Boasting a garden, a shared lounge as well as a terrace, HOSTEL SPORT BUCHAREST is set in the centre of Bucharest, 1.2 km from Stavropoleos Church. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can enjoy garden views.

Let's level set for a moment: I'm a solo woman traveler in my late twenties, and I'm increasingly shying away from hostels because my aging soul can't handle, disrespectful hostels anymore 🥹, so imagine my dread as I was scrolling through Booking.com searching for any shred of hope for a hostel that could just hit these basics in Bucharest. I was losing hope until I came across this hostel with multiple reviewers praising it as the BEST HOSTEL they stayed at IN THE CITY, and I have to agree! CLEAN bedroom, bathrooms, living rooms, kitchen FAST, RESPONSIVE, KIND STAFF who were understanding of my concerns. Valentina was the warm smile and soul I needed during this trip! I checked out early but was concerned about leaving my backpack with my laptop in the more public luggage storage area, and she let me store it in my locker until I picked it up at 2:30 p.m. BIG, FUNCTIONAL LOCKERS that could hold my ~28L backpack and likely carry-on luggage as well (apparently this is a rarity for some reason) GREAT LOCATION: in Old City, so close to most city attractions DRINKABLE WATER: I still have no idea where to refill my water bottle in Bucharest, so luckily, this hostel provides filtered water in the kitchen. LAUNDRY SPACE: plenty of space and sunlight to dry your clothes Thank you for a wonderful stay, Sport Hostel!

Conveniently situated in the centre of Bucharest, 5 Stars High Hostel provides air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a terrace. Featuring a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 500 metres from Museum of Art Collections, 1.2 km from Romanian Athenaeum and 1.6 km from Gara de Nord Metro Station. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.4 km from Revolution Square.

Great staff/manager. Very nice and helpful and available 24 hours. Bar in the lobby which is open late or possibly even 24 hours. There were only a few bar customers the night I stayed but even it was crowded I wouldn’t have heard any sound in my very quiet room. I found easy street parking just a few steps away. Comfortable bed, good AC and Wi-Fi, nice functional bathroom. Pretty good location. A bit of a hike to the city center but there are many transportation options. Breakfast options are limited but it’s not bad and served quickly. Overall I liked the vibe and think it’s a good bargain for the price. I would happily stay here again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Everything! It was one of the best hostels I have stayed so far. The location is the best, very close to the old town and the main attractions. Staff was also great! I arrived very early in the morning from Moldova and the manager let me use my bed in the dorm without an extra charge. Next time I visit Bucharest, I will definitely stay there again.
