The apartment is amazing! It has everything you need, even coffee tea, water and some snacks. There is a small terrace and all the common areas are very comfortable to work, have a coffee or just enjoy your time. My room was very small but with a nice inner yard view and I didn't need it except for sleeping.

I received the best room, number 7! Very cute and clean. It was just a empty bottle of coca-cola on the balcony😂 they didn’t see it I guess. I really liked the light of the room and the fact that is was exactly in the centre of Sofia. The bathroom is in common with the others room, are 3 toilets in total, and showers separately. This is why the price of this accommodation is so low. But it really worth it, especially if you stay a few days. If I’ll need again a place where to stay in Sofia, I will choose it again. *ask for the room number 7!* 😂 Thank you!

This is one of the best hostels I've stayed in. The staff were super friendly, very helpful and the volunteers were amazing. The breakfast is good, it's really close to the main sights and there are 3 supermarkets within a 10 min walk. Trams to everywhere are right outside There is a no noise after 10pm near the rooms rule, but the common room is open to midnight so it's perfect for both the quiet traveller who wants sleep and the party traveller who wants to vibe. Clean rooms, lockers for each bed, POOL TABLE(!!!!) and even day trips you can book to Rila Monestary (bring cash for the driver). I don't often go to the same place twice but I will be coming back here.

The place is incredible, clean and very friendly, the only thing I didn't like was one of the receptionists, the one with long hair, he wasn't very kind to me...you arrive from traveling tired, full of expectations and you are greeted by this doll and the truth is it's very disappointing, but oh well, everything else was excellent.

We had a great stay! The room was very comfortable, with a cozy bed for a good rest. The hostel had everything needed for a pleasant stay, even if you wanted to cook. On top of that, the location is excellent, which made it very easy to visit the most iconic sites. Thank you very much for everything!

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!
