Arkabarka is a great place to stay with friends or in a couple, it has a great vibe and lots of positive energy. The staff is great, everyone is very friendly and relaxed and also very helpful. The hostel is very clean and colourful, and the terrace on the Danube is amazing for breakfast or drinks in the evening. I'd... More

To be honest, despite the positive reviews we had read (which made ​​us choose it among others), we were quite skeptical about what we would meet. You see, we had never stayed in a hostel before. I can say that we found it rather easily (following istructions from Arka Barka's website) though in the night, a very cold night. Entering,... More

Okay, finding this hostel in the dark isn't really easy, but once you've found it everything is perfect. I'll start with the negative points: - Not expensive but also not the cheapest. - The shower's aren't clean and private enough - The hostel does NOT have airco in the rooms, so prepare yourself to temperatures in summer of 30 degrees....

Arkabarka surely has a lot going for it. The personel is charming and its location on the Danube is remarkable. But while we certainly had a lot of sympathy for Arkabarka, it's hard to ignore the downsides. The rooms weren't particularly clean and the beds quite uncomfortable. The walls between the rooms were paper thin, making it a quite noisy... More

I've stayed there for 2 nights, part of a business trip in Belgrade. Very nice place, nice view of the river, excellent staff. Although it's located in the center of the city, is just after the big park and is really very quiet.
