Best Hostels in Bucharest

TURQUOISE Hostel is the 9.5-rated cleanliness outlier of Bucharest's hostel scene — adults-only, hotel-grade dorms and privates on Strada Theodor D. Speranția, five minutes on foot from Muncii metro (M3) and ten minutes from Piața Unirii. Attached restaurant and bar on the ground floor, soundproof rooms, and a famously attentive owner.

Hostel km 0 is the 8.5-rated attic flat hostel right inside Lipscani — Strada Stelea Spătarul, five minutes on foot from the Control bar circuit and four minutes from Stavropoleos Church. Shared kitchen with a real stovetop, garden patio, air conditioning in every room, and an owner who replies within the hour on any booking question.

5 Stars High Hostel is the 8.5-rated sun terrace + bar hostel on Strada Henri Coandă in Sector 1, a 10-minute walk from Piața Victoriei and the Museum of Art Collections. Private rooms only (no dorms), soundproofed walls, bar, garden, and the only 24-hour reception in the Henri Coandă cluster. Best value budget stay in the city per guests.

Nest Boutique Hostel is the 7.7-rated adults-only boutique option on Bulevardul Regina Maria, eight minutes on foot from Piața Unirii and fifteen minutes from Lipscani Old Town. Shared kitchen, bar, games room, continental breakfast, and a tour desk that books the standard Bucharest walking tours — plus the cleanest parquet-floor dorms in the Sector 4 area.

Popcorn Hostel is the 7.7-rated backpacker hostel seven minutes on foot from Gara de Nord train station, with a sun terrace, shared kitchen, games room, outdoor fireplace, and evening entertainment programme. €14 dorms, walking-tour desk, BBQ facilities in the garden, and the most backpacker-heavy crowd of any Bucharest hostel we cover.
