    Liked : Really nice communal area particularly the large bed platform

    Liked : 2nd Stay. If you like hostels, you love it. It has a real nice lobby vibe, you can meet and talk to real human beingd, and I like the quiet of the annex buildings down the street.

    Amazing 🤗

    Liked : I liked that there was no noise in the room, everything was clean, and the bed was comfortable. I also liked the fact that they made sure guests had a great experience touring the city. One guy named Marco🤗 was super amazing he took us to nice bars at night, we got free shots, and we had a good laugh the whole time😊. If you are a solo traveler, this place is perfect. It is also located in the city center.🫠

    Nice budget hostel in Sofia city center

    Liked : Good hospitality of owners, English-speaking receptionists and staff, cleaniness, relative comfort if you can say this to any hostel-like experience. I stayed in 6-bed dormitory, but it was a mixed one (men+women), so overall it was calm during nights. Great location in city center. Parking is free.

    Disliked : Nothing I can think of. Just be aware that sometimes you may see many people next to you, who may be loud or stinky, especially night-time.
