I thoroughly enjoyed my 1 week stay at Kasbari. I have stayed in numerous hostels but never a co-living / working hostel. The atmosphere was superb - very relaxed, felt like you were truly 'living' with friends rather than just visiting. There are 2 kitchens and multiple toilets / showers on each floor. I was lucky enough to stay in the downstairs dorm room which contained 3 single beds (not bunks) - very comfy beds, clean and adequate storage space for bags. I understand Kasbari do their best to make the ground floor for girls only if possible which I appreciate, during my stay I shared my room with only girls. The house also includes a beautiful roof terrace, book swap, boards games, lockers, indoor dining space and a second terrace with table tennis, washing machines (circa 5euro per wash), dining table etc. We often sat together and played card games in the evening. Other activities such as a free potluck dinner night (Wednesdays) and yoga (circa 10euro) were available throughout the week too. A WhatsApp group helped everyone keep in touch and arrange to socialise. Next door, the co-working space was magical with an outdoor seating area for calls, private meeting room, kitchen, toilet / shower and indoor space with plug sockets for working. I enjoyed getting work done with others around me and the Wifi worked flawlessly throughout the building. Location is great, close to local shops and some excellent lunch / coffee spots such as Smoothieland / Hey Yallah. If I was forced to identify one area for improvement, it would be to add some shelves / hooks in the shower rooms for your towels / clothes ;) I wouldn't hesitate to return to Kasbari - thanks for a lovely stay <3
