Reviews of Palm Hostel

A very atmospheric hostel, fully lined with wood — it feels like stepping into a 1960s retro film. The interior is a true gem: vintage posters from the era cover the walls, and every corner has a nostalgic charm. The bed was surprisingly comfortable — I had a great night’s sleep. There’s also a large balcony, perfect for relaxing with a book or a cup of coffee, especially in the quiet of the evening. If you enjoy vintage style, wood interiors, and a touch of the past, this place will definitely win you over. A truly unique and memorable hostel with character.

I stayed at this hostel and was overall quite satisfied. The kitchen is small but fully equipped — everything you need to cook is there. The large terrace with beanbags was a great bonus — a nice spot to relax and socialize. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. There are 4 toilets and 2 showers on the property, which is generally enough, though the water pressure occasionally dropped in the evenings. I assume it was due to high demand at peak hours, as there were no such issues during the day. Overall, it’s a nice place to stay: cozy, convenient, and pleasant to be in. I’d recommend it!

Excellent location! Also bus line. Across from railway station.

No complaints.

I recently stayed at this hostel and realized: if I had found this place back in the ‘80s, I’d have driven up in a Lada, popped Modern Talking into my “Vesna” cassette player, and never left. 📍 Location — Straight Out of “Yalta ‘87” The sea is just a short walk away — like going from your kitchen to the fridge at night: quick, familiar, and deeply satisfying. A big shopping mall is just across the road — everything you need is in there, from food to fun. Around the corner: cafes, bakeries, mini-markets, even shawarma that would make a Soviet cook jealous. The bus stop is right there — hop on and ride, like a weekend trip to grandma’s. 🏡 The Terrace — A Power Spot (With Tea) The large, cozy terrace isn’t just a feature — it’s a stage where you play your daily role: morning coffee like in an old movie, evening tea like on a courtyard bench — but with Wi-Fi. In the evenings, we’d sit with other guests, share stories and cookies. Almost like the old days — only now it’s lattes and phone chargers instead of tinctures and transistor radios. 🧼 Facilities — No Shortages Here Rooms are clean, beds are comfy — you can toss and turn like it’s a school disco. Showers worked fine, always had hot water (not like in ‘89 when everything was “temporarily” shut off). The shared kitchen had everything — stove, kettle, dishes. You could make soup, or just stare at the fridge like it’s a locked “Beryozka” store. 👥 Staff — Like a Cultural Center Host Friendly, helpful, and with a good sense of humor. They’ll give you tips, directions, and even lend a charger if you forgot yours. It felt less like a hostel and more like visiting good friends who happen to have Wi-Fi.

Good place, i wonna come

No smoking

There are so many shoes

Great place for relax or live permanently. I liked the terrace - where you can relax in the fresh Air. Everything was clean. The administrator was polite.

Staff, location The lounge terrace is great

The best thing about this hostel beside location was the manager Slava, such a wonderful guy. My plan was to stay there just for a night but I extended. Thanks man you are simply the best providing a comfort stay for me.

Hostel itself is decent. There is a lot of space & common areas like the terrace or the dinner tables.

Beds have curtains which are always a plus, yet the matress was definitely old and not so comfortable. Bathrooms are also very old and not always so clean, there is a lot of construction going on and the staircase up to the hostel feels a lil sketchy. Sadly I didn't really meet anyone while being there cause the only people staying there were man way older than me... Also the owner will offer you a discount for a good review which I didn't take because I really dislike it if opinions are bought.

When i arrive, there was no receptionist. When i called him, he told me to find my place by myself. There was no welcoming. This is absurd. And at the evening there was no internet connection. And i told the same receptionist and he told lots of people connecting the internet and he said its normal. This is hostel, somebody should tell him. Bed was so uncomfortable also.

Nice people working here, quiet, good place to socialize too, close to Hopa Market and cool places around to have coffee or play pool. Everything was clean, good price and more restrooms than the rest of hostels I have been in.

All was good

The place has all of the amenities for short or long term stay. Great location, 2 minutes walk from the beach and close to a couple large Supermarkets. No alcohol allowed in the hostel, so you dont have to deal so much with loud people coming in at 3am. Washing laundry is free and machine dry is 2 lari. A terrace for when the weather is warm and comfortable indoor common area that makes it easy to be social. Lots of electrical outlets available plus a small work station. Well stocked kitchen for doing your own cooking.

The oven doesnt work Bedrooms could benefit from dark curtains on the windows to keep the light out. Its a bit far from the old town, although there is a bus stop 20 meters from the hostel.

The bed with curtains was the best. And there was cleaning many times a day. But this cheap hostel need to improve a lot in future to satisfied guests.

Kitchen much too small. Not enough places to sit and relax. The balcony was not allowed to use by smoking people - crazy! Also you could not drink a glas of wine - total crazy.

The hostel's atmosphere is amazing, it is a home away from a home. Nice people living here and administrator who is very helpful. The washing machine is free to use!

The bed was really comfy. It's a very affordable place. Surrounded by shops and near the beach.

We arrived at the hostel at 18:00 and the beds weren't made, plus they didn't have enough clean sheets for all of us. During the check-in, very little information was given so we didn't know it was forbidden to storage (not drink) our beers with our stuff. Whoever is the guy managing the hostel could do with some Costumer Service course because he's very rude and irrational.
