The N1 hostel is a perfect place to stay if you want to explore Sofia and Bulgaria! It's located in the center and very close to main sightseeing of Sofia. The job is not hard, maybe the first two shifts, but when you learn what and how you need to do it's pretty easy. Nina is demanding but kind and trying to do best for guests and volunteers. I spent here one month and I love this place and experience. Nina and other volunteers become like a family to me. Thank you Nina and Alex for everything!

I deeply regret missing the deadline to write this review. Anastasia's time as a volunteer at our hostel was truly remarkable. She excelled in guest reception, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that left a lasting positive impression on our visitors. Her meticulous approach to cleanliness maintenance ensured a consistently comfortable and pleasant environment for our guests. Moreover, she excels in training new staff, making her contributions even more impactful. Anastasia has truly been one of our most outstanding volunteers, and we wholeheartedly appreciate her invaluable contributions to our hostel.

It was a great experience. We are very fond of Nina who is the person who is always at the hostel. She took care of us and treated us like a mother. And Alex is also a great person and always helped us when we needed something. The work is good. We hope to come back sometime.

I think many times when you're in some specific situations of life and much more doing this volunteer process you know the true meaning of what it's to be a great hostess because even I never thinking about it you can find a beautiful person, freindship, understanding, fraternity, concern, loyalty, empathy, information, respect, love and all of that you live intensely in that specific moment of life... so thank you so much God and the Universe for introducing me Alex and definitely as I have said to few people but I'm interested in recognizing righ now "You have my heart boy" Thanks for all:)
