My booking for a room in the hostel got upgraded and I stayed in the hotel instead. Located on a quiet street but very near the main avenue. The staff at the desk was helpful and gave me useful tip for the airport bus (otherwise I might have gotten off at the old now defunct airport).

Good and clean rooms with an affordable price. You get your own room with a key and share the bathroom only with one person. Mario and his family are also very hospitable and helpful. Communication is not a problem as Mario speaks good English. Would definitely recommend. There’s also a supermarket and some restaurants within walking distance. You can also walk 10 minutes to the metro or bus station and easily get anywhere in Bucharest from there. The property also has a beautiful backyard where you can meet other people staying in the other rooms.

I've read a lot of comments from others & I totally don't understand any of the previous 'complaints' I've read, this hostel for me was just perfect -- and I stay in a lot of places! The check-in was easy-peasy -- the staff member at Nest was from Denmark, an absolute total GEM (friendly & helpful!) -- lockers in the room, beds were pre-made -- soooooooo comfy, the beds! -- lights & plugs beside each bed -- bathrooms & showers were kept clean ((( with good flow & hot water, shifted sometimes but completely manageable )) -- a wee basic kitchen & fridge, for basic preparation ... a varied 'free' breakfast every morning! Breakfast one day was crepes & jam & yogurt .... the next, boiled eggs & veggies & toast.... I liked the physical set up (where the tables & chairs were) -- there's luggage storage -- the bus to the airport, less than 10 minutes away -- an easy walk from the Metro -- grocery stores nearby -- and everything felt perfectly safe! I would absolutely & totally stay here again! The photos posted just don't give it justice! I wore ear plugs, but that's something I do normally.

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.

    The staff made me feel so welcome, and they clean the rooms every day, even in the off season. The amenities are all functional, and the beds are comfortable. This is a great location, and I felt really safe at this hostel as a solo female traveller.

    Massive shout-out to the cleaner, Paula who is so lovely and will go out her way to help you with anything despite language barriers! The hostel is very central and is decent if you need a cheap stay. There are sockets by the beds.

    Very kind staff, big bathroom, upgrade in the 8-beds dormitory and even, as I was there for the second time, the best bed ! Very quiet, as it is not a youth hostel.
