Find Your Jabuka Hotels

The owner is very welcoming and friendly. The room is not big. It is very clean. Check out and put the key directly in the report box. There is a very large farmer’s market across the road. There is a fish shop that is very good.

The hotel was such rude service from the owner. It’s clear this business is under the table as there is no sign so you don’t know if you are in the right place, and you HAVE to pay in cash. She made us go to an atm to get cash, and then used an exchange rate which wasn’t on a global exchange to convert the euros to dinar. The check in is impossible as there is no check in desk and no one on the property, so we didn’t know how to check in. Even the taxi driver didn’t know where this location was. It also said it was a sea side view room, but there is nothing nearby to this hotel, it’s on a backroad of an industrial looking area. You can’t see the sea or city from this hotel. Really not a good location, and I wish they would have told us beforehand that you need to pay cash and can’t pay with card, even when booking on third party platforms. We also didn’t know that all bathrooms are shared, so each floor has 2-4 bathrooms that you need to share with the whole floor. We came to check in at 1:30 and our room also wasn’t ready, maybe because no one was at the property. All around confused by this hotel doing shady tax business,and not happy with the rudeness from staff

Positive: Good restaurant and bar on the roof terrace in the 9. Etage (on the weekend with life music, what I didn't hear in my room in the 1st floor), free parking, good Wifi, good breakfast, faster check-in and check-out, relatively quiet room (despite main traffic road) Neutral: Double bed consists of 2 single beds with medium-hard mattress Negative: during my stay the AC did not work, so it became very warm in the room. Although you could alternatively open the window, it was very loud. Furthermore, the blinking advertisers disturbed the window. About 2,5 km to the center (ca. 40 minutes walk, taxis are difficult to get, but there is also a tram driving, could not find where due to language problems ...)

Stayed here for 4 nights in the mixed dorm. Check in was pretty straightforward and all the staff needed was my passport. I was shown the kitchen, then to my room on the 1st floor. The floor has a common area, two bathrooms with toilets, plus one outside sink. I counted about 20 beds in 3 dorms, one each for boys and girls only, and one for mixed. The dorm is very clean, as are the beds. The sheets and bedding smelled nice and fresh. Each bed has a private light, an electrical socket, two shelves and a privacy curtain. Mattresses were comfortable. Even though the windows were kept open and typical of spring weather, the duvets felt very warm. Each bed also comes with a designated locker and is large enough to fit even the largest backpacks. The locker comes with a key, as well as a passcard for entry into the floor and reception area. The dorm also has several different modes of lighting and at night everyone is really respectful, keeping the lights down and quiet. The kitchen has cooking stoves, a microwave, filtered water dispenser, is well stocked with cooking utensils, plates, cutlery and cups. There’s about 5 chairs arranged in the breakfast table style. The staff are zealous in keeping the kitchen clean and clearing away washed dishes. This hostel has the cleanest and best stocked kitchen I’ve ever used. It’s cleaner and better stocked than some houses I’ve been in. The hostel is located in a residential area. Location wise, this hostel is off the tourist trail and public transport is the only realistic way for getting to/from the sights. The hostel is popular with Russians, some of whom are long term stayers. So the place doesn’t have the same hostel feel as others, but that’s not a major problem. Overall, I had an excellent stay. Everything and everywhere in the hostel is organised, clean and tidy. The lack of bathrooms could be difficult at times. Two bathrooms for my floor wasn’t a lot even though the hostel wasn’t full. There can be a bit of a queue, especially in the morning. In the hostel’s defence, there is a private bathroom on the same floor and the staff allow the guests to use it when possible.
