Green Street Hostel

good clean hostel

Had the pleasure of staying here for several weeks. The staff are incredibly kind and doting. Facilities are ideal, good location. I will be sure to visit next time I am in Lviv.

The description of the place and location were correct. I like that this hostel is small (only 5 rooms) thus there were not too many people there. Our room was big, comfortable and clean enough. The kitchen is for everyone's use with all necessary facilities for cooking. I don't like that there were some leftovers in the fridge. Washing machine, showers for females and males, hair dryers - everything was there. This hostel is a 20 minute walk from the city center so it's quiet there. We slept well like at home. Highly recommend this place especially for families with kids.

It's a 5 min walk from the tram no. 9 stop (Saksahanskoho station). The building itself was an older one, there is a concierge at the entrance 24 hours daily. The hostel is in the 1st floor, so not many stairs to climb. There is a common living area and a small kitchen with all the utensils. The bathroom is divided into a male and female section, each has 3 shower cabins and 3 toilets, and another unisex section with the washing machine. The washing machine is usable for a small fee (15 UAH) and slippers for 10 UAH. Right on the main street there is a small grocery store that runs even to 10 PM if need be (I didn't see the opening hours though). The center of Lviv (Rinok square) is about 15 min walking distance. Groceries shops are available along the way. The Roksolana shopping mall is 10 min walking distance. My room was small, but not cramped. Each bed has 2 plug-ins and a light. Beds are very comfortable and I had a good sleep. I got a fresh towel upon request. The entire place is being cleaned every day in the morning. During my stay, there were mostly families for short stays. The manager Oksana is an extremely kind lady and speaks a little English. The building is old, but these women have been maintaining the place to the best of their abilities and efforts, especially given the frequency of people checking in and out. Since I had to check out earlier than expected, during my long-term stay, the hosts didn't want to take the money for the days not spent there, even though they had all the right to do so. I had to insist for them to keep the entire payment anyways. AN IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: the building itself has a basement with an aditional exit, that is used as a bomb shelter. According to Oxana, the bulding is rock solid with outter walls being 1 meter thick. Right next to the hostel (50 m away) is the big school building that is marked as one of the proper bomb shelters with the sign укриття.

It is hard to find the hostel at first from the main street, you have to go through the corridor of the first yellow building and then you come to a small yard where the actual building is. They should put a sign on the buiding looking at the street.
