    I stayed at HostelGreco for a few nights and had an amazing experience. From the moment I arrived, Dora made me feel at home with her warm welcome and genuine kindness. The hostel had a friendly atmosphere, making it easy to connect with fellow travelers. Dora even treated us to delicious homemade snacks. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the train and bus stations, and close to the town center. The staff, including Dimitrius, were incredibly helpful and provided great advice for day trips. The beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was a nice touch. I also enjoyed trying the homemade tea and wine. I highly recommend this hostel.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

    I recently stayed at Host El Greco for one night while visiting the area. The location was perfect, just a few minutes' walk from the train and bus stations. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with great information about the area and offering a free sunset tour. The bunk beds were comfortable and the ensuite bathroom in the room was a luxury for a hostel. Everything was clean and well-maintained. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at Host El Greco for a few nights and it was absolutely wonderful. The location is perfect, close to all the main attractions and within walking distance. The staff, including Mama and Dmitri, were incredibly kind and helpful. Mama's breakfast was delicious and the money goes towards helping people in Tanzania, which is such a kind-hearted initiative. The rooms were clean and the sheets were changed daily. it was a fantastic experience.

    I would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with great recommendations for exploring the area. the location of the hotel was perfect, just a short walk away from the town center and conveniently close to the train and bus stations. - We enjoyed the complimentary guided tour of the nearby attractions, which was a fantastic way to learn about the area's history and see the beautiful sights.

    Some of the plugs in the room didn't work, which was a bit inconvenient. The lack of a key to the room made us feel a bit less secure, as anyone could enter.

    The hostel is conveniently located in close proximity to all the main attractions and monasteries, making it easy to explore the area on foot. The staff is friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. The rooms are colorful and cozy, providing a comfortable stay. The common areas are clean and well-maintained, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests to interact and make friends.

    Some aspects of the hostel's décor and style may be outdated, but the charming stone architecture and picturesque mountain views make up for it.
