My wife & I, who are in our early 70s & normally stay at B&Bs (pensions), saw that Lary "Hostel" had a private room with double bed & nearby private bathroom & reserved it for 2 nights - before & after our scheduled tour of the Painted Monasteries of Bucovina. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet peacefulness of its edge-of-town location & the rustic view looking across a valley from the deck where our meals were served. The physical facilities were very adequate (clean & spacious). The meals (we requested both breakfast & dinner both days) were Delicious, inexpensive & made mostly from natural foods, many being grown by the owner in her garden & orchard. But the best part is yet to be mentioned. The owner was our favorite hostess of the many we had on a 3+ week trip. Larisa possesses a warm, friendly, outgoing personality that made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. Even tho her English is somewhat limited, she could not have been more helpful - even phoning a translator on a couple occasions. When it came time for us to depart, Larisa sent us off with a hug & a sack of fruit from her orchard. We could not have had a more enjoyable 2 day stay & would not...

Read moreI staid in Lary Youth Hostel because after I started with Irene's...I wanted to try this one too.||||Even from the start this "Hostel" looked more of a pension, of a home..and this made me feel good.||||The staff, de facto owners were very kind giving me a lot of attention and trying to make me feel wanted there.||The place was very clean and very good-looking.||||The room I stayed in was very spacious, I had a wardrobe and a doublebed just for me so I had a very comfortable sleep.||||They gave me breakfast and tea along with many tips on Suceava and the Bucovina region.||The second day they helped me get to the city in order to continue my travel plans.||||If I ever go to Bucovina again, then I will make a stop at Lary Hostel.||||The fact that they have high-speed wasn't really of interest for me because I wanted to get disconnected from anything else but Bucovina :D||||P.S. The only disadvantage of the place is the location which is actually a bit further away from the train station than it looks on the map but I think is worth the...
