The Kosmonaut has become Lviv’s most popular hostel for one simple reason: Aussie owner Eddie and his staff genuinely care about each and every guest. The enthusiasm they exude for their city is infectious. They know all the hotspots and never hesitate to let you in on where to go and what to do. You’re sure to find yourself in the company of a fascinating and eclectic crowd of fellow travellers. We sat down for the complementary breakfast of baked apple, tea and toast and quickly found ourselves swapping life stories with two Peace Corps volunteers, a Dutch pensioner, an “AWOL” American soldier, two stranded Russian journalists and a Croat in town to find a Geiger counter. Accommodation options include 12, 10, 6 and 4 bed dormitories and one private room. A communal kitchen, free Internet and Wi-Fi and laundry are also available.

  The Kosmonaut was perfect... Friendly staff, great atmosphere and facilities. Rough edges but still a diamond! Shelly UK
