Worth weighing

  • Check-out window is early — Check-out is from 5:00 to 10:00, which may feel tight for guests wanting a slow morning.
  • No air conditioning listed — With only heating mentioned in rooms, summer stays may rely on open windows or fans, if available.
  • Dormitory-style shared bathrooms — Rooms with showers likely indicate shared facilities, which may not suit travelers seeking private en-suite bathrooms.

“I stayed at Hostel Tabor for a few days while exploring the city. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The breakfast exceeded my expectations, a delicious start to each day. The room was surprisingly spacious, with only three beds and individual desks and chairs. The hotel is near the city center and spotlessly clean.”
