The room was cosy and clean, the common kitchen was well equipped and tea, coffee and snacks were available. The staff was nice and helpful. The location is perfect, with a 10 minute walk to metro 4 which takes you to the airport. The neighboring streets are charming.

Really liked the hostel, place is nice and because it’s not exactly in the city center surroundings are calm and there are no noise in the night. For such a small price you get a bed in rooms with working ac, which is great for Sofia weather in summer :)

I stayed here before and I’ll sure come back again! The dorm was surprisingly clean for such a budget stay. Staff are kind and efficient – they do their best to fulfil your requests and keep you happy. If you are a solo traveler who enjoys socialising they also have this grand common room where you can play games and enjoy chitchats! Breakfast for 10 leva was also very delicious and they have lactose-free options! Overall, it exceeded my expectations!

We had a great stay! The room was very comfortable, with a cozy bed for a good rest. The hostel had everything needed for a pleasant stay, even if you wanted to cook. On top of that, the location is excellent, which made it very easy to visit the most iconic sites. Thank you very much for everything!

Nice warm family atmosphere, Zlata is very nice and supports me when needed. I enjoy staying in a hostel, and I did not feel isolation, as in the hotel. Very good price and flexible. Nearby, walking distance are shops Lidl - 5 min walk, and Bulgaria Mall - 27 min. Walk. I can cook my own food in the kitchen, and keep it in the fridge. I really relax there.

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!
