Sustainable hostel? Yes!

During the construction of Tetris, a number of well researched practices have been adopted so that we could be considered a sustainable hostel. The practices directly influence the functions of the hostel and can be recognized.

What’s the difference?

There are several differences between a sustainable hostel and one that isn’t. We feel that it’s just as important to respect the environment as we do our guests. Therefore, the adoption of these responsibilities requires commitment to the well-being and sense of community.
