Lock in a great price for Hostel Mostel Sofia – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

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.

Staff are all wonderful. The hostel is huge! Biggest hostel I’ve ever stayed at. I stayed in one of the private apartments which was a 5 minute walk down the street and was glad I did so I could get some chill time. At free dinner times the main room is packed. I didn’t get to try the free breakfast because I left too early each day. It’s a bit of a walk to the bus station but the metro station to the airport and walking to the free tour meetup spot was close.

“Lot of travellers, great breakfast and an amazing stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 3 nights
Dinner is good, but gets boring after a day or so (unlike the breakfast). If they can have something simple as bread+jam/chocolate as another option, that'd be fantastic. I'm just not sure about the sheets being changed when people check-out. I've stayed here for about a couple weeks, altogether and at times, the sheets were replaced and other times they were just adjusted for the next person.
Staff - super cool & helpful. Breakfast - big spread and truly fulfilling. Thumbs up for the free coffee (with optional milk) and tea. Good WiFi, despite having so much people to share it with; no complaints. Towels on request. 24x7 hot water in the bathroom, functioning mini kitchen. The 6 bed dorm is the best - no bed bugs, there is a portable heater during cold nights, cleaner toilets (less people use it, so so), less noise and a much cleaner space (relative to the 18 bed dorm). So, the additional cost is well justified. There is a GrabBox pizza and a small Chinese/Asian food place nearby which serves amazing food at a cheap price.

I have never had such creaky beds in any hostel. I thought the bunk above me was going to collapse anytime she moved. The hostel is huge and spread out, so I was about a four minute walk from the main building. Not bad, but kind of a pain at times.
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.

“Good value”
- • Leisure trip

They have something like seven buildings so if you're in a private room it may be a bit of a walk to get to your room from the main building (around 10 minutes for ours). The main building common area is great but the private room buildings are very quiet and not really meant for meeting people.
Good breakfast (eggs, yogurt, waffles, fruit, coffee, toast) and decent dinner (choice of pasta, lentils, or potato dish) as well, especially considering it's included in the price. Our private room was quite spacious and had everything needed. The floor we were on had two toilets and two sinks so no issues with waiting; there was also a small kitchen area was basic amenities. Staff was good, always friendly; they quickly swapped out a fan that wasn't working in our room. Social area was good for chatting with people at mealtimes.

“great for a short stay in central sofia”
- • Business trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 2 nights
the cleanliness of the bathroom in the apartment/room could have been better. the mattress was very hard. the room had no character. no drinks allowed after 10pm.
breakfast was excellent - lots of options including, fruit, jam, bread, eggs, cheese, tomatoes, waffles, cereals, coffee, juice. the atmosphere of the hostel is really welcoming and fun. there's lots of opportunities to meet people, share stories and play games and drink together in the evenings. the location is good - around a 10 minute walk to the central metro station, free walking tour (recommended), main sights of sofia. you can get a free map from reception. tea and coffee available all day for free. dinner was also included and includes a glass of beer. the night i had it it was a bean stew/curry with rice. the room was in an apartment building next door and had a lounge, kitchen, bathroom. i stayed in a 6 bed dorm. good wifi accessible everywhere.

The man who chekced me in was great and helpful. One other staff member was quite rude. He refused to help me book an extra night even though it wasn't busy and told me to just go online and book it. He also wasn’t helpful in directing me to another company that could help me get to the rila lakes even though the tour the hostel runs wasn’t running on the day I wanted.
Includes breakfast and dinner which is a good time to meet people.

“Great Hostel - But Not for Private Rooms”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
The separate apartment wasn't very good value for the money. My room ended up basically being a 4-bed dorm with cheap mattresses and a shared bathroom with no one else in the room. It was okay but given the distance from the hostel and price, there are far better options for privates available at this price.
The hostel is good for a bigger hostel. The staff are exceptional and the included breakfast and pasta/beer are a nice way to get people socializing. My review here is for the private rooms in the separate building only. I later stayed in the dorms and have reviewed them with a much higher score as they are very comfortable for dorms and offer far better value.
