Liked: Great staff. One day we were offered pancakes for breakfast. Quite location.
Disliked: Seems to be a party every night at the common area which stays dirty all day. Dorm could use some sweeping.

Liked: Central location, and Julian from Brazil, who took care of the check in at the time we arrived. He was the one to make up for all the stuff the owner was not able of. Therefore thumps up!
Disliked: We had to collect our own bedding from the staff and laundry room to set up our beds and it was somehow cold. The owner himself was quite entertaining to some extent as he kept dancing with the 2l beer bottle in the common area, but would announce some lets call it interesting points of view.

Liked: Good place to meet people.
Disliked: My friend had his clothes urinated on by someone in our room, Also upon checking out i gave him the key but he would not give my $20 deposit back, when I asked why he basically had no answer and told me no. There are plenty of other nicer hostels in Sofia, certainly would never stay at this place again.

Liked: It was close to the centre of town.
Disliked: We had to wait 15mins before anyone opened the door. The guy was out shopping. We booked a pickup from the airport and no one showed up. We were given a number to ring and the person was nothing to do with the Hostel. The guy at reception said he has no idea what's going on and just here to take our money. Is was not welcoming at all. The room looked like it was used by tramps off the street and smelt awful. No place to secure any valuables or bags. The fridge was mouldy on the inside. The beds were dirty. Hands down the worst hostel I have ever been too. If you are a single traveller I really would not advise staying here. We found another Hostel down the road which is friendly, helpful, and clean. We picked the Hostel because of the airport transfer and the ratings on Hostel bookers (the ratings are definitely made up).

Liked: the beds are comfortable.
Disliked: cold, guy trying to save on electric bill. Kitched for breakfeast is small. common room small. toilets small. well what can I say , don't stay at this hostel. toilets are gross and tiny, a converted apt house to make into a hostel. rooms are comfortable but it is run by some crazy old guy says he's from Luxembourg and listens to rock music all day. Name is Mark total crazy case that tries to push you around. Don't know if still here but anyone who would let this guy act and push people around the way he does doesn't deserve a penny. Common area quite small and right in front of receptionist. Control case. Place is deserted during the week with a couple people on the weekends. I guess people are smarter than me when it comes to choosing hostelsIf you like being pushed around by a nut who somehow thinks because of his issues he is doing you a favor then this is the hostel for you.You've always wondered about when your bad hostel experience will come well this is it I think. Go somewhere where the receptionist is happy not confused and personal issues. Just a loser that you don't want to be in life. Period. By the way the 4 100% reviews were given by the same person above.
The property's response is
common area is small and not conducive to relaxing. Toilets are horrible and will make you want to check out as soon as go in.
