“Stayed a few nights at Hotel Republica. Rooms were spacious and clean, bathrooms well-maintained. The hostel has a warm, charming vibe and an excellent location, in a freshly renovated old building. Beds were stable, though a bit small for taller folks. Breakfast was great, and they even prepared it early for my early check-out. I left a small electronic device and they kindly offered to send it to me. Awesome stay.”
