I loved my time at N1 hostel! The place is so clean and well kept. Alex is very communicative and incredibly flexible. It was also great chatting with him and learning more about his experience managing hostels in Bulgaria. I received most of my training from Nina who is absolutely lovely. The first week was mostly learning the ins and outs of the different shift tasks. There is also a binder with reminders on what to do at what times for each shift. I truly enjoyed getting to connect with the other volunteers and the various guests. I'll always love stopping by to say hi whenever the hostel!

Hostel N1 has left me one of the best memories during my trip the hostel, I enjoyed it and had a great time. The hostel is practically in the city center, you have everything you need a few steps from the hostel. Thanks to Nina and Alex, my volunteering has been spectacular, I have no words to describe how kind they have been to me. The hostel tasks are exactly what they explain to you and the schedules are flexible. I felt very welcomed and extending my stay was not difficult at all. That is why I recommend volunteering at Hostel N1, thanks a lot to Alex and Nina for this incredible experience

This was my first volunteering experience and couldn't be better โค๏ธ Nina is sweet and have a mothers heart, and Alex is super chill and patiente. The experience was great, the work is easy and the hours are respected. The first week is a little bit harder because we are learning, but when you learn the tasks, is super ok. We connect with a lot of international guests and practice a lot of languages, the location is amazing and we can go out walking or take the metro easily, and they also provide basic food, which was great! 5 stars experience that I'll never forget. Thank you Nina and Alex!

Alex and Nina are very kind people. I had a lot of fun at this hostel. The volunteers are incredible; we were always laughing. Nina is responsible for teaching us, being quite demanding about cleaning. The first week is always the most challenging, as we are learning the local routines. The work is not difficult; There are days with more tasks and days with less. There are three shifts and a schedule to follow, and each day we work a different shift, which I loved. The scale is always announced in advance, making it easier to plan our week. A hug to Alex and Nina, thank you very much!
