Sofia hostels

Pros: location

Cons: everything except location

Cons: Only reception was located on the address mentioned on the reservation; the appartement was in a different building, quite far from the reception, though not far from the city centre.

Pros: Value for money

Cons: The toilets, could have a poo and shoer at same time. Need bigger bed sheets

Pros: Room was a really good size

Cons: After climbing 3 flights of stairs I was told my room was 1.1k away. The streets are not good for wheeling luggage,was a bit of a pain. Tbh

Pros: Position is very comfortable, as the center is at 10 minutes walking with all the shops opened 24/7.

Cons: The manager probably has a high opinion of himself, trying to be funny saying some words randomly in Italian and treating us badly. Moreover, he didn't care at your question at all and for any other "kindness" like air conditioner, leave your baggage there after the check out, "asciugamani" (towels in Italian), you need to pay extra money. Yes, in Sofia in summer, you need to pay for the air conditioner. Which is not clear while you book the room, they send you an embarrassing mail with all the extra costs for things that usually are normal to give (even tough our rooms weren't cheap at all). And they send you AFTER you booked! Here we go with this funny details: Air conditioning fee 6 .00 BGN per night (Heating and Cooling) Towel charge 4,00 BGN per person per night Additional bed 19.56 BGN per person per night Parking 13.69 BGN per night Service charge 4.00 BGN per room Storage of luggage 6.00 BGN per luggage Fee POS Terminal 12.00 BGN I can understand towel and additional bed. But let's talk about Parking. The hostel is in Hristo Botev street and I didn't see any private parking lot. So what? About air conditioning, for sure you that are you reading this review, you're laughing over. There's no storage room for luggage: the guy will just ask you a 6 BGN to keep your luggage without giving you back invoice or receipt. Like this, you must trust and that's it. And moreover, we were so rude to call him and disturb him, to come and taking our luggage in his office. Poor little big boy! What's a "service charge"? Shut up. You must pay and that's it. Ah, you have to pay cash. They don't want to issue an invoice. In case you want to pay by card, there are 12 BGN. But please, they aren't avoiding to pay VAT. Don't think bad. The hostel is at 3rd floor without elevator. Which is ok, we are young enough to to do it once. As I saw the mineral water dispenser, I asked some water to this guy.

Pros: Very clean,great breakfast lovely views from balcony,large room with on suite,central position.

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: Hotel is situated next to a public transport rail (tram) which runs all night. The staff of this hotel failed to provide working windows so these sounds keep you up all night. Then I had the audacity to go to the toilet (shared restroom) at 4 in the morning due to me not being able to sleep. However they also failed to mention that their lock is broken. I was basically stuck in a 2sqr meter room for almost 2 hours because the door locks you inside. Had to eventually have my friend kick the door in so I could escape this nightmare. There was no staff present and the number provided does not pick up if you have an emergency at night. All in all I would never recommend this hotel, even to my worst enemy. Stay away if you want to have a nice stay in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Cons: Beds were uncomfortable, rooms were cramped and smelly, could hear every other person in the apartments snoring, talking and walking about all night, tram line passes the hotel and it’s so noisy kept us up half the night, shower is built in above the toilets so was awkward as hell trying to get a decent shower, was a homeless person with a foot missing sleeping at the doors of the hotel when we were leaving to get a taxi to airport at 3 am went down early to make sure we got the taxi and had to wait inside because of this person blocking the door
