The place is not really a hostel, but an apartment filled with beds. The bathroom does not have a shower. It is not a safe for girls to go alone. There are strange people coming in and out all day. The owner has no criteria and only worries about money.

If you need descent location this hostel is probably the most central in town. Aside this it has very charming bar and staff who will help you with a lot of information. Look for McDonald s restaurant , and the entrance next to it, since they definitely need a bigger sign on the street for easy finding...

Some of the rooms are about a ten minutes walk from the main hostel. The owner came by taxi to bring us from the main building to our room, and kept repeating that "it is written in our profile" that some of the rooms were in a diffrent building. the double bed consisted of two matresses, the second bulding is in a rather seedy area and the shower could be cleaner. all of this left just a average impression to us. would not stay again.

Is basically a block of old residential apartments above some shops that have been converted into hostel rooms. Rooms with shared bathrooms are very basic and a bit worn out, but the place is kept very clean and the location is excellent. Breakfast is poor if you're after anything but cheap bread, cheap jam, cheap cold sausage, cheap cheese, tomato (the best bit of the breakfast) and cheap tea/coffee.

I didnt enjoy my stay at the Internet Hostel for a number of reasons including the lack of internet access, them reselling my room as they 'thought' I was not coming, making me change rooms half the and advertised services were not available. Would not stay here again

When we arrived we were told that we would be staying in another area, which was ok, it was a new part of the hostel with private rooms but it wasn't quite as central and the street it was on was quite dark and Sofia (Bulgaria) doesn't really have great street lighting. Other than that, the room was big and comfortable.

There was some mix up about the room I had booked. We thought we had booked a deluxe double room ensuite, but the reservation that was sent to them was for a double studio. We were still happy with the room but there was some confusion at reception. Also, It seemed as though the hostel had no information about our reservation when we arrived. I had to log into my email and show them the reservation and the invoice.

Have to say this hostel was excellent! the lady who greeted our arrival (violet in english) think Vile? in Bulgarian, was a lovely lady. Gave us loads of handy tips, hints etc. The room was clean tidy and in good repair. The toilet, shower facilities were always clean.. Security was good with locks on room and main entrance door. There is also a computer for internet use and wireless for laptops. Couldnt find a more central location if you tried. We stayed as a group of three men for football.

This is a small, intimate hostel run by a few local women who have converted a flat into a couple of dorm rooms witrh beds. It may not be the type of place for people wanting the party atmosphere of a larger place, but for those just wanting a good nights sleep at a great price, and centrally located, this is a very nice option.

Vary pleased with our stay in Internet Hostel, we got a really big and clean room. The hostel itself is not big, but charmy and very clean. On top of this you're getting top location in the center!

We did not have a good experience with this hostel. Why?1. They have stupid system on the reception. On first floor, where the reception is, guests have to ring the bell and they are able to wake up guest sleeping in the same floor. 2. Toilet: we booked shared bathroom. It was cleen, but they had only one on each floor. Moreover together with toilet. 3. One side of the hotel is wery noisy. It´s oriented to busy street with trams. 4. Staff was smiling, but they didn´t know "anything" about Sofia
