Directions

Dear guests,

Keep walking straight and stop at the intersection called 'Makedonia' square (площад Македония).
Landmark when you are there is a tall building on your left with 'Mtel' sign at its top.
At the intersection turn right and you will see a 'Win Bet' casino and a 'Post Bank' office. Right after the bank there is a small metal door with a Hostel Mostel sign on it. Ring the bell, we will open the door for you. Walk through the arcade and you will see our traditional building with a wooden terrace.
