    The breakfast options were excellent, with a variety of salami, cheese, croissants, and homemade cheese bites. The staff was also very helpful and even printed my boarding pass for me. Additionally, the location was convenient, close to public transportation and easy to find after initially getting lost.

    The cleanliness of the hostel left a lot to be desired. The shared bathrooms were often flooded and had a persistent unpleasant odor.

    I had a wonderful experience at this centrally located hostel in Sofia. The friendly receptionist, both during the day and night, was incredibly helpful and provided us with great recommendations for exploring the city and going out. The affordable price included a delicious breakfast with a tasty roll filled with cheese, along with tea, coffee, cereals, and milk. The hostel also had a computer available for use. The warm rooms and convenient location near restaurants, bars, clubs, and the metro subway made it an ideal choice. The owner was also very helpful and the facilities were clean and well-equipped. A highly recommended stay!

    Amazing garden with a fun kids play area. The free breakfast, especially the freshly baked rolls by Kiko, was a good start to the day. The beds were comfortable and the towels provided were a bonus. Such great value for money!

    The breakfast options were decent and there was a good variety of cereals to choose from. The location of the hostel was convenient as it was within walking distance of some important landmarks. the staff at the reception desk were helpful and friendly.

    It did not meet any basic standards and this was a major drawback. Another negative aspect was the overall quality of the room.

    Great value for money and centrally located. The rooms were relatively clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast included was basic but sufficient. The hostel also offered day trips to nearby attractions, which was a convenient option for guests.

    The security was a concern as there were no locks on most of the rooms, allowing anyone to enter. The bathrooms were not well maintained, had a bad smell, and often lacked toilet paper.

    I recently stayed at Smart Hostel for a few nights during my visit to Sofia. The hostel's central location made it incredibly convenient to explore the city's attractions, which were all within walking distance. Not only was the price affordable, but the free wifi was a great bonus. Despite the small size of my room, it had all the essentials including a bunk bed, dresser, and even a chair. The opportunity to use the washing machine for free was also a nice touch. my stay at Smart Hostel was pleasant and exceeded my expectations.

    Can recommend this hostel.

    I recently had an amazing stay at a hostel in Sofia. The place was incredibly clean and the beds were super comfortable, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The kitchen and common areas were spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to cook and socialize with fellow travelers. However, what really stood out was the staff. They were absolutely awesome, friendly, and went above and beyond to help with anything I needed. The hostel seemed to attract great people, making it the perfect spot for solo travelers looking to meet new friends. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Sofia.

    Nothing, all was great! 😊
