Customer review

23 July 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great location, nice staff, good friendly atmosphere. But the place was pretty dirty. I used to dread going to the toilet or for a shower... The toilet door had cracks in it so people could look through if they wanted to.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

26 June 2009 Patrick would recommend this property

Liked: If you looking for a cheap clean safe place to sleep i would highly recommend Nightingales hostel. The staff are very friendly and always on hand to help, the beds are clean and there are facilities for self catering. The bathrooms and showers are very clean and there is internet accesss 24/7 for free. The hostel is located right in the center of Sofia and everything is on hand. I had a change of plans towards the end of my holiday and left a booked bed empty for 4 nights and they refused to charge me for it which just goes to show how honest and nice they are. If you going to sofia this is the place to stay!

Liked: The couple running the place were very friendly and went out of their way to help us and make us feel at home. Breakfast was good, as well as the company. I would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Sofia, and would definately stay here again. Just a quick tip, make sure you buy a ticket for your backpack when catching a tram because they class it as a person, and you will be fined.

Customer review

09 May 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Awesome! Hostel facilities nothing special...kitchen OK, 3 computers more than enough for the number of guests, breakfast on par with Bulgarian standard. Location is nice & central, and about a 20 minute walk from the train & bus stations. They include laundry service for free which is a great bonus. But the best things were the outrageous managers Mihail and Silvy...we've been traveling for 5 months and have never come across any hostel staff as helpful, genuine, funny and hospitable as them. No joke, it's like having a family in Sofia! Be prepared to learn lots about Bulgarian history, politics, and geography, whether you want to or not...if you have a sense of humor and adventure you will love it here, though if you just want someplace to hunker down without talking to anyone it may be a little much.
