We stayed in Gary's Hostel for 12 nights. I highly recommend this hostel for many reasons. It is in an excellent location, a two minute walk to the main historic center. However, the area outside the main historic center, which is where this hostel is located, is also amazing and very worth exploring. This hostel is always kept very clean, it is in excellent condition, and it appears to have been remodeled recently. The air conditioner in our room worked perfectly well in summer, with a temperature setting to as low as 64 degrees. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful and they speak English. The bathrooms are shared bathrooms but the showers and toilets have privacy with doors that lock shut. The water pressure in the showers is excellent and the hot water never runs out. I read a review for this hotel saying it is located on an abandoned, dark, dirt road with stray dogs that attack and that is completely untrue and ridiculous. This hostel is located on a busy main road, next to nice restaurants, shops, traffic, and lots of people walking. The thing is in many old cities in Europe and around the world such as Lviv Ukaraine, you must enter an opening in the building where cars and people go through to get to the hostel, and this is totally normal and not unusual or less secure in any way. We stayed in this hostel 9 nights and never seen a single stray dog here, much less packs of stray dogs that attack!
