About

If you are someone who thrives on connection, creativity, and new experiences, T5 Social is your home away from home. Designed for travellers who want more than just a bed, it’s a place where stories are shared, life is celebrated, and lifelong memories and friendships are made.

EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES 🎉
Every evening at T5 Social brings a new event starting at 8 PM, keeping things fresh and exciting for our guests, travellers, and locals alike. Our vibrant common area is always alive with creativity — whether it’s an impromptu jam session featuring our musical instruments like the piano, guitar, ukulele, accordion, or flute. For those who enjoy games, we offer over 100 board games, a ping-pong table, and regular events focused on chess, poker, and backgammon.

BAR 🍻
Our in-house bar is open every day from 9 AM to midnight. It’s the heart of our space — perfect for starting your morning with a coffee or ending your day with a drink while connecting with new friends.

CO-WORKING SPACE 💼
Need a quiet place to work or catch up on projects? We’ve got you covered with a dedicated co-working room available Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. Stay productive with fast, free Wi-Fi offering upload and download speeds of 300 Mbps. Whether you're remote working or planning your next adventure, you’ll find the perfect blend of focus and inspiration here.

BOOKING ✨
If you’re traveling solo and looking to meet others with the same adventurous spirit, this is your space. We prioritise individual travellers seeking fresh connections over groups. We operate as a solo backpacker hostel and only accept guests travelling with an international passport. Groups of three or more are not accepted, whether booked together or separately. You must be 18+ to stay with us, and just a heads-up — we have a friendly house cat waiting to say hello. All bed bookings must be made via our official website — we do not accept bookings on arrival (walk-ins). If you arrive without a booking, you can check availability online and complete your reservation there.

DORMITORIES 🏨
Comfort and convenience come as standard: each bed is equipped with a reading light, USB port, secure locker, and dark curtain for added privacy. Don’t forget to bring your own padlock to keep your belongings safe. If you forget, you can purchase one at reception. Quiet hours start at 11 PM, though on Friday and Saturday nights you can expect a little more energy as we embrace the weekend vibe.

RECEPTION 🛏️
Our reception is open daily from 9 AM to 1 AM. Check-in starts from 2 PM. If you’d like to arrive earlier to drop off your bags, we kindly ask that you do not arrive before 9 AM, when reception opens and we’re able to assist you. If you’re arriving very early in the morning, we recommend grabbing a coffee nearby or doing a little sightseeing until then. Please note that we are unable to accommodate check-in after midnight. If you are set to arrive after midnight, we strongly recommend cancelling your reservation in advance and arranging alternative accommodation. Arrivals after 1 AM without prior arrangement may be treated as a no-show and are non-refundable in line with our cancellation policy.

IDENTIFICATION 📌
A valid government-issued ID is required at check-in (international passport required for all guests). A full name, email address, phone number, and valid credit card details are required to make a reservation.

PAYMENT 💳
Reservations must be guaranteed with a valid credit or debit card. Payment will be processed online. We do not accept in-house payments for accommodation, either by cash or card — any remaining balance must be paid via the secure payment link provided. The total reservation amount may be pre-authorized within 72 hours prior to arrival. If pre-authorization fails, we’ll contact you by email to update your card details, and failure to provide valid payment details within 24 hours may result in cancellation of the reservation.

Please note that a city tax of 10 RON per person, per night applies to all stays. This tax is collected by the hostel on behalf of the municipality and will be included in the total reservation amount.

CANCELLATION 🕒
A deposit is collected at the time of booking. Cancellations or amendments must be made via email at least 72 hours before arrival (by 2:00 PM GMT+2). Cancellations made within this notice period will not be charged. Failure to cancel at least 72 hours before arrival or to notify staff via email will result in a charge for the full amount of the stay.

HOSTEL UNAVAILABILITY 🛠️
In the unlikely event that the hostel becomes unavailable due to circumstances beyond our control, T5 Social reserves the right to cancel the booking. Any deposits or booking fees paid will be refunded in full in such cases.

HOUSE RULES 🛠️
You’ll love it here if you believe in kindness, curiosity, and respect for others. We ask that you:

Be compassionate and open-hearted towards your fellow guests.
Respect our no external alcohol policy — our bar is open all day.
Avoid the distribution or use of illegal drugs.
Keep things peaceful after midnight.
Take care of your personal belongings.
Treat our space with the same love and care you’d give your own home.

The beds were comfy, and there are a lot of social activities. But, This hostel is run down and dirty. The rooms smell musty, none of the doors are properly closed to the rooms allowing anyone access. The showers don’t drain, and there’s no hook or shelf to hang anything while you’re showering. Although it is social, the facilities are severely lacking and the location is a 30 minute walk from old town/bars. I wouldn’t not recommend, nor stay again.
