Hostels in Sofia

Great location, stylish rooms and the kitchen/living room area with coffee, tea and snacks is great. Excellent value for money.

As a solo traveler who has visited over 15 countries, I can honestly say this is one of the best places I have ever stayed—maybe the best. I stayed in a private room (not a dorm), and shared the kitchen, patio, and bathroom areas. Everything was incredibly clean, well-organized, and honestly decorated like something straight off Pinterest! Cozy, aesthetic, and super comfortable. They offer laundry...

They were good about getting the check-in information outside of desk hours. They have a washing machine, but have a lot of rules around being able to use it. It was very close to the main pedestrian street. The common kitchen was super cute and stocked with coffee and snacks.

It's located in a quiet neighborhood but it's very close to city centre, so most attractions are walkable. Staff is nice and helpful. Snacks and water are provided in the common kitchen. There are also multiple cats, although they're not close to humans.

Excellent stay and the perfect location. Bed was comfy and everything was so clean.

Our group of 7 adults and 2 children had an excellent stay. The apartment was spotlessly clean, wonderfully quiet, and centrally located– everything was within walking distance. Highly recommended. We’d book again without hesitation!

Lovely clean hotel with very pleasant helpful staff. I slept well as it was so quiet. Very close to Metro, train and bus stations. I would certainly use again.

Good conditions low prices, very close to train and bus stations.

It has everything but at an "OK" level. Basic I would say overall but a bit pricey for what you get in return. I guess it's the price you have to pay if you want to be close to the rail station!

It works. A little loud. But rustic!

I stayed for three nights and found it a unique experience. Not for the person wanting the JW Marriott experience, but if you're exploring Sofia and want to feel like you're part of the culture, it's great. Sibylla, the proprietor, was patient and friendly. The bed was surprisingly comfortable and I slept like a rock each night: no street noise where I was. The shared bathroom was fine, good water...

This is a really fabulous and quirky place to stay. We were fortunate enough to have the whole apartment to ourselves. The "staff" downstairs are a bit hit and miss, but I don't think they actually work for the guest house. The lady we met who seemed to be in charge of guest house was very friendly. Free use of washing machine also!

Is a good hostel with a good staff! The hostel is open 24/7. They have washing machine, fridge, showers, etc And is a quiet place and very safe! I let my bicycle in a yard two day.s, nobody touch! I recomanded this place!

Very cosy, clean and with good vibes. The hostel is very small, it's so easy to feel at home. Thanks also to the staff and the volunteers, very friendly and helpfull. It's about 30 minutes walking from the centre but the metro is one minute from the hostel. I will definitely stay there again.

Nice place for backpackers. Staff was very helpful. Close to the metro station.

Great hostel, cheap and friendly and helpful staff.

Good hostel with really friendly staff just outside town. It's a short walk from a metro station so it's easy to get to the centre and the train station.

Super practical staff, speaking english very well, nice location near metro station, great equipment for the price.

Very nice and Quite place, friendly staff. Has different choices apartments and rooms. Recommended

Bought a room with 3 beds. They gave us a room with 2 beds as there were 2 of us. Didn't refund difference nor offer the room paid for.

Nice chill hostel, looks sketchy from the outside but actually it is pretty cool! The common room is awesome and has free tea. I hung out in there even after checking out and met really nice people, it is really cozy and charming. The location is amazing, max 10 minute walk to everything, also nice neighborhood (as a solo female I felt safe walking at night) . The staff is really nice. The toilet and...

Best hostel for short stay, the staff is so nice. Bed not so comfortable but the price is cheap. Good vibes and the common erae, best place to meet new people. The lobby and the rooms are in separate places little bit of walking. Not so bad but you should know it

Stayed in the 16-bed dorm. Was not as bad as expected, pretty hot and not amazing ventilation though. There’s a small locker included and the room is locked by a code so items feel pretty safe. Friendly staff and great communal area. Good value for money

Largely positive experience in a private room in a well situated location. The staff were very good at communicating and accomodating regarding check in and storage of bags, the room itself is clean and has a fan with comfortable bed and clean sheets. The negatives I found were there’s only one bed with a power socket next to it in the private room (room 14), there’s only one bowl in the communal kitchen...

