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.

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

Okay stay

Good area and okay service. The rooms were dark and smelled pretty bad though. The toilets weren't too clean. Really Good service from half the personel. The common room felt a bit excluding.

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.

看板が一切なく、初見では絶対場所は分からないでしょう。 すぐ近くに「French75」という喫茶店があるので、そこに入って店の人に場所を訊いた方が良いでしょう。 一見、黒い壁にしか見えない所に、白いインターホンがあります。それがホステルのインターホンでづ。

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.

kurzfristiger Aufenthalt für eine Nacht

Ich brauchte sehr kurzfristige ein Bett in Sofia für eine Nacht. Diesmal durfte es eine einfache Unterkunft sein, denn ich komme erst spät ins Bett und reise morgen sehr früh wieder ab. Bisher lief alles zu meiner Zufriedenheit und für den Preis erwarte ich auch nichts Besonders. Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich
