location of the new bus station, although this is not the hostels problem, just something to be aware of. The rooms were basic but was to be expected.

We stayed at the Arkabarka Floating Hostel during the European Dragonboat Club Crew Championships last week and absolutely loved it. The rooms are beautifully designed and modern, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was just perfect for us. But the highlight was definitely the terrace — the perfect spot to start the day with a coffee in the morning, or to wind down in the evening with a cold drink (once the guys at the bar had put the beer in the fridge 😉). The vibe at Arkabarka really added to our experience and definitely played a part in the Berlin Dragonboat Company’s success in Belgrade. Thank you for everything!

I'm staying at ArkaBarka for the 3rd or 4th time already. It is always quiet and cozy here, unless there is some concert in nearby Ušće park. This time I had a feeling that I'm staying at good friends.
