Great hostel! The staff is very cool and knowledgeable about the history of bulgaria and where to go in Varna. They recommended great places to visit. The hostel is in a extremely great location right in the middle of everything. I went during a off season but i'm sure in the summer time it's super fun. They have a restaurant down stairs which serves great food for the hostel guests. The guy down stairs is very funny and nice!

We had a wonderful stay in Varna at the Yo-Ho Hostel. Wonderful interiors, very good service and some excellent dining too. Very reasonably priced too. People at the Hostel are very friendly and always ready to assist you if you have any concerns. Clean and very cosy place.

This hostel was awesome and the crew was even better! LG was a great host and helped me with everything from where to go and what to do to and how to get around the city of Varna. The rest of the crew there also made me feel right at home, this hostel really felt like a home away from home and I would recommend it to all my friends back in the US!!!

It was very nice & intense to stay these days in the yo-ho-hostl in the beautiful seacity of Varna. The staff was very friendly & engaged to build up a group of people inside for a good socialisation. The organisation of events & information about them was quite continous, & that made us feel as a part of what was happening. Really nice...

Pretty good place. Very clean. Good location, pretty much in middle of everything. I thought the toilets in the showers were.pretty cool. I came in off season so not as much going on..would be waay better in the summer. Staff was great they offered me to hang with them and their friends a couple times. Which was cool of them. Just felt like i was annoying them a couple times with multiple questions i had. All in all, great place.

Arrived late at night to find our room was given away despite emailing about our late arrival and receiving a reply. We were given a different room that night for free which was good but we had to move rooms the next day which was annoying and our private room stank of cigarette smoke, wasn't cleaned till later and had no mirror. Some staff were really nice, others weren't. The location is great. We never the saw the attic opened. Terrible bathrooms & walls were paper thin so it was noisy.

Very nice place! helpful staff! The only downside of the shared bathroom was the strange (to small, with the shower over the toilet)! however, I recommend! The local beach in Varna is not very good! Go to Golden Sands beach, fantastic beach (its easy take the bus 409 until the last stop!) This is my advice!

The bathrooms are to few and far between, the shower is over the toilet, but the staff are lovely and were really helpful. Easy to meet people in the garden :-)
