I I liked that the interior design was thought out in the smallest details, details that make a difference in comfort. For example, even the room was little, it was enough becouse it was very very smart decorated. There was even a little hanger to put my purse. And other different hangers for clothes. In bathroom, there is a little place in the shower to put safe your towel, something like a niche with a door. And everything is very, very clean, even the bath in the apartment is commune to other rooms.

This hostel has a friendly vibe, great surroundings, and a super nice staff that’s all about making your stay enjoyable. It’s just a quick stroll to the metro and tram station, so getting to the city sights is a breeze. Plus, with a flexible check-in policy, you can settle in whenever you're ready.

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.

It's a second time I've stayed in a private room. The rooms a kinda small and basic but cozy. There are some other options to stay around with the same price. But if you wanna get the balance of the privacy and hostel atmosphere to meet other travellers - this is the best choice! The private rooms are located at 5 minutes walk from the reception and common area, that's fine. Good breakfast. Nice friendly stuff! Location is also great. The main attractions in the walking distance. There a many supermarkets, fast food and cafes at affordable prices near by.

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.

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!
