The 3 Best Hostels in Bucharest, Romania

bucharest romania

Here’s a brief overview of three of the best hostels in Bucharest, Romania

My personal favorite was The Cozyness, but each of these are great options and have something different to offer.** Of course which one you like best will depend on your priorities! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

1. The Cozyness Downtown Hostel

Really good location. Takes under 10 minutes to walk to “old town” where you’ll find the best restaurants and nightlife

Free bikes to use, great showers

Very COZY. I’m not sure how many beds this place has, but it’s on the small size. The common area offers the perfect amount of space for everyone to feel comfortable, but is very conducive to making friends since there’s not too much space. Loads of board games, movies, and video games.

Everyone felt like family by the time I left. Including the owner, who is always ready to help/socialize/make you laugh.

2. Umbrella Hostel

Good location. Not the best in terms of proximity to “old town”, but the neighborhood is quiet and safe, with plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby

Free breakfast, large common space with huge TV for watching movies

Gorgeous, quirky artwork on all the walls. Great layout/design.

Medium-sized with 32 beds

Great vibe; everyone was very friendly and welcoming

Plenty of lounge space to do work if you’re a blogger!

3.  Antique Hostel

Amazing location – right in the middle of the historical “old town”

2 minute walk to nightlife & many restaurants

Gorgeous view of the Dambovita river and the Palace of Justice across the street

Medium-sized with 30 beds

Seemed like there would be a good vibe. I was only here for 20 minutes visiting a friend, but my friend really enjoyed his stay here.
