How to get there

Directions to the hostel:

FROM THE CENTRAL TRAIN/ BUS STATION
By tram No 1, 3, 4, 6, 7
Get off at the 3rd stop at " Hristo Botev" blvd. and go back 2 streets only on the RIGHT side of the blvd. On the second street turn right (you'll be able to turn to the right only)
Our street is only on the RIGHT side of " Hristo Botev" blvd. if you're going direction back to the train station, it has no continuation on the left side of the blvd.
We are at the end of the street, which is probably one of the shortest in Sofia.

BY METRO: Not recommended:The hostel is exactly half distance between the 1st and second Metro stop.

4. Walking:
Walk 15 minutes along Hristo Botev Boulevard direction to the center, please walk on the LEFT side ONLY, otherwise you cannot see the sign "Balkan street", because it has no continuation on the other side of the boulevard.

5. By Taxi

Tell the driver the corner "Balkan" / "Bratya Miladinovi" str., they know "Bratia Miladinovi str. , rather than the very short street "Balkan".
We are the second building on the corner with "Bratya Miladinovi str." (Miladinovi Brothers).

From the Airport:
Call the hostel and staff will arrange to meet you at the airport or in front of McDonalds'.

Nearest airport: Sofia Airport- 8 km
