Zarin was the best! The hostel is good but he definitely made my stay special! He cooked a great breakfast every morning, took me to a hike, we played games at night. He really cares about the guest and he is very knowledgeable about the trails in the region.

“Dissapointing. Overpriced. Shared bathroom is tiny. It’s a toilet with a shower hose.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night

I wasn’t aware I would be sharing a bathroom. Mostly on booking.com it will say room with a shared bathroom. This one did not and you really had to go into the description to see that it was a shared bathroom. And I would hardly even call it a bathroom. It was a toilet with a shower hose hooked up to the basin so you are showering close to the bin of other peoples’ used toilet paper as you are not allowed to flush toilet paper. YUCK!!! The description of the room and place was misleading. There is a roof terrace but to access it you have to walk up tiny staircase and be able to climb through a tiny door. So if you are not nimble or if you are a bigger person you might not be able to access the roof terrace. Also there are a lot of stairs and the staircase is narrow so it would be difficult if you had heavy luggage. I think a lot more of this stuff needs to be put in the description. I paid for a double room. Bed was big and comfortable but I only had one pillow. Is this because I was alone? I paid the price so it seems stingy to remove a pillow and not really what is done in the hospitality industry. I know this sounds petty, but feeling duped, I just felt like a cash cow being taken for a ride. Bedroom door is glass so when light in hall is on, can’t sleep.
Location. Friendly guy but I believe the description on booking.com is embellished and exaggerated.

“VT”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 7 nights
organization and management seemed a bit lax. house needs some TLC. food was needed for breakfast. toilet paper ran out. garbage needed to be thrown out daily. mopping the floors is recommended. cleaning the bathroom daily is imperative especially when there are more than one guest. mattress was a bit hard and pillows need a serious washing. wool blankets are itchy and heavy.
gorgeous view of the castle day and night from the room. hostel arranged a taxi that would take me directly there. other taxis will not go up. staff helped me with my wheelie to the taxi stand down the hill. pavement is uneven stones at the moment. a key and an excellent map was given to me. a simple breakfast was mostly ok; my special requests of what I thought was pretty standard were honored. space heater in room worked well. very good internet connection. hot water in shower. sheets and pillow case clean. washer was fine but took a long time. staff told some guests who were nice hiking. VT is a nice little town with a lengthy history. decent restaurants on the main drag. artisans and craftspeople reconnecting with their trades for souvenirs. rose products available.

“Disappointing, not as advertised, ended up being very expensive and very poor service after the stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 1 night
We ended up being put in a dorm instead of a double room, although there was no one else in it. What seemed like an issue with the plumbing left the coridoor near the toilets smelling of sewage. The biggest problem though was that on Saturday morning it turned out there were no staff about and no breakfast. We ended up having to rush else where for breakfast and paying more for it. We wrote to the hostel via booking.com and then directly. Almost a month later, they still haven't replied to either message.
We stayed at the Hikers Hostel on 5th October, for one night. We chose the hostel because we had to leave Veliko Tarnovo by 10 am and were told at the point of booking that the price included a particularly good breakfast. In theory, this was good. In practice, it was not.
