I stayed at Art Hostel and honestly, it was a really good experience. The inside felt cozy and calm, with a soft artistic vibe that matched the name well. Everything from the walls to the furniture had some character, and it just felt like a place that knew what it was trying to be.
The room I stayed in wasn’t packed at all. It was quiet, the AC worked great, and I slept well under cool air the whole night. The only thing that bugged me was that I didn’t have a drawer for my bed. The one under it was locked, so I just left my bags on the floor next to me. Not a big deal, but still.
The bathroom was super clean, which honestly surprised me. Most hostels I’ve been to don’t take care of that stuff, but this one did. And breakfast? It was free and actually really good. They had a nice variety, not just bread and butter, and I ate while chilling on this soft couch in the common room. Felt like a calm morning at home.
They also have a pool and a tapchan outside. I didn’t have time to try the pool myself, but a few people I met there said it was great. On the walls, there were a lot of artworks with cultural touches, and I saw a bowl full of different currencies from all over the world. It made me feel like this place had been home for many travelers before me too.
Just a lovely, comfortable hostel. Not trying to be fancy, but it delivers where it matters. I’d definitely recommend it.
