I like everything. The guest house is in very good location. The facility is very comfortable to stay as for a short as for a long stay. Coffee and snacks are available in the shared kitchen. So, I enjoy everything during my short stay in Sofia. :)

The staff, first and foremost. Not only were they friendly and helpful, they were also very open to my feedback about improvements that could be made to the hostel. As a young establishment, they are constantly seeking to improve, and I anticipate that the next time I visit, Green Cube will be even more amazing than it already is 😀

Mostel was awesome! Incredible location, guys from the reception were super friendly and also really helpful when needed. The common room is enormous and ideal to meet other people. The hostel provides codes to enter every area and of course the room you're staying in, so it's really safe as well. The room I stayed in was spacious and the beds had a lot of privacy, each having their own curtains. Totally recommend it!!

The room we stayed at exceeder our expectations. We had our own shower which is really exclusive for a hostel, a hair dryer, a heater (truly happy about that) and a water kettle. It was clean and well maintained. The room was located in a seperate building within 5 min walk from the main building (both locations very central and convenient). The check-in process was smooth despite lack of clear communication from my side (I apologise for that again). Separate ❤️ for the hangout/kitchen area in the main building. The atmosphere there is incredible - we only spent a short moment there but I already feel like I’d like to return exactly there. Again - great value for the money! ❤️

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!
