    It smells nice in the hostel when you come and administrator was nice and helpful but there are no any other advantages there. I stayed here for one night only and there wasn't hot water during all my stay. First day I took the cold shower, because I was very tired after my trip and needed a refreshment. But still I couldn't wash my hair, it was too cold for me. I asked their administrator what's the problem and he said that I had to wait a little bit more and then it's getting warmer. I said that I waited for very long time but nothing happened. The next morning I woke up and I really hoped that I am going to take a hot shower and finally to wash my hair. But no, the same problem. I wrote to administrator - he said that there's a hot water. I said NO, there is not. Finally he came to the second floor to the bathroom (topless lol, why?) and saw himself that I was right. He called the boss and the boss said: just wait till the sun becomes warmer and then the water will become warmer. But it's a lie! Because it was already 11 in the morning and it was extremely sunny. And the day before it was sunny too. So, he lied. Other guests were also complaining about that but no one cares. There is no air conditioning in the room so they use a fan which is noisy and old. I booked a bed in the room for 4 persons and it was written that there are still 3 free places, so I thought that I would be lucky enough to be alone there. But no, they gave me the bed in the other room (not that one that I saw on the photos) and where all beds were busy with people who live there for months. As a bonus, I had to pay one euro for a towel that wasn't clean at all. Never stay there if you don't want to feel yourself like a homeless person without any money. Never again, thank you, bye.

    An extremely low-quality hostel; probably the worst one, I have ever stayed in. Pros: - location: 7-10 walking minutes to the promenade; grocery stores and fitness centres in the area too. - good internet Cons: - poor service and impolite staff - uncomfortable beds and pillows; - unpleasant smell in the room which makes it really hard to fall asleep; - too hot in the room, no AC working. - poor light in the whole property; - super old furniture; - no towels provided - only one key for everyone for entering the building Price/value ratio - 2/10! Not recommend it.

    Need to improve 1. Wifi: too low. I wasn’t able to use it at the night and morning. 2. It looked clean but it has bad smell everywhere as homeless… 3. Valuable Locker: Although there is in each room , it doesn’t work. Because there is no wall on backside. That’s strange too much. 4. Hot shower : it was no hot water, even through I switch on as members of the staff. Taking a shower made me getting so cold. Floor is always wetty. 5.bed cover : It seems to be no washing for a long, because it smells bad and a bit humid….:( 6.Recommend for young girls pay attention Old man who is a receptionist and housekeeper should learn manners more. When I changed clothes in my room, he came in suddenly without knocking. He saw my changing clothes. Although I accepted another improvements , because of this incident, I decided to check out this hostel soon. I definitely won’t stay here anymore even though the cost is one of the cheapest in Larnaka. That’s like nightmare for me. I don’t know why my review was disappeared on Booking.com., but I don want to stay there at all…

    Decent kitchen (reasonably big and priced breakfast was served next door), solid showers, and good common areas (terrace needs some work because it’s a shame to neglect it) and nice staff. The dorms, however, are inadequate. The beds are OK enough but the rooms badly need more sockets, lockers, and some personalising.

    Still, I didnt receive a message. They dont care about help. They dont care about security. It happened in their hostel and the camera didnt recorded anything. Thats not possible. I am sure. The hostel lies. Something is wrong. They defend the two guys who have stolen our things at this night.

    So Way do this place get a 5 star? It is cheap to live here. And for that price around 30€ for 2 Night. In the middle of the city and och can come after 14-00.00 for booking. And it is just simple here. You have all the things you need, toilet, shower, a kitchen, and even a roof bar. The people who have it is nice and warm welcome you too stay.

    The guy who’s managing the hostel is super friendly, always smiling, accepting any of feedbacks, and he has a such wonderful breakfast experience. The hostel and beds is very clean and organized, despite any noises might happen from guests. The kitchen and pathrooms are well equipped and much clean.

