Greetings from L'viv, the new frontier of free Europe
Australian owned and operated, The Kosmonaut Hostel is a tribute to those who dare to explore new frontiers.
Our philosophy? Simple. Free breakfast, free washing powder, free washing machine, free filtered water, free tea and coffee, free internet, free wi-fi! Our listed price includes everything! Our exceptionally pleasant and helpful staff work 8 hour shifts (not 24!) and are ready to assist you with local information, ticket purchasing and any other advice.
Check out our floor-plan in the photos section! See our spacious dormitories, multiple bathrooms, reception-lounge, kitchen-lounge and reading room. There's over 220 square meters of 'space' to enjoy at The Kosmonaut!
We have 12, 10, 6 and 4 bed dormitories, plus one private room with two single beds, with shared bathroom facilities. Our rooms are furnished with brand new steel Ikea bunks, mattresses and linen. We also offer a private room with en-suite bathroom, microwave and double bed.
Our Kitchen and Common Rooms are huge, fully functional and open all hours. We have an enormous and welcoming kitchen table, couches, computer with free internet and wi-fi access, coffee-machine, microwave, hotplate, fridge, free water cooler, and a selection of board-games and books to keep you occupied in the evening. Customers can also enjoy a vast array of Soviet paraphernalia and other antiques and collectibles which give our hostel a 'museum' like appeal you can touch!
