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.

The room was very comfortable and warm, with heaters and A.C. provided. Towels and bottled water were also available. The common areas had free coffee, tea, snacks, and cozy seating, making it feel like home. The location near the city center was perfect for exploring. Highly recommend!

It was nice that there were rest areas and spaces for eating and cooking on the upper floor. There were showers and restrooms on each floor, so it was spacious and nice. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was that it was true that there was still a lot of time left until check-in, but I didn't understand why the reception didn't let me sit in the spacious rest area. After just storing my bags and walking around the streets for a while, I arrived back there and they helped me check in right on time.

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
