This hostel no longer exists. Both phone numbers don't work. I waited outside at night 10pm, trying to get in. Please delist them, and reimburse

A hostel in need, is a hostel indeed.

Very friendly staff which makes you feel welcomed anytime.

The rooms are clean, also the bathroom.

Nice warm showers available with hairdryer included.

Nevertheless, the coffee is on the house.

The location is great, near Downtown, Unirii Square. You also have neighbourhood shops in the near by of the location.

Free to use kitchen appliences, great garden in the back.

Free wi-fi and multiple electrical sockets available in every room.

Thank you Dana and Francois for the warm welcoming.

Best regards!

awesome place with welcoming staff and a great, hippie-bohemian-backpacker atmosphere ( especially the garden and terrace but the inside is cool, colorful and full of life too), will definately return here when I come to Timisoara! :)

I never leave any comments but my memory of hostelcostel really deserve it. After a day of travel it was like emerging in a fairyland. The place is made for you to feel comfortable and open yourself, for three night and four day i just had a taste of heaven in my mouth (and of Țuică maybe)

It’s a nice place, but the vibe was not for me. The dorms were a little hot at night, and I didn’t like that both the toilets and showers were multi-person, so there was no privacy anywhere. I also got bitten a lot by mosquitos at night.

Location is a reasonable walk from the historic center. Tram stop is a short walk away, and from here you can get to the main station without change. Staff members are great! Very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here next time in Timisoara.

I've been in multiple hostels, but this is the best one yet. Beautiful place and garden. The staff is really relaxed and nice as well. Besides that is the hostel cheap and is the location good.

Hostel Costel has very much become a dorm. Was great in the past but with each visit it seems to leave a worse and worse impression. Woken up several times in the night due to sounds of puking, farting and yelling and had to personally tell people to keep it down.Didn't even get a key for my private room this time. This is not a place where young travellers meet anymore, but a dorm for unmanered students.

well...sorry for your experience. It does happend to have different groups and sometimes they are out of control. Unfortunately we just cant choose the guests - we can only try to attract the ones that are cool. Things changed a lot in the meantime ;)

A nice old house (building), quiet street not too far away from the centre, clean rooms, comfortable beds, helpful stuff. Only there should be more showers. I would go there again.
