The hostel's rooms receive mixed feedback. While some guests appreciate the clean, spacious and comfortable accommodations, others feel that the rooms need modernization and renovation.

Hostel Villa Viva receives mixed reviews regarding its cleanliness with some guests praising its spotless conditions. However, a significant number of reviews note issues such as a calcified kettle, cobwebs and a pervasive smell of smoke and mold. Many describe an overall dirty impression, citing dust under the bed, hair and dirt in the sink and shower, as well as dirty floors. Several guests found the communal bathrooms particularly unclean and the general environment run-down. The hostel's condition appears neglected with broken window panes and outdated facilities, contributing to an impression that the place needs renovation. Some reviewers also mentioned the discomfort caused by musty smells and stained bed linens. While there are positive mentions of clean and tidy areas, the prevailing sentiment highlights a significant disparity in cleanliness standards.
Hostel Villa Viva presents a mixed experience when it comes to its staff.

The owner, often described as very nice and highly responsive, actively addressed inquiries and even allowed early check-ins at no extra cost.

Some reviews further pointed out instances of rudeness and unfriendliness from the staff, detracting from the overall experience.

The internet signal seems to be weak, likely due to the router's placement. Some guests also noted a lack of clear information regarding Wi-Fi access and passwords. Despite a few functional moments, it seems the hostel's internet provision could be improved.
