Boasting a garden, a shared lounge as well as a terrace, HOSTEL SPORT BUCHAREST is set in the centre of Bucharest, 1.2 km from Stavropoleos Church. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can enjoy garden views.

Let's level set for a moment: I'm a solo woman traveler in my late twenties, and I'm increasingly shying away from hostels because my aging soul can't handle, disrespectful hostels anymore 🥹, so imagine my dread as I was scrolling through Booking.com searching for any shred of hope for a hostel that could just hit these basics in Bucharest. I was losing hope until I came across this hostel with multiple reviewers praising it as the BEST HOSTEL they stayed at IN THE CITY, and I have to agree! CLEAN bedroom, bathrooms, living rooms, kitchen FAST, RESPONSIVE, KIND STAFF who were understanding of my concerns. Valentina was the warm smile and soul I needed during this trip! I checked out early but was concerned about leaving my backpack with my laptop in the more public luggage storage area, and she let me store it in my locker until I picked it up at 2:30 p.m. BIG, FUNCTIONAL LOCKERS that could hold my ~28L backpack and likely carry-on luggage as well (apparently this is a rarity for some reason) GREAT LOCATION: in Old City, so close to most city attractions DRINKABLE WATER: I still have no idea where to refill my water bottle in Bucharest, so luckily, this hostel provides filtered water in the kitchen. LAUNDRY SPACE: plenty of space and sunlight to dry your clothes Thank you for a wonderful stay, Sport Hostel!

Well situated in the centre of Bucharest, Bucuresti Bucuresti Hostel is within 600 metres of Bucharest National Theater TNB and 1.3 km of Revolution Square. The property is set 1.8 km from Cismigiu Gardens, 1.6 km from Romanian Athenaeum and 2.3 km from Patriarchal Cathedral. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests.

I returned twice to this place during my 2 weeks in RO, although I did not plan this. It's a very accommodating hostel, a bit like a shared flat. Pauline and Daniel mingle with guests and have really good people skills, making everyone feel wellcome. You need conversations, you'll have that with them, and other guests, everyone's friendly. You'll need some rest, they will make sure this is respected by guests. Very good vibes. I'll book again in summer, when I'm back to RO. While I was really fine in the female dorm, I love the single room, due to the decorated insulation and minimalist feel. I'll be back in June!

The location is in the center opposite to Novotel which was ideal to take public transportation around. The room was clean and comfortable beds. The owner was responsive when chatted in whatssap. Thankful for letting me in early prior to check in timing. Claudio (not sure if name is correct) meet me prior entering to the room, he was nice and helpful. He even gave me a powder for the laundry and offered to hang my clothes outside to dry it quickly. He was polite and welcoming. There were available amenities (kitchen stuff) like microwave & electric burner and kettle but I didn't use it. It will be useful when staying for longer days. And to add, Shampoo and shower gel were provided. The place is along the road so you will be hearing the vehicles sound but it didn't bother me. All in all the place was great and recommdable!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Casa Romana is in a great location near Piąta Romana in the city centre. The room was clean and comfortable, and the host was both responsive and helpful. It’s not luxury accommodation, but that isn’t to be expected at this price range. It’s perfect for the budget-conscious traveller looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay!

    Great location, friendly staff, a budget-friendly place to spend the night safely! Although my party and I had to leave early before the included breakfast, the lounge we were shown had many amenities available outside of breakfast hours. I'm also very grateful to the staff for holding onto some belongings that were accidentally left behind and returning them to me.

Fernando and Carmen are great hosts: always ready to chat, always ready to advise guests on everything they need. The hostel is very well located (Inside the city center and close to the old town), Impeccable hygiene, it has a nice common area, a well furnished kitchen, The bed and pillow are probably the best I've had in hostels in which I have stayed. It has a different and very tasty Breakfast! Definitely the best hostel in town!
