Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this hostel won't work – pets are not permitted on site.
- Check-in window closes at 23:00 — Arrivals must be between 14:00 and 23:00, so late-night flights or buses could be a problem if you can't make it in time.
- No on-site parking listed — There's no mention of parking at the hostel, so if you're driving you'll need to find public parking nearby – which in Old Town Lviv can be tricky.
- Small windowless room option — The budget 'Small Without Window Double Room' has no window, which some travellers find stuffy or disorienting.

Ideal location close to sights and lively streets, but noise-free with windows closed. The well-equipped kitchen saved money. The staff were chatty and well travelled; I loved picking their brains.”

9.2Verified guest“I stayed at Cossacks in the heart of Lviv for a few nights. The location was perfect, just steps from Rynok Square and the Opera House. The staff were friendly and accommodating, letting us store our luggage after check-out. The room was clean and comfortable, with a spacious queen bed and blackout curtains for a restful sleep. I also enjoyed the local music channel on the TV – a fun way to get into the culture. There was even a 24/7 store with hot meals right by the entrance.”
