Excellent Stay at Hostel Nr. 1 ThI’d like to share my positive experience at Hostel Nr. 1. Despite many house rules, the atmosphere was peaceful and well-managed. A senior Russian-speaking lady, with limited English, handled everything efficiently using voice translation—her dedication was admirable. The bathroom and WC were exceptionally clean and always stocked with toilet paper. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the balcony with three chairs offered a lovely touch. High-speed internet worked perfectly, and even hidden areas like under the bed were spotless. It was the best hostel for restful sleep, with no noise or unwanted interaction. A true haven of calm.

A very cozy hostel with functional kitchen and a large common room. Multiple showers and toilets in each floor. The hostel organizes events including free pancake day. The 80s windbreaker guy at the reception is super. Even if it is not specific to the hostel: Sofia tap water tastes absolutely amazing.

I like that they booked me a single bed... the new building is spacious, Im glad they booked me there since the main hostel is already full. The new building is quiet, there is no lounge where you stay. I Like that since I am just travelling for few days so I needed a place to stay.

People are incredibly spoiled. They want to pay only 10 euros and sleep in the city center, almost in the pedestrian zone, and if possible get a jacuzzi in the room for that money. We read the comments carefully before booking these rooms. They're not perfect, but they're far better than the reviews we've read. That is why we will give this accommodation a score of 10 to improve their score. :) Greetings from Serbia.

All hostels in Sofia

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

One of the best hostels I have been to. Clean kitchen and rooms, always smiling and very helpful staff. Just in a walk distance from railway/bus station, near the hostel there is two shops where you can buy food and cook in the hostels kitchen. There is a cheap laundry room. If I come once to Sofia again, I will just stay there! Recommending this place absolutely!

This is a very old school hostel. As an old school backpacker I don’t mind the style but don’t expect any modern installations you would get in Western Europe and American hostels. If you’re okay with that, it’s a great place to meet new people and it has a great location to explore the city. I stayed in a bedroom in an apartment they have next door which was great for me since it was quieter and I could work from there without noise.

This propert has two things going for it. Firstly it is located right in the centre of Sofia very close to Serdika metro. Secondly it is very cheap (but be warned that you get what you pay for). It might suit backpackers on a very tight budget where cost is the main priority.

One of the best hostels I have stayed so far! It is well equipped, gives you a decent amount of privacy and super clean. The bed, the pillow and the duvet are comfortable, and the hostel in general is very quiet so you can really rest. While some people prefer "party hostels", I am an introvert and I really do appreciate hostels like this. So if you are like me, you will love Green Cube hostel. The vending machine at the reception is also a GREAT IDEA! It had a very good and cheap coffee.

I loved this hostel, very new as only opened recently, completely worth the price and the best hostel in the area. It offers low bed numbers in the rooms meaning less noise, curtains for privacy, kitchen and common areas and some very friendly staff happy to give the extra effort and care to the people staying at this hostel. If you would like to come to Sofia and stay on a budget this is the place to be!
