These guys who are at the reception are super cool dudes, I would have not meant such helpful and friendly people at a place like this. Hats off to you guys.

Mudassir Latvia

Cheap. Excellent price quality ratio. Good location. Friendly chatty staff. Meet people. Social living room. They have lockers.

Maximilian Germany

The hostel is run by great people, and the atmosphere is always fantastic, night & day! There's a great chillout area and travelers from all over the world are always sharing experiences and laughs. (And you don't hear any noise from the rooms, which are on a different floor) Bunk beds have curtains (great touch!), plugs and shelves! Really useful.

Elio Italy

very friendly and a very nice hostel. I did not worry about my belongings. Small but well-equipped kitchen, nice common area.

Yuval Israel

Top location, supermarkets like Lidl are in easy reach. Good lobby with friendly staff. Enough showers and toilets. Beds with curtains and lockers. Recommended hostel !

Friedhelm Germany

Very helpful Staff. it is very closed to City Center. Staff speaks fluent English

Özgür Turkey

comfortable beds. separate shower and toilets are a plus. several grocery shops / fast food, bank near.

Ewelina Bulgaria

Great place to stay in Sofia for a couple of nights. I was actually moved from the dorm to an apartment next door which was really appreciated as it was super quiet and the kitchen was clean and unoccupied. Fast wifi, less than 10min away on foot from the city center. Only private bathroom can get busy if the room gets full occupancy.

Michael2006 Poland

The room was cozy and clean. The position of the hotel is perfect. Kitchen was small but satisfied. The stuff was so helpful and really handy! We chat via WhatsApp so no problem.
