Bathroom locks did not work, and the locks otherwise didn't seem that reliable. Few times I found the only doors with locks to be open. Bathroom was occasionally covered in water and rooms occasionally had a strange smell.

Great hostel. Great staff running the place. Lovely people staying whilst I was there. Beds comfortable, lockers available, plenty of space in the room. Bathroom adequate but the shower is just a little awkward. Rooftop- beautiful! Location- perfect, easy walk to anywhere in town. I was only there for 1 night but I could easily stay longer. Didn't use the kitchen but it looked well set up. Would definitely recommend.

They have kind and welcoming staff. There's only one bathroom upstairs, but there are three on the second floor, so I didn't have a problem with waiting for the shower. The 4th floor rooftop terrace is the PLACE to be for the sunset! 10/10!

Great location and value for money! Breakfast is included, the staff is friendly and helpful. Summer in Plovdiv is hot but in the late afternoon the top floor open roof terrace is a lovely place to be.

no atmosphere and gross bathroom with barely a real shower, as all water drains into the center of the bathroom. clean bed. staff were drinking in the middle of the day. but good location in the city. would recommend for 1 night.

Great location, nice enough dorms. Was very quiet when we went and we were the only ones in the dorm but has a nice social space for busier times. Lovely staff.

The hostel in itself has great facilities : the roof terrace with the bar is great, the kitchen is big and so is the common area. But it feels like the place has been abandoned. The bar is not in use, there are no forks in the kitchen (not even one), the staff is nowhere to be seen half of the time, there are no lockers . When I arrived at 10pm the front door was open with no staff in sight. I had a good time because of the people I met there, not so much because of the place itself.

I met some nice people here and breakfast was really good! However the cleanliness of this place leaves much to be desired. We were allowed to use the kitchen but there’s nearly no supplies. At some point we opened the oven and there was a pot with just mold in it.

Great staff, clean place, perfect location. Would very much suggest staying here. Breakfast is not much but still a nice perk. Definitely a good stay and worth the visit- Plovdiv is amazing.

I would have liked to have rate this hostel higher but there are undeniable issues. 1. No security in the night time - no person on the reception desk, door in, is open and no locks on the bedroom doors. 2. Breakfast is a deep fried batter, apples soft& oranges cut the day before. 3. Only 2 normal teacups, no small plates, no pots or cutlery ..and anything that was there I had to wash as it was dirty. 4. Sheets v poor/dirty/ripped. 5. Reception worker v nice & soup made for all which was...

Really nice hostel in a good location. Was a bit quiet with it being off season but still really easy to meet people. Roof terrace was a nice bonus.
