First of all I have to mention that stuff working at hostel was generous and attentive. I booked for one night but soon I decided to extend my stay because room was clean, kitchen was clean and nice, bathroom was also clean and spacious. Additionally, each bed has curtains to keep private and a room I stayed had a AC(this was amazing in hot Sofia) . One last thing. I was taking a night train and needed a place to wait. Usually check-out is strict however, I was allowed to use everything such as fridge, WiFi, sofa, table here. So helpful. I definitely recommend you to choose this hostel when you go to Sofia.

I loved this place and the atmosphere. The guys at the reception were very nice and helpful. The girls in my room were very respectful, I was lucky. Also, the place was very centric and the idea of the hostel about being a quite hostel was the best option for me, as I wanted to sleep and have plenty of time to visit the city during the day.

I booked a private room with a private washroom, located about a 10-minute walk from the main hostel building. While the exterior of the apartment block isn’t the most attractive, the room itself was quite good and looked exactly like the picture—modern, minimalistic, and well-equipped with all the basic amenities like a hot water kettle, hairdryer, towels, and cups. The washroom was quite spacious, though the taps leaked slightly and the shower drain could get a bit clogged. That said, the bed was very comfortable, making for a restful stay. One of the highlights was the staff—super responsive and always available on WhatsApp, which made communication easy and convenient. The room’s location is also excellent, just a 9-minute walk from Vitosha Boulevard, with lots of food and shopping options nearby. Overall, this is a great budget accommodation option with excellent service and comfort. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for affordability without compromising on basic comfort.

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.

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!
