- From BGN 68.17 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 2,029 reviewsWe knew this was a party hostel so be aware when booking that there is loud music pumping from the rooftop, until the early hours of the morning. We didn't mind as we are a young couple that always likes to party. There is also a bar on the middle level with lots of games to play while drinking. The bars and commons eating areas are great for socialising and having fun. It's a great place to stay out late as the city is very unsafe at night and i didn't feel comfortable walking around the streets at dark.EmilyAustralia
