Everything! Amazing staff, great food, central location, interesting people passing through and comfortable rooms for great values. Seriously there's no better place to stay.

The common room is a lovely chill zone. The breakfast is amazing. The dinner is alright, but can you really complain for free dinner? The rooms were very nice, with ours having a common area for about ten people, and ample bathrooms.

Bulgaria is not the most welcoming country neither its people are the most friendly. However, Hostel Mostel felt like home abroad. The common room that they had is the most social i’ve ever seen so far. The staff is so helpful and nice. The breakfast is great but don’t expect much from dinner. The location os perfect but there’s not much to see in the city anyways. I’d recommend going on a day trip to Rila 7 lakes. The place is amazing.

The atmosphere surrounding Hotel Mostel was great. Very friendly staff and fellow travelers who made the time spent in the common areas very pleasant and enjoyable. The location is perfectly placed near all the main points of interest in the center of Sofia, with good facilities, clean rooms, and very good breakfast. The waffles are some of the best I've had.

“Private rooms with no kitchen access. Good location. ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The private double bed room that I stayed in was located about 10 minutes walk from the actual hostel. So, if you wanted to eat breakfast or dinner that is included in the price you have to put on your outdoor clothes to get there each morning/evening. Not very convenient. The house where my room was located lacked all the necessities, no kitchen was available, there wasn't even a boiler for water, tea or coffee, no hairdryer. I mean you could go to the main hostel of course to get that stuff but seriously how possible is it that you will walk 10 minutes there and back again to enjoy a cup of tea in your room? So be aware when you book your private rooms. The hostel (like most in eastern Europe) don't provide recycling.
The staff was very nice. The main building of the hostel complex has a backpacker vibe, so if you're in for traveling and meeting people from different parts of the world and exchange experiences this is definitely the place. It was almost a kind of hippie. The room was clean and bed comfortable. Good location.

Main lockers too small for backpack. Could only pay in cash (lev).
Comfortable bed with a curtain, lamp, plug and small locker all inside - the ideal set-up! En-suite shower was hot, clean and high pressure. I was in the 8-bed dorm. Amazing value for money, the free breakfast and dinner were great with a range of options. Lovely lounge area, great vibe.

“A great choice in Sofia”
- • Leisure trip

Not the exact room as showed, no balcony in the room as written. The shared shower is not so clean. The shower head couldn't be fixed in a good position and the water just splashed all over and it got quite dirty when people just step over it. Would be great to provide a mop in the toilet so people can clean it afterwards.
I like the atmosphere of the hostel. Very chill and relaxing. Offering different services with acceptable price. Breakfast and dinner are the highlight of my stay. People in the hostel are very nice as well.

In the evening I traveled over to the city center and was nice to visit. I want back after being with my friend but then I really had a hard time to get back to the room. Needed to go back to the reception to get directions again.
Nice and good place to stay where you are spending really a low amount of money. I slept outside the main place and was brought to the room by the Hostel personnel. I would recommend to any who want to visit with a low budget.

Could probably do with a soap dispenser in the shower rooms... But I suppose that's my fault for forgetting to bring some!
Staff are friendly, really nice vibe at the hostel it felt busy and there was a really great opportunity to meet fellow travellers through the pub crawl they organised. There is tea and coffee by reception and also a pool table. Breakfast and a dinner is included, quite basic but represents excellent value for money. I would definitely come here again! Really pleased overall

Free breakfast and dinner/beer although it is the same everyday. Considering the price, it is an unbeatable deal. I like the privacy curtains, locker and safe. I used the transport service to the Rila mountains and it was also a pleasant experience. The ambiance of this hostel is super social. If you want somewhere quiet, consider staying in their private rooms that are located about 10 mins walk from their main building.
