No negatives to report really, its small and friendly. Most people there are working nearby or are semsible seasoned travellers. Occasionally you get noise from neighbours bit there are plenty signs stressing quiet after 10pm and its normally well respected

Ok folks, this is just a lovely place to stay, small and homely, good beds and a choice of heavy spare blankets and the staff simply cannot do enough for you. Ten Coins Hostels seems a bit self-consciously aware that it's not bang in the middle of town, and puts up various disclaimers to thst effect. But actually it is just a few minutes away and 2 or 3 stops on the Metro - I found it quick and near effortless getting to downtown Sofia. It is also well located by a main road, tram stop, Metro station and a neighbourhood with shops, bars, burher shacks, restaurants plus a couple of useful supermarkets. Though some of it looks a bit 'Societ era) I found it a friendly and pretty safe neighbourhood The rooms were spacious and a bit old fashooned with wooden beds and plenty of hooks to hang stuff plus a verandah onto the street. It isnt cramped and there is a cupboard with plenty spare quilts and blankets if it gets cokd Each of the 2 floors has a full proper kitchen and a good toilet and shower in a spacious bathroom - has washing machines too. I found the staff and owners could not do enough to be helpful and welcoming and I would come here again.

Just little bit hard mattresses :) no separate shower (cabin or curtain).

Cool staff members, good price for private room, key for 24 entrance included with that room. Air conditioning. Clear information about not perfect conditions, payments, extras. There's extra information in reception for what u will need near from the hostel.

Nothing, really!

Six minutes walk to the Han Kubrat metro station and tram (originating station for no. 7). Functional kitchen, washroom and bedrooms. Quiet environs. Great person staffing the counter - was there to welcome me in beyond closing hours. Good place to stay!

you could feel the spring in the matress and eveything was kinda old ... not necessarily bad old but it was old

I could park my motorcycle on the property. Staff was really nice and helpful (give the german one a raise nicest person on earth)

Stayed in July 2024

No air con control in the room. Cold water in the showers when showering in the morning. Lockers were located outside the room instead of in it.

Staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Homely atmosphere. Comfortable beds.

The residents on the third floor were noisy which made it difficult to sleep. I suggest putting hooks, a chair, or a bench in the upstairs bathroom for clothes/toiletries. The pillows need replacing and city and metro maps would be really helpful.

The hostel is in a nice neighborhood with plenty of shops and restaurants and a few minutes walk from the metro. There’s an excellent farmer’s market very close by. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hostel was clean, the kitchens were stocked, there were washing facilities, plenty of hot water, and the heater worked well when needed. The cats were an added bonus!

Stayed in April 2024

Furniture and all facilities are a bit old. Also shower is not so comfortable as you can expect. Location is a bit "outside" of everything.

Staff is very helpful and also speak English. There's everything basic, that you need. But nothing above basic. Free street car parking is 2 min walk from the hotel.

There was a terrace next to my room so other floor roommates went there (through our room) in midnight to smoke which wasn't great cause there was no way of getting the smoke out of the room. The reception is from 9:00-21:00, not the best if early flight, but I made it work :)

Very quit place, close to the metro which takes you to the city center, Railway station and bus stop to go to Vitoshe Mountain. ~20min from a kaufland, but overall great location space. First time ever have slept so good, but that's of course because of the good neighbors:)

So clean and very comfortable 😌

Although smoking is strictly forbidden and there are signs everywhere, our double room seemed to be used for smoking in the past. The smell of cold smoke is deep inside the furniture.

The location of the hostel is very good. You can reach the metro by foot in 5 min and although the hostel is not located in the city center you can reach the center in 15 min by metro. There are two kitchens which are equiped with everything that you need for basic cooking (no oven!). The stuff is very friendly and always helpful!

the beds could be more comfortable but were fine. The kitchen was next to our room and people were loud.

the place is cozy and the staff is nice

Not really downsides (at least nothing the hostel can do much about it)

I managed to book a private room where in reality it was a room for 5 people so extra spatious. Each floor level has a shared kitchen and bathroom who are installed very practically. There is also a possibility to do your laundry for a very small fee. The location is also very near to a metro station and to shops so ideal.

The hostel is very cute, everything is as described! The volunteers and workers are very helpful and kind. They do a very nice job of keeping things tidy and nice for the guests. It has a kitchen and you can wash one load of clothes at no additional cost. It is a further walk from the city but you can use the subway (which is very reasonably priced) to get anywhere into the city center!

Stayed in July 2023

There are small communal areas on each floor but nowhere to really hang our comfortably. We stayed on the top floor and although the room was fine, the stay was very odd. There are long term/permanent? residents living on that same floo who ruined out stay. They smoke in their room and in the shared bathroom so the entire floor smells. They were also quite rude and acted like we had broken into their apartment, giving rude glances. For example the man cooks in the kitchen wearing only underwear on his bottom half. Hoping the hostel sorts this out as it is otherwise a decent place to stay.

We had a decent stay. The hostel has a lot of potential but some things missed the mark. Staff were lovely and cleaned thoroughly every day.

Noisy bed and door.

They took care of us, quiet place, gentle and good tips. They came to pick us up at airport at 00.00 am.

inadequate common area, inadequate kitchen, no laundry

really friendly staff

it’s not unclean, there’s someone constantly cleaning, however the bed sheets and pillows are old and seemed word could benefit from upgrading these

Super friendly staff, so helpful in everything we needed we came from a long bus journey and they we so accomodating in letting us check in early. Offered is a day but we’re too tired/ lack of time to accept. location is good, they tell you it not in the centre but it so close and easy on the subway to get to the centre and there is super market and places to eat around
