Bucharest Hostels

Pros: The beds were comfortable, nice duvets. Warm , clean Safe being near the French embassy Flori one of the volunteers was lovely and accommodating

Cons: The staff volunteers at times seem to take over the hostel One particular guy was not very helpful at all, when I asked to extend another night he said there wasn’t availability, in the morning another staff member said there was. My card wasn’t being accepted and he told me it was my card.., there were a number of people with a similar issue, he didn’t make any effort to maybe check if it was the card machine... he was rude and more concerned about watching an episode of friends. He asked guests to move from a table as he wanted to sit there and made it uncomfortable to sit in the common room which I’d expect is for paying guests It was a nice hostel, nice concept by the owners, but the way the staff acted I only stayed for convenience and would not recommend it to anyone in a rush Iv stayed in many hostels around the world and this attitude from the staff baffled me and made me wonder why you’d bother working in hospitality

Pros: Super location, great staff and little nice looking hostel.

Cons: Sharing bathroom window area was dirty!

Pros: Location, staff, price

Cons: The mattress wasn't comfortable, i think it needs to be replaced by a new more stiff one.

Pros: Very friendly reception staff, good location.

Pros: Loved the duvet on the beds, lockers in the room and easy access power plug and light for each bed. Well stocked kitchen and good places to socialise and meet other travellers.

Cons: Whilst there is a common room for guests to use and socialise it seemed to be mostly occupied by staff members watching Friends all day long on the TV. A staff member even asked 4 guests to move off a table where they were about to play a game of cards, so he could sit there and eat his dinner. It felt very uncomfortable being in there at times and instead, our group (6 people who all met at the hostel and got along fantastic) spent most of our time socialising either in the kitchen or our room. Most hostel organised activities were at the other Podstel which was 30 minutes away and really didn't entice you to join in. Little to no information about the city and surrounding areas, things to do etc given by any member of staff. Instead we found out ourselves and through excellent guides on walking tours. Perhaps a little less watching Friends and a little more helping the guests would be nice!!

Pros: The hostel was cozy. Loved the comforter. The locker next to the room and personal light was a plus. Also, Flori was amazing ! She had the best energy and always willing to help.

Cons: Several things. There’s a family dinner with a donation of 20 Lei. How is that a donation? I didn’t like how Bailey went around asking for the 20 lei as soon as dinner was finished. I didn’t have dinner but I found it just rude. Also, Alex (a staff member) was always watching Friends. We didn’t really have access to the TV. He never offered to watch a movie or a show even though we paid for the facilities. He seemed very bothered when we asked a question. He also made our group of friends (4 people) move from one of the tables in the common room just so he could eat his dinner and do homework. Does he know there’s also a kitchen where he could do that? Another thing I didn’t like was that most hostel activities were held at the other podstel (20 min away). Why not do it in both hostels? Breakfast included would be nice—given the price.

Pros: My experiance was good. I sung an indin song there. Everybody appriciate it. Location is Good. Staff is humble and cooperative. Entertaing place.

Cons: Breakfast should be available. Because many backpackers want it.

Pros: Willem was super friendly and gave me extra tips about the city. Cristina and the whole staff were absolutely amazing. You have pop corn for free and water purified for free also. It is really close to the train station where you arrive and 30 mins walk from the old town and parlament

Pros: The owner is lovely, beds are comfortable, bathroom is clean and well-equipped, price is relatively low.

Cons: I don't think there's any disadvantage of this place. Seriously.

Pros: Location and free coffee

Cons: A boy was so drunk that he urinated in the room, using a bin and the wall. No one put him on the street. I didn't pay to share my room with a degenerate. That night it was impossible to sleep. Every night, really all day, the guys at the reception play music and make noise. At two in the morning it is not logical to play music, drink with friends when the guests who are paying. It is a hostel, not a bar!

Pros: Staff is great!

Cons: There's only one sink for everyone in the hostel so it is not comfortable at all. Locations is fine but not the best

Pros: Good location. Comfortable room and bed. Clean and tidy. Speedy and stable wifi. Enough and powerful hot water for taking shower. Staffs are very nice and helpful.

