Hostel Villa Skansi

Great location, very pleasantly surprised with the private rooms, lovely staff. Great meal options offered in the evenings too.

Very friendly staff, great amenities and atmosphere.

The luggage room did not feel very secure

Nice beds with curtains, clean showers, toilet seat was fixed within hours after someone broke it. Overall, very nice service.

It was really nice and social, that’s great specially when you’re solo traveling. They have free pizza every night and it is really yummy.

The only thing I didn’t love was the laundry service. It was 15€ and the clothes did not feel very cleaned after the service.

We did a private 4 person room with a bathroom - it was lovely and had a little patio which was nice! The free pizza was a nice treat!

The bathroom sink was broken and some of the staff were unfriendly.

Ivan night security was amazing. Very cool guy , very mindful and guided me to some water at night.

Everything pretty good. Water could have been a bit warmer if I had to say something.

The private room was spacious for 2, very clean. The view out the balcony is really nice since the hostel is located a little higher up than the coastal road. The town center, beach and few really good restaurants are only a short walk away

The bathroom in the private room was a bit small and a little inconvenient. But still good for the value.The hostel is a walk up from the coast, so be mindful carrying bags. There are stairs at the hostel too, so be prepared. May cause inconvenience to some.

Close the Hvar city centre. The staff throughout the hostel were all quite nice. We didn't take part in pizza night or the pub crawl, but they both sounded great. Super close to the water. Scooter rentals available for €40 per day.

I wish there was somewhere to hang clothing after washing (shower wash, not aware of any laundry facilities). We were also given a pretty bad beach recommendation, it was very dirty and filled with tourists. I would avoid Pokonji dol Beach and check out the rock pools you pass on the coastline, or elsewhere on the island entirely.

The design. Arranged with vision, love and enthusiasm. A beautiful yard with lots of flowers, cute small details and a nice kitchen. Good common place outside for eating, having a coffee, meeting people, enjoying...The bar on the terrace with a sea view and terrific sunsets was really exotic and the coctails were great. Friendly place where you can have a lots of fun and meet new people every day during the free pizza evenings (the pizza was also good and freshly baked on site) and with the engagement of our volonteers that took us every evening to pub crowling that was really fun.You can have also your private sphere, since the beds had curtains, a plug and light inside for each person. Our was 12-people room with 2 toilets, 1 shower, but there was no need for waiting since almost everyone had a personal agenda different from the others.It was cleaned daily and the stuff was nice and helpful and always on site. The night security paid attention for our security and the peace around so that the people could have a good rest.Rooms as on the photos, I liked them :) I would come again here :)

It was my first stay in a hostel and all my prejudices about hostels were removed, since I really had a good time. Yet, the living together had the common disadvantages, since it can happen that some people don't pay attention to leave everything clean and the cleaning stuff can not run after them in any second and clean their dirtyness. But luckily it happened very rarely. Lots of people wanted the air conditioner at 15°C over night although there was no need for that and all of them were waking up sick and still not getting aware of the cause for that. I suffered from being sick almost during my whole stay because of that. The stuff tried to help but they also couldn't have a total control of the personal acts. And I think we couldn't really adjust the temperature to ~20°C.I had an issue with my drawer at the beginning and some other things that were bothering me but the good thing is that the stuff is there in any moment for everything and takes care about everything at the moment, so it was solved immediately.In any case I would come again at this place though, because I think such an organisation can not be found anywhere else.

I like the location and the pizza nights. Or room was nice as well

I didn’t love the staff. They weren’t properly nice. I think we were in bad luck since the summer season was over but still it wasn’t the best hostel vibe.Also you’re not allowed to have alcohol inside the hostel - your bedroom or the fridge..

Can rent cars/bikes. Free pizza. Communal kitchen areas and fridges are all clean and plenty space for everyone. Drinks are cheaper in the hostel than outside.

Staff didn’t seem friendly, we had a 3P room which isn’t big enough for 3ppl especially backpackers with large rucksacks as our room has 0 Wardrobes and very little walkway. Would have been better if the space had been utilised with double/triple bunks.

Nice terrace, great evening activities. Plenty of space to store your stuff.

Towels not provided, bathrooms dirty at times

Really clean bathrooms, which were shared with a ton of people. Loved that they were cleaned in the morning and afternoon. Stephanie was the best of the staff. Super friendly and helpful, great tips and incredibly generous.

As it is a hostel, of course, the rooms are shared... some strange behavior from some of the guests (peeing with the door of the toilet open, passing out drunk and vomiting in the shared rubbish bin). Not really the fault of the hostel though...

The curtains in the bedroom, the cleanliness, the environment, the helpful staff, the free pizza at night was AMAZING and a big plus.

The rooms are very big and confortable. Everything was clean and organized. Also, we have free pizza every night :)

Location and room was perfect! The vibe was incredible. Very social, rooms and bathroom were clean. Social bar and free pizza every night with amazing views, free bar crawl every night.

The communal bathroom which you can use if the one in your room is occupied was super gross and the bar is cash only. Don’t rely on the free pizza to fill you up and the happy hour is a bit of a scam.

Very social atmosphere with great common spaces so it is easy to meet people. Free pizza every night is a perk!

A bit expensive especially as it is outside of the city center (10 min walk) and I couldn’t open the door to my locker at all as the bunk beds were too close together.

Good for meeting new ppl

You have to pay in cash. This is ridiculous and this is not suitable for travelers who would like to rest. Typical party noisy hostel

I liked that the beds had privacy curtains and outlets, and the hostel was beautiful and clean. It has a spacious outdoor kitchen and an upstairs terrace with a beautiful view of the sea. The hostel also offers free pizza in the evenings which was a great way to meet other guests! The hostel is gorgeous and well kept and it is only a 10 minute walk to the beach.

The bathrooms to the right of reception were not well kept as the bathroom door on one stall was broken and the other one had plumbing problems. Also, the staff are very strict about noise during the day and at night, so if you like music this is not a great place to stay. The staff also tend to sit at one of the large tables during the evening when they serve pizza and it makes it difficult for guests to find seating. The staff and male bartender can be cold towards guests and I have witnessed the male bartender raise his voice at a guest and at me which made me uncomfortable. But, the female bartender Lara was incredible! Additionally, the night security guard is extremely kind. The girls who serve pizza are lovely as well and are very warm towards guests.

Loved the free pizza and pub crawl. The beds were comfortable and clean. Everyone was very friendly.

The door handle on the bathroom was falling off and the dorm door would not shut easily. I was put in the corner bed and it was difficult for me to access my storage area and the lighting was not good in that corner.