    It serves its purpose - sleep, take a shower, go out - so you can't exactly give a bad review for that. Everything was exactly as described. It's actually pretty nice place to stay for 1-2 days, I wouldn't recommend it for longer. Just keep in mind that literally every other hostel in Cyprus offers more for the same price. Host is not helpful, he'd rather not talk to you at all since he doesn't really speak English. It's alright though, he's there only to let you check in and that's it. They charge you for stuff that is free everywhere else - a towel, late check in, a locker. Unlike the other hostels, there are no tips, recommendations, maps etc. Not only you have to pay/ bring your own towel, you need to carry it every time with you to the bathroom since there are no paper towels. Lockers are too small to fit anything there anyway, at least in my room. Most beds have curtains. Everything was cleanish. Like clean enough but not clean enough to stay there for the whole week. Rooms were clean, kitchen and bathrooms were so-so. Water pressure sometimes is so low, showering will take you ages if you have really long hair. Location is rather good, walking distance from Marina. And I couldn't pay through booking, they took only cash which is a shame.

    Spacious, tady and comfortable stay. I was here in December, there were warm blankets, clean place. It is a hostel but also has private rooms with shared facilities. It is good value for money (I paid 28 euros, 2 people, 1 night, private room).

    Really awesome place to stay! Comfortable and with good facilities and friendly hosts!

  • 5/5 Kasia L. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome location, very central, takes minutes to all the important places. Next to it a shop and restaurants. In the hostel is a terrace, a breakfast room, kitchen, rooms with balconies. My room.was very comfy. There weren't any lockers, but I felt save to leave my stuff there. The staff was helpful and the owners heartwarmingly friendly. It's an affordable place which is developing. I'm excited to come back!

    It has WiFi, clean beds and bathrooms. Other than that it is a rather uninspiring and shabby place, you can stay if there is no alternative, but nothing you want to remember in life. 16€ per night.

    Spent few days there in the end of May, 2022 The owner is very friendly, kind. The location is very good in my opinion! What I missed: a cleaner staff/ person would be VERY much needed there, on a daily basis.

  • 5/5 Oswaldo L. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a really good experience at this hostel. The owners Kosta was extremely friendly. The food at the restaurant that they have next doors for the guest was delicious. Highly recommend them.

  • 5/5 Franco B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience! The owner allowed me to get in at 12 in the night after a bad experience in nycosia the same night, they offer PayPal or card payments method , super kind , clean, good and cheap, and the breakfast for 3 euros it’s great! Definitely recommended. Thank you for all!

    Good, cheap and clean hostel. A great place to meed friendly people. It has a nice rooftop bar, and the owners are very friendly and nice.

  • 5/5 Tilda H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly, helpful and nice staff and cozy place to stay in for cheap price! It is possible to get only female room and mine was empty when I arrived, so I got it all for myself:) Also possible to get breakfast in the morning! Thank you!

  • 2/5 Antonio M. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s the cheapest hostel in town. Great location and fantastic rooftop. However, it’s literally a big flat with several bunkbeds. With 20+ guests and only 2 bathrooms (shower and toilet together) you can imagine it’s not ideal. Also sockets are lacking. In my room we had only 2 sockets for 6 people.

    Charged €4 for late check in but otherwise fine 😊

  • 5/5 Sander Klein B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place! Met a lot of nice people here. The beds are simple and a bit shaky but you'll get a good night sleep. They have storage lockers for your valuables.

  • 4/5 Birk Clemens R. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 d3t m. 3 years ago on Google
    Stayed in Cyprus for 2 weeks, and during that time, most of the country has been travelled through (excluding the northern part); I can firmly say, that Hostel Past or Tail was the best accomodation in the country, if not the best hostel I've been to in Europe. The quality of service in all of the categories: -Facilities, -Comfort, -Cleanliness, -Location, -Staff, have been superb, especially considering such a low price. I recommend this hostel to anyone planning on visiting Cyprus. Thanks to Konstantin and his family for their warmth.

    Best hostel I’ve stayed at in Cyprus, Costa and Aliona were really friendly and the hostel had great vibes! We also had amazing weekend barbecues. Best spot to stay in when you come as places like Ayia Napa and Nicosia are only an hour away.

  • 4/5 Dani M. 2 years ago on Google
    Pros: Great location and affordable prices. Cons: Beds are not comfortable and to improve cleaning in common areas.

  • 4/5 C S. 2 years ago on Google
    Location is nice. It's a bit messy and I was gutted Aircon was not in use and windows open without fly screen. Decent vibe

👍👍 Great place. The house is absolutely amazing, vintage style, very authentic. The kitchen is well equipped and a nice place for people to meet and talk. The garden too.and the double room is just so coquette and lovely! So worth the money. Plus, it is located exactly in the city center, in the middle...
