Hostel44 in Sofia

Very poor hostel. There’s a list of things that are far below the standard. For one, the doors aren’t locked, not even during the night. So anyone can wonder in and I heard refugees sometimes just take a bed. There was this Syrian guy who just slept in a different bed every night. Another thing that was totally ridiculous was the fact that at 5 AM I was woken up by a staff member, who was asking for the origin of my passport, because something was mixed while dividing the beds, which is unheard of and totally out of line. Then there’s the sanitary services. The showers are in the same room as toilets, so the toilets are constantly wet and taking a shower is very inconvenient. The overall hygiene was pretty poor as well, I’m not quite sure but it seemed like all over the wall were stains of puke, I still hope it wasn’t, but I can’t think of anything else it could be. Furthermore, it was way too cold everywhere in the hostel. I can’t imagine how bad it will be in the winter. To end on a positive note, the beds were quite comfy and the breakfast is pretty good. Overall though, I seriously wouldn’t recommend it however low the price.

I stayed here for 4 days and it wat terrible. I don't know where to start. A lot of toilets and showers are out of order, and the ones that work has broken lots so you can't close them. I took the 4bed room so I can have quiet time. But the room next to us with 8 people didn't have an own door. So all night 12 people go in and out of our door. This is insane. The hostel is a mess. Would not recommend.