Very nice hostel with a lot of young people (between 20-30). Staff is really friendly and helps you with anything you need, this includes a warm welcome with a street map of Sofia which they highlight with all the best tourist attractions. Breakfast and Dinner is included, breakfast was small but really good! A lot to chose from, even freshly baked waffels. I didn't had dinner at the hostel but I bet...

I was in Sofia back in October, and this is easily one of the best and most memorable hostels I've stayed at. They have a free dinner every evening and a free pub crawl every night at 10 - you really can't beat that. Hostel was clean, safe, and secure with a great social environment, and was very laid-back and inviting. Right after I checked in, the girl at the reception desk sat down with me and...

There are certain things which can be improved, actually. The overall ambience is ok, the rooms & bathrooms are neat and tidy, however when I rang to ask for directions (I was nearly there, just couldn't see the entrance), nobody picked up. It was only when I reached the building after walking back and forth, then they called back. Secondly, it was advertised that there is a breakfast service,but the...

Very affordable. Strong mouldy smell in staircase and in common bathrooms. No smell in rooms. Plenty of heat and hot water in shower. Noise from the street if your room is facing the street. Friendly staff but normally there is no staff on premises.

Peter Pan is not a real hostel but an apartment with rooms to rent. It is in a good position, it is very clean but it is lonely not lively as a hostel. The owner is very nice and helpful and gives good tips on where to go for meals and sightseeing.

Excellent apart-hostel in a great central location in Sofia. Located close to tram and bus links and even within walking distance of many central Sofia sights. Staff very amicable and helpful, contactable by text and meet you when you arrive in Sofia. The room we booked was clean and spacious and also came with free water and croissants for breakfast which is virtually unheard of at that price point...

We booked for 3 beds room just for a night. The room was clean, warm and quiet. The owner friendly and helpful. The spot is very central which means that you can see many things by walking. I don't give 5 stars because the wc wasn't so clean. Also when i made the reservation the prescription of the hostel was saying that they provide free transfer from/to airport. But unfortunately it costs. Otherwise...

A very pleasant hostal in an excellent location. It has no on site staff but the owners are very helpful and quick to respond if you have any queries. The front door is on the main street next to a coffee kiosk.

Pretty nice place, although sound carries, so I could hear people from the lobby in my room

Very good location and comfy beds, good for the price

Clean and not so many people. Relaxing. Very nice owners.

Had a great stay. Super welcoming hosts. The ambience is relaxed. The bath & kitchen amenities are available 2 areas of improvement- the mattress could be better, and the air conditioning could be made more available

15 min to center with car, i saw buses right in front of it.

Good location if you are coming with your car. Nice rooms. Also good connection to the city center with a public transport.

Totally worth the money. 54 lev . The stuff very friendly. And it was clean no bugs no dirty bedsheets . And free soap for bath . Very satisfied

It was worth for the Money you pay. Do not expect good conditions but since it was a cheap hostel, I didn’t have big expectations. So it was okay. Room was not enough clean, bed mattress was dirty, you can’t open windows as they won’t stop flies to enter room, no air con. But it was a place, easy to find, low prices, people were helpful.

Good price for the rooms that they gave me. I got a clean room with a fine bathroom. Near a large supermarket and bus stations! staff is helpful and kind!

The staff of the hostel is very helpful and friendly, they offered me multiple solutions to go to the city center - the best one is to take bus 260 directly to the city center (20-30 minures). You have a big free parking in front of the hotel and a big supermarket with fair prices within 5 minutes walk. Rooms don't have aircons and in summer is very hot, but you have a fridge. My room was pretty ruined...

Cheapest in town. No security or whatsoever. Friendly pupil though

Very central and great price for the location. Sofia is a great city and this place is a good stating point.

