I met only one of the hosts, Răzvan, who is a very friendly and dedicated person. Btw, he has had a very impressive competitive sports career. And I can tell you for sure that he approaches the management of the hostel with the same high level of discipline and commitment. Was a great pleasure to talk with him! The hosts have done an amazing job equipping the hostel with all the necessary facilities. It has all one might reasonably need, in the bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathrooms etc. Also, superb location, extremely close to Piața Unirii (around 5 min walk). Had a smooth stay here; would wholeheartedly recommend Hostel Sport!! Mulțumesc pentru șederea extrem de plăcută, Răzvan și Oana! 🤗

We were upgraded from the hostel room to a hotel room (Michelangelo Hotel) which was very much appreciated. Our room looked over beautiful trees and garden. room and bathroom were clean and functional. The staff were very accommodating, storing our bags for the day and letting us charge our phones and use the bathroom to change before we departed for the night train. Thank you!

The hostel is really well located, just a few metro stops away from the bus station. It’s a few blocks away from the parlament, and 15 min by walk to the old city. The staff is really friendly and kind. The rooms are spacious and the bed was comfortable. I traveled with a 70lt backpack and I was able to fit it into the locker. Just as an FYI, you will a need a padlock, but if you don’t have one, you can buy it at the hostel. No less important, I was able to leave my luggage before the check in and after the check out for free. The hostel has common areas for resting. The kitchen is well equipped. Everything was clean, specially the bathrooms. Every day at the hostel they have different activities for the guests. If you stay here you will no regret it :)

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.

    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.