Pros: I really love the area, with cute cafes and bistros, the market nearby, Lebanese icecream and organic pastry shop on essentially the same street, and a short walk away from both the busy metro station area and the chic Ateneu area. Being across the street from the french embassy also makes the place feel extra safe As for the hostel, it has a great community vibe, with the rooms centered around a big hangout area where you can get to know essentially all of the guests if you're fe eling social, share stories and travel tips or the occasional sing along. Which includes the very laid back and helpful staff who are always on hand with anything you might need and a friendly attitude. The kitchen is also surprisingly well stocked, and you can wrestle up a decent breakfast with the free supplies on hand. The showers were as advertised, nice and hot and none of that barely-there water pressure that you sometimes get.

Cons: I had a bit of trouble sleeping because of pesky mosquitoes, on top of creaky doors and floors (comes with the territory of being in a charismatic old building) and the livingroom being as close and as lively as it is. Not sure if there were mosquito nets that I could have asked for, but for the two nights I was there, the damage was already done, a hoard of them was in the room. Also the washing area is really too small. There is barely room for one person to wash their hands at a time, that is if someone isn't trying to get in or out of the shower at the same time. Nevermind doing your morning routine, better off getting a mirror and brushing your teeth and stuff in the shower.

Pros: location, staff

Cons: nothing

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff, good location, nice atmosphere and enough common space to meet other travelers!

Cons: The bathroom was too tiny, not enough sinks...

Cons: Very small rooms.

Pros: The matters was comfortable even though the room made it quite tricky to reach the bed

Pros: The location couldn't be more central, the price is very good

Cons: Very dirty bathroom, dirty sheets and room, very noisy at night because of the live music outside, staff was not friendly at check-in

Pros: Convenient location

Cons: It had nothing to do with the venue but the people I shared a room with invited about 20 of their friends over so it got a bit loud, especially when trying to get to bed earlier for an early flight the next morning

Pros: Friendly cute girl at reception, after check in they left me alone which is nice. Wifi is smoking fast, I was able to download a 1 GB file in about 20 seconds. Cheap and right in the middle of centru vechi.

Cons: Showers are weird, takes some finesse to get a good pressure and temperature. A compromise that comes with being in the middle of the party, you are surrounded by clubs that blast music all night and drunk people are screaming outside along with it. Security is a little questionable, use the provided lockers!

Pros: I really appreciated the location of the hostel, people at reception were nice, shower gel were providen. I will certainly come back

Cons: The bathroom and toilets were often dirty, covers for the bed also

Pros: Location is right in center of old Town.

Cons: Not enough showers and toilet in the first floor. One shower was not working properly. No storage space inside the room.

Pros: Location is great, room is big enough!

Cons: The shower is not good enough, some toilet door will have a gap, feel uncomfortable.

Pros: How forthcoming and friendly the staff was

Cons: The check in time

Pros: Nice room in the center of Bucharest.

Pros: The younger guy at the reception was very nice to us and had very good recommendations about the city

Cons: The whole place smelled like cigarettes, as they smoke outside but with an open door. Except for the room that was poorly ventilated so it was a different kind of smelly. Also, the sheets smelled terrible as if they're not using detergent when washing. On top of everything, when I wanted to chill at the common area, at night, the older dude from the reception said it's his bedroom and he sleeps on the couches (!)

Pros: Close to the city center, comfortable beds, cctv

Pros: the ambient was nice, the room was big for me :)

Cons: the geographic place in Bucharest

Cons: Better smelling sheets detergent :) It wasn't bad but could be better.

Pros: Very Low price!

Cons: The location, smell of cigarettes every where, terrible pillows, lockers are very weak

Pros: Amazing place! It has many bathrooms and facilities. Clean, staff was lovely and great place. Will go again.

Pros: Location is perfect.

Cons: Staff were never at the reception, so we couldn’t have infos... Error during checkout because I have to do my own checkout since the reception was empty (10 am)
