The Hostelz.com Review
This is a simple, new hostel located in the old city of Plodiv, only a few minutes walk to the Roamn ampitheatre and main street. There is a large, quite bare common room and a nicer courtyard, as well as a very basic kitchen.

The rooms themselves are of a similar fasion. The dorm rooms sleeps about twelve people, and is both clean and funcional. The beds are comfotable and the bathroom is quite nice and very clean, although on a different floor to the dorm so perhaps a little inconveniently located. The hostel offeres free internet and breakfast is included in the price of 20 leva (10 euro).

Despite the basic nature of this hostel, it does have a friendly atmostphere and wonderfully welcoming staff. Perhaps this is a hostel that does not encourage one spend a great deal of time hanging out in, but it is a nice place to come back to at the end of a days sightseeing.

5 Lovely
Really nice -- the staff are excellent, and although it rained for a whole day, it was a relaxing and comfortable place to hang out. The location is perfect (although you'll need to take advantage of the pick-up service from the station), and the cosy attic was one of the best private rooms we've encountered. Very much recommended!

4 Nice and friendly
Good location, very friendly English speaking staff, and they sell cheap beer. It rained non stop whilst we were in Plovdiv, and the rain did get inside the hostel through the holes in the wall where the cables came in. However we did apparently experience the worst weather they have had in Plovdiv for two and a half years, so I expect this was a one off.

5 The best hostel I have ever stayed in. Small, cozy, clean, cool, with good atmosphere; friendly, welcoming and very helpful staff; free internet, cold beer. Great location in the middle of the old town, a nice terrasse (and I think they let you sleep in there in the summer if the dorms are full). I have not seen the property down the street that also belongs to the hostel but from what I've seen I have nothing then the best to say about this hostel. I am sure anyone who will stay there will enjoy it as much as I did.

5 convienient location. great staff. fast computer (free). tasty (free) breakfast. nice terrace. one of the best/cosiest hostelz i have been to in all of europe. it's not as complicated to get there as the directions sound, easiest though, just take a taxi -- 1.5 Euro maximum (don't pay more!).

4 I liked this place a lot. dorms were comfy. Good location easy to find and easy to walk to everything you want to do. Owners were really nice and friendly and helpful. Free internet. Not a very good kitchen set up at all. the attitude and friendliness make it a four star instead of three.

4 This place is friendly and immediately likeable. They picked me up at the station, which is worthwhile because it's some way to the hostel, and acted surprised when I tried to tip them. The location is perfect, right in the centre of the old town. The free internet is good, too. They need another bathroom, which I understand is to be installed. Free breakfast is good too. And there were some good people here. A good place overall.

5 Hikers' Hostel is by far one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in, and definitely made my stay in Plovdiv one of my best in Eastern Europe. When I arrived in Plovdiv, I had booked with another hostel. After wandering around the ancient part of the city, I stumbled upon this hostel. I took a look inside, and immediately moved the next day. I ended up staying one night longer than I had planned, and as a result, showed up a day late to another hostel I had reserved. The staff are so friendly and so helpful, I know I will go back.
