    I recently had a wonderful stay at a charming and cozy hostel in a great location. Access was easy with a distributor providing an access key. the staff was friendly and always ready to help. the property was beautifully decorated and the room was spacious and clean. I loved that each bed came with a headphone. the bathroom was clean with hot water and good pressure. my experience at Viva was excellent. Cons: Couldn't find any faults at all. 👍.

    During my recent stay over Christmas, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this hostel. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, always willing to assist when needed. The location was perfect, just a short walk from both the train station and the charming old town. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the facilities, from the rooms to the bathrooms. It was a comfortable and warm environment, providing a cozy atmosphere during the festive season.

    There were a few aspects that could be improved. I was disappointed that there was no access to a kitchen.

    I stayed at Viva for three nights during my visit to the city. The location is perfect, just a short walk away from the city center and the train/bus station. The check-in process was seamless - I received the access code via email, picked up my keys from the post box, and the fee was already charged to my credit card. The hostel itself is very clean, with separate and spacious showers for men and women. I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the helpfulness of the manager, who was always available to answer any questions I had.

    I would recommend this hotel.

    The value for money at this hostel was great and the room wassuper clean and cozy. The location was convenient, being close to both the train station and downtown.

    The hotel breakfast menu could use some improvement, maybe adding more variety or options.

    I recently stayed at Viva Hostel in Chur for a few nights and had a fantastic experience. The location was perfect, just a short 15-minute walk from the train station and close to the old town. The rooms were beautifully decorated and cozy, providing a comfortable stay. The lack of reception was not an issue as access was easy with the key code provided. The lady at the reception was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made me feel welcome. The hostel also offered great views from the open windows, and the noise level was surprisingly low Sunday to Wednesday.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    For the price I paid, I got great value. The room was cozy and I had a good rest. The location was convenient and the staff were helpful and responsive.

    Breakfast items could be improved. It would be nice to have more options besides just finding whatever is available in the kitchen.

    We had a seamless self-check-in process, making our arrival stress-free. The hostel's location in the heart of the old town was perfect for exploring the area. The staff was responsive and helpful, providing assistance through WhatsApp even during late hours. Despite the noise from the nearby nightclub, the cleanliness of the hostel stood out, our comfort.

    Spacious Rooms: My stay at the hostel was like having my own mini apartment. The rooms were so roomy, it felt like I had my own personal dance floor!
