Sofia Hostels

This is a great new hostel concept for Sofia and Bulgaria. Its nice to have a fully enclosed bed (with curtain) which add to privacy, when sharing a room (dorm) with 4 other travellers Furthermore there are several lighting options within the actual bed area full and dime lightening, However, I was allocated a top bed in the dorm, I did find it hard at first to get in and out. Perhaps I am just too old for the hostel concept! - No seriously, it was very good for a hostel. The room was air-conditioned and seemed to work well. Great exchange with fellow travellers in my room, the benefits of staying in a hostel. Our external bathroom, was directly opposite with several showers and toilets. However, one facility was out of order. There are two different kitchens on different levels. I checked in at the allocated time - at first there seemed to be some problem with the reservation. I had prepaid my reservation, though Trip.com, but the vast majority of travellers use hostelworld.com, which only require a deposit, with the remaining payment given at the hostel. This created some confusion at check-inn. The hostel is very close to the main railway and bus station (10 min walk). However, this hostel is quite far from the main tourism zones and sights of Sofia, which is about 45 to 50 walk. However, there a several trams & buses to get you there - maybe little a bit confusing for first time Sofia traveller. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel.

I arrived a little earlier than the check-in time, but I was happy to welcome you. Although it is a guest house, there is a room for each person, and there is a bathroom in the room, so you can protect your private life firmly. There is a communal kitchen where you can drink coffee and tea freely and cook a little. The location was just right because it was close to the center! I would like to use it if I go to Bulgaria again.

Kitchen is equipped with two refrigerators and rules are written clearly. Well run by staff and they are very helpful to us. Very busy hostel, maybe because they have many rooms. Recommended for budget traveler who want a clean place. Cleaner does the cleaning in daily basis and she did great job.

The stay in Sofia was customary. The location of the accommodation is perfect, very close to the city centre and the metro station. The staff was nice and premature and accessible for questions. The accommodation is secured by a pincode outside. The rooms are OK, you have beds, a closet and a water cooker. We couldn't find a kitchen personally, but should there be. The water in the showers was warm, so plus point. However, for example, the window did not close and it was a little colder. Check-in went easy, you also got clothes and shampoo, but at check-out no one was at the reception. Our biggest problem was that the walls are very noisy. We woke up by 4.30 because it was sooo noisy in the corridor (probably drunk co-inhabitants) and it sounded like the scenario was directly in our room. Conclusion: feasible but habitual -＞ for 1/2 nights okay, but longer I wouldn't feel well there. Wonderfully, no one woman saw there. LG

Good to stAy for budget travellers,cannot expect too much for the price
