The hostel is very clean, and I had a good night’s sleep there. All the staff are very kind, and the atmosphere is great, with music playing and people interacting with each other. Unfortunately, I arrived late, so I missed the chance to join in and meet new people.

Mostel was awesome! Incredible location, guys from the reception were super friendly and also really helpful when needed. The common room is enormous and ideal to meet other people. The hostel provides codes to enter every area and of course the room you're staying in, so it's really safe as well. The room I stayed in was spacious and the beds had a lot of privacy, each having their own curtains. Totally recommend it!!

Everything was perfect, from the room itself to the friendliness of the saff, the location is extremely central and has a lot of public transport access nearby. The private rooms are indeed private and in a separate location from the reception building, but access to said building is still available anytime for those who want to have both privacy and the hostel vibe, 1000/10 would recommend anytime

Nice warm family atmosphere, Zlata is very nice and supports me when needed. I enjoy staying in a hostel, and I did not feel isolation, as in the hotel. Very good price and flexible. Nearby, walking distance are shops Lidl - 5 min walk, and Bulgaria Mall - 27 min. Walk. I can cook my own food in the kitchen, and keep it in the fridge. I really relax there.

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!
