About
Ostriv Hostel - Lviv
Ostriv Hostel sits on Vytvera Street, about a 6-minute walk from the Museum of Ideas and close to the Palace of Biesyadetskikh. With 76 rooms spread across a 2-star setup, it's a practical base for exploring Lviv's old town and beyond. The hostel is part of a building that's seen better days but has been fitted with modern comforts like soundproofed rooms, flat-screen TVs, and heating — a mix of old bones and new amenities.
The social side is a big part of the appeal. There's a shared kitchen that's well-equipped, a leisure/TV room, board games, and a dedicated game room, all geared toward guest interaction. Free coffee and tea are available on every floor, and the hostel also offers laundry services, luggage storage, and a locker room. The 24-hour reception and express check-in/out make arrivals and departures hassle-free. Note that smoking and pets are not allowed on site.

Showers have separate cubicles with room for clothes. The kitchen is big and well-stocked, and you can leave your bags free after checkout.”
