We like the position of the hostel directly on the river, the view toward Kalemegdan and the green view toward the big war island, the breakfast, the staff, the hostel architecture, everything was nice, the apartment on the ground floor in glass and the lock. I would like to come back again.

We were landing in Belgrade at 5am so I made the reservation the night before so we can check in when we arrived at our hotel around 6am and sleep until checkout at 11am. I messaged the hotel that night to let them know we’d be arriving at the hotel around 6am to sleep only a few hours after a night flight. We get to the hotel at 6:30am but reception didn’t open until 8am. We were so tired and sleep deprived we walked over next door and their reception was open and they had rooms Available so we ended up staying there a few hours instead. I paid ArkaBarka $65 for nothing and then still paid $55 next door to sleep only 3 hours if that! Ugh

Amazing Hotel, Not easies Location, Cash Only

It is an amazing place with incredible views and great team working there. The shortcommings are: it is a 10 minutes walking distance from the parking area and there is no service to assist with luggage - should improve because we were walking with kids in the pooring rain. The surprise was at the check out - I booked pay at the hotel option - they accept only cash - no credit card (still cannot believe) and Hotel.com was useless in assisting. The problem is there is no ATM close by.....and I had to pay for two rooms and four days...that event turned me off and therefore would not recommend the stay at Arka. Also, I would recommend staying in downtown considering transportation to/from. Again, candy box on the Danube with cash based business model.

Your cab will drop you off on the other side of a park that you have to cross to get to the hotel. The views at the hotel are amazing and the staff is so friendly. The part I didn’t like was the wooden floorboards in the shower were wobbly and could also be heard throughout the hotel. I liked the hotel for the overall experience though

The location right on the Danube is incredibly charming and the staff were very pleasant, however the accommodations for a family were cramped in comparison to a typical hotel room and the room was damp, to the point of the bedding being moist all night long and my book pages wrinkled. Probably fine for the hostel it is meant to be, but for the price of an "apartment room" a family would be much more comfortable and less damp in a hotel room or apartment on land.

Breakfast on the river.

The barge is on the water which was lovely to have breakfast by, but there are mosquitos at night. My room was upgraded for free which was kind of them, but the AC only worked as a fan, not a cooler, and overlooked the entrance walkway, which was noisy when people arrive at 5am, and many people not respecting normal sleep times by being quiet when returning from a night out. The common room was large and comfortable and overlooked the water. Bikes available for use, but I didn't partake as I was happy walking everywhere. Close to newly opened Museum of Contemporary Arts. The New Belgrade area has a very relaxed, open feel compared to Belgrade proper and was a great start to my visit in Serbia.
