An acceptable 3 night hostel stay
The hostel is adequate for a 3 night stay , a little noisy through the night but that’s hostel’s, it’s in an ok location and central to beach / town etc. it could be improved by a deep clean especially things like the fridge / balcony /, that said the cleaning / cleaner is very good with general day to day cleaning to communal area’s, especially with so many people constantly occupying. The hostel is marketed at a good price point for what it offers, staff I didn’t really see that much but the check in and check out few words were friendly enough.

really nice staff and very clean, much better than what I had expected from a cost friendly hostel. The guests were generally very laid back and warm. overall a positive experience and would be willing to stay here again :) only downside is that the walls are very thin and you can almost hear anything, fine during the day but quite disturbing at night

Good economy option though a little noisy...
Stayed with family. We were in room 105 ( a double room). Room itself was comfy enough though doors to balcony would not close. Worst part was the continual noise from people going past our door through the night, creaking floor in corridor and our door was not a good fit to keep noise out. Had to speak to a guest at 00.30 who was thoughtlessly playing a loud radio in the communal kitchen. Kitchen could be better equipped, no tea spoons and cooking utensils a little lacking. Staff were really friendly and the best part about the hotel. Location was perfect though, right in one of the best parts of the city. Found parking nearby for 12 lev for a day.

Central Varna tranquil hostel.
I arrived on the night bus from Istanbul, at 05.15hrs, & knew that the hostel didn't open until 08.30. so I went to the train station to wait. I returned just after it opened and went upstairs to the hostel. Pleasantly surprised at how nice it is. Newly opened last year, so all fittings are in excellent condition. A quiet area in the pedestrian precinct. Comfortable thick mattress. Tidy small kitchen and eating area. Close to shops. A bright open place to stay.

Nice place to stay for a limited budget
i ve booked 2 nights in a big dorm and the pretty receptionist put me in a 4 bedded room which is more expensive than i booked one. The room was clean, comfortable bed and clean sheets. Building is one of the oldest in Varna but restorated like a boutique hotel. Overall Stay was comfortable BUT the owner rent a big room to the seasonal local workers. They were unrespectfull to the hostel customers. They were listening bulgarian music till midnight very loud and woke up very early in the morning. Positives; Location, clean, price, comfortable, helpful staff Cons Noise from the local workers who stayed in big room Overall clean budget centrally located hostel Deffinetely RECOMMENDED

I would stay here again
Nothing bad to say about this excellent place. Right in the center, dormitories are spaciuous and comfortable, mattresses are nice, hostel staff/reception very friendly and helpful, and it is clean and nice looking inside. Obviously I didnt like the cigarette smoke smell in the common area, but I guess this is normal in Bulgaria anywhere you go. Inside the room, however, all was good.

Shops and restaurants right on the doorstep
The hotel was in a great location with lots of shops restaurants and near the beach the staff really cool and helped me find a place I needed to go to the. Area is a bit noisy like what you would expect being in the central location the only downfall was a bit light polluted in the room but overall it was a good stay for one night

La verdad es que lo único bueno que uno encuentra al llegar a este hostel es la ubicación (a 10 minutos de la playa) y a Victoria, la chica de recepción, que es super amable y servicial. Victoria nos atendió de maravilla en todo momento y supo escuchar y entender todas nuestras quejas sobre las instalaciones que dejan muchísimo que desear. Desde el olor pestilente a humedad presente en todo el edificio, hasta la pésima calidad de colchones y almohadas que parecen casi más antiguos que el própio hostel, pasando por el poco aislamiento de paredes que te permiten escuchar a todos tus vecinos de planta. Estuvimos en 2 habitaciones distintas, ya que no había disponibilidad de reservar en la misma los 4 días, y si ya la primera fue mala, la segunda peor. En esta última no teníamos baño propio cuando se supone que es un apartamento de 2 habitaciones, nada más lejos de la realidad! El baño era compartido con todos los que estaban en la 3ª planta y aquello era un festival de portazos durante toda la noche que no nos dejaron descansar ni una hora seguida ya que, al ser un edificio antiguo, se escuchaba todo. Y no sólo los huéspedes, por la mañana más portazos de la limpiadora! Se lo dijimos al dueño del hostel, quien nos dió largas diciendo que arreglaría los mecanismos de las puertas, pero continuó igual. Demasiado caro para el estado de las instalaciones y las comodidades que son pésimas. Una mala gestión por parte del dueño que se nota que le da igual mientras la gente pague.

Okei olin täällä 4 yötä sinä aikana lattioita ei imuroitu tai pyyhitty kunnolla, lisäksi huoneessa oli paljon pieniä kärpäsiä ympärillä. Muuten hostelli oli ihan hyvä. Ilmastointi toimi hyvin, lisäksi huoneesta löytyy oma lukittava kaappi, hostelli sijaitsee hyvällä paikalla ja hostellin työntekijät olivat mukavia.

Varna merkez :)
Tam merkezde otel çok rahat ulaşım her yere. Aşağı sahile özellikle yürüyerek kolayca gidiliyor. Karşılama ve işlemler hızlı ve basit oldu. Personel çok kibar ve bilgiliydi. Oda temiz konforlu ve küçük dar balkonu yine caddeye baktığından çok keyifliydi. Sadece odada sigara kokusu sinmişti. Banyo tam olarak uygun olmamış herşey bir arada küçücük ve duş başlığı kırıktı. Fakat yine de tertemizdi.