The Hostel is okay, the employees are friendly. It gives a simple breakfast, included the price. Only one point is against the Hostel: unrespectful guests. If each guest is silent between 23:00 to 08:00, then the Hostel is for the price 6 Stars.

Bathrooms are shabby. Its not the type of hostel i had in mind. I have stayed in different hostels in Warsaw,Budapest,Vienna,Bucharest. This was not my experience. It's a place just to sleep for the night.

We are a spanish group, and this was one of best experience in an hostel in a travel. Staff people are amazing and the atmosphere too. THANK U for everything dudes. See u again

Cozy facilities. Fast Wi-Fi. Nice kitchen and free laundry.

Friendly staff, Kaloyan is a good professional with kind attitude to the guest.

Lovely hostel and amazing hosts and amazing people!!! Highly recommended

Nice hostel. Calm and friendly personal.

Kind russian speaking host and sunny summer space makes this place comfortable! Warm water and clean sheets.

Nice place in the center of Sofia and close to services. The people are friendly .. respectful .. but the kitchen closes early around five ... Thank you very much for your good treatment..The price is excellent

I really liked this Hostel. It's very cheap and not so far away from Sofia's center. For Bulgarian standards it's good! The staff is pretty cool and young, however one guy was pretty strange ? Breakfast is also included and you can always make yourself a coffee for free if you want ? Nevertheless, I cannot give them 5 stars, because the connection to public transport (espec. Metro) is not good and...

Art hostel has a nice vibe. The bar and garden are two nice additions to the location. The toilet (particularly the one upstairs) were very dirty. Personel was generally friendly, but some did have a couple of very weird or unfriendly quirks.

A place where where you can find new friends or spent unforgettable time with yours. It's always fun for me to be there.

A place I've never stayed in before. Takes some getting used to but a good experience. A great place to meet new friends from across the globe.

Hostelworld some how cancelled our booking, but I didn't receive any notification. When six of us arrived there, they really made a big effort to host even do we didn't have a reservation. It was great move and deserves much more than 5 stars! Recommended +++++++++++++

Great location, friendly staff, good value.

A nice cheap place to stay. Brilliant location

Great location, simple and clean place. You van walk to the center or use the Metro. (Only 2 minutes walk from the hostel). The hostel is nearby the train/bus station. Nice tot book some trips or go further. The owner is a verry nice man who will help you where he can and have a lot of information. I Will realy recommend this place tot other travellers!!!

Ivo is the best host we ever had. You feel at home in Alegra Hostel. Breakfast is great with croque monsiers, eggs, bacon, cheese, fruits etc! It's very close to train station and close to tram, bus and metro. In a wink you're in the city centre!

Very cozy hostel, the host was extremely nice and flexible about our stay.

Good location (quite next to the railway Station), clean rooms and the besteht host ever. Just can recommend this hostel!

Good hostel, close to the main train and bus station in Sofia. Don't expect hotel services but for a hostel, it's quite good. 4 rooms available, wireless internet, a clean and nice kitchen, 2 bathrooms (with no shower, that's the only minus....) Nice and helpful owner

The host let me enter after midnight for a last minute request and proposed me his best room. I can only recommend this place.

Amazing place! Best places to stay if you’re looking for high value for your money! (Which smart people do ;) - Great location! - Amazing prices! - Chill environment! - Clean and tidy! - High security standards! And last but not least you’ll have the Genie from Aladdin for a host :D

Loved it! Top location, very friendly hosts, very clean rooms. Highly recommend!

Super central location! Clean and affordable rooms! Staff was also amazing! Highly recommended!

Lovely hosts and the location is very decent!

+ Nice atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Great location. 0 furniture outdated and not always working (window stuck) but nice design - thin walls, getting very loud after 3am, got attacked by mosquitoes during night = good for partying and staying central

A lovely, reasonably priced hostel in the centre of the city. The location is perfect and the rooms are really nice, and very clean. The owners are friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay here.
