    amazing friendly atmosphere, clean rooms, helpful staff, great location and affordable price. A true family experience, with little events and insider tips on exploring Sofia. Will definitely return for another incredible stay.

    Thin mattress and noisy bed construction.

    amazing location, close to main street & supermarket. Twin room was spacious, with a desk and fully opening window. Showers were great. Previous experiences in Sofia were bad, but Bla Bla exceeded expectations. Kind & professional staff, big common room for socializing, clean bathrooms. Trust me, don't hesitate!

    Superb location near attractions, food, and supermarkets. Walkable from bus and train station. New bathrooms and comfortable bunks with fresh bedding. Helpful staff and available wifi.

    Dorm door didn't close properly. Not suitable for differently abled people due to numerous stairs.

    I had the most amazing time at this hostel! the location couldn't be better, right in the heart of the city, surrounded by great bars, clubs, and art events. the staff were incredibly friendly and showed me the best places to go. the hostel was spotlessly clean and had a cozy common area where I could relax and meet new people. the beds were super comfy, and in some rooms, you could even greet the sunrise from bed!

    I did notice that some of the beds were a bit wobbly. But I'm sure they are working on fixing that soon.

    In our romantic escape to a hostel in Sofia, we enjoyed the simplicity and cleanliness of the place. The new and comfortable mattresses provided a restful night's sleep, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, with key attractions and amenities within easy reach. we appreciated the ease of checking out early in the morning.

    While our stay had many positive aspects, there were a few downsides as well. The ongoing renovation meant that some areas were still under construction, like the second floor and the common area.

    The location of the hostel is ideal as it is centrally situated, close to the metro station, allowing for easy access to the city's attractions. the dorms are spacious and well-lit, with comfortable beds and clean sheets. the staff is friendly and helpful, providing useful information about the area. the common facilities, such as the kitchen and common room, are spacious and well-equipped, providing a great space to socialize and meet fellow travelers.

    The bathroom cabins tend to flood, which can be quite inconvenient.

    My recent stay at Bla Bla Hostel was truly enjoyable. The hostel's location is excellent, just a short walk from the Serdika metro station and other popular attractions. The check-in process was quick and efficient, and the friendly staff made me feel welcome from the start. I was pleasantly surprised by the warmth and comfort of my room, which had a cozy bed with a memory foam mattress. Despite being used to a colder bedroom at home, the temperature was just right throughout my stay. The automatic soap dispensers in the bathroom were a nice touch.

    The value for money was great and the room was cosy, clean, and quiet. The hostel is conveniently located in the center with easy access to everything. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

    The hotel breakfast menu could have offered more variety and options.

    The hostel is in a great location, close to all the main attractions. the staff were friendly and welcoming, making my stay enjoyable. the rooms were clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and modern facilities.

    there was no kettle in the kitchen area, which would have been convenient for making tea or coffee. the lack of lockers in the rooms made it difficult to keep valuables secure.
