Hostel u Kmity offers a clean and cozy accommodation choice but it does have its limitations. The rooms, while consistently praised for their cleanliness, are generally small and can feel cramped, especially in the dorms and rooms designed for multiple guests. Despite their size, the rooms are equipped with basic amenities such as lockable cabinets and comfortable beds, though the comfort of the beds received mixed reviews.
The bathrooms at the hostel are notably well-maintained and modern, maintaining high standards of cleanliness, which guests appreciated. Some rooms, particularly those close to communal areas like the kitchen, can be subject to noise and issues like thin walls and imperfect insulation add to the potential disturbances.
Heating in the rooms can be inconsistent with some guests finding their rooms quite cold even when heaters are provided. Additionally, rooms often lack some elements, such as curtains, mirrors and proper shelving, which can impact the overall comfort. The hostel's location above a restaurant also means that some rooms experience noise from the street or the establishment below.

Guest reviews frequently highlight that the beds are notably comfortable with some describing them as cozy and clean.

However, not all feedback is positive. Some guests found issues with creaky beds and thin mattresses, while others felt that certain mattresses were saggy or deformed. In particular, the mattress in room 3 has been mentioned as needing replacement and some beds were reported to be shaky and noisy.

Despite these negatives, many guests still reported a restful night, thanks to the overall comfort of the beds.
