    This place is amazingly fresh and vibrant, Everything is completely new, after talking with the manager he explain me that the space is completely renovated and is not expensive.... New beds, new furniture's new white appliance's. The wall art work is also super fresh. Never been to such cool place A+++. If you visiting Plovdiv this is the place to check out. Almost forgot it in the heart of the city everything is 5 min walking distance. Staff was friendly and everything was clean. Thank you Hakuna Matata such a pleasant visit.

    No one met me despite the fact I arrived during the working hours of the reception desk and informed them in advance about it. The room itself was still in the renovation stage, not clean enough. On the first night, people from a neighboring room were watching football and shouting very loudly. There was no one from the hostel on place to interfere.

    The staff was friendly and helpful. The hostel has 2 buildings, both of them are located in the city center.

    Some kitchen tools like the pans are not clean and the fridge is a bit ugly. And it could be cleaner in general. But its not bad. Breakfast not vegan friendly (but I didn't ask for it). Might be loud in the dorms when people stay in the common room late because its just next to the dorms. However there where not a lot of people when I visited so I don't experienced that. Shower situation is not great, as described before.

    Good location. There was a terrasse you could enter from the room, which was great. Big and nice common room and big kitchen. Nice staff! I could leave my backpack after checking out until the evening and also use the common rooms.

    On the 3rd floor of a dark cold building, looks closed from the outside.. room very stuffy, Bunk beds uncomfortable.. the shower was just a shower head in the toilet, difficult to use.

    Very good location for exploring Plovdiv and very cheap . Lockers with keys for belongings.

    I don't like the fact that there are a lot of stairs..a lot.If u are drunk for example I am not sure that is possible to held them.Also if u have any luggage different that only back pack it will be nightmare.The hostel is not clean enough,there are no curtains to separate beds in common rooms,when i checked in my bed was still with sheet from other person before me so the receptionist was forced to change it immediately,the pillow was super old ,even doesn't have a pillow shape.....

    The location is great and there are so many friendly yang people.The atmosphere is the thing I definitely like and the breakfast was tasty and i liked the time shared with all the people there.probability i will visit it again and i hope it will be more clean and organized.

    breakfast experience was disappointing mainly because there was not place to sit, people who finished eating didnt clear the too few seats in the dining room. not much food left and i went to buy more food in the grocery shop. the cook was not speaking English which made it a frustrating experience for both sides. showers were poorly equipped and not clean. we didn't stay for the second night we booked

    location was good. atmosphere was nice and welcoming.

    - too few sockets in the room/ no sockets next to every bed - bathrooms could do with a bit more cleaning - internet access was patchy at times - very few mirrors

    - friendly vibe and welcoming staff - clean room - privacy curtains in the bedroom - nice common areas and a great terrace - location - breakfast included (pancakes!) - opportunity to leave the luggage after check out
