"360 stepeni" - hostel for both adventurers and managers

Hostel "360 stepeni" (360 degrees) has recently been opened in 21 Knez Mihailova Street in Belgrade. This hostel has, so far, hosted about 100 backpackers. Starting autumn, services of this hostel will also be used by the people who come to the capital city of Serbia for business meetings.

- We had several guests in hostel "360 stepeni" who came to Belgrade for business, but we now want to start cooperation with more companies whose associates from abroad or from the provinces can be accommodated by our hostel. We have recently established contact with a large foreign company whose regional managers would be coming to our hostel. Accommodation of businessmen in hostels is becoming more and more popular at the time of the financial crisis. We are going to enrich our offer with breakfast starting autumn - Dejan Marković, the Manager of "360 stepeni", told "eKapija".

Unusual name of this hostel has its roots in the economics.

- '360 degrees' in the economics is a comprehensive view of business and management of the company. The matter should be looked into from all perspectives, the problem should be approached from all sides, one must think of others as much as of oneself. The work of some manager is appraised by his or her superiors, as well as by the people from outside the company. That can be expanded to a comprehensive view of the world, and, as far as our hostel is concerned, it is a broader view of both Belgrade and travels – Marković explains.

He says that all the guests who have been staying in the hostel are surprised with the location. Space in the very center of Belgrade is rented and turned into a hostel, and about 15,000 EUR was invested in reconstruction works.

Hostel "360 stepeni" has one one-bed room, three two-bed rooms, one three-bed room, one four-bed room, one five-bed room and one eight-bed room. All rooms have wireless Internet. The guests of the hostel have 2 bathrooms, kitchen, laundry room, and living room with 2 computers connected to high-speed Internet at their disposal. In addition, the hostel also offers free use of voIP phone, as well as free coffee and tea. "360 stepeni" has a balcony at 25 square meters.

The price of overnight stay in the eight-bed room is 15 EUR, while the night in a one-bed room costs 29 EUR. Rental of whole two-bed room in that hostel costs 44 EUR per night.

- For the time being, guests are usually coming to hostel "360 stepeni" after they booked the room on international websites. Our website will be finished soon, and the possibility of online booking will be introduced by the end of August – the Manager of that hostel announced.

The offer of hostel "360 stepeni" includes the sightseeing tour of Belgrade, biking tour to Ada, tracking tours of Fruška Gora and Vršački Breg, clubbing tours, Serbian language classes, home cinema projections, visit to Vinča, and other tours requested by guests.

- All our previous guests were visiting Belgrade for the first time. Some of them stay here for one day, while others stay for 5 or 6 days, but all of them leave Serbia with great impressions - said Marković.
