Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hostel is in a central, convenient location. Facilities are fine. The common room has a nice balcony on the corner of the street There are not enough lockers for every bed. That was the only area where there could be improvement

Gossip
It's quite easy to notice tou got no privacy as staff keeps an eye on every single conversation people have. It could be a great hostel if it was not for an excess of curiosity.

Quite good
The bad thing is that the staff keeps paying attention to what guests are doing and listening to their conversations and that you cannot lock the bathroom door. Other than that, it's a great hostel. I'd stay here again.

Central location
The place has no SIGN, so it’s a bit hard to find. Aside from that it’s in good and central location near Metro and Tram. The place is clean and friendly staff.

Will stay here next time in Sofia also
Cant say anything bad about this. It has a perfect location, in the centre with equal walking time both to Nevski Cathedral and Bus station. Around the corner is a gigantic and very busy Lidl shop, so you can find groceries there. There is a guest kitchen, towels provided, rfid chip for entering the door provided (against deposit), comfy beds, electric outlet at each bed, etc. There are no lockers however, but as the hostel is small, I find it still very safe.

Une série d' Imprévus. Cet hôtel a respecté son process et a pu répondre à des exigences face à une situation malhonnête de l hôtel concurrent que j'avais réservé à la rue Budapest. Merci à l équipe.
